I guess I should do this too.....or Sergeant Major Stuart might shoot me (from Cuba)

Trouty

Stuart and I are out as he is off to Cuba tomorrow and we still have a bit to do, including unpacking from the Apline which still hasn't been completed. Have fun guys & gals.

Trouty

Camilla got separated from DHBC before Audley (as she was chatting to some riders at the back). Anyway she tells me she witnessed a pretty bad accident today as a truck went through a red light. She had to hang around to be a witness. It was also a bit hairy riding on my own from Waterfall, a ute wi...

Trouty

Hi Jo, I'll take them if still available.

Yep - no worries. I can get a hold of them Monday or Tuesday so I will work out how to get the cash off you before then. They are Lisa Benjamin's and they are in very good nick.

Trouty

I know some one who wants to sell some rollers. She bought them 6 months ago to take away to Portugal Masters as they were more portable than her existing ones, but didn't end up needing them. They are very much like mine for anyone who has seen mine, or like the link below. If you are interested - ...

Trouty

Hi All,

Does anyone have a set of rollers they want to sell?

Let me know directly - Andy Bateman (thefirstandy@yahoo.com)

Cheers

I know of some rollers for sale $100 - have barely been used. I will put up a new post if anyone is interested. Just waiting to get the photo.

Trouty

Well I'm definitely riding tomorrow but undecided on where so I will meet you guys at Mick Mazzas at 6.30 - and decide then. More than likely if I go with the RNP boys I will turn off at Waterfall. See you guys tomorrow morning - but the eastern suburbs ride sounds good too.

Trouty

Great Ride Report EMT. The elated expression on your face in the finishing photo is gold - you don't even looked tired. I guess endorphins must have kicked in by then! The Audax week turned out to be a fantastic week for all, whether you were a casual rider out for fun, an intermediate rider looking...

Trouty

Yeah Pete, Pity you and Michele couldn't make it. We have done some "not so hard core" cycling also. Plenty of rail trails and riding to cafes. See you back in Sydney

Trouty

This sounds awesome, how long did it take you to think all this up, in between training last night, working, and organising a wedding??? I always loved those Crits out at Dunc, I think we have so many riders now we could easily get an E & F grade - and it's great that the grades can work togethe...

YOu obviously re-met up with Lacey and c...

Trouty

Hoping to do my first Waterfall tomorrow. As I live near Dolls Point i'd like to pick you guys up on the way through if possible? What time would the medium paced group be going through just before Captain Cook bridge?? Hope this is OK and someone may be able to assist? Many thanks. Tomorrow won't ...

Trouty

Seems I need to look into this "elevations corrections" thingy! I bet that's the problem. Thanks Eleri.

Also Cam, make sure you reset the garmin after every ride so it doesn't take the readings and add it on for the next ride.

Trouty

Who ended up registering for this? and how yuz getting home?

A few of us have entered including Eleri, Camilla, Stu, Myself, Hung, Pete (3rd St). Some are riding home (Crazy people like Lacey and Amy), but I guess the majority will train it home.

Trouty

We got more than enough hills in, I was surprised to see that the total climb is greater than RNP but it didn't feel like it, although by the end I was more than done in. We all sat on the couch at breakfast looking slightly the worse for wear and a few of us were threatening to go to sleep right t...

Trouty

Picked up a few maybes at the cafe this morning. Hung, Mike, Danny, Ian- all possible starters.

I thought the start was 6am, so pleased to see it's 6.30

Awesome, the more the merrier. Be nice to do a ride and a swim before getting back to work. Hope to see you all there.

Trouty

Given I got the job by default of being Shaun Colley's PA (as he doesn't have internet) - he asked if I could put up a post for him now that his transfer to Randwick Botany has been finalised today. SO here it is verbatim: "Thanks to all the people I have come in contact with at Tempe. I have l...

Trouty

Ok. Another adhoc ride. Leaving Mick mazzas at 6 am going into Rnp at waterfall and returning at 10am. C28 pace.

Who's coming?

Stuart and I are in. We might even talk Eleri into it.

Trouty

So who is up for the ride on the 31st!! We will put a separate post up.

Trouty

I'm out, but if you text me when you get back, I'll come for a coffee

I'm pretty tired after tonights racing. This old ticker hasn't got even a slow ride in me at 6am. I will gladly have a sleep in. Have fun guys.

Trouty

I'm in - hope for good weather and a C28 pace!

If I don't feel too tired after tonight, I might come with you guys to Sutherland - all this rain and I'm missing getting on the roadie.

Trouty

A big Credit card bill!

Also Toff, was the guy in the red at the front in our grade? The guy who picked up first prize is the one just going to the line. If that is the case you in the red helmet are just behind him in 2nd unless there were other riders to the left or the rider in Blue on your left got you. This shot tells...

Compliments of Ernie Smith Photography

Trouty

I've entered all 5, but at this stage I will probably only do 3 due to some other commitments.

Trouty

What an attractive bunch we make! I especially like Warren's radioactive legs. Any wonder the DHBC household we aggressively Christmas-carolled along the way chose to ignore us, and their DHBC guests feigned ignorance as to our identities! Yep, Mr Bahumbug and I (in the company of Linda and Ian), a...

Race Report: I am guessing the relevant riders in their respective grades will put up their own report, but here is my version of D grade. E grade I have to mention, as of course my other half won. Woohoo Stuart. I believe Pete and Eleri did a bit of work to get him to the front. It was great to see...

Trouty

i'll be there to cheer on the team!

Hey Lizanne - you have a racing licence, and you will be there - may as well join in. Have to start some where.

Trouty

A lot of chasing has payed off for the boys who have earned their first ever silver medals at a state title

Awesome stuff. I knew my maddison Partner would get to the podium...and you too Simon.

Trouty

If you havent done the AUDAX before, I'd suggest up and down Macquarie pass a couple of times - that will give you an idea of the length and gradient of the climbs. Tawonga the second time (i.e heading back to Bright) is much harder - 1. becuase you would have also done Falls Creek and 2 the sun is...

Trouty

Gee G, you're not such a bad lookin bloke with all that fuzz gone.

Trouty

..I know why she is selling this bike, it refuses to ride in a straight line..

...That's classic !! Gold!! I'm still laughing.

Trouty

DHBC Assault sounds awesome, now all you need is a race plan. Who's leading out who, or will Pete and Eleri make the break away?

Trouty

Hahaha. I wondered why you did another lap. I was standing next to Lizanne and not only did she change the number, but she rang the bell as well. Who does two laps after the bell? I think there's a UCI rule about a rider being blind AND deaf!

Blind, deaf and dumb are more like it.

Trouty

Yeah Adz is a legend, worth bottling - I'm glad you got some good advice for the trip, it's a bit of an epic Journey planning on your own.

Oh well - back home tomorrow, we all have to come down to reality. Now you can be back to work and depressed like the rest of us.

Trouty

Hey Vic, small world. I was just talking to Adz at City Bike depot about his plans for Christmas and seeing his family at Rylestone. I then obviously said I know some one riding in that area now (yourself)...and it turns out Adz has kitted you out with the a heap of your stuff for your little tour. ...

Trouty

You guys are so hard core, you put me to shame. Stuart and I have done no training for hills so it looks like the Alpine will be more of a social ride for us, so I'm still looking forward to it. I'm signed for the 200km but I'm pretty sure I will only do the 130 or 140. Do I need compacts for this r...

Trouty

I totally put up the last lap! i even rang the bell to signal the last lap... if i did it wrong i blame Ian... and maybe the awesome beer! great night of racing. congrats to all the racers and bonus points to the bbq orgainizers!

Trouty

Awesome Micklan...you D grade. Must be pretty tough competition in that neck of the woods. Good stuff.

Trouty

In the interests of fairness, we should also post discounts we get at local bikeshops for being DHBC. For example, I can almost guarantee at least 10% discount if you tell Peter Bundy you are DHBC, and you can prove it. Probably more. When he get's back from his holiday I will confirm what you get....

Trouty

I don't think that any post on the forum, other than those obviously endorsed by the club committee and usually in the News & Announcements section (which has restricted access), could be thought of as representing the views of "the club". As for buying on-line - I do it for parts and...

Trouty

I don't really think the club should be endorsing purchases from online sites such as PBK, CRC etc etc. Just my personal opinion. The post was from Toff not DHBC, but I don't see an issue with it. We all try and buy things of the local bike shops when we can, but some things you just have to buy on...

Trouty

Very Nice Othy.

As it's carbon, if you need a torque wrench I have one you can borrow.

Trouty

I'm about the same height as you and Jo and I've got 165s on both my bikes. That's what Steve reckoned I needed.

So 165's would be the right size for Lizanne rather than the 175mms. Not many people would need to go as short as me as I've got extra short legs than normal people.

Trouty

I'm sure Steve Hogg will answer a basic question put to him in e-mail form without charging. I read it once, but I can't remember if it was on his website or in his newsletter. He won't enter into a dialogue, but he will send a reply with an answer. Save her the money and Steve's time, I know exact...

Trouty

I thought you already had a groupset, and just needed a bike. PBK does cheap groupsets. They currently have Centaur (better than Veloce) for $756.21 in both compact and normal. http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=X0160 Here's the catch. The shortest crank that Campagnolo currently makes is 1...

Trouty

I support this idea for the middies and fasties, as it encourages people to move up, where we have had major issues with people saying they arent fast enough for the next bunch, but they proceed to speed the slower bunch up to similar speed to the fasties etc any way. So from this side of it it wor...

Trouty

I don't mind the new scheme, but I think a definate break between Middies, Fasties is much better than letting them break off by natural attrition. This gets a bit dangerous and messy with the bigger bunches - a clean separation is safer. I also feel it is better for the Cafe to have the bunches arr...

Who is the new owner?

Trouty

Really your standard options are the Vittorias evo corsa cx or the Continental competitions. I'm not sure how successful those sealing canisters are, it problably depends a lot on the type of puncture. As Othy mentioned in the other thread anytime you ride on these wheel you will need the carbon br...

Trouty

Given my purchase of Zipps, I thought I'd better order some tyres from Wiggle incase these ones ever get a puncture. Does anyone have any suggestions of what is a good brand to buy? I would probably only use these for Road TT's and the front one for Track TT events. When I went to pick up the wheels...

Trouty

Next you'll need to rebuild the rear with a PowerTap hub!

Yes - it seems all the books and any one doing coaching or plans won't touch you without a power metre these days. Maybe in 5 years time they will make it cheap enough for the average rider to have one.

Trouty

Even with cross wind and handling challenges, there's still aero power advantages for the legs. Jo will be unbeatable now. I will be too scared to use these on the bike every day, possibly pull them out 4 times a year when I have an important event but that's about it. I have always wanted to know ...

Trouty

Big Stu gets another 2nd in the Vets E grade. He was also seen dawdling with the pack mid race, but some how managed to pull a 3rd in the sprint...Go figure. He was missing his lead outs Pete and Eleri this week.

We will take the zipps please, and we have pm'd you

Trouty

Yeah I was thinking that and I can't believe there would be 3k in prizes for all 3 of us.

Trouty

Oooh Dolan, nice!

I was pretty keen as it sounds like fun, but I have been off the bike for over a week now so pretty keen to get some km's in on the road/mountain bike ahead of a long race in a few weeks! Eeek.

What long race you doing?

Trouty

Sean also mentioned if any one wants to swap a track bike for a Roadie he would also be interested.

Trouty

Did Shaun buy a new bike??

Yep...he bought a 2nd hand carbon Dolan. You coming to the SPrint series on Sunday? It's good fun...I think I came 5th last or some thing last time, but you get 3 good races in and it's quite fun.
