Hugo's Magic Pump

Hugo is the winningest 6-day racer in Italy, beating everyone, including the Mafia's 'Fixed' riders. To stop losing gambling moneys, the Mafia decides to wear Hugo down by throwing beautiful women at him, hoping to reduce his endurance and stamina. This Adult movie from the late 70's was Competitive Cycling Magazine's choice for best cycling footage in the era before 'Breaking Away'.

Apartment in Lausanne

Hey Jo's - I think I've mentioned this to most of you, but thought I'd put this on the blog as well...
I'm looking for an apartment at the moment, available immediately if possible. I'm looking at either Lausanne or somewhere around the "Jurasiens", meaning Nyon/Cheserex/La Rippe, etc.
If you know of someone or have any leads I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.
Also, if you happen to see anything on the bulletin board at the cafeteria of your workplace that could work as well!
Thanks in advance & look forward to seeing you on the slopes as soon as the rain turns back into snow!

CRC order - anybody want to order anything?

I received and email from CRC (I'm sure many of you did too) providing 10% discount on purchases over 100 GBP, over and above any special offer they have.
I'm going to take this chance to make an order, if anyone would like to piggyback on the free shipping let me know and I'll add your item to my basket. Deadline is tonight!

NB - this may be your chance to get a good deal on the lights you need for the Tuesday night skating in the Jura...

Ready for the knife!!!

Hopefully I wont feel like hannibal lecter's victim this time.
