Very disappointing photography here Philip. Lifeless lighting, dead composition, where is all the colour and movement? Not your best work. Mea culpa, i'll try harder next time...

Two pairs of size 48 Shimano mountain bike shoes. Free to good home... or bad home, I'm not really fussed.
One pair has cleats.

Hi Greg, I'm the one you gave your stationary trainer to. I was going to use it for some photos I had planed. They still haven't happened and may well never happen. If you want it back let me know and I can drop it off to you next week, or whenever suits. Great to hear you're recovering. Cheers Phil...

Excellent ride Mike, thanks for the help. That guy's heart rate is amazing!

Not this little duck, I'll be sailing. Enjoy!

Philip

Hi Mike, I'm keen to do a Kurnell training session on Sunday. If there is not enough starters then I'll just carry on to Waterfall as usual.
See you on Sunday morning at the cafe, or not, as the case may be.

Philip

Preliminary results are up. Andrew, you beat me by 42 seconds! Doh, Doh, Doh!
Amazingly close considering we didn't ride together at any point.

I'm also tempted and also 52. So if some one finds themselves in need of some old legs let me know. Keeping in mind I have a deficit in the race experience dept.

Philip

Like Ben I love this ride. Last year's event was my first crack at an imperial century, which is why I carried on up Rockley despite knowing I'd have to turn around at the top, I got my 160 though. Being a different distance this year it makes comparisons hard, I can only say the hills seemed much e...

well, ya know what ya gotta do...

Indeed I do... hang up my shoes, retire to the couch and bore the grandchildren with tales of the glory days, while drinking beer and getting fat.

Results. I made it under 12 minutes... Just! A good day!

Congratulations to everyone.

Philip

I just have this persisting mental picture of "junior bike" based on height rather than age.

does that make our esteemed leader a junior?

Philip

The Hill Climb start times are up.
http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/default.asp?Page=49951

I've got exactly 53 minutes to get up and off the hill before the shooting starts. It's what the country folk call "motivation".

Philip

If you're talking you're not working hard enough!

Philip

Stravagation: the technique of navigating a route between any two points with the aim of maximising the number of achievable segments ridden. A highly skilled Stravagator also takes into account the prevailing wind in order to enhance KOM/QOM possibilities.

Philip

...yes, and if we know what's good for us we'll let him win.

Philip

We had a deal, they carried me all the way to Kurnell, I made them look like Gods.

Philip

Tempting offer but I don't think I could manage a leave pass for a whole Sunday. I look forward to seeing the segment on strava though. I managed to find it on Garmin but not Strava. Every variation of the panorama circuit you can imagine but not the actual hill climb route. I wonder how many of the...

Philip

Great ride guys, you were really hammering the pace, my legs were burning all the way there. This was the reward. Got to the headland just as the sun peeked over the horizon. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8253/8622288041_c1c0339a20_c.jpg Hard Man's Salute to the Sun by Le Masurier , on Flickr

I'm good for 6 as well. I have to be back in the Wood by 9.

Philip

Just a reminder, entries for the NSW Hill Climb Championships - Bathurst close this Sunday. I see a few of the young guns are doing it, any more old timers up for it? While sitting on the couch watching the rain I bit the bullet and entered. I feel I may regret my rashness. All cycling decisions mad...

What's Anna's event Philip?

not sure what it's called 20-20 or something like that. It's over the north side, a swim, a walk and a kayak.
Non of which she is prepared for.

Philip

Anna's long and unwavering support over the past 2 years of riding will this Sunday be paid back in the form of support crew duties for her own sporting endurance event. So I'll be a no show on the 7th. Will be keen on future dates though. I need to get over my dislike of the pace line. Good luck ou...

Philip

My first, so how does the handicapping work and who do I need to bribe?

You missed John, which makes 10, and 4 of us are old guys.

Is this a graded event, if so how do I get graded, as I've never raced before?

sounds cool. Is this the cafe you're talking about?
http://www.sublimepoint.com.au

What route were you thinking about, or more importantly where were you planing to climb up to the escarpment?

Thanks Marc. I have the full sized version if you do want to print it, with Bill's permission of course. Let me know. Good luck with the event, I'm sorry I can't make it.

Just having some fun with Bill's photo. Sorry Bill, I'm a compulsive fiddler.

Spotted this morning at Bourke St Bakery, John H (who, technically, spotted me) and Stuart (who didn't spot me). John sans cycle kit, Stuart in cycle kit. Both were looking like they were about to undertake some highly regimented and controlled carbo loading, which coincidentally was exactly what I ...

Having never worn any of the technical glasses mentioned above I really have no basis for comparison. With that disclaimer in mind, let me say, I love the Aviators.

Confirmed...
also, i'm happy to be dropped, so please feel free to gun it if you want. I'm all good to bring up the rear.
See you all at 6am

Philip

I upgraded to v3 and one of the tabs on the back of my 500 broke off. Coincidence? I think not.

I think that's a connection issue, definitely not a coincidence!

Philip

Big shame, I was looking forward to doing the full course this year, after the accident closure last year.

While the organizers have decided the merge point between the long and extreme to be dangerous and I can see how it could be. Personally I liked it, gave me a fresh batch of riders to draft.

Philip

My cat's name is mittens.

Mittens Mattes, quite a mouthful.

Philip

What, a republican admitting that excess CO2 in the atmosphere is a problem, and that it's a man made problem. Surely that alone is enough to get him kicked out of the party! .

Philip

I'm a strong maybe

Philip

That was the most polite and dare I say "Presidential" boast I've ever read. I'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

Congratulations, big, big congratulations!!! They need a new strava trophy, QOE - Queen of Endurance or perhaps Queen of Everything,

Philip

I've been riding with the middies for over a year and have tried to step up to the fasties on a few occasions... I got dropped. No big deal, getting dropped is fine as I like solo riding as much as I like the bunch riding. Now though, I don't need to step up to the fasties as I regularly get dropped...

Philip

Just like in the days of old, your steed has been re-shod by the modern day equivalent of the local blacksmith.

Looks good!

Philip

Great reports guys. (Dougie, do you sell your report writing skills, if so let me know. I'd love to commission you to write all my reports... happy to pay extra for works of fiction!) As a visual person, writing is not my my medium of choice so this will indeed be brief. Things I learnt while riding...

Philip

I can't even ride no hands on the rollers let alone dance while riding no hands. Truth is I can only just ride no hands on the road.

Philip

Absolute Gold!!

PS. cool pic James, you're a brave man, shooting while bunch riding!

Not quite Philip quality. (Did you post-produce that while you rode those lazy 100km home?)

Processed on my phone at jamberoo. Love the iPhone. I'll be selling my studio cameras soon.

Philip

Finally found a bell that fits my fat drop bars. Like Michael, I find it difficult knowing the best approach. I used the bell the other day and I seemed to give the walkers a huge fright, not the desired effect. Yet calling "rider" also sometimes gives alarm. My inclination if there is ple...

Wow. Nice dawn shot. I'm gunna use that on my facebook. Can I attribute the photographer?

Speak to my agent!

Can I please add my best wishes. So awful, I've been the first on the scene of another friends bad accident and it is deeply traumatic for all concerned. Hoping for a speedy recovery and my thoughts are especially with Greg's family.

Philip

Just today I remembered a nasty little climb. Especially when you're already struggling, as I was. Not at all convenient though. Catch a train to Stanwell park, then climb to the Princes Hwy. 5 km with a long and nasty beginning. Rather than the train you can add it to a waterfall ride. I'm mad enou...

Philip

any one done the Hill Climb on the day before the B2B. It's a Cycling Australia event.
http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/cy_nsw/ra ... /13076.htm
I'd love to know how far and how steep.
Cheers.

Philip

either side of the cooks river has some good hills, nothing really long but do some hill repeats on them and you'll certainly know about it. Here are some of my favourites, if you can call them that. http://app.strava.com/segments/1329622 http://app.strava.com/segments/951035 http://app.strava.com/s...

I'm definitely doing the 162. It's extreme because they said it is. It's sort of mostly flattish except for a big hill at the end that we didn't do last year because of a crash and we all got diverted around it. Eleri, after doing hill repeats on Mount Buffalo "Extreme" must take on a who...

Philip

It's a timed event but it's not a race, so ride it how you like. There are shorter routes as well.

I'm very lucky, my wife loves an excuse to get out of town for a weekend.

Philip

Just entered B2B again. It was my first 100 mile ride last year so I'm looking forward to having another crack at it.

Any one else?

Philip

I'll be riding back as far as my legs will carry me. So the Gong at least, hopefully further, but I'm probably dreaming.

Philip

I'm thinking I'll give the return leg a crack too. Crazy, but there is always the train if it gets to hard.

Philip

I was thinking about it, has any one done it before. If so what's it like?

Philip

6am as usual??

Philip

Give me some examples of what you want, but most likely I can shoot any thing you need. With the exception of social stuff, I lack all the social skills required for shooting functions.

Philip

Big kudos!! Really, really big!!!

Philip

I'm good to do the team head shots if you need. ;)

Philip

I'm in but I doubt I'll be up to your pace. I'm always happy to go solo if I get dropped, so all is good.

Marc, if you do join Strava, you can filter segments to just include DHBC members, which is a good way to compare yourself to people you know.

Philip

The first time I rode with the DHBC group I fell in love with the sound. I still love it new or old the sound is wonderful. Also love it when I'm occasionally stopped on a fast descent and bikes come past at speed, it oddly sounds so much louder than when you're on the bike.

Philip

Clever and neat. But remove the seatpost and the bike is no more. Need to use one of those security bolt for the seatpost collar. Then again, one still needs to carry a U-lock to be secure. The cable still wraps through the frame and also the wheel if you want it to, so removing the seat post would...

More thanks from me too. Great ride, a PR up artillery hill, so my day is made!

Philip

Good choice, my 5 year old has the Byk 350. She also loves it and just today clocked up her longest ride to date of 15km. She'll soon be waiting for me at the top of the hills.

Philip

Merry Christmas indeed!!

So any good cycling treats from Santa?

Philip

Also looks good but I may be stretching the family good will by then, I'll make a call closer to the day.

Philip

This looks good to me, excepting any unforeseen hangovers, I'll be there.

Philip

Announcements are being held off until the winner renegotiates his sponsorship deals.

Philip

Possibly. Are you riding there?

Philip

Agree with Marc, justified or not we have no need for agro cyclists on top of all the agro drivers.

Philip

scratch that question, I found the details.

Philip

Where and when does the MC ride start. I know it's posted here somewhere but it's hiding from me. I'm trying to angle for another leave pass, if successful I'll see you tomorrow.

Philip

The main benefit as I see it is the fact that strava gives me a great deal of shallow, vain, competitive pleasure. Which as a shallow, vain, and quietly competitive fella is great. So I'm happy to offer my 65 bucks as a token of thanks and support. Other than the above I also love the age filters, t...

Philip

Count me in if you need the numbers.

Philip

Um, 14,700 ish
Nearly double last year.

*censored*, no wonder I could never catch you. Well done! Or "Epic" in Strava speak.

Cool idea John, I too was averaging zero two years ago. Fat, Fifty and F*^#ed as the saying goes. So this year to date is; 6391 KM 72,500 vertical meters (love that number) 163 rides Which gives me an average ride distance of 39 km. Two years ago that would have been a maximum effort, now it's an av...
