Hello everyone going to Tassie. I am sure you will have a good time regardless of rain or being "underdone". Cycle touring is a lot of fun. I wish I am going. Idiot me said yes to a project that is impinging on my work-life balance. Enjoy and take lots of photos and post on the forum so I ...

Hi Jono
Good to have seen you although we were leaving to catch the train. See you on a ride during the festive season.

malee

Yes, it took us till 1pm to get there. We were doing well when I yelled out to Weiyun. We waited for the tandem at all the stops. So, with the waiting and the tyre fixing and brow mopping, we finally got to the brewery. Even the bartender asked me why I was in the last bunch as he had already had he...

hey guys it was the mist exciting ride i have ever had. it started withh a big bang. i was cruising down the hill in rnp. i was riding the back brakes a little then saw this large crowd being slowed by police. i had time to squeeze hard to slow to a stop then bang, it was my back tyre. thank goodnes...

Hey I like that idea Camilla. All the Normans, please come out and declare yourself as a team. We can then have team races at the omniums. Are there any Lees out there?

malee

Hey we have winners in our midst at the road race at Nowra today. D grade - 9 entries. The podium was dominated by DHBC riders. 1st - MarkL; 2nd GeoffM; 3rd MarkH; 4th GeoffS. E grade - 9 entries. The place holders : 1st Amy; 4th Camilla with Jo finishing very close behind. The wind was absolutely b...

Great Simon, I read the new thread. Sorry for not being at track tonight. I will be there for rollers tomorrow unless something goes wrong at work. The flow chart ( 1 only is really relevant)I have is from the ARC website so it is the most current one. It is easy to read. I am happy to compile the l...

malee

What is the best way of finding out who has a 1st aid certificate that is current? I can laminate the flow charts from the Australian Resuscitation Council and laminate them as visual aides. Simon, if you are at track on Wednesday or rollers on Thurs, may be we can have a look at the 1st aid box and...

malee

It would be great for a number of people to have 1st aid knowledge. Regular review of the material makes it stay in the memory. In terms of liability for 1st aiders, my understanding is that they will be covered by the "Good Samaritan Act". This means that anyone offering help at the scene...

malee

That sounds great. I had a go at Heffron the other day - not the racing but on the track. I really enjoyed it. I could not see myself racing as D grade seemed much too fast and thought I would need a F grade, bypassing E as that would also be too fast if there was one! So a DHBC slowies grade, whate...

malee

Great idea! It will surely be an inner west fashion item. It might even get into the Sunday papers - the section where they photograph people in interesting clothes. So, make it eye-catching!

malee

Geoff and I will take a double or a queen, does not matter.
Thanks

malee

Amy, Geoff and I heard only recently from Peter up the road that you have been hit. Very relieved that you are out of hospital. We will speak with you soon.

malee

Wow! Amazing. I am sure you will have a paparazzi wherever you go. See you in Tassie.

malee

What is wrong with them? They are no worse than mine. You have not seen me in mine but then again I have no intention for that to happen!

malee

Good one Mike. Thanks for the post Kevin.
Mike, we will ring and annoy you soon to see how you are doing. I hope you were not serious about taking the roller session on Thursday!

malee

Sorry to hear it happened last night. Sounds like Geoff and I had just left! We will be heading in there this evening. In terms of points: Mike got the flat - flat lungs so it should score big points for the competition. If someone rang me, I could have accompanied him into RPA and fix the flat myse...

It is an interesting site which has more than a few DHBC riders that participate.

malee

What would you like us to bring?

i'm building up a nice, light front wheel for Marian. American Classic Sprint 350 rim White Industries H2 hub weight today at 90 gms Sapim Race Spokes which are about 220gm including nipples for 32. It was either 32h now or a 6 week wait for the 24h I'll use velo plugs instead of rim tape. Should be...

We will be flying in to Launceston on the 13th of Feb. We were going to join up to watch the penny century and tour for following week. Has anyone given any thought as to where we will be going? The ride down looks great but we cant get that much time off and the distances in the hilly parts might b...

malee

Hi all

We have a spare ticket available as one of the friends we bought one for is no longer able to make it due to work commitments.
If you would like to take this off our hands for a price
please let me know.

Cheers

Marian and Geoff

malee

Hi Belinda,
now I know where the drum brake went that I supplied to Ashfield Cycles.

cheers

Geoff

malee

looks good to me.
If you avoid the hills the scenery isn't as good and there will be more headwinds.

Marian's comment "May the Force be with you!"

malee

Wow, that is a fantastic result. Well done! Would love to see some video clips. It is encouraging for newies like myself trying out track. I have just managed to get over the no brakes concept.

malee

we had a merry time there. Marian drove there and back so no worries about driving. There were around 25+ beers to try including Chimay and duvel. I would have been good to ride there but we went and did another ride on the tandem after the slowies ride to go into town so Marian could buy a couple o...

malee

Hi guys. great to have a couple of interested people. Geoff and I are actually doing it on the tandem tomorrow so we are not worried about the pace. BTW, we are always good to sit behind and draft off! We hope the weather is not as wet as today. Just so that nobody is confused, this is from Marian a...

malee

Who's up for a ride tomorrow to Waterfall.

We will be doing the ride to Waterfall tomorrow. Starting at normal time 630 at Mick Mazza's. Happy for all to join us. Cafe BoBo is open tomorrow.

malee

It was 2 years ago that we last did the ride which was the first year the Sea Cliff Bridge was used. Horrible weather from memory so the Five Islands Brewery made a great place to meet all our friends. We will be taking the train back as these days it's very bike friendly with a lot of organization ...

malee

all the best for the holiday.

expect to see some pictures of where you've been.

cheers
geoff

malee
