the 'drag down'

Is it going to be different this time daddy?

There are questions that need answers
From those who are in the know.
What rumours are in the mill,
traditions are our keepsake we'll have you know.

The GRS, 8 Mile and Giraffe's at 7am
Jim Murphy's (RIP), the princess castle, a healthy gulp of Sherry,
These are just the sort of things
That we all commit to memory.

The definition has been clear from that very fateful day
When Scotty Rocks could be heard calling, from back a fair way
This ride is a 'Shambles' you wanna hope I don't catch you back
cause I'm gonna rip off your fucking head and shit down your fucking neck.

From that day on it was known to everyone who dared to ride it
as the Shambles cause it had no route or order just a start point
Only one rule existed and this was known by all
Coffee shop by 10am, Cafe QUON was the call

The greatest Shambles of the year is clearly Xmas time,
Where members of the QUON are given a chance to shine.
Where nakedness is welcomed, hats off to Mrs Mongo,
 The beers do flow, the stories told, argh it doesn't seem that long ago.

Whether 'goon of fortune' in a backyard, where a QUON Euro got a bit messy
Or nude skids in Glebe Park, where Almighty was mighty impressive
It's short for some and long for others, with 7 to 7 'assisted' being allowed,
Whatever your slant the Xmas Shambles has always drawn a crowd.

Is it true that this could be the year to break some or all the above
With the youth policy in full swing, and Pysie at the Q club (#killinglife)
Are the organising youth taking the liberties they're not afforded?
Will this years Xmas Shambles be shot down or forever applauded.

I hope that they know what their doing, for this could go either way
The elders could call a nude vote and send them all on their way
The fair haired one, the ring leader, the one they all look up to
If he pulls this off he will be always known as the 'Shamblesguru'?

Good luck boys. Remember Daddy's watching.

One more sleep Wayneo...

Hey Wayneo...

For Sale

I have the below bicycle for sale, near new. I have been offered a sponsorship deal in a #bighitters team so will not be needing my old ride. This is a very fast bike that has done minimal kilometers and only clipped a pedal through a corner once. Will take $3500.00 ONO. If you are interested please contact me directly.

Regards

 

Is this really what the QUON has become?

When a group of young men got together in the change rooms of CGGS was this really what they invisiged the QUON would be? Is this what is was meant to be about? What would the orignal elders say about this caper?

Was it not bad enough that the man known within the QUON for his youth policy (and his lady bum) took it upon himself to take QUON riders across to what is now known as CultFit, but now it appears the Mongo Beast is determined to drive a wedge through this highly successful cycling team (Causeways Greatest) by inviting all and sundry down to the putrid shores of LBG to, of all things, Row Boats. Well this what we have to say to you Mongo.

Row Row Row your boat
on your f#@!ing own.
What makes you think you can take
Big Undies & Skin and Bones?

On The Day of Love

Team QUON love to ride bikes.  On the day of love, Team QUON would love to spread that love to all our  brothers and sisters in the ACT cycling community.  Love to ride your bike every day, because you never know when something may take that love away from you!

The Double Clutch Gearbox

If you own one of these:

And if you have got one of these:

Just remember that YOU ARE STUFFED!

Is it Wayneo's year this year?

Every year for the last 8 years Wayneo has made the call. Can he finally deliver?

Great Work Pyesy

Big effort from Pyesy this last week. He has returned from starjumps to cycling just in time for the Amy Gillett "Share The Road" tour. Starting out from Adelaide on Monday he is due to ride in to Melbourne  this Sunday.

'Tis The Day Of Love

Let us not get caught up in the hustle & bustle of the silly season and forget the true meaning of a Wednesday during daylight savings.

For each Wednesday during this time is the Day Of Love

I love you all, even you Dominator

A Rolling Wheel Gathers no Mould

CrossFit is the HOT way to instant fitness.  It enhances physical competence across ten varied domains, working out all aspects of fitness, not just strength.  It is an amazing catalyst for setting and achieving new fitness goals.  In this modern, busy and fully engaged world, a 15min CrossFit workout can offer you more return than any other training investment.

The only problem with it is that Crit races go for longer than 15mins.

Stroke-Stroke-Stroke...........swim

Who cares about some attention seeking ginga.



Lets move to some of Team QUON's finest in action.
Apoliges for the required head tilt - We just were not expecting the result and had no intention of public viewing.

Stroke- stroke- stroke

We wish both the lads a speedy recovery form all diseases they are now infected with after the swim.

From Hero to Zero

Team QUON's newest QUON Rookie assulted the team with his dazzling display of foot movement and gansta style moves during his initiation. His domination of the Canberra Crits is a force to be reckoned with. There is even some talk within the elders that they are grooming him for potential QUON Master status in the future.

All of that was thrown out the window today with an official sighting of the once Greatest QUON Rookie Ever engaging in B grade criterium discussions and deal making with none other than Ollo.

It was not even the day of love. Dead to us.

 

Now that's a lot of sand!

 

Innovate Or Die

In an unprecedented move the "Ginga Policy" that was scraped by the innovative man formally known as Piece of (nee Jason), has now become a commercial vantage point.

Like Scientology, Rekorderlig appear to be targeting the most vulnerable individuals in society as part of an ongoing recruitment campaign.

Luckily for us its the DAY OF LOVE so this product can simply been seen as a light, fruity & refreshing beverage.

We Love Gingas.

nb This is in no way an advertisement for the new Orange and Ginger alcoholic cider available soon from Rekorderlig.

Keeping Canberra Safe

In recent news, the Canberra Government has unveiled new safety warning signs near the flags of Lake Burley Griffin. It was determined that the spot, commonly known as "Pysies Perch", was deemed upsafe after one of TQ's members (Brother Pysie) had his front wheel caught up in one of the planks and went over the bars whilst on IronMan training.
When asked about the signs witness Mark 'C'mon Get Up' Terracini said he was "happy it won't embarrass again". 

WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?

Gentlemen,

Long laps of the lake, fake tans and afternoons with lids off in Randy's parents' backyard. Not to mention this #YOLO bullsh!t.

Can I remind you that CRITS START NEXT WEEK, and in 2013 Team QUON will be contending the first ever clean edition of le Tour, according to Supernintendo Adrienne "rusty trombone" Craft.

The time has come, and I have spoken.

GQME

A Special Hello, for our favourite puppy

Loose lips sink ships

The California Roll

Good, isn't it?  Who wouldn't just want to go there?

Which was tougher?

Tough Mudder or Coolangatta Gold? You be the judge.

Gifted and talentless.

A quite drink at Knightys
To look for some Joycies

Oh Bruce Almighty, so fit and mighty
Just like a Joycie, all tight and mighty

The golden hour is on, its 11-1
We will not leave until its done

It's time for a dance, to have a chance
Let's go to the piano to take our chance

Rowl one rowl two, I've had a few
It's time to stay away from the disabled loo

Worlds colliding, Joycie seems to abiding
Where is Dom? It looks like he's hiding

Is he a prisoner or war, or as thin as a straw
Don't worry I'm sure he didn't drag down a whore

A whore you say, but I did not pay
Her name is Renee, I think she'll say

She had a #fitrig, just like b_rowl
But at least she was wearing more than a tea towel

I wore a dom, but did not come
I blame almighty that my form hasn't come

Oh TeamQUON, you are so much fun
Just like giving it in the bum

HOP one, HOP two, there have been a few
Oh so many who like to chew

No pingers you say, but I did not pay
Surely that counts for something in May

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue
I think she needs to do a poo in the disabled loo

Join me she says, we'll shelve a few
NO one will know except a few


Rowl xox

 

Lyrics of a Lyrical Genius

If you don’t know I was sent to thrill
Some have mentioned and said to chill
They don't know what my chillness is
So we’re left to just ride this CRIT
Take a look and see the blue armies forming
Hear the clicks as we’re rolling forward
Fight back and just ask for more blood
One turn on the front we won’t applaud ya’s 

I  step from above, burning my ginger skin in the sun
Dominant the streets in a way that it’s never been done
Who said CRITS meant to be fun?
Pray to the baby jesus cause he may save ya
Right now not even he can save ya
But at least you gonna meet your maker
Tell him that BTG said hi, I will see him  later

What if you rode for Team QUON, Team QUON?
What if you rode for Team QUON, Team QUON?
How would you feel to be on Team QUON, Team QUON?
What if I was on Team QUON, Team QUON?

You can go ahead and judge me but
You don’t know how good lycra feels
What it’s like to be wearing something is only acceptable in Bra-zil

Yo, I gotta get my CA  license to thrill
E grade is where I tightenmy skill

I spent the right time in the there
Then I left on my own free will
No more helmet cover for us
No bunch laws here gonna apply to us
Better be aware, semi-pro sportsman, coz a lot people will not get there
This is intimidation, right?
The BTG is who u facing
Gotta see there's $$$ to be made so it’s off to SFP, win win situation, QUONlo

What if you rode for Team QUON, Team QUON?
What if you rode for Team QUON, Team QUON?
How would you feel to be on Team QUON, Team QUON?
What if I was on Team QUON, Team QUON?

QUONner, yeah,yeah,yeah
QUONner, yeah,yeah, yeah

T-T-T-T-T -Team QUON, yeah,yeah

If you don’t know I was sent to thrill, know we sent thrill
Some have mentioned and said to chill,

If you don’t know I was sent to thrill, know we sent thrill
Some have mentioned and said to chill

#PermisiontoWOW

...ok BTG fans, the long anticipated wait is over.  Here's what you've all been waiting for:

How would you feel...

Congratulations

Team QUON would like to extend their congratulations to the brethren's fashion conscious couple on the arrival of their new baby. Its an exciting day to have another piece of Pye in the world.

This is a picture of Constable Adrienne Craft, on his most recent "deployment". Keep it up Adrienne.

RIP Mr Monaro

From all at Team QUON we would like to pass on our sincerest condolences to both the family and friends of Robbie Williams. To any of those who had met Robbie, you would know what a great loss he is. Vale Mr Monaro, you will be missed by many.

One thing is for sure, this stretch of road will never be as hard as it was when you turned up. In honor of Robbie, Team QUON will be holding a special HoT from the usual starting point this Friday. All are welcome.

Going, going, gone

Big Dog's bike will no longer be his once Bradley Wiggins crosses the finish line in Paris. The handover ceremony will be at Scotty's pub on Sunday 5th August.

Unless of course he backs out quicker than Michael Jackson when Macauley Culkins parents entered the room.

ATTENTION

We all know what dead wood looks like (see below if you don't).

The question is, what is GQME going to do about it?

Will the GQME save the QUON?

Defection

First Michael, now Bradley (or is it Julian)

GQME

There may be arguments about who was the GQRE, but one thing is for sure - Rock is #killingit so far as the new QM. However, if the Beagle was still a QUON Rookie the year this photo was taken, that stubby cooler wouldn't be empty... unlike that Warwick Capper look-a-like next to him dropping the ball. Unbelievable. 

Please help my find Vinny

Team QUON's Vinny was seen departing Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport circa October 2011 and has not been seen since.

There have been numerous sightings of the elusive Vinny, limited to playing cards at the Halverzone. More reliable sources suggest something similar a sad seen out of the film The Terminal, he is currently stuck somewhere between Australia and the US of A.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND VINNY

The Reign of TERRA is finally over (27 May 2010 – 23 May 2012).

What did TERRA stand for and how will he be remembered?

Will we remember TERRA for his Snot Bubbles & his love of Project Lactate?

Was TERRA’s 5 Point Plan and then 6 Point plan revolutionary?

Did Terra incite conflict amongst us or other political factions?

Will Terra become the QUONS symbol of revolutionary cause and strength?

Will Terra’s legacy be one of repression?

End of an era for the QUON?

There aren't many people who can tolerate the rubbish that the QUON regularly produces. Our loud swearing and obnoxious story telling wouldn't be accepted by many, but thank you Daryl for your support of Team QUON over the past few years. You will be missed.

This does however beg the question, where to now for Team QUON?

Soft Serve HoT

Gentlemen and Gentlemen with Mangina's,

There is only one HoT. It leaves the corner of Melrose and Hindmarsh Drive at about 6.00am every Friday after the old mans bunch rolls past.

Lately, there has been a second HoT bunch, commonly known as the 'Drop off and Swap Off' bunch. This is gay. Any QUONer found in this homosexual second bunch will then be named and shamed on the blog (if we had one).

HTFU, and have a dig with the boys up the front. Don't be a fag.

Much love as always,

A QUONcerned Team QUON

HoT(tm) X Friday

The HoT(tm) X buns have been baked, the coffee's ready. The Pebbles are excited!

See you all in the morning for one of the great TeamQUON traditions.

Wednesday World Champs

It appears that this mornings Wednesday World Champs may have been a little to hot for one potato. Not one but two blowouts was more than enough for the morning. That's racing!

IM MELBOURNE

('Almighty' pictured above right with an unhealthy child at the 2010 X'Mas Shambles)

Team QUON would like to wish all the best this weekend to Bruce 'Almighty' Norton at Ironman Melbourne. We'll all be here waiting for you with a beer (covered) when you get back.

gay sick...again

Guess who?
And they are not the music sensation from the 80’s pop and dance duo Milli Vanilli.
No biggie!
But the two Hubbard’s or Stooges from this morning’s peloton indiscretions,
caught hanging out stuffing their faces on food whilst typically making a nuisance of themselves in public, and working on their ‘pysie’ cheeks.
Commonly referred to as Ben the Builder and Uber.
Is this what we have become?
