Oioi cadets, I know it’s been a loooooong time between posts on the B’n’C site so I’ll divulge the excuses for each of the team: Mischa is in Africa shootin’ stuff (35mm) and getting all Wilbur Smith; Liam is busy saving Melburn from being overrun by crust punks one hipster vegan gig at a time; Nic White is busy keeping Cascade in business (although exactly who is in ‘liquidation’ is a topic up for debate); Matt Grundy has found domestic bliss; Hunners hit thirty, realised he had become ‘Van Wilder’ and has gone underground in an attempt to finish his degree before turning fourty; and me? Well, in between discovering the effects of each new germ brought home from Childcare I’ve been expanding my waistline in the Central Australian Desert. With temps to hot for riding in anger (meaning little to report) and limited time availible between nappy changes and hanging them on the washing line has meant the B’n’C online prescence has slipped. I promise it won’t stay this way.
There are a few things hanging in the wings this coming summer, there’s the ‘(D)overnighter’ ride on 20>21 December (keep an eye on our Facebook group for more information), a ride to the summit of Mt Wellington for a sunset beer before the New Year and I’m pretty sure Lingy has a Tweed Ride and Gentlemans Race planned. I’ve applied for a few jobs in Tasmania so, fingers crossed, hopefully I’ll be a resident of the Southern Isle again by February. You can guarantee that if I score any of those jobs I’ll be organising another ‘photocat’ before Easter!
Ok, by now you’re wondering about the above picture? It’s the banner from my new blog ‘Les Cafards’ (http://lescafards.blogspot.com/).. This blog will be a little differently focussed than the general B’n’C content but still velo orientated. Hopefully a few B’n’C readers will flick over there and have a read from time to time. Plug over.
Haven’t got any new bike pics to post as Mishmash has stolen my camera so you’ll just have to be patient! Thanks for checking back on the B’n’C site, just remember, ‘good things come to those who wait!’

Huzzah!
Wha… what? Is this thing on?
& what’s facebook?
Hey K!W!, when is the next B’n’C AMG? December 24? Will you be unveiling the B’n’C Champagne there? will we attend the ‘Cage fight’ again? Who are the 2011 Presidential Candidates? Will you stand for another term?
We are awaiting the return of our spiritual leader from his journey into enlightenedness.
I have gained access to the champagne making machine & the knowledge to use it.
Stay tuned.
04-12 and 18-30 December for flying visits. Bringing a bike. Thinking afterwork ascent of Mount Wellington for a sunset beer and overnight on the summit followed by a sunrise descent and back in time for work the following day. How does Wednesday 08 December sound? Could meet at Salamanca Lawns at 17:30pm??
