Ow well Time to Train now I guess.....

Have you started training yet Simon?

Trouty

Really considering this...

Andrew....if you get a chance you really should go. It was awesome last time. With Dougie knowing where to ride and the best places to stop and see the tour come through, it's stress free.

Trouty

It was really good racing today in both grades. I will let Eleri comment on her grade, but I will say a big congratulations to her for coming 3rd in the B Grade and 2nd in the Prim. She won some decent cash. The A grade race was awesome and challenging. Lot's of attacks nearly had me at my limit sev...

Trouty

I might do that. I like the tennis centre.

We should ride out there

Trouty

Well done to everyone on Sunday.

Jo what was the average speed in C grade.

Not sure I haven't downloaded the Garmin yet, but I am guessing around 35km+. I did a race in C grade in April and the average speed was 37.1km at Landsdowne but it was much warmer back then compared to Sunday.

Trouty

To all DHBC woman: Support woman's racing and come along and race on Saturdy 14th July at Sydney Olympic park. It starts at 2pm and there are A and B grades with plenty of prize money. It's being run by LACC.

Trouty

That was the most painful ride ever. Not because of my legs but because my saddle slid backwards and i rode the event with the saddle lodged up my bottom.

Ouch......but well done any way

Trouty

I doubt the Giro Noog has a barcode tattoo on his calf muscle that expands and contracts as you follow him on the pace line. Hey Annoying, I've always wondered but never asked Incase it's been asked many times before....If I passed your leg through a scanner how much would you be or what would it s...

Trouty

Wiggins seems like a nice enough, and professional lad. Yeah I have nothing against Wiggins really, only that he is nemesis to Cuddles (oh and the hair). I actually admired Wiggins attitude last year when breaking his collar bone when he said it's not the end of the world....it's just a bike race -...

Trouty

Obviously all the climbing on our holiday has benefited Stuart, and the huge quantities of duck fat he ate didn't effect him. Eleri still suffering a cold, managed to go well today. Eleri was Stuart's lead out girl after being out the front for the majority of the last lap. Stu was in the perfect po...

Trouty

I was just in city bike depot rummaging through their bargain bin and there was some good stuff there - especially for small people. 2 pairs of size womans 10 bib nix (Nettie but they look good. For $50 each. They were slighly large for me. They are about $100+ at Clarence St cycles and that is a 30...

Trouty

I picked up a fork yesterday! So after a lot of dead ends, I wrote direct to Avanti and said 'what gives?' for a company of your size not to be selling bike parts. A nice lady wrote back to say that that is the first she has heard of it seeing as you can! You just need to speak to the Avanti salesp...

Trouty

Ok, good to see I wasn't the only one that thought the pace back was solid. Shame about your malfunction, I hadn't even noticed you dropped off.

Trouty

Just wanted to comment on how good the middies ride was today. It was a huge group, but very well organised, not a lot if inconsistent surging and lots of calling. Great to see a lot of people that have come up from the 28s. It was a bit harder than I remember before I left, but I think that's just ...

Trouty

Dougie Looks like black caviar is ready to race in the TDF. They already have made up lycra to fit. (see attached) http://images.smh.com.au/2012/06/05/3350461/art-wbRACEcaviar-420x0.jpg They might need to get a larger sample cup for the post race drug testing Also having to shave 4 legs would be a ...

Trouty

Nope - not entered yet. I'll do it.

And no I'm not bitter about being left at home while you all traipsed around Europe, eating, drinking, having a good time and BARELY TRAINING AT ALL!

It was all part of our master plan Eleri to make sure you come on the next Training Camp!!

Trouty

We are still at Callala - I've booked accommodation!

Have we actually entered a team yet? Stuart is looking forward to driving the support vehicle with the flashing lights

Trouty

Of course I want it to be cadel, but wiggins will be his main contender. The biggest thing against Cadel at the moment apart from wiggins being in great form is that Wiggins has such an exceptional team behind him. Richie Port...what can I say, wasn't that a great move bringing him on board. Sky als...

Trouty

here's the Tuesday bunch pre ride ... earring guy not there ...

Trouty

For me, riding with these guys has been one of the best parts of the holiday. Their version of "Saturday slowies", isn't on a Saturday and it's not exactly slow - so I guess it's nothing like our Saturday slowies. The 80km ride to them is easy, as they take us the scenic route, but there i...

Trouty

After a month in France, on a road bike, and Endless hills, I'm looking forward to getting on to Cameron (For those that don't know, that is my track bike, I can't name every bike after Cadel). See you guys there.

Trouty

uncanny resemblance don't you think?

Ok - here is the handsome Chap. Fumiyuki Beppu. Although I think his leg muscles are slightly bigger than Noog's...only just. He is doing ok in his first Giro.

Trouty

Pia and I will be watching the track worlds tonight from 7pm. Please join us if you'd like to watch the racing and have a drink with us. Our address is 30/71 Alice Street, Newtown. If you're coming, please let me know so I can guess if how much space well need. Give me a buzz on 0405 358 253. Adria...

Trouty

It was part of the calendar last year & no one was interested/ showed up so we cancelled it as a result. So anyone who is keen to ride this event will need to be there to support it. Hey Patn - sounds awesome, I would so love to come to this and the ones Crafty has ran in the past were really g...

Trouty

It's a fast track. Aussie men will take the TTT (well, I hope so anyway) Jo & I are there Fri-Sun night sessions. Look for the fat bloke in the Wallabies jersey with the cute partner

Aw shucks...that's nice Stuey (Hopefully you are talking about me?) Hope to see some of you guys down there.

Trouty

I saw a DHBC jersery on tonight's Cycling Central @Heffron. Who was that man?

Good question, Stu and I were trying to work out who it was?

Trouty

hey Jo,(the builder) we need to find 2 more girls for the elite. so far it's me and you. you might have more luck with masters @ Jo, you have 2 options as you could do Masters or Elites. Michele P and I are off in Italy during the June Road TT so there is spots and enough woman to make 1 masters te...

Trouty

doesn't say much for cervelo bikes

I think it was Geoff S who told me that he seems to have a lot of Carbon Cevelo's in the shop with damaged frames. Go the Pinnarello !!

Trouty

I have a meeting & won't be there.

I have some thing on so it looks doubtful, otherwise I would have just come along to be an official of some sort as I don't have a steel bike. Hopefully the weather holds out.

Trouty

Jo we can just got on a little weekend trip down to Geelong and just "have a look". :) I'd be up for that. It really is a beautiful piece of machinery - I'd marry Stuart if he bought me that. Maybe that would be a deterrent for poor stu. I'm currently checking out a new track frame. Stuar...

Trouty

Now this is a track bike

http://www.cyclingtips.com.au/2012/03/n ... eto-pista/

Check out those handlebars. I'd love one of those, I wonder if Stuey would consider that for my birthday?

Trouty

This is a lovely idea.
But the important question is, what kind of bike did you get???

He got a Dolan, I'd like one of those - with any luck, I just need to work on Stuey a little more.

Trouty

Very cute Mike

Trouty

Congratulations everyone! Great results...

Jo, are you tip toeing on the podium to look taller...?!

Yes and if you notice my friend Jayne is crouching down....also to make me look taller!

Trouty

Congratulations Jo, John and Matt! Australian Champions :) Jo - you beat Jayne! That's a medal to feel really proud of. So how did happen? I had 3 really strong riders in my division, and the best I was hoping for was to roll in 4th or 5th and try not to get lapped. Jayne and Kerry are very strong ...

Trouty

We were combined with masters 2 for a 10km scratch. I sucked Brownie's wheel and came in 3rd and Matt rolled in in 6th or so after trying to break away with about 6 to go. We were the only Masters 1s in the race :wink: If Timmy was there, we could have had a clean sweep of the podium! Jo rode a per...

Trouty

He lost his 2 front teeth, broken collar bone and has a huge gash in his face, with a possible fracture on the cheek. I think his face took the full force and he was unconscious at the crash. I wasn't there but Stuart told me the details. Stuart got the car on film, and has made a statement to the p...

Trouty

It was an interesting interview tonight on cycling central with Anthony Tan and the doping expert dude. Both had little doubt on his guilt and were happy with the decision. The "expert" played down the possibility of the blood transfusion, although said of course this was possible, but the...

Trouty

Dougie, did you go for wrist or ankle, I can't decide which one to get. Go with the wrist Stuey. Who ever looks down at your ankles anyway? Also your socks get in the way. When I was at primary school having an anklet meant you were a girl of loose morals (that was a long time ago). Of course I nev...

Trouty

Just curious if anyone from the club is heading to the Tour this year??

Na, why you got free tickets? I'm heading to the Giro though.

Trouty

here's a timeline of exactly what happened and yet at his trial McGee was acquitted of causing death by dangerous driving, but convicted of the lesser offences of driving without due care and failure to stop and render assistance following an accident. For that he got a fine. Its a disgrace. http:/...

Trouty

A clearly written card with all relevant information is the most cost effective solution. No need for fancy 20 words commercial solution unless one cares for it. Fact is, in an emergency and without direct information, the resuscitation team will follow protocol and not depend on any information on...

Trouty

Fair outcome given lesser known riders have been similarly punished for clenbuterol positivity. Even if it was unintentional, he'll regret for all the extra troubles of buying Spanish beef. Should have chosen more wisely. I don't buy that it was ever a case of an unintentional purchase. Seriously -...

Trouty

So there are no grades? All elite men race in the same group?

Not sure - best give them a call. The racing I have been do doesn't seem to attract the hard core elites. I won't be going this weekend, but there are weekends I will go.

Trouty

This Sunday is the start of the crit racing at Sutherland. There is a womans only grade and also Masters men's grades and they are paying good money down to 5th place for all grades. People can ride there as a warmup (It's on the way to Waterfall) - Info below: 6 week Crit series at Waratah Park Sut...

Trouty

Yeah AliG - Stuart saw it and was quite distressed about it. I think I will watch it tomorrow recorded....today has been a hard enough day as it is.

Trouty

I guess the 2 highlights for me were a bit unexpected. Although I got 2 silvers in sprint events I'd been training for (& a pb for the TT), they didn't mean as much as the Bronze in the Points race that I wasn't too keen to enter, knowing I didn't have the endurance for it. I came off the track ...

Trouty

I just entered our team for the NSW team pursuit. So far it looks as though the team will consist of Ondrej, John N, Matty W and myself.

Can we win the elusive state gold medal, after losing it by only 0.093 of a second last year?

Stay tuned.

I'd say yes!!

Trouty

Masters racing tomorrow Sunday the Fifth, and on the Nineteenth of Feb at Eastern Creek. Starts at 7 am, and it looks dry!
Anyone else?

I'd love to Pete but I'm at the track SUnday

. Hanging to race back at Waratah's though.

Trouty

Funny you should say that - the ambos told me I was repeating myself endlessly; I thought I was being perfectly lucid, of course. Scary feeling.

Glad all is ok Charles, hope to see you back on the rides soon. People tell me I repeat myself all the time, but I really don't have any excuse.

Trouty

I've just registered for the 2012 JWJC. I rode with C25's on Sunday to Waterfall and hope other C25 speedsters will join me. Not sure whether to ride from Marrickville (extra 22kms) or start from Loftus. You are better riding the 22km to Loftus and meet up with any other DHBC people going. Nice eas...

Trouty

Which Jo, Jo?!

Which Jo ? me Jo. I don't think you are quiet old enough to be an old duck (Master) like me. I guess you have a few years left before your Masters age Jo Jo. Back to the elites you go and hopefully you guys can get another medal this year.

Trouty

Well, we should have some kick arse men's masters track / road TTT teams then this year and with Amy turning 30 as well, there's possible additions to teams all round. Yes for once we might have an A and B road tt team. So start training girls as it looks like we have to win the spot on the A team ...

Trouty

here's one for Trouty ....

Go Cam Go, he is still a few notches behind Cadel, but I have 2 bikes named after each of them.

Trouty

Yeah Great report Dougie, always a pleasure to read. @ Jo, absolutely recommend you go, there are so many people about riding, and you can do some serious kilometres or just do some cruisy rides here and there. Dougie's itinerary really helped take the pressure of planning the best routes out. I lov...

Trouty

A nice photo on the Adelaide Advertiser Website http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/galleries/gallery-e6frecgu-1226247616868?page=4 What a great photo!!! Love it, you will have to get a real copy of that one. Anyway - thanks every one for making it a great week, and special thanks to you Dougie for ...

Trouty

lt's raining here again l give up.

l'm staying home and will probably give the trainer a go.

Just wasn't your day was it?

Trouty

I wanna do cyclo-cross. Maybe.

Hmmm...I don't like the part where they have to carry there bikes, and possibly not the mud. I would have to clean the Pinarello!!

Trouty

I'm keen for Sat and Sun.
Not sure whether to do both events on Sat.

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk

Since your there you may as well, no point turning up for just 1 race hey!!

Trouty

Yeah - it's a tough call, but he has been around long enough to know the rules. What gets me though is that rulings aren't very consistant....2 years down the track and still no ruling on Clembutador's case. Really - what's the hold up. It's all about politics is my guess.

Trouty

Eleri will be horrified at some of these, as will the rest of the DHBC woman.

Trouty

Hey guys,

If anyone knows some one wanting to work in a bike shop in the city, full time, or heavy casual hours can you please contact Adam on below:

info@citybikedepot.com.au

They are a cool bunch of guys, looks like a fun place to work, and very busy.

Trouty

He really is a legend, and will only get better......You don't do too badly against all those semi/pros Chubbsy

Trouty

What an awesome carnival all round - best one yet, all grades were pretty exciting to watch, but the Koreans Vs Law brothers Vs Rathbone races were exceptional !!

Trouty

Have a brother-in-law after 1st roadie, has been looking at 2-4 year old bikes 2nd hand, and at options like a new Cell alloy/carbon for $800-ish. Around 5'9". If you have anything that might suit taking up space in the garage - or need to offload one to justify the purchase of an upgrade... P...

Trouty

Karzie, that is great footage. Love that race of Lacey's. He was still way at the back when the bell rang, started his attack at the banking - fantastic 2nd.

Trouty

Because it glows

How long do you think it will take before it wears off? I wonder who we have to call to get the road fixed? Great job - very nice handwriting!!

Trouty

Woohoo awesome night last night. the crowd was brilliant with a little Bernard beer lubrication. Notable mention goes to Jo who is sitting in second for the females, one point more than me, (no so) little Billy Bolton in a respectable 6th in C grade. Then, Ondrej followed by Chidgey, are 4th and 5t...

Trouty

Stuart Average smaverage! I will remind you of this wild and outlandish statement as we push our bikes up the 16% gradient parts of Mengler's Hill. Hill repeats of Bayview anyone? Dougie SO Dougie - my question to you is what gears are you riding at the TDU? I currently run 52/38 at the front with ...

Trouty

I'm quite keen on waterfall on the 1st, but will probably make a final decision about 2230 on the 31st

I will be in for the first also

Trouty

Some people really don't deserve the right to breath. Hope they catch those idiots and your dad isn't in too much pain. That's really horrible Jo Jo

Trouty

Hey Mark, I only just read this post, I am sure we have a spare wheel on stuarts Merida you could borrow. Let us know if you are still in need of one.

Trouty

Dont suppose any one interested in just riding to Sutherland Christmas day?? In the morning of course to be back by 8.30

Trouty

I didn't know there'd be a late fee - $40a night!? Now I don't know if I can afford to ride in these...

What is with you late commers. Every one knows it's been on for months !! Argg. Would have been good to see you ride them Patn. Never mind.

Trouty

I entered the Tempe one. Paid a late fee. Jo made me do it.

That's the spirit !!!

Trouty

If it doesn't rain....I'll be there. I will be having my last work Christmas function on the Wednesday night, so should be nice and hungover for Thursday.

Trouty

Can I just go to a couple of them? I forget how to ride my track bike though so better practice some time. Oh look - it's raining!! At least enter one, the Tempe one, which will probably be run at Dunc due to rain. They really are fun, and the experience will be good for you. I am only entering 3. ...

Trouty

Thanks Stu. Will do. But the main question: Rival or Ultegra? Clarence St have a great range, but they are in the city so at times they can be expensive. Pinarello are my favourite so I am a bit biased. But Geoff Semon works on bikes every week as the mechanic at Steve Hoggs shop and he says he get...

Trouty

I spoke to this lady and said we would be writing a Forum Article on her and try and catch up with her face to face in line with Calga time trials some time in Jan, Feb or March. She has plenty of articles she has kept and will be interesting to have a chat to. She still rides today and still works ...

Trouty

you can do both the christmas carnivals and morning rides.

ah sorry Lizanne, I'm not as hardcore as you, and I freely admit it and am totally comfortable with my own limitations - so knock yourself out to do both rides, I'll be sleeping in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Trouty

I will be in for rides on Boxing day, 1st, and 2nd, but in between that I have those Christmas carnivals.

Eleri - aren't you going in the Christmas Carnivals? They are more fun than anything else.

Trouty

I'm in the process of trying to diversify. It's going terribly!

Why?? You're way too good a sprinter!

Trouty

It's great, I love it too. It looks harder to walk up than to ride, and I laughed out loud when I saw the guy attacking it with panniers! Here is another really steep street. Next time I'm in NZ I might pay it a visit. Ahhhh, no I won't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_Street,_Dunedin I though...

Trouty

Hey Michelle, What a great job you have done with the juniors - outstanding! To think we had no juniors competing at all a year or so ago, and just to see how strong some of them went in the Clarence St cup was amazing. It will be a shame to see you go, but I can see there is a lot of demands on you...

Trouty

The special race idea is a good one. Jo, would you like to contact her on behalf of the DHBC? Feel it is more appropriate if someone with a longer history with the DHBC (i only joined in July this year) or a DHBC committee member does so. Am not sure if she has an email address, but then havent had...

Trouty

Such a great story - perhaps the best way to tell it would be in naming an annual event after her. Miller-McLachlan Cup? Track event for Junior Girls? Club-based teams Road event? Endurance event on the track or road? 36 hour teams endurance event to commemorate the Sydney-Melbourne feat? Or even j...

Trouty

Thanks mate - I'm away this week but next week I'll bring it down to the track. Thought I'd do a little report from the match sprint yesterday. Lizanne and I rode it, and Theo came down to help us and give us some advice. He has been so good to me over the last few weeks, and I learnt a heap from h...

Trouty

Yay for early!

And boo for being bored at uni.

Hey - I just noticed this even was on last night, any race reports to hear of? How did you go Patn?

Trouty

Harder than I thought; getting Margaret McLachlan's (nee Miller) contact details. If anyone has any leads out there, please don't hesitate to try. Regards marc I just think she would be an interesting lady to chat to and write abit of a story on. Simon Sharwood - looks like a project for you!! I wi...

Trouty

Lol Brownie came top 5!!! Brownie really is unbelievable. It was hilarious as Crafty was commenting during the race on how smart he was having a higher riding IQ than the rest of the field combined. You know - Brownie and his steel bike does so well against those young guys with all their carbon fi...

Trouty

I didn't realise you were at the point of vomiting at any stage Rhys, but good to know you were suffering as much as me. Here is what I remember: SCRATCH: There were a lot of new riders I didn't recognise from Bathurst so I wasn't sure of their ability. I thought Jane Payne from the UK would probabl...

Trouty

Yeah what a fantastic article and to think she was from DHBC. Obviously I googled her and found a couple of interesting facts: John McLachlan and his wife Margaret used to own Stanmore Cycles in Sydney in the 1980's and John built McLachlan frames back then. They then moved to Newcastle and ran Civi...

Trouty

It's a shame Eleri had to leave the Presentation early last night, but I thought this photo of all her awards would give her a visual indication whilst she is in Adelaide, on just how much she has achieved in her very short foray into cycling. She has gone from being a novice recreational rider to a...

Trouty

Excellent Timmy....this may be the only time I ever over take you.

Trouty

You people are sick. Hills suck.

I knew there was some thing Stuart and I had in common.

Trouty

I can honestly say that should I ever hit 75km/h on my track bike, I will not look that good. Yeah she doesn't even seem like she is breathing that hard. Really bummed I missed this one again, Lizanne told me about it today - I haven't been keeping up with the forums of late. I am on house painting...

Trouty

2nd photo: 'thank goodness she's let go of me... I can disappear around the corner any second now... ah.' Well done Jo. Did he score a peck on the cheek after the photos? No I figured having half his skin from my claws digging into him was enough. I did want to tell him if we were married - I could...

Trouty

They are awesome pics - glad you're legs are nicely shaved Alex. Great race report, but judging by the photo you had a lot left in you. Well done Paddie - I still can't believe you did a pursuit? Aren't you a sprinter. The thought of 8 laps at a pace just before you throw up, seems way too daunting ...

Trouty

I just entered the remaining sprint events...kieran,250m TT and the sprint.anyone interested!? The 1 lap screamer in particular will be fun, and for that I'm thinking of those couple of people who I see practising their standing starts - tim?trouty? Anthony p?!! I think all the events are for elite...

Trouty

lol man does that cadel lad ever look happy!

You wouldn't be happy either if some one was gripping on to your arm that tightly. I think I even dug my nails in!!

Timmy - You can't say anything bad about Cadel or I'll clobber you with the 8 inch heels I wore -
