Re: Clarence St Cyclery Cup 16th Nov - Juniors
I was charged $10 as a handler. I don't think Katrina paid for Charlotte or herself to watch. I think night time is different Thanks Dougie 3/ Can anyone else confirm? 4/ Also can someone really send a Jr to a race and not have a handler? Why don't they just lump it with the race fees? Seriously.

Clarence St Cyclery Cup 16th Nov - Juniors
Questions for the above. Just the Juniors program
1/ are there fees for "the handler " ?
2/ are there fees for other members of the family attending ?
I'm taking other 2 kids there and really don't want to drive there and find out it's going to cost me an additional $45 to support this.

Re: Newcastle Overnight - Saturday 16th November
Sounds like a great adventure!
I'm very keen, but will need to be back Sydney 7am-ish.
I'm targeting exiting at Wyee (125 + 5 km mark) to catch either the 3:40am or 5:22am train back.
It'll be the longest ride I'll be doing from Sydney, heading northwards.

My friend rode for Rapha in cyclocross films over asia , bike-wise he was using his Dogma at that time if I recall, but that stood up ok.
However he wrecked his Shamals wheelset.
There's a reason why Rapha Continental riders get a Ti Firefly bike with bomb proof wheels.

Re: Advice on rollers
Can you elaborate why so Christian ?The rollers that move like the elite motion are horrible to ride IMO.
Based on one attempt, they are the only rollers I've managed to stay on for any reasonable amount of time.

Here's one rollers+resistance+Elite quality option.
Grab a labcoat and look at the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfLMLbepQlA
The problem with this , is it's not foldable which means it needs to live in the garage for the rest of its days.
