Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Camilla

I told them that he couldn't have done it without the help of an Aussie!

Camilla

I'm sitting in a bar on the beach on Thassos, surrounded by some very happy Brits who are mocking me on behalf of the Lions, watching La Tour! Bring on the Pyranees! I'm trying to educate the drunken poms about the joys of cycling, and convince them if they really want to see hard men then to look a...

Camilla

Meanwhile I'm having to follow the TdF via SBS Tour Tracker. The Greek Government has pulled the National Broadcasting Agency! No news or culture in times of economic crises it seems. Or sport!

Camilla

Are we really doing this? Or is it just a giant ruse to have me waiting at the cafe with icicles on my eyelashes in the dark - some sort of "gotcha" moment? * I'm sure they're going to pop out from behind the planter boxes and give us a hot chocolate Andrew, and tell us to go back to bed. ...

Camilla

Come on Dulwich Hill!

And no comments from you Trouty! NO COMMENTS!

Camilla

1. Mike (might ride his fixie) 2. Todd (dont own a fixie and have no intention of purchasing one in the future!!) 3. Stuart (will miss Bundeena & the ferry - so basically a RNP loop for anyone interested) 4. Philip. May or may not do Bundeena but will roll out with you guys. 5. JoTheBuilder (now...

Camilla

Why is the monkey holding a salt grinder between his back legs?

Camilla

I haven't laughed that hard since reading the 1978 Women's Weekly recipe cards! I almost feel compelled to come ride RAW next Friday, to earn 10 point for the club - my once chance before leaving the country for 4 months. On the other hand, it would be quite something to see Lidcome beat DHBC in the...

Camilla

A great read James & Tom! Sounds like a lot of fun. And that you're all learning heaps (Dads included).

Camilla

Not sure about the rest of the world, but I'm going to sit here for the rest of the day and watch this gif!

Camilla

yeah Stuart! What Philip said!

I've never claimed to be a morning person.

Camilla

I was thinking CRAZY PEOPLE! But then, at La Pa this morning gazing at the sunset, remembered that my very first ever ride with the club was on the winter solstice. So I'd better come along and celebrate my 6th anniversary! I'll be wanting cake. Maybe candles. 1. Jothebuilder 2. Peter Bownes 3. Marc...

Camilla

Oops. Forgot to go to bed at a decent hour last night.

Camilla

Had a feast of my own a few days back: Adrian followed by Michelle B jogging and Trevor Dean of Science (once I hit uni), all within 4 mins. Made me feel like I lived in my own little country town called Sydney. In all reality, I see Adrian out and about more often than not. Perhaps he's worthy of h...

Camilla

I'm a very possible maybe.

Camilla

Let Sasha know that I'm there in spirit! I suspect I won't be able to make it in body though, due to a conflicting farewell party elsewhere.

Camilla

My nephew's kindy is making a bike dome! They're looking for old bike rims, and thought I might be able to help. Anyone need to clear some space in their shed? If you've got some old road/track rims you want to get rid of please post below and I'll organize to gather them. http://www.rootsimple.com/...

Why am i so bad at these lists!!! I did also set my alarm for 5.15 PM, rather than AM, today. Fail.

Anyone know how the points work by the way. You obviously get one for showing up, but beyond that?

Camilla

Yay Pia! That's fantastic!

4th of May, hey. I can actually make it then. Oh well, may as well continue the humiliation!

BTW Pia, I've been meaning to say that you can borrow my tri bars if you like.

I'm seriously tempted. Did the 100 a few years back and really enjoyed it.

Camilla

For the record, I'd love to come with you. I've been wanting to do the Oaks trail for yonks. And the 7am start is heavenly. But I have an immovable prior engagement.

Camilla

Put me on the list for anything. And thanks for doing such a great job of keeping us all informed.

Camilla

Mine won't get mixed up with my other medals either, given that I put my transponder on Ted's bike!

I think you may have mentioned that you had a UCI medal before Eleri, in passing.

Camilla

Camilla

Ugliest medallion ever! I almost regret the third ascent.

Camilla

Oh fine. I'll put it in my diary.

Camilla

Someone remind me about this when it gets closer to the date...

Great news! Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed just in case it helps.

We get a special one-time-only medallion for climbing Buffalo 3 times, in recognition of our crazy!

Perhaps sadly, the thought of this was a huge incentive on that last go around. The first 2 times were pleasant, the 3rd TOUGH!

Camilla

Sorry (especially to Anthony), but I'm out. Double booked. I'm going time trialling at Calga instead. I thought the TT was on Saturday so mistakenly thought I'd be able to do both. Enjoy!

Camilla

I might be interested - I'd like to do the 135 but at a 28 pace. More realistic. Although all the cool kids seem to be doing the 65! And Dayna knows where the pubs are...

Camilla

Oh! Ride of the dammed was cancelled! I feel much better now. Pulled out on Wednesday after talking to you. I'd have done this with you instead if I'd bothered to check the forum, but in fact I did it today (just one way). Ted and I caught the train home from Lindfield after visiting Ted's dad, via ...

Camilla

The Raid is sounding quite appealing at the moment! But stupid o'clock it is for me. FYI, I rode the rail trail from Wangaratta, not Albury. And it was indeed extremely pleasant. Just me and the cows. Take food if you're on the early train though! Absolutely nothing open for the first 70 km. Sad you...

Camilla

I was flaked out on the couch too. Did a 3 gorges today for my sins of not joining you yesterday Adrian!

Camilla

Just checked the trains. Am officially driving. Anyone want a lift?

Camilla

I checked the route and notice a number of possible short cuts, otherwise I'm not sure I'd be attempting it at the moment!

Camilla

the stats are all on the link Adrian put up.

I was thinking I'd catch the train, but haven't looked into times yet. If it's a problem I'll just drive (& have 1 spot in the car).

Camilla

Excellent work Scully!

I won't put my name down yet though. Depends how the "training" is coming along...suspect I'll have to do something more dire.

Camilla

That's three 4ths of a quorum then!

Camilla

They have HOTMIX going out to West Head. Sweet! But only Adam and I will know. The rest of you will be enjoying a decaf latte at Dee Why whilst you should really be fortifying yourselves with a concrete smoothie* * may change my mind and just come with you on the day, in accordance with peer pressure.

Camilla

People! So many emoticons! Such passion! So many opinions. I can't concentrate that long. Can someone tell me the plan in 5 dot points please? Each of 25 words or less. I'm with you in heart but "in training" for the ACE so probably will have to be faintly thoughtful about what I do that w...

Camilla

Oh, that's a shame Elwri. (I address you by your secret Rivendale name.) I was hoping you'd be up for it. Anyhoo, I'm sure Adrian and I will have fun. Have been hankering for Kangaroo Valley for a while now. One pass in a day would have done me, but what the hey. Am committed. Have been emailing wit...

Camilla

Me please! I'm not fit enough for it yet, but would hope to be by the 12th if I'm to be ready for the ACE.

Camilla

Top ride today. A really nice morning out. Good to finally get a few kilometers into the legs. Thanks for organizing Stuart - and sorry for accidentally attemping to drop you by abandoning you in the toilet at the servo!

Camilla · Re: Friday 28th RNP C28 pace ride 6:30am at MRC Ted and I are in.

Ted and I are in.

Camilla

I'm interested. Why can't we do West Head too though?!

Camilla

if it's a hot day I just might join you Colin!

Camilla

I'm in too. Love the Johnny Warren!

I'll be taking the train home from Kiama I guess. I'm certainly not keen to repeat the Albion Park episode!

Camilla

I too was sad not to be able to make it. Always a top day out, the adventure rides. And this one seemed a little more adventuresome than most! Glad to hear it wasn't worse Jeremy - I'd heard you'd had a fall from Eleri and at that stage they were still thinking broken bones. You should be right just...

Camilla

I might be out

Didn't get enough work done this week and can't afford a whole day off.

Camilla

I almost feel like I was there! A big call, after DG. Well done for making a show of it against that crew. A shame there weren't more ladies though. 6 is a pretty poor turn out. Only myself to blame though!

Glad to hear you kept the banana Eleri. Might come in handy one day.

Camilla

Hello? - results people! Or are you all out celebrating?

Camilla

Only just remembered this. But indeed I'm in the cave. Good luck tomorrow ladies and may it be sunny so that Jo can go out and play! Although we all know it's really the hill that scares her...

Camilla

195 views to find out where everyone was having dinner!? 196 now. I had to see what all the fuss was about.

Dang. I've got a friend's 40th the night before. But four horus sleep should be plenty yeah?

Camilla

I was totally going to fake an early flat and hang out in the grupetto too. We can watch Eleri take off in the break away then sit up!

Camilla

The 11.08 from Wolli is looking good to me too.

Camilla

Hmm. I'm female, have a gold race licence, bike and no money. Would be churlish not to enter!

Camilla

No worries Craig - I can entertain the gimp for you as well if needs be. Saves me booking my own.

Camilla

Sorted! Craig's had to withdraw so I've got his room. This'll be my first decent ride for ages so it may only be a half century for me, but the Bundanoon-Gong section is the best anyway. And I've got this weekend to train, so who knows. No breakfast for me thanks, and presumably Craig's got a place ...

Camilla

I offered to sleep on the couch in the communal room downstairs, but apparently that is frowned upon. Perhaps I'll just stay up all night and play snooker!

Camilla

I can make the Fixie Century! So excited!

Except ... the whole of Bundanoon is booked out. A conference. If anyone has a spare bed in their room or wants to withdraw, let me know!

Camilla

I'm in! 250 here I come again! Even if I did firmly decide, trembling around the 180 mark last time, that this was one ride I'd only EVER need do once to feel fulfilled, somehow rolling back into Bright another 70km on I found myself thinking how I'd improve on it next time round. So I'd better take...

Camilla

THE TRUCK!!!

Good grief!

And can I just add that Tim was on the blather going downhill too - at least he managed to have a chat to us girls, whilst whizzing past in the other direction, which I very much appreciated.

Camilla

Hi Simon. I won't book my accommodation until later. Not sure if I'll in fact make it or not yet. Nominal thesis due date on the 17th!

Camilla

2pm! No one mentioned that in general conversation. I'm out. For once they start a ride at a decent hour - and I can't make it! Have a 3.30pm plane to Melbourne.

Camilla

Get well Mike! Rug up and have some broth!

I wasn't going to be able to make it tomorrow anyhow - a looming deadline at work. But I'm out next week too as I'll be in Melbourne, delivering said loomer.

Camilla

France, Mike, FRANCE! And not just France, the Alps. I was sort of busy...

Camilla

Wow! That was me! Stuart & Michele were being GreenEdge groupies that day and obviously Jo was dressed to best attract Cadel. I wore my DHBC jersey, ironically telling Ted that that way he could spot me on tv!

Camilla

Hey! I saw that!

I blame my crappy Greek Sim card, which only worked randomly while in France, normally when everyone else was fast asleep at 4am. Not that I wanted to talk to you people anyway, being in France and all!

Camilla

I would like to participate in this event and need accomodation booked. (add yourself by copy and paste)

Camilla

Had a surprisingly rigorous ride with the Valley Wheelers this afternoon, plus things that should have got done today didn't. I'll set my alarm for n minus 7 mintes but could very easily turn it off in my sleep, so go forth without me if I do not show and enjoy yourselves.

Camilla

Sounds fun! Count me in.

Camilla

I thought all the jokes were hilarious, even the ones I didn't know I didn't get because I wasn't there.

Camilla

Ooh! Ooh! An Adventure Ride! Don't care what it is, I'm in. Might not do it on the fixie this time round though.

And if you're lucky Marian will come past with a lamington in the final kms.

Lindsay - perhaps we ought to go! I could probably be convinced.

Jealous. Want to come. Love the Mudgee Audax weekend. Dang! But "life" invades and I think I'd better just be there in spirit. 2013 will have to be my year of the wheel. Oh, and for all those worrying about transportation - Lindsay and I usually go up on Friday morning as far as Lithgow on...

Are people riding out from the cafe tomorrow? 6.20? Or do we aim to gather at the park at 7?

aaaaw cute x 2. Aoifa!

I ... ahem .... don't actually have a race licence at the moment. Otherwise i'd have offered to race Christian's bike for him. But I'll come down and help out nonetheless. I'm quite handy with the bell, if no-one's chatting to me at the crucial moment.

I think I've got a dinner on but if not I'll be there for sure! I'll let you know.

I'd be in if you do it again!

I'd LOVE to have done this but am going away tomorrow morning. Let me know for next time!!! I used to do a mean Time Warp on skates at Maxi's Roller-rink and still beat the boys to the last pollywaffle.

Aren't I delightful!

I think it just knows who you are Stretch. I got a message saying you'd renewed. Only newbies need select a club.
