As already has been expressed by Damo, farewell to Darren and his family ..
We look forward to seeing you running around the park again - any park for that matter - in the not too distant future.

Tour Notes - Vinokourov/Basso
Vinokourov Out
The sport's biggest drugs scandal since the Festina team were expelled from the 1998 Tour de France has taken another twist after the Astana team of the Kazakh star Alexandr Vinokourov were denied a place in this year's race due to their involvement in a major doping inquiry.
Basso Wants Double
Apart from yearning to be the rider who emerges from the shadow of Armstrong Basso also plans to defy the American's insistence that all energy should be poured into an unremitting assault on the Tour. Basso, instead, is trying the far trickier feat of winning both the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France in the same year - requiring him to maintain near-perfect form and fitness for 10 consecutive weeks.

Capricon 1/2
Just a quick catch up as the field approaches 30% full, to let you all know we're still taking entries (we've had many calls and email about this!) and will do so until the nominated closing date for entries or 600 competitors, which ever comes first. Yes we know that bookings at the Resort are nearing 100% full (talk to Tri Travel REAL soon, and book those air-tickets now) but
Right now the entry stats are as follows:
There are around 132 male entries and 55 females in 20 age group and the open categories.
Leading the field right now are some top age group entries and also some top open competitors in Australian International, Luke Bell, last year's runner up Cameron Watt and Sydney based Adam Dimech, while the female field should be headed by Western Australia's Angela Milne, NSW's Belinda Halloran, Tasmania's Amelia Cox, and the Northern Territories Alison Keane are all looking at competing this year.

For those who have already registered we shall be forwarding full details through next week. To register please forward us an email on info@citybikedepot.com.au and we shall send you the details. Cost will be $10 for a day insurance.

Team Leader Damo
Further to John's e-mail and on behalf of Lisa and Dingo...
In the past while John has been away we tend to have people ride with us that don't usually week in week out.
So please be aware as John mentioned if the ride says easy it will be easy.
Also we won't be changing where we ride and where we stop.
Please make sure you have lights both front and back and that you carry a couple of spares.
Calling AND pointing holes is a must. Pointing must be done as people at the moment are wearing things to keep their ears warm and it's sometimes hard to hear.
The person at the back - This person's role is just as important as the 2 up the front. Keep your eye out for park cars coming up and also when the group has to go over a lane (ala as we've past the SuperCentre - gone through the lights and go onto the main road and have to merge into one lane).
You must wait for the car to past the whole group before calling over.
Taking a lane is less dangerous than going single - if you're at the back and there a few cars coming up behind - Be confident when you signal and take the lane.

Jan in form for tour
Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) posted a spectacular win in the Tour of Switzerland after overturning a 50-second deficit on yesterday's final stage, a 30-kilometre time trial in Berne.
The German clocked the fastest time of the day to win the stage by 23 seconds from the Australian Cadel Evans (Davitamon Lotto) and was more than a minute faster than overnight leader Koldo Gil (Saunier Duval).
That gave Ullrich the overall win and confirmed that he is in shape to challenge Ivan Basso (CSC) for next month's Tour de France.

Macca going to Europe
From a June 7th entry on his site:
I am in Australia for about 1 week before flying up to Europe to compete in the UK Half Ironman and then do the Quelle Roth Challenge again. This should be a tough Ironman but is one of my favorite races in the World.
I am really looking forward to getting back to Germany and having a hit out again. I will take about 1 month off again after Roth before focusing my entire attention on Ironman Hawaii success again.
I am really motivated this year to be successful in Hawaii and with a new racing suit designed specifically for hot humid weather, I am really eager to get back out on the Queen K Hawaii and put together a solid race.

A Dream on Two Wheels: The Speedy BMC TT01
The ultimate: the BMC TT01 full custom carbon bike, built with Dura Ace and Zipp 909 Disc racing wheels ($US15,000).
This bike has it all: speed, aerodynamics and light weight. This bike allows the rider to remain in a perfectly aerodynamic and ergonomic sitting position to shave off time, which can make the difference between winning and losing.
Paired with Dura Ace, the lightest and most durable components; and Zipp Disc 909 wheel set, the lightest, most aerodynamically efficient wheel of its kind, ever; this bike is any triathlete dream come true.

Coffee
DRINKING coffee could help protect you from liver disease caused by alcohol, research shows.
People who drink one cup of coffee a day are 20 per cent less likely to suffer alcoholic cirrhosis than those who drink none.
And the protective effect increases with the more coffee you have: those who drink two or three cups a day are 40 per cent less likely to suffer cirrhosis, while people who drink four or more cups are 80 per cent less likely to get the disease.
The findings were conducted by researchers at the Kaiser Permanente health care organisation in California, and published in the US journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

A REMINDER!
We would also like to encourage any athletes who are considering applying for the Long Distance team to do so as early as possible to ensure the finalisation of the team happens quickly and efficiently. Even though the closing date for applications is 15 August, the earlier TA can estimate numbers the better for TA's ability to provide a fantastic service to team members. Please use the following link to the TA website to make your application, https://www.securedvirtualnet.com/Sma/Triath/Memberships.aspx.
If all else fails, go to the TA homepage, refer to the National Online membership icon on the righthand side in orange and this takes you through to the link for ITU Worlds Applications.
The selection policy link is below and can also be found by visiting the World Championships page in the event section of the TA website.

We have asked the World Champs be it’s own separate section when more of the old website information is moved over into the new TA web format.
TA looks forward to receiving your applications!

Elixr - Swimming Sessions
There is speculation that someone amongst the group is training or about to start training others how to swim at Elixr's Bondi Junction location. Still waiting confirmation.
Sport is fleeting ...
After an epic 22-day climb up a near-vertical Himalayan peak, an Australian couple in their 40s took just two minutes to "fly" back to base camp and smash the world record for the highest BASE jump in history.
With the aid of their specially designed wing suits, which mimic the way a sugar glider flies, the pair were hitting horizontal speeds of almost 200 kmh and vertical speeds of 50 kmh.

Winter outlook
There is a moderate shift in the odds towards below average winter (June-August) rainfall across parts of northern New South Wales, the Bureau of Meteorology announced today. For the rest of the state, the chances of accumulating at least average rain during winter are between 40% and 50%.
The pattern of winter rainfall odds is largely a result of above average temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. Conditions in the Indian Ocean are near normal and have little influence on the outlook.
For the June to August period, the chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% over much of northern New South Wales, north and east of a line from Sydney through Dubbo to Bourke, except for some coastal areas (see map). This means that below average falls have a 60 to 70% chance of occurring.
