skin & bones - twittering at the 58km mark. Didn't he realise it was a race! Finished, but will carry the scars for life. STRONG
Greggo - too many donuts, too fat, shattered his rear axle. DNF
McDuff - stayed in bed and watched Pretty Woman DVD whilst snuggling. DNS
'house of' - 2 rides in 2 months, then attacks the hardest 100km ever with gusto. TUFF
patty - ignored officials when asked to pull out. They chased him on foot, and tackled him COPS style, and cable tied him to the 'coach of courage' for the 2 hour bus ride back to QUONlo. It would of been quicker if he rode. DNF
Simi - 0 from 15. another DNF in QUON colours. Was he worried the rain would make his hair frizzy. DNS.
G'String - brother of Big Undies got some runs on the board in his first official outing. IMPRESSIVE
Scottyrocks - put to bed the mud demons from 2003 and 2006 24hr races. He is now at peace with Huey, the God of Rain. JOYOUS

Road trip - firman style!!
Time to hit the weights boys, get the fake tan and coconut oil ready, mow the lawns and look after the kids.This years road trip to end all road trips will be run under the umbrella of the "Fireman's Code of Conduct", Section 11; sub section c) - Road Trips.
This will be the last road trip married men will be permitted to attend while still married, and the last road trip single men will attend as single men! Just as the old Chinese fireman proverb states..." no one parties like a fireman"

TQ Stands out at Giro d'Italia
Team QUON showed today that it can still have an effect on major races. Upon seeing the famed TQ logo on the outskirts of Utrecht, Rabobank's Rick Flens was so inspired it spurred him on to launch an audacious attempt at stealing the second stage of the first Grand Tour of the 2010 season.
Whilst pleased with his brief moment out the front, Flens whinged and whined to Team QUON that he wasn't happy that Tyler Farrar was allowed to burgle the stage like he did. "I know for a fact he rode really well at the Tour of Bright last year. It's just disappointing when you put in so much hard work, and you see it all disappear because a guy hasn't been graded properly."

One way to win a Canberra Tour...
QUONNERS TAKE HEED:
We now know how to win the Canberra Tour!
We now know how to win the Canberra Tour!
Is it the person with the best coach? The person who trains the hardest? The person who is naturally good at climbing?
All wrong.
To win the Canberra Tour one must come up with the best excuses!
“No I can’t ride in my usual grade – put me down two grades to E because I have had a kid”
“No I disagree with your decision to put me in my normal grade, I am 5-7 kg heavier than last year.”
“No please put me back in E grade, I am less fit than this time last year and the Canberra Tour is a climber’s race and I’m not a climber.”
“I feel that E grade is the right grade for me and I am not attempting to burgle. I came 31st out of 51 last year in D1”.
All of the above are great lines to use to hoodwink your way into a lower grade.
QUONNERS TAKE NOTE THOUGH:
Try not to do what less intelligent riders do when they are pulling the wool over the eyes of the race officials.
Such acts of stupidity include winning stages and finishing 2nd overall behind your team mate after using some of the above excuses. This is a poor way to repay the race organisers who yielded to your pathetic whining and let you ride two grades lower than you should have.
Volunteers generally do not love to field a barrage of complaints from the other unfortunate genuine E grade competitors who have had to put up with the most blatant act of burglary in recent Canberra Tour history. This is a big mistake to make and will ruin your future riding career in lower grades. This is a great alternate way though to fistf@*k an official.
So now that we know the ins and outs of how to win a Canberra Tour by utilising sooking, whinging and lame excuses, we should reflect on the following picture to inspire us in our approach to next years race:
Good luck to all next years burglars!

FOUND - WHITE SPORTS SOCKS, MENS LARGE SIZE, HEAVILY SOILED
The ACT Parks & Wildlife Service has discovered a pair of mens sports socks (large) in bushland near Condor Creek, a source has told Team QUON.According the ACT Parks & Wildlife Service representative, who asked not to be named, the socks appear to have been recently deposited next to a large steaming mass of nard, and have an unmistakeable odour of Beef Vindaloo. It is clear that the socks were one day virgin white, but now exhibit a hue of brown only seen within your toilet bowl.
Anyone missing a pair of socks is asked to contact ACT Parks & Wildlife Service.
