Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Reminder to get your tickets now - before it's too late and we don't get enough food for you.

You all know this is the morning after the Christmas Party ...

Update - we were able to go on the shared path across the bridge on the way out. Traffic control let us turn right onto the Princes Highway at the normal spot. Went single file on the path and it was fine. On the way back the bridge was open for all traffic at 9:30 when we went through. Otherwise we...

A close read suggests we can go over the bridge on the footpath. I think that's our best option. This is what it says: * 10pm to 10am (Sun) - Full bridge closure, however pedestrian and cyclist access over the bridge will be maintained during this time. A shuttle bus will take NightRide passengers b...

Looking forward to hearing all about it!

You can borrow mine Bro.

The finer details are half-nutted and you can now buy tickets for the party. $10 for adults, $5 for juniors and it's at the Sydney Park Pavilion, next to the Alan Davidson Oval in Sydney Park (the place where they play cricket and AFL). 7pm Saturday 12th December. Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club Christmas...

I have to cancel, feeling aches and bruises developing from my fall today

Oh no! Hope you are OK. What happened?

That is awesome!

VERY keen to get to breakfast at that point!

Yes you definitely can use Opal.

Anyway, it's not going to rain.

Get wet.

My car can take 4 bikes on the roof* and possibly one in the back with the wheels off - depends how many people and bags are in the car. Some people will go up on the train so we can either take a bike and you can take a bag or a bag and you take your bike on the train. But there is a limit to how m...

I might come as far as Palm Beach.

Rival gangs! I love it.

I'm going to RNP at 6AM tomorrow - despite daylight saving.

2nd that. Although I had been fitted about 3 years ago, I got a stronger core and got stronger on the bike in the meantime. I was starting to feel lopsided on the bike and went to Velofix to get fitted again. Took a couple of hours, I've got a vid of before and after and the bike feels SO much bette...

That's good. Thanks BFV!

Will Levy - known to the club as the owner of Two Wheel Tours, organiser of the Awaba St Hillclimb that we kept winning and other stuff - is selling his Ute. It's been set up to take 7 bikes and that's pretty much what he's been using it for in Australia. I said I'd post it for him but please make y...

Michele and Pete said they are going and someone else I forget who. You'll be more than welcome and we will need lots of cheering in the Italian Pursuit.

Can't think of any road ones. Not sure about track but I don't think so unless Tom Bolton won something last year? That we have juniors competing at national level is fantastic and real credit for starting them of and nurturing their forays into cycling comes from Junior Track. And the willingness o...

You will be shocked how many people are milling around just there. They run up the road that you will want to take to North Sydney. And there will be people along side the start, ready to cheer on friends and family.

You could go the other way through Kirribilli and miss that.

Re: Sun Club Ride: Royal National Park (RNP) 6:00am I will do this.

I will do this.

Yep - we do all that, and more. But outdoors and with a helmet on because this is Australia.

And now for the list:

2. Eleri

That suggestion is worth investigating further. There's no really quiet route across edgeware rd down at that end.

Ahem - I'm using that route already with a bit of careful navigation of the last 20m before the turn.

Put a short contraflow lane or SUP on the northbound side of Edgware Road between Lord and Darley Streets. When we return from CP on Saturday Slowies we go over King St and down Lord Street but it's one-way so we can't return that way. My suggestion would create a parallel much safer route the other...

Addison Road - to get rid of the ridge (wheel trap) East bound - right on the line I want to take that gives me space from car doors and room for cars to pass.

Just sorting out a pre-1950 bike. Will I be allowed to start with only 1 brake?

Shouldn't the question be "Will I be able to stop?"

Someone can correct me but I thought Swisstop Green was for aluminium and Yellow for carbon? I've used both and the Green on my Pacenti's has been excellent. The Yellow on my carbons is average but then all braking on carbons is average. And in the wet is non existent. What she said is correct on a...

I've got Netflix btw.

A sports-romance! With track racing, road racing, crashes including people falling off a high bridge! Drama.

Might have to see this.

Thanks for a great ride Eleri, and for kindly not chicking me on the hill climb. And congrats to Mark Lacey who won the Merc for the weekend in the raffle! Simon Congratulations Mark! That was a nice looking car. You are going to have a lot of friends that weekend :-) And congratulations Simon for ...

I'll come to this! Train sounds like a good plan.

And Peter and James. Paul might share some of the peeps and or gear w you?

Berry Mountain - TTT Recovery Sunday 19 July 2015 Yes Amy - all good.

Yes Amy - all good.

My lil brother is looking to buy an entry level bike for his daughter / my niece.

She's 154cm tall and he reckons 51-52 top tube running maybe Shimano 105.

Anyone got something in the shed or looking for an excuse to trade up?

Ha ha ha - I had forgotten that!

Berry Mountain recovery

2. Peter B

On Sunday I won't be doing the Sassafras Challenge but I will be riding from Berry over Berry Mountain and then up a back road in Kangaroo Valley with a stop at the Pie Shop in there somewhere. If others would like to join me, I'll be leaving Berry at 10:30am and returning about 3pm. Should have us ...

Spotted Colin in an alarmingly bright kit with DHBC juniors chucking laps out at Rookwood.

Although you did win free car hire Eleri!

I did! Must get onto that too.

I'm going to this btw - failed to tell anyone. Have so far organised little. Must get onto it. But dinner at the pub sounds good.

Great. I'll email them to you.

I've got two spare tix to Bikes vs Cars at the Sydney Film Festival. It's on at 12:30pm Saturday 13th June.

Tix were $19.50 but happy to accept less, or even nothing.

The Crit has finished ended up in 18th place, 3 secs down on the winner Kimberely Wells with Jessica Mundy in 2nd and Ruth Corset 3rd - quality competition for sure! She was the first A-Grader over the line (not sure if there is an actual place for that or not). Avg speed 40.5 kph. In the GC Amy fin...

Update:

Amy rode the 9.9km TT this morning and placed 18th from a field of 73.

A top 20 result is a great result for Amy. She was the 2nd A Grader across the line and just 50 secs down on the winner, Tess Fabry who averaged 40.6kph.

The Crit is at 1:00pm.

You can follow the results of the race here during the day.

DHBC is well represented at the Battle on the Border with the Men’s NRS Team and Amy Vesty competing in Women’s A Grade which is joined with the Women’s NRS race. We never imagined we could win a race, or a stage at the NRS level. We don’t have the resources to run a fully-pro team nor do our riders...

I don't expect James F will pick this up anytime soon given he is racing in the NRS team at Battle of the Border for the next 4 days. I suggest you make your own representations to CNSW first.

Going to Signwave to get a quote on new race numbers. Sorry - no intrigue there!

Wasn't me sorry - haven't driven my car since Monday.

Please copy / paste this list with your order.

Cycling NSW posted on Facebook about 45 mins ago that there are 14 places are now available for late entrants. Get in quick!

Thanks for the report Bro! I'm disappointed you didn't sprint for 35th. I mean ...

Day 2 sounds horrible. Thank goodness you both survived.

Water got in my house because of the hail. Got that covered. More problematic water somehow got in my fixie. Coincidence? Probably - except there was weather involved somehow. I do know there is water inside it because when I get it off the rack it sloshes. How do I get the water out? And how do I s...

The real story is in the infield. We're looking at a bunch of kids, distraught in the middle because some mean old blokes have turned up and taken their bikes. The guy in white is a plain clothes cop and he's gunna bust them all.

I'm definitely out btw - enjoy yourselves!

Yeah - just don't leave cleat marks on the roof.

Test ride tomorrow morning with the laaaadies.

I may come but will decide tomorrow. If I do I will drive and can take other people as long as they are taller than me and can bikes on the car.

Interesting article on Training Peaks about hi-fat diets vs hi-carb diets for endurance riders.

It's also lacking an evidence base that it works. AFAIK none of the women who survived in previous camps actually made it.

Just so everyone knows what a casual paced ride looks like for the NRS, this will be about the same pace as Wednesday La Pa.

Sure - it doesn't relate to this forum but it's useful for people who may not know that Audax is part of Cycling Australia and that the same insurance and liability arrangements exist. Which may all be a moot point now that the insurance arrangements changed a couple of years ago. What I would expec...

Disclaimer: Please note that this is not a club-sanctioned ride

Actually it is - but the club is Audax which is also part of Cycling Australia.

And you usually can't just turn up. You need to register and pay online first. That said, the link didn't seem to be working for me.

There's other great pics going up on Facebook. Also some ride reports from: North Western Sydney CC (new in 2015) in great kit. Manly Warringah CC and from various people on BNA and from Velofix And positive comments on DHBC twitter feed from Chris Jory and others. Well done Race Director and everyo...

I am racing but will go in whatever team I get allocated to. We've got some blokes to beat after all. But I have got a TT bike - just saying'. Still can't climb though.

We will get there at 6am and will make a call then. I don't think Rookwood got hit with hail the way that Newtown / Erko did.

The Thursday club ride to the hills will change its start time to 5:30am (it was 5:40). This is to allow time for people to get to work on time and because just 10 minutes later there seems to be more traffic. The new start commences on 30 April. On that day some of you will have a choice of rides. ...

That fits nicely between the Rookwood Crit in the morning and the AGM at 3pm at the Velodrome! See you there.

Excellent time by Bill Bolton in the hill climb btw - the only sub 10 but Simon Berry and James Rogers not far behind.
Me - comprehensively last.

for next year it would look much nicer if everyone had the same number of letters in their name - so can we sort that out.

Mea culpa.

Or, put the times first and the names second? That would look neater.

One of DHBC favourite events is on 18 July 2015 - the NSW State Team Time Trial Championships and like the last couple of years it will be in Nowra. Last year we entered 11 teams. Now is the time to start sussing out a team and some have already assembled theirs. What you need for a team: - 4 people...

The results are up for the 110km and 70km event, crits and hillclimb and are all pulled out in the next few posts. Thanks Ratzzz! Would someone care to go through the times and pull out all the DHBC results? That would be super excellent. There were 30 DHBC members in the 110km and 11 in the 70km. A...

People who have told me they will volunteer are: Donna Bolton, Adam Farrar, me and definitely some other people I have forgotten told me. Because I didn't write it down. However we still want you!

Shoe covers. I'm not riding a TT bike up a steep hill.

You'll be more cold if you go in body paint - sniff, sniff indeed.

Is a bodypainted skinsuit UCI legal?

Does one generally wear a skin suit in a hill climb?

I'm taking everything I own. But I'll be riding that hill climb in as little as possible.

Because every kg I lose represents ~ 2% of my bodyweight so it counts.

I've booked!

If anyone is still looking for accommodation, I overbooked and have a spare room going in a motel. Let me know ASAP or I'll let it go.

It certainly was confusing then because I thought it was quite clear! They have also set up a dog of way to register. Hopefully they find something a bit simpler.

I'll join you if it's not raining.

It's important to know you can't just turn up anymore, you have to register ahead of time.

Guess I'll have to sign up for D-grade. Hadnt realised how exclusive this was!

Not exclusive but definitely popular! We've capped the numbers in each grade so we don't end up with too many riders and a consequent lack of safety.

I entered everything sort of on the spur of the moment.

Spotted on ABC Election coverage - Antony Green!

Yes. You did. Being on the same ride and all.

http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af284/Eleri_photos/Velofix-logo-onred_zps6wtvbswv.jpg The club is excited to announce a new sponsorship agreement with http://velofix.com.au Velofix in Rozelle that will benefit ordinary members as well as bring substantial support for the NRS Team and our sole w...

I've got even smaller bikes than Dougie ... Fancy a 47.5 top tube? With race wheels if you want to borrow them too.

Count me in.

These are the women we saw doing a photoshoot down at La Pa a couple of weeks ago.

T-shirt orders:

1. Dougie - small
2. Jo L - 10
3. James R - small
4. Eleri - 8

Well that was a lot of fun! Perfect weather and a nice atmosphere. I do like racing at Tempe. Thanks James! Thanks crew of volunteers and everyone who came down to watch or race.

Hope you're OK David! Unfortunately we've had a couple of members in this situation recently. I'll mention this post to them if I see them so they can shed some light on the matter. Eleri, something Jonathon might be able to help out with? Yes - you might want to contact another member Jonathan Coy...

Don't wait too long - it fills VERY quickly.

See Simon Bolton as you never have before, playing the bad guy in new Australian independent film All About E! The second and final showing as part of the Mardi Gras Film Festival, following the sold out premiere, is at 7pm this Wednesday 11 March at Event Cinemas in George Street. The film is then ...

And we've invited LACC and are going to invite Nowra CC to the April one. Plus run a women's race.
