Its been a while since I posted on this thread. Anyway, I've decided to start training/racing again.. Its been almost two years since I did any serious riding with a few big life events thrown in the mix. I know from a few years of racing that road/edurance is the type riding that I like the most.

Thanks Mike and Tim,
I'll look into the roof racks this weekend and get in touch once I see how I go.

Mike, you say "square bar roof rack". Do these need to be Thule brand racks to be compatable?

Adrian E

I was wondering if anyone had a rear bike rack that I could borrow for a week? I'll be taking the bikes and driving down to Cowra next week with my girlfriend Pia.

My girlfriend Pia has recently bought an old racing bike and is keen to join us on saturday slowies. The bike fits her well but reach on the stem is a little too long.

Adrian E

Sorry Lizanne, thats my fault. I slept through my alarm and roled out at 6:30. i didn't think anyone else was going so I ended up riding straight down the hwy. Did run into Julio on the return run.

Adrian E

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make this now. Pia and I are going to go to Cowra the week before for Bike North's Tour de Cowra which has a bit more of everything ( http://www.bikenorth.org.au/cycling/tdc11/ )

I still highly recommend the mudgee ride. Always good fun.

Adrian E

Just to confirm I'll be riding to waterfall in the morning. Leaving marrickville at 6:15am. Althought its not an official club ride, feel free to join me. I'll be riding out middies-ish pace... whatever that is these days : )
Adrian

Adrian E

I'm in for this saturday. Can't wait. Its been a bloodly long time!

Yes me too.
Can't do it this weekend, but I'd love to do a saturday waterfall ride and hopefully time it so we can still meet at the cafe with the slowies ride.

Hi Eleri,
Pia and I will be down Sat arvo. Pia's got a volunteers meeting at 2pm. We're in the caravan park. It would be good to catch up with the DHBC crew on Sat night as we'll be rushing back straight after.

Looking forward to joining you soon.

I've used a Carradice SQR for light touring and Audax. Review here: http://www.sydneycyclist.com/profiles/blogs/1321712:BlogPost:8627 I now use an ortleib saddlebag for Audax as it has a cleaner mount which isn't on the seatpost (but it has less capacity). http://www.wiggle.co.uk/au/ortlieb-large-sa...

I can think of times when I've beaten ultra-skinny riders up hills and failed to keep pace with the big guys. Unless your gunning for A grade I seriously wouldn't worry about it.

Adrian E

Only real bakery/pie shop is on the 200km ride (Pie in the Sky en route to Mt White).

Usually I'd avoid the route via Roseville Bridge although riding with 60 others makes it a lot easier.

Adrian E

Hi Paul,

Thanks for teaching me about Eugene Christophe although I didn't break my fork or require hospitalisation for two months after riding Milan San Remo with frostbite. The U-turn added about 40km to the ride and yes I did enjoy a beer back at the Olive Bar.

Thanks for the offer Richard but I've got a Uni intensive class on Tuesday so Wednesday is the earliest I could go : (

Hi Dpash,
I have some spare compact cranks (50/35 Shimano 105) you'd like to give them a try. I'm not really sure to give advise. I prefer spinning to grinding, but each to their own. I havn't done the three peaks or alpine classic before so I don't know how hard it is.

Adrian E

Cool. See you there!

Hi Folks, For those looking for a challenging training ride or preparation for the upcoming Audax Alpine Classic, come along to In Search of Hills - Sunday 12.

Yes, if they are supervised by an adult who takes responsibility for them that's fine. There is one long uphill towards the end, but most of the ride is easy.

Adrian E

These bikes are fantastic. If you want to have a look at one or have a go, I'll be borrowing the cabbie this weekend to take on the Annual MASSBUG Chochlate Ride. Details at: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?ei ... 709&ref=mf
