RBCC are having a car with a flashing orange light following the bunch

Tempted. Will have to think about it, I've got an all day training course on Sunday

mikesbytes

102km! 4 laps!

Oh dear, looks like I might actually have to do some training

mikesbytes

Dunno, with jimmy whippet a non starter I may have to go it alone.... That's IF we are at the head of the race!!! With all those NRS fellows getting entry we could well be spat out the back by the 2nd lap :) If I'm with you, I can power over say the first 1/4 of the hill and then hitch a ride in th...

I think I've counted 15 Dhbc starters!

So who's going to lead you out for KOM?

IN!

what am I doing?

You welcome to suck my wheel like last year

mikesbytes

In at 9.10

mikesbytes

I've ridden it quite a few times in the past and I agree with you Greg. I guess the difference is speed, that being 20kph difference in speed limit

mikesbytes

Word on the street, which supposedly comes from the bunch (not verified) is that the driver was texting.

Easts have apparently banned Southern Cross Drive and will use Gardners, Canal, Princess instead

mikesbytes

Well the Aussie Track Champs didn't go that well for me. I had entered 2 events, the 2000mtr Individual Pursuit, which I was using as a forerunner to the event I was interested in, that being the Points race. Thursday Flew down on Thursday morning and cabbed it straight to the veldrome and assembled...

Dam Mondays cost me more than Fridays.

What was the courses like when you raced there?

mikesbytes

Dam I love the marulin drivers centre.

My mate from Waratah spotting me TT'ing in the pooring rain on the M7 but it wasn't me, so who was it?

mikesbytes

Lady's there was only 2 teams so if you had put a team together then you would of got a medal

mikesbytes

All the ones at the gyms are smooth

mikesbytes

Thanks Jo, can you send me Warren's contact details

mikesbytes

I've entered the Australian Masters Track Champs which means I'll be flying to/from Melbourne.

Can anyone lend me a bike box and or wheel box

mikesbytes

I'm not sure what specials are around but if your looking for something inbetween bottom price and off the planet prices then try Nalini or Castelli. I have both and find them every bit as good as the top end stuff

Jo: Males have stronger upper bodies than females. A male upper body strength is 80% of his lower body, where a females upper body strength is 60% of her lower body.

I have commuted with laptops for donkey years and only destroyed 2 in the process. One got wet and the other one fell out of my bag when I took my bag off my back. My policies for carrying a laptop are; 1. the hard drive must have anti shock protection 2. it is only carried on my back, ie no pannier...

mikesbytes

I've had to withdraw from the individual events due to the flu. I might of been the only club member entered, don't know. If that's the case then DHBC is only represented in the team pursuit

mikesbytes

Received a nice friendly hello from Adam this morning

mikesbytes

Glad to hear the Lady has avoided broken bones The water acts as a lubricant allowing small sharp objects to more easily slide into the rubber outer shell of your tyre. The water also moves the objects around on the road meaning you encounter more small sharp objects when riding in the wet. BTW my p...

Entries close tonight for all events

Under these circumstances Chidgey has the best job

Providing the bus's only use that road in one direction, I really don't see a problem with making the road oneway

Thought I'd return to writing up my races I signed up for the endurance competition, which consisted of Individual Pursuit, Points Race and Scratch Race. Also a wheel race. Individual Pursuit 2,300mtr - 5 laps Before leaving home I modified my TT setup to get the elbow pads lower, which I did but at...

I think Mark L looked at this one and decided to buy a thule. Ask Mark

Interesting conditions on Sunday, those who got away early had perfect weather for it. Paul, Jonathan and I left much later, by which time the wind had picked up quite a bit. I found myself being knocked around, I wouldn't of liked to use those wheels in a mass start race. Paul and I logged times th...

You might be right about the slight aero loss but in my case the drag of my svelte physique is more of a penalty

Bro rode D grade and showed he had some good speed. Had Crafty to race. John was in C grade and walked away with $20 for 3rd for the evening?, which paid for the sausage rolls.

OK ride cancelled. I'll look for another date

mikesbytes

Looks like there's no interest for tomorrow. Let me know if your interest or I'll look for another date

mikesbytes

Good to see the correct bike speak is being used by the DHBC'ers "The Corkscrew". It was most annoying that they were calling it "Corkscrew rd" on TV, even Anthony Tam. They even displayed Corkscrew rd street sign.

A bit like not knowing what N+1 means

mikesbytes

Do we get a rain check?

mikesbytes

What day of the week, start time?

mikesbytes

Greg, you forgot to mention that beards are mandatory

The Early Eastie ride has been popular in previous years, a different route to the mid week rides, it takes us to the CBD then counter clockwise thru the eastern suburbs finishing with a bit of fun in container terminal road (not its real name).

Welcome to the 2014 DHBC Adventure Rides This year we have a team putting their heads together and they have come up with some interesting ideas, which we will combine with some of the classic's of past years Most of these rides, while not quick (C25+) are quite long. Riders must of completed 3 rid...

mikesbytes

A couple of thoughts on this; 1. I'm not aware of any other club rider for any local club being in the same situation as Greg, so I question the probability of needing it for rehab 2. Keeping it depends on a suitable location to store, if this is not resolved, then keeping it is not an option 3. How...

mikesbytes

Perhaps the concept works similar to Q rings

Hi Camille,

We will be conducting some Adventure rides, which pretty much fit the description of what you are looking for. Keep an eye on the forum

mikesbytes

Interested to hear any thoughts? I'm sure it wouldn't make much of a difference to me + I use speed play

The video showed a 1/2 lap improvement over 10 laps on Wollongong's velodrome, which is 5% by my maths. A big claim

I'll have them. I was about to buy some to replace my existing ones that are on death row

Hi Mike, tempting but I'll not have my bike with me, and the family would kill me if I took off during "family" time. I'll just have to train hard when I get back. I'm only away for a week so I should be still in form for the alpine classic. Well as close to form as I'm likely to get. Hav...

Strawburger, the lowest grade you want to go is B.

In B I suspect you will attack on the hill. In A you will be hanging on.

If the course was flat like wagga Crit, then B would be roughly your Crit and A would be roughly my Crit however I haven't ridden Waratah at Landsdowne

mikesbytes

Weiyun, I looked out for Mike when rolling through Tempe with Joe a few minutes after 6, but missed seeing anyone - probably too busy dodging the traffic at that stage.

Missed the main bunch of DHBC'ers while setting up

I have ridden on quite a lot of different rollers. While I don't have a recommendation I didn't like any of the ones with small diameter rollers or the ones with tapered ends. I haven't ridden every brand/model so its not to say that ones within those specs don't exist that are good. When I get arou...

They are getting closer to the minimum number of riders

Probably their biggest threat is the division in the cycling community over mandatory helmet laws

mikesbytes

This years race has a different format. B and C grade will race together but have separate results. There's 55 riders in B grade and 119 riders in C grade. So allowing for some DNS's we are looking at 150 - 160 riders in a single bunch.

Graham is in B grade. Eugen and myself are in C grade.

mikesbytes

http://www.atta.asn.au/program.html#nswprog Recommend the 25k option
