UCI-geelong

[elmaso]

if you's arent aware the uci is some bike race, thats in geelong for the week, now this is sorta getting to me, they've blocked off half of geelong, its giving me the shiits, if you want to go to ocean grove or something you have to take some big and completely ridicules route to get there, and all i can hear right now is the sound he helicopters overhead filiming this bullshiit race. any other members from geelong that hate this?

wah wah wah. It is making BUCKETLOADS of money to local business. I know a few photographers all booked as media crew, motels are packed, local cafes are doing cracking business.

Great event for geelong and was just down there earlier.

Lookign forward to Sundays race!!!

i had the race on all day today on the tv, i'd be travelling down there to watch on the weekend if it wasnt already full up.

some bike race eh? its a bit more than 'some' bike race.

half the shops around geelong have shut shop for the week, not to mention even tradies have taken the week off cause they cant get to job sites without a 2 hour delay

but meh doesnt bother me, i get to work and home the same, plus work is dead at the moment so gives me abit of time to catch up on other work.

I know tell me about it; as much as I miss it, I am glad I left the town that is opposed to everything good for it...

Governments crawl up the arse of big business, the small fella can like it or lump it...

its just pointless blocking off the roads so they can ride on them
