I wobbled down to work this moring and it was still -3deg. when I left home at 1000hrs. Frosty down here for about the last fortnight. Some road sections are frost, on frost, on frost which compounds into ice.
It rained for about quarter of an hour, the temperature went up and a combination of the rain and the raised temperature got rid of the surface ice which made riding very much easier. Still chilly, but safer. Cheers

It has its own ticket machine and gate etc. This was quite a welcome find because it was pissing with rain so it was nice to be able to get changed and go straight into the shop without getting soaked. I almost didn't get a photo because the nazi carpark attendant told me it was against copyright or some bullshit that he couldn't even ...

Thats the problem with living on a very small island, you become almost agrophobic about goin anywhere bigger. I'm looking forward to it though and i suppose i'll just figure it out when i get there.

I'll look into getting a bike when i get there too, any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

Hi, I'm back from Aussie. Catch my 12 day ride report on Trip Report thread. Cheers.

Not much happened this week, probably in part due to the weather. In fact if I didn't take the bike to work on Friday, it would have been the first week since I got back into biking (nearly 2 years) that I wouldn't have used the bike during the week...that was close! I guess that was also partly due to last Sundays magnificent ride and that satisfied feeling had lasted longer. The only excitement has been watching the first week of the Tour de France, which it's a pity about the timing, but I do ...

Formula SAE was developed in the United States of America in 1981 by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to be used as an educational tool to develop university engineering students' knowledge and skills. In 2000 the first Formula SAE competition was held in Australia. Since then the Australian event has grown to be contested by over 25 universities from Australia, America, Japan and Europe. Formula SAE events are also run in the UK and Japan.

The year long competition comprises ...
