New Baby

On Thursday 8/4/2010 Milly Patricia Williams joined our family at 11:44am. She was 2.540kg & 48.5cm long. She's been home for a while now & the boy's are loving having a little sister. Carolyn & Milly are both doing well & now our house seems to be getting a lot of pink all of a sudden. I want to thank everyone for their kind wishes.

18/8 Road ride today with Neil & Gav. 3:05hrs out the back of Eltham to St Andrews doing all the fun climbs. Some of us had some leg issues, some of us just haven't been on the road bike for a long time & for another it was the first ride on a new bike on roads they didn't know existed. So this made for great fun & hammered legs. It shows that I need to spend so more time on this bike when a 92kg Brick is climbing better than me. Give me a few weeks.

James Williamson Passes Away

Fellow Giant Rider James Williamson passed away in Ceres, South Africa on Tuesday morning. The former World Solo 24 Hour mountain bike champion had been competing in the Argus Cape Epic Mountain bike race.
According to South African newspaper Cape Argus, the 26-year-old Australian was taken to hospital after his teammate, Sean Lewis, had been unable to wake him on Tuesday morning. He was transported to Ceres Private Hospital where he died a short time later.

James was a nice guy who will be missed. All our best wishes go out to his family & friends.
