Geek mountain bike humour - 13:10
It was not a particularly funny joke to begin with, but I will share it
anyway. There is a tradition of Garden Gnomes appearing on pine forest single
track in Canberra where the 24 hour race is held. They used to be on Kowalski
and Son of Kowalski in Greenhills near Stromlo. More recently there have been
Gnomes and some other decorations track side at the Kowen 24 Hour course. When
Tony, Mikey and I were doing a lap the other day there were still some Gnomes
that had survived the 24 hour race out on the tracks.
However some of the Gnomes were broken a bit, probably having been hit by
riders a little bit off line as they went past. My suggestion as to the cause
of the broken Gnome was that someone had committed some bad untested code into
CVS.
