birthday celebrations

Ok firstly thanx to all who have wished me a happy birthday today. Yes I am getting old at the age of 32. I share this birthday with another bloke who unfortunatley wont be celebrating anymore birthdays after his sudden and untimely death this year.... thoughts go out to crakers family.
Anyhow had a brillant birthday....low key was the plan. Had a decent sleep in and scored some cool gifts from the wife to go with the new 29er (arriving sometime soon!). Headed out for a bite of breaky at a local cafe and then hit the dirt for a single speed fix out at lysterfeild and then off to the movies to top it all off.
Great thing about lysterfeild is most of it is protected from the wind (110km an hour winds here in melburn yesterday) so it was warm in amoungst the trees....plenty of time working on them tan lines! Few trees down but thats cool as it adds to the fun of trails. Speaking of trails I see the trail smurfs have been at it cutting 2 sections of new trail. Should be good in a few weeks when the trails are cut in a bit more. Winter had a bit effect on some of the low lying areas resulting in some heavily rutted areas. Looking at the piles of rock and sand around the loop, there is soon to be some improvements made.
Novemeber is right on the door so it means one thing....Movember! thats right people I am loosing the chops for a month and getting some form of upper lip fix with a few of the lads from work..... it will be a sight to behold!
