With all the photos of us girls you had to pick the ugliest one of all time with Camilla and I seemingly not wanting to be photographed. The faces say it all.

Trouty

Adam and I are hard core. We went to slowies yesterday in the rain, but we had no friends. According to something I read on fb, Audley Weir was flooded yesterday and therefore closed. Not that we were going that way but it says something about how much water is in the park. Pity, I was looking forw...

Trouty

UPDATE - The ride is postponed to next week. The rain prediction has been upgraded and there is rain everywhere. Those who want to go to Waterfall, I'm sure some hardy souls will go but I won't be one of them. Was looking forward to Waterfall at least....bugger this rain. They called off A & B ...

Seeing we have a few new lady trackies - here is a bike that might interest some. It used to be Michelle Crawfords bike (WMA3 world Champion IP). Anyway Camilla tried it the other night and it was a bit short. Probably would suit some one shorter than Camilla. Anyway - if you are interested pm me wi...

To the newbie girls that don't have a track bike. I know of a Hillbrick bike for sale that used to be Michele Crawfords old bike. It has durace cranks and carbon bars. I think the price is around about the $950. Refer to for Sale section for picture, price and details.

I don't think Camilla was faking. Maybe it was the new position she was trying? I think she just wanted to stick her breasts out personally. Actually it was a fun afternoon and I was amazed to see how far the girls had come since I saw them in week 2 or week 1. Keep riding ladies and congrats to Je...

Needs to be for OS handlebars and 1 inch forks and anything small 50mm 60mm 70mm is good :D Just trying to find what length I need 50 - 70mm sounds awfully small Aimee, the bike sounds a bit big for you? I had a 80mm and I found the ...

Trouty

Up-selled themselves? No way !! The top four riders in the aggressive rider points are all hard core girls - yay team !!

I'm glad to see ALL girls in the top 4 - go girls go. There is nothing wrong with up selling yourself - if you don't do it, no one else will.

Trouty

Hey Just to add another dimension to this....how about we award Omnium points for all the people that made points in every category. It will either show our Omnium hopefulls or those people that relentlessly up-selled themselves to get on the aggressive rider classification. It was a a great thread.

Trouty

Saturday seems to be a lazy day for most as not 1 person answered my post for Waterfall last Saturday. That either shows how unpopular I am, or that noone really wants to ride with me :(. Anyway given I can't do Waterfall on Sunday, just wondering if any one wants to do a Waterfall ride on Saturday ...

Trouty

ok - I better add my big 20km efforts this week. Another 5km and I could have broken 800 but it wasn't to be :(. Still it has been interesting seeing how many km people ride. The most aggressive rider story I like the best is Rhys when he spewed his gut's up - that's so GOLD!! 1. Mikesbytes 2272k (9...

Trouty

That bike is too big for Adam. He has to go shopping. Anyone want to go shopping with him? I'll be too busy training to ensure I don't get beaten. I ain't marrying any 60 yr old bloke so he can have a trophy wife. Is there such a thing as a trophy defacto? A new name for our club. The Trophy Defact...

Trouty

Confirmed. Although Camilla is in fact currently on two strikes, not one. I think we will have to have an official name like "The NOT Wives Club". I could put out a challenge, but I think it will only make us woman stronger. The challenge being if ever you blokes ever beat your respective...

Trouty

I'm really missing doing the Waterfall rides with the bunch, which seems to give the weekly ride km a good kick start. Hopefully get to Waterfall after next Sunday. See the trackies next week as this Wednesday I'm seeing "The Cure". But I bet half you young riders wouldn't even know who th...

Trouty

As a newbie I just thought it was worth saying what fun my first waterfall ride was. I had it built up in my mind as a huge challenge that had to be slowly worked towards. I know that 25s isn't a hard pace - but it was so good to find that all the concern was unnecessary. Really enjoyable, lovely d...

The current homepage has been updated

also, look for the link to a great video of Amy in the 1991 NZ BMX champs

Yeah that video was gold, seeing little Amy's legs spin. Soooo cute.

Trouty

Al might have one in his shop at Hurlestone Park, the only issue is he will have to find it amongst all the other stuff.

Trouty

If the weather is good (as I don't go out in the rain), anyone interested in doing a Waterfall ride on Saturday? C28+ pace, nothing too hard. 6.30 start at the usual spot

Trouty

I'll actually nominate Eleri for some aggressive riding points for managing to keep riding in the Hunter Classic even with a migrane and withholding throwing up in the first 2 laps. No matter what happens you just have to point that girl in the right direction and she won't stop till the finish. 1. ...

Trouty

Yeah it was a nice surprise to find out after the race that Michele and I got 3rd in our Age division and we split the $70. With a mass ALL IN start, it is impossible to know who you are racing and with the 100km racers mixed in with the 60km sprinters and you have no idea where you are coming. Most...

Trouty

Agressive rider update; 4 points to Eleri. I totally agree with that!! Also I think Lacey should get some points as I think him sticking with the bunch today at the Crit was a pretty good effort considering he is an enduro and not a sprinter. Go lacey go. Weller should get some points simply becaus...

Trouty

Especially because I beat both of them by being able corner much better than either of them so I got a good run up into the uphill. Whoever would have thought I would beat someone on a hill!

Since we don't have most stupid rider points, I guess most aggressive rider points will do it - given I need to get aggressive riders points on the board. I aggressively road with the Brats club this morning at Centenial Park and got dropped on the warm up lap! As I was riding solo and feeling dejec...

Trouty

Bugger...missed it again, off to Goulburn. One day I will get to ride the DHBC Crit.

Trouty

All the categories except most aggressive rider are self administered based on your feeling of achievement. So if by riding the Centennial park climb you feel as though you have ridden the 'Eastern suburbs Hills' by all means you can claim it. But as a clarification for what it meant when it was wr...

Great ride today every one, and it was an unexpected large group.

Stage 1 I was just making sure I stayed in the bunch. First climb, a fair few got dropped. After the turn around on a descent 3 riders slid out in front of me, and some behind, I stayed safe and closed the gap to the front, no one else seemed to, so there were 13. At the finish I had the wrong whee...

Trouty

I already know who I am without having to ride any kilometres....this so sounds like me:

"Allesandro Pettachi, this is the first hill top finish of the tour and you would rather get off now than continue"

I'll give you 20 points Simon just for thinking up this scheme...excellent!!

Trouty

oh well Timmy, more time for rest and relaxtion. Make the most of it.

Trouty

I'm also up for this one. You guys can experience some of the hill climbing I have to do on my morning commute.

Yeah, a bit surprised to see Toff be a super domestique for a lot of the way up to Akuna. I thought true sprinters always sucked wheels!!

I would like to have a go at this. I don't think I need a track bike for this (from what i understand of Crits)? I guess I may well be in the F Grade.

Surprising that some people that had turned up hadn't even rode on a road bike, and only done spin class - so congrat's to them as that is a gutsy move.

My 2 cents worth is that your should (if you can do it) get a bike that fits you to a tee. I have one bike that has 650c wheels and Ryhs is correct, it is really cheap to buy old 650c stuff on ebay. There are always disks etc going around, you'd never have to borrow! I don't think there is any comp...

Yes. I would be in a couple of times per month.
