Re: How often have you moved?
Not including small intertown moves (which would be abot 6-7) I've moved from country to country to country and back, 17 times. Some of those have been 'base my self here for a few mths' types of moves and some full blown.
Got another one on the horizon as well.

Re: How often have you moved?
Ah, not that exciting really , raced 1st cat in France in the summers, then would train in San Diego in the winters and do the early season stuff before going back to Europe.
After that raced a year in OZ then to the US full time, packed it in in '03 after an injury meant I couldn't train/ race properly.
Fun times and got to be great friends with a bunch of pros , Horner, Landis, Merkcx etc , etc.

I'm racing in the UK at the moment (Charlotteville Guildford) but I have to start as Cat 4 as BC won't recognise my C grade cat from Oz
I'm just a hack really though.I do some ironman stuff as well (slowly) and just did the Ronde de Vlaanderen sportive.
TTs are where it's at for me though, love 'em
Bad news in the Giro

Where in OZ ? I lived in and around Melbourne for a year - used to do the crazy Saturday " Hell ride" I think they called it out to the peninsula and back most Saturdays - did the Skilled Bay series one year too - great fun slapping around hearing old Phil Ligget comentating :-)

Been concentrating on Ironman a lot lately but starting to regain a more cycling focus this year (I keep blowing my calf out running so I'm resting it).
I'm in Surrey and love training around here, good roads and driver courtesy is light years ahead of Oz and very pleasant in comparison. I was looking at the Tour of Wessex as my folks live in Somerset but Mrs T has been in hospital so I've been looking after her, so just doing some local stuff at the moment.

Re: How often have you moved?
Wow, the Skilled Crit series is a big deal in Oz. I've never done the Hell Ride, heard about it though. In Sydney there is the Coluzzi ride which has a lot of ex pros in it. That ride is pretty hard. I was living in Sydney's lower nth shore and nthn beaches so raced for Manly Warringah CC. Also did the Calga TTs every month (ATTA). Done a bit of track racing. Wanted to get to to State Masters level at TTs but had a bad bad smash in 09 then once recovered I really just did some local racing and then moved to UK.
