Are the graphs correct?, stage 4 is the exact copy of stage 3. Also stage 6 looks similar to stage 5.

Corrected now!

G

Not true - the gradients shown only go up to the max gradient of your route so if it had 10% or 12% in it, you'd see it.

Yup you are right Stuart. It adjusts all the scales to the min max of the route.

This is probably the largest ocean swim of the season, with more than 4000 swimers competed last year across 1km and 2km distances. If you enter by tomorrow, you save $10 on entry fee.

I have already registered.

G, I think it would make sense for you to go back to the original post and clarify your opening statement. As far as I can work out, Budgysmugger.com.au is just another online retailer selling $40-50 swim briefs. Updated the first post as per your suggestion. No one said budgysmuggler is a charity?...

G

The charity G mentioned is something that he and his friends support, not DHBC. Hope that clears things up.

Err.. yes. Toff is right. Sorry for the confusion.

G

The charity that team smuggler slipstream will support for their Sydney to Hobart ride has suggested us to get a video of the smuggler slipstream for press release. This can be critical for raising funds for the charity/cause. You can help by: 1) Bringing your car to drive the photographer so that t...

Budgy smugglers is offering discounted price of $30 for the Saturday's ride at centenial park. Anyone interested may PM me their size and colour/design choice by 5pm today 16/12/2009.

G

The climb out from the bottom of Waterfall hill to Stanwell Tops is around 6%. So it's hardly steep by common reference. 10+% is steep. I think the steepness scale on elevation chart peaks at 7%. So even if it is more than 7%, it will only show 7% colouration innit?! Hmm, well, I guess that hill at...

G

It seems that Stage 5 will be the longest day, and stage 8 will be the toughest with two long and steep (6% and 7% gradient) climbs! I bet Anthony is feeling happy reading this?!

Stage1: Sydney to Ulladulla (Ride day 25 Dec 2009) This is how it looks like. The final couple of k's is a descend. So expect a sprint finish.

Weiyun,
I didnt know where does the climb officially stop. I.e, at the waterfall sign or at the bridge? I think I clocked around 12min. Did anyone else time?

Our young cyclist Tomáš has won the heart of everyone in the club, and now he's on his way to rule the heart of rest of the Australians by riding le tour de Disneyland in an Australian classic wear: The Budgy Smugglers .

Alright, Tour in budgy smugglers it is. Can't decide which colour to do it in, Fabio (pink) or Red Herring I'm gonna have a look at a better saddle. Can we make next Saturday a budgy smuggler slowies?

Which Saturday? 12th (tomorrow) or 19th?

How to register for this challenge? The link shows blank page!

Yup Tim! I shared it because I know someone from the club was looking to get an aero helmet. The last time I went to a bike shop to buy an aero helmet, they were $400. So I came out with a cheap pink helmet instead. :? So, when I found this one for $69, I thought it is a pretty good deal. I have rea...

Anthony, I am doing the tour in budgy smugglers. I would highly recommend you to do it in budgy smugglers as well, otherwise, you will really regret on missing the fun.

Better you and not me.

Although I think this has started another baking urge. I might appear with cookies at training again soon

you can do it!

G

I think we should have it after every training night. After all, everyone has to have dinner anyway. It's better to have it with the family. DHBC family that is!

Thanks Jessica and anyone else involved in organising last night. It was fun and delicious

Vic, your bikkies were delicious

Well done on the five times bit, G. But you need to clarify a number of issues before your entitlement to the polkadot. 1) What did you mean by "Artillery Hill"? The real Artillery hill is to the south side of Audley weir and is 2.54km in length. If you did the hill on the north side of t...

I'm not at home tonight. Can you please bring it to tempe velodrome on Monday eve?

Why not do the Waterfall hill climb 5 times? There's less traffic than the main loop and I've had some close passes on that Artillery Hill climb.

'coz waterfall climb isnt artillery hill. Maybe you are too strong of a cyclist to notice the difference

Tomorrow (Saturday 5th Dec) I am going for RNP ride (Audley in) with a slight modification: I want to climb the artillary hill five times without a rest break. If anyone is keen for a ride tomorrow morning, then text me at 0425889220.

But, as of now, I don't even know whether the chain requries replacement or not or the cassette requires replacement as well. I am clueless how to investigate wot's wrong?!

G

G

Then your chain will be stretched, probably past 1%. So it looks like you will need a new chain at a minimum. If its not too far gone then your cassette should be ok.
