O man what a fall!
During Oman I've fallen from about 13th to 115th on the overall and 1st to 13th on the Rest of World league. Though not without some cause.
There are some changes happening at work and I have been offered my same job in Perth (we are currently in Melbourne) during the last couple of weeks - lots of stress and not a lot of sleep, and then last week we went to Perth to check it out (schools and locations). Normally I have a routine of research and selection on the train (over 30 min each way). I can see how well I do without getting the chance to think about it.

How about just putting the 20mph limits in wherever there's been a traffic collision? That could change the nature of motorways though.

I live in Perth, got any questions ask me, for my contact details just add .com to my user name http://nickobec.com
If you want a 30 minute train ride each day, you will probably end up near a beach, north or south of the city. Note cycling infrastructure is better South but if you commute, you often get headwinds both directions.
Thank you for giving yourself a 400pt handicap, after the beating you gave me in the Vuelta & the SBS TDF game last year I might need it

Hey Nick,
I'll be in touch. I think I need to get some new habits as I'm hoping to be spending more time riding and less time on the train!

So you moving to WA then? nice work if you can get it, Love Freo
Probably. Just working through the details. It looks like a good time zone to watch the tdf.
Very good timezone to watch races, most coverage starts around 8 to 9pm and finishes around 11pm.
Unless you rely on "live" coverage on SBS TV outside le tour everything else is delayed 2 or 3 hours depending on time of the year
