All Cyclists other Best Friend...

In this case its not a Dog called Birillo...its Espresso. Despite drinking alot of the black gold i dont quite spend enough time at home drinking it, therefore a complete machine in my house would look beautiful yet most likely be redundant. In turn i bought one of these puppies on a recent trip to melbourne.

A Stainless Steel Bialetti Stovetop Espresso Maker:


Makes four cups of the finest. Quists on Lil Collins st in Melbourne provided my first bag of coffee. The ground is just a little bit finer than plunger, and opting for the stainless steel as opposed to the Aluminum version means i dont have to be so perfect when cleaning it out. Aluminum will apparently calicify without proper cleaning.

European Champs

Boonen ex world champ first time National champ. i think he was "gifted" it so that Belgium could put some pressure on Mr Prudhomme and the French.
Pippo Pozzato wins the Italian Jersey.... Just what is ego needs.

Tony Montana decided not to defend his Time Trialing capabilities at the Swiss Champs but none the less went on to win the road race anyway.

I think his bike could have ridden it self to a national champ title. Maybe hes trying to get out of the Time trialing limelight so he can turn up to the Tour and smash Monaco to bits on the first day....
