A classic battle between Closer teammates Jarrod and Petey entertained and enthralled the 1 billion fans who braved the heat and the boredom (entertained, enthralled and bored all at once) to watch the Otway Great Ocean Road Classic on Saturday. Petey was thrilled with the victory, "This is the happiest day of my life since the time when Mandy2 thought I was someone else and kissed me." Jarrod on the other hand was distraught, "Losing to Petey! What's next? Losing to cross dressing albino apes? Speaking of primates, I guess I could ask Alfy to race. Maybe I could beat him." On reflection Jarrod did retract that comment, "Alfy in lycra with a helmet is an unbearable visual. Skinny, hairy legs. Skinny, hairy arms. Uggghhh... he should stick to riding camels."
The race itself was a bit of non event for the pair. 145km long with one nasty climb and one extremely fast descent. Otherwise the only highlight was Petey missing out of breaking 5hrs by 5 seconds. Hilarious stuff.
Mandy2 also competed, finishing a couple of hours after the Closer pair. "Yeah I'm rapt with that effort. As an added bonus I had 6 and a half hours away from Petey and Jarrod. Petey is hard enough to handle without having Jarrod around as well."
Almost lost in the crowd of millions, Mandy1 had an awesome day of watching 3500 bike riders go past for 5 hours. "I hate bikes."
Indeed it was a great day for all the fans of the Closer Racing Team, Petey and Jarrod in lycra and hours of entertainment at the good time capital of Torquay.
Scotty gets a new steed
Scotty has found a novel way of upgrading his bike every year. Get it stolen. More accurately, leave it in your car in a dodgy suburb for days on end and talk about how expensive it is in front of Junkie's as they walk by. Scotty may as well put a sign up advertising the bike for the locals. In any case he is now the proud owner of a brand new Scott (that's the brand.. he didn't write his name on it) Scale 35. For any interested Junkie the bike can be seen in the back of Scotty's car in any crap suburb near you. It's worth a least a few good nights out... or afternoon's for the harder sorts.
