The king tides had formed a sizable lake at the end of Coward St. I dug the hardcore, moses style, part the water approach some took, but I doubt it did the Ultegra much good.

Which reminds me, I must hose down the bike tonight.

I'm in, if I can get up. Expecting to meet another DHBC riding at Broadway.

Well done Lizanne and Ash!

Lizanne, can you pass on to Ash congratulations from everyone at Telstra Digital.

timothy_clifford

Can we have an option other than red? Only with DHBC being red, my football play in red, my college colour - red, lets just say I've got a lot of red shirts.

But there is little in the way of womans stuff. Shame.

Currently on 7432km. But given I've got a least another week of commuting, 1 or 2 Waterfall rides, plus an attempt at the Rapha Festive 500 , I should easily pass 8000km. So far, 2800km were ridden fixed. Not counted is a MTB tour of Koh Yao Noi (Little Long Island) off Phuket, Thailand. Longest rid...

I believe Burwood Cycleworld do bike fits regardless of where you bought the bike but I'm not sure how much they are.

$199 I believe.

Have had some trouble with a slight tear of the meniscus. This, I found out, was rather common amongst cyclists. I'm not sure my symptoms match yours (I have pain when riding, especially when the knee was under stress) but I'd recommend the same physio and chiro advice I was given. Stretch. A lot. S...

timothy_clifford

So wish I could do this. Good luck.

So the TdF organizer has announced that there'll be no official winners for those 7 LA years. Ouch! But can understand their predicament. Not sure if this has been posted, but it shows the Tours predicament quite well: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uu-4O4mLNm0/UDdzfMgSk2I/AAAAAAAADUc/9vEM96JpWg8/s1600/...

That was me you all passed on West Botany St this morning.
Oh, and good to know there is more to Kooragang than swamps, coal loaders, explosives and that lonely wind turbine.

timothy_clifford

Hopefully everyone made it through the Park all right this morning - Police fear oil deliberately spilt onto the road causing 3 cars to crash (Saturday 20th Oct 2012)
Something to watch out for.

timothy_clifford

I'm going to try and make tomorrow's ride. If not I'll be kitted out for the breakfast at Hyde Park. See you all there.

timothy_clifford

How thick are they? They are most likely broken bristles off a street sweeper truck.

Oh, and for those who ask, Calder Park Raceway is just north-west of Melbourne

Strange with the Audi driver today. He'd be extremely foolish to put any photos/footage online, documenting him driving with a camera phone held out the window. It's 3 points for using a mobile while driving and another 3 for the protruding limb. And all to record us riding legally. Maybe he's a fa...

timothy_clifford

Congratulations to everyone on the C25s ride today. I tagged along on the fixie and had a great ride. Lots of opportunity to check out the new Baum. It was also really good to ride with new riders as it forces you to review your own bunch riding habits.

Just a friendly reminder that the Sydney Running Festival is on this weekend, and that Centennial Park roads will be closed as they are a beautiful part of the course.

I'll own up to having a set of each. The Cell bibs have a thicker, almost elastic material on the shorts, but the braces are light. The chamois is OK, the sizing is spot on for me. The T7 bibs have a lighter material on the shorts, but the braces are made of the same material. Sizing is good. I pref...

timothy_clifford

There are still times I struggle at middies, depending on who is riding, but it's usually always on the up slopes. The hills aren't a problem - I love setting the pace through Miranda and often try and jump over everyone at Loftus. But put a red light at the top of that hill and I'm lost trying to ...

timothy_clifford

Spotted Adrian, or a very good impersonator, Beaumont St. Hamilton on Sunday morning.

timothy_clifford

The main difference is how upslopes and accelerating out of the traffic lights are handled. This is what I struggle with the most after jumping from C28s to Middies. I often drop 3 or 4 places down the group while I slowly clip in. Its the main reason I haven't tried the Fasties more often. Any tips?

timothy_clifford

Or buy some tyre liners.

timothy_clifford

the biggest leap will be trying to move between 28's and Middies. As the Middies get fitter the gap gets bigger But the bigger bunch is easier to stay in touch with. The more riders, the more places to hide - or be hidden. I've been on middies rides were I've barely had a turn on the front. Easier ...

timothy_clifford

I had the same idea a few weeks ago - jumped around the middies on West Botany and tailed onto the 3 fasties. Took a turn the whole stretch of the Grand Pde before being dropped just before the Rocky Point Rd. Solo'd to Waterfall before meeting with a stray DHBC rider on the way back. Middies caught...

Is that an inspiring doco or horror film? Can't decide after seeing the trailer.

To have a chance of winning, competitors must be riding for 22 hours a day

Interesting you raise this. A couple of weekends ago I was discussing a similar topic with a Speech Pathologist friend.

Sent to me from a colleague this morning - the Middies bunch in some traffic.

timothy_clifford

Sky - what the hell are they going to do? Cavendish or Wiggens? Can they support a run at both the green and the yellow? Or will Cav pack it in after week and go for gold in London? A gold medal in rainbow would be something very special. Will BMC pull their stuff together? I think so. Will Frank pe...

Love to, but all my gear is still soaked from this morning.

Might settle for a sprint out to Kurnell if it warms up later in the day.

timothy_clifford

I bought one of these recently, and have found it a lot more comfortable than my original saddle. Paid the same price brand new, but it was one of those 48 hour special deals. $100 is a fair price. One word of not for anyone interested - my Arione has developed an annoying creak when I hit a big bum...

Was it the Adventure ride group I passed at around 6:10am this morning on the Princes Hwy just neat the Cook's River? I was in a yellow spray jacket, waved, someone saw me and gave me a "Who the hell?" look. Kudos all the same.

timothy_clifford

Dropped into the track on my way home and saw the juniors. Great stuff. Also saw Francis fall, I was actually talking to PeterT at the time. Full credit to Francis, he was back on the bike and ready for that TT lap.

I might have to bring the camera next time I visit, unless there are any objections?

Thanks Adrian.
That lastest entry on Roundabouts is quite timely as I was almost left hooked this morning. Need to be assertive with that centre line.

timothy_clifford

Had to duck back for a rain jacket before I'd even clipped in. Met the bunch at the cafe, set off with the Middies. Caught the Fast bunch at the lights onto the Prince's Hwy. Ducked off Bestic St Brighton-Le-Sands to dump the rain jacket (didn't think I'd need it again) and the front light. Proceede...

Two questions:
Is there a 'I would like to come and don't need accommodation' option?
What does one have to do to prove they are 'fit enough to complete the designated distance'?

timothy_clifford

heading down the Shimano MTB derailleur and 11-32 MTB (or SRAM road) cassette route

Well in that case I have a Shimano rapid rise derailleur and cassette hanging on a wall if you wanted to test it out

timothy_clifford

For a triple, you'll need a new left shifter and front derailleur. The rear shifter and derailleur should be fine.

I don't think the bottom bracket width matters much, but you can always check the specs on your frame - English thread is 68mm, Italian is 70mm.

timothy_clifford

Mr T! I really need to start paying more attention to who's showing up on a Sunday.

timothy_clifford

That's the one I'm trying to compare with, perhaps I could compare with the C28 one and make an adjustment. I know, I was being a smart arse. Did find another , but it looks like they were with you, and were using the iPhone app too. This is one looks like a C28 , but again it's with the iPhone app...

timothy_clifford

I've found 2 3 middies and a C28 but no C25's.

Of course there is always this one

I was probably going to do RNP if I could be bothered getting up.

Sorry, didn't make it. Spent too long enjoying a non-cycling morning.
