Busted ducking across the road to the corner shop.

Cool. Do you guys just like to wear it around the house and chill?

Karzie

this is the plan. There is a Van being driven down which will be able to take bikes/bags. Simon is also taking a car which can also take bikes/bags. The number of people riding with Mike has been capped at 7 as their is still bus travel involved. If you want to get the train/bus your bike can go in...

Karzie

Toff hasn't had much luck communicating with Cityrail. He's onto it again as we speak, and will let us know how he goes in a short while.

Karzie

Does that mean you are not planning to stay at the hotel? or coming late?

No, I'm definitely coming. I may have to get divorced and find a new band... but i'm coming...

Going with Mikes group seems the best option at the moment. I just need to find another 85W to keep up.

Karzie

What time is departure sunday morning, Simon? I'm having trouble allocating two full days to this ride.

Karzie

Shouldn't the retro club also wear retro helmets

Apart from the fact that they don't meet the standards and are technically illegal, you would also need a retro haircut to match.

Maybe a 1984 mullet is illegal now too....

Karzie

They are called "pin spanners", there is one down at the track if you get stuck.

This is better. Much closer to you. No searching. You should see my 'workshop' at the moment.

Karzie

Careful, don't call them 'Campy' (even if they are, but don't know it).

Karzie

I used to have one. I'll have a look for it. Have you got an Ashtabula? Haven't seen one of them for years.

Karzie

Ummm.... They're like.... big piles of dirt, only much bigger...and rockier.

Karzie

God forbid.

It doesn't matter, I'm getting used to riding by myself on sundays. I invent a new way of getting dropped every week.

Karzie

I wore out the bottom bracket. It may have been loose for a thousand km or so

You can't replace it?

Karzie

A little bird has told me there's a prize for the winner of the junior exhibition race at this Saturday's Bike Week event at the Tempe Velodrome.

There will be an Ashfield Cycles voucher prize for First, Second and Third.

Karzie

I think the answer as to who was riding the penny was "Oh, we've got some clown to do it".

Karzie

Personally, I can't see how a little light-heartedness like this could be seen in a perjorative context but I guess it's up to the organisers...

Karzie

Can we have another monkey bike championship? Who's in?

What about Saturday at the Open Day?

Karzie

Gear inches are good because they're easy to calculate on the fly and everyone understands them. I don't understand why a different crank length would affect the calculation. One rotation is one rotation of either the crank or the wheel... Mechanical Advantage...well that's a different calculation e...

Karzie

Velofix is going to put on a 15 sprocket, so I'll be 40/15 (70").

40/15 is 72"

Karzie

Saw him too. But I said 'G'day mate'....

Karzie

Must've missed it. I was too busy guarding my loot from Orphic and trying not to get recognized in the video....

Karzie

I'm sure winged helmets are not UCI approved.
The lengths some people will go to gain a small advantage!

Karzie

Man up and ride your gear the whole ride

Oww!

Karzie

Mmmm sweet. I'll have 'em.

Karzie

Of course. If I don't get out to Eastern Creek, I'll see you at the coffee shop.

Karzie

Well I don't want to turn up on the day and discover the "cooking sausages" job is the only one on offer. I thought only men were supposed to operate the bbq machine.... Hey Eleri, just bring your track bike and have a race. We need lots of contenders or we'll all get tired out keeping th...

Here's the poster....

Karzie

It's Tempe in my opinion, but the track sure looks cleaner now. I think the giveaway is the touch football markings in the infield.

Maybe a voucher?

Karzie

I would like a prize for the juniors wheel race if you are offering?

Sure. Do I get to start the race?

Karzie

Nothing a bit of gaff tape can't fix...

Karzie

You might want to get that fork resprayed.

"Blue and Green should never be seen, without something inbetween...."

Karzie

If there was prize money and Crafty announced it at RAW, you'd probably get a few more takers...
I'd put $100 toward something like a team pursuit. If the win was $100 per rider, you'd get some clubbies along I reckon.

even if there were more head injuries, there would be less obesity and other health problems.

Does that mean not wearing a helmet will make you less fat?...

I was wondering why I couldn't get that last kilo off!

Buffoons.
He was doing the same to a guy at the track last week. Next race he had a different jersey on.

Karzie

I think what Karzie was saying about starting middies and fasties together is not a bad idea for the colder months, but does it solve the problem of to many middies riding in C28 group? or is it a problem we can live with ? The only way is to police the speed. If you force faster riders to slow dow...

Karzie

This line is telling for mine: "the interesting thing is that I haven't heard one complaint about the increased pace from the regular c28s because I think it's all working". What this says to me is that the "regular" C28's, those 70% who manage the increased pace, should all be ...

Karzie

The other side of it is that it's not the same every week. Some weeks it's just a bit over 28, others it's like 32. One of the issues has been numbers. Mid-winter we were getting maybe a dozen all up - c25, c28, middies (especially on a big race weekend) and it was better we all rode together. Numbe...

Karzie

I've been asking some of the middies why they're riding with us (C28s), and there are a number of reasons: 1. It's been bloody cold and they don't want to stand around waiting for another 10 - 15 mins. 2. They haven't ridden for some weeks and want to get back into it in a more civilized manner. 3. ...

Karzie

I got 30 and 97. You can come to my funeral.

Karzie

Alan Sumner's your man, I reckon.

Karzie

Can't make it unfortunately, but I would've loved to have done this. I detest that man.

Karzie

I've got the correct tool, it just doesn't want to come to the party

You're obviously not swearing hard enough.

Karzie

Is this 'art', Mike?

Karzie

Can we have some photos here please?

A tasteful shade of pink? I'm prepared to be surprised...

Karzie

That wasn't trolling. Your post above was a real troll. Legitimate technical comments don't equate with the gospel. Questioning and subsequent discussion is but a function of a forum. Guys! Peace and Love! But Weyun, you did have to edit my comment in order to be sarcastic. That's ok. Sometimes you...

Karzie

I also brake sometime on a fixie when I wouldn't on a freewheel, just because my legs are going around uncomfortably fast. As I'm a bit of a Woos, this probably leads to ridiculous amounts of wear!

Karzie

My calculations:
Tim Llewelyn average speed 33.6 km/h
Michael Clement average speed 36.9 km/h

Can someone else verify these calcs?

Karzie

Ummmm.... Jens Voight. He's as much of a hill-climber as I am!

Are we sure it's not stolen? It's remarkable that an individual should be able to sell such an icon.

Tour news update

Hit and Run incident at the tour!

That's very good T-Bone. I kept expecting them to say it was an Australian driver who got lost!

Thanks for the 'Sky' link too Timbo, wouldn't it be great to have a club bus like that. A whole new dimension to a supported ride!

The lotto guy did some helping him, he was on the front for bits of it. Yeah, staying in front of Contador on a big hill would take some doing! "Hang on Mate, I'll tow you up" Hahaha... Barring worse tragedies than a dropped chain, I suspect the final time trial will determine the outcome...

Stripes are ok, just not so many (how many are there exactly? I haven't got one to count) :( I would prefer ummm ... three stripes ?, not two. Two is twee... 8) But maybe another set would be ok. Have you got a picture of the RAW cap, to have a look? I liked the logo on the side too, rather than on ...

Just got home from holiday and there were three leftover pizzas in the fridge (the boarder's). I had to eat them. Sorry mate...

Karzie

However, I haven't heard the term Smugglette (or however it is spelt). To me the term Budgie Smugglers is generic and covers the type of swimwear. I suspect that again, the term pre-dates the brand. James I first heard the term being used on the eastern suburbs beaches about 15 years ago when I sti...

I saw a guy riding something very similar in Olympic Park on my way to work one morning. He didn't want to make conversation, so didn't find out it's provenance.

your co-hosts have resigned from the position of captains of the Adventure Training Ride, effective immeadiately.

Was it something we said?

Karzie

OK! Mark me down for ten points tomorrow night as I'm going to Mudgee. Easiest ten points I never earned!

Karzie

I broke a rib skiing by myself in NZ a couple of years ago. Every morning I had to get out of bed by rolling onto the floor and getting up on my hands and knees. It always felt much better by the time I hit the slopes again, but it seemed to take a bit of the fun out of it. It took a good couple of ...

Karzie

I wish I could wear a moustache

You have to ride a vintage bike, otherwise it's innapropriate.

I'm sure it'd look good on you, tho'...

Karzie

Ian's expression is priceless

Might be my next profile picture. "Tryhard at work" ....

How come those other two are so cool? I was busting a gut!

Karzie

Yeah, I've been totally sidelined with family issues. I didn't get a chance to get my team in at all or get my head around the details. I think i might need personal coaching now!

Karzie

That's a good story. It reminds me of a girlfriend i had once. Our dog went missing and she blamed me because I hadn't mended the fence. I went looking for it every chance I got, but couldn't find it. In the meantime our relationship deteriorated and then the girlfriend went missing. Some time later...

Well that's this week then!

Karzie

Hey Simon, I won two of my races. This may be the only chance I get!

Karzie

I'm in too. We'll find a motel.

Karzie

That's in Cuba. It's a bus, called a GuaGua (or a 'Camelo'), that's made out of 3 shipping containers and pulled by a Prime Mover. Everyone rides bikes!

Karzie

Well, first ride at Dunc Gray last night. What a blast. I'm was glad to be riding novices tho', Div 5 looked particularly fast! At last, something to do on Friday nights! 8) http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx52/icarswell/RAW/DSC02739.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx52/icarswell/RAW/DSC02...

Amazingly, someone has given the site a big makeover. Presumably not Sheldon Brown himself.

It's been great anyway, Simon. I really enjoyed the intro to racing. Thanks to everyone for their help. Now RAW has actually started, Monday night training would be good, 'cos I can't do wednesday nights.

• Novice riders are not eligible to ride the round 5 combines

Does anyone know what a 'round 5 combine' actually is?

Karzie

I'm going. I am going in as many of the 3 novice races I can squeeze in before I have to take my wife dancing.

Karzie

I'm thinking i'm likely too. I just have to get my weekend pass signed.

I'd like to do Mt Annan the weekend before too. Entries close for both next Sunday.

I think the Masters need to lift their game a bit. Message understood.

Quite so, Lindsay. I hadn't raced my Pinny for 16 years. It was sweet - and in such fine company.
