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.

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.
