I havent seen him on a ride in a while.....

That is facinating reading. It's very good to see data used that has some "reality" to it. According to the researcher one needed to hit 26kph to be in the "top half" of the amateurs. My Strava shows EXACTLY 26kph. I certainly didnt have much left in the tank at the end. I would ...

Hi Nikel Communication is the key. tell everyone around you your intentions. Then safely pull out of the rank you are in. indicate to the rider behind you they should close the gap and NOT to follow you! drift to the back, then you can launch your attack or take a natural break, whatever your fancy ...

Everytime i choose to upload an activity to Strava it takes minutes (about five minutes or more) in the "searching for activities" phase, to bring up all the activities that i presume are saved/recorded on my Garmin (500). The very top one is generally the one i wish to save. Once the acti...

P.S. I have been told by a certain other half that he will never talk to me again if I get a Giant and referred me to this.

I am REALLY hoping he was referring you to point 1, as 2 through 7 are a little too much even for my school boy sense of humour!

Dougie

The question has to be asked... Will I get as much grief as Lizanne does for her track bike if I rocked up to a time trial on this?:

I ate a sausage and was OK. Then again, I went to Boarding School so I can eat most things. The Spawn also ate sausages and they were fine. Having said that, their cast iron stomachs have been refined through the consumption of high grade "Bunnings Sausage Sizzles". I don't think it was th...

Spotted Jonboy out for a sly bit of training near Sydenham rd. was driving with spawn to the track so I refrained from yelling out the open window and thereby setting a poor example to an impressionable junior club member. I texted "spotted!" Instead. I am a model citizen

I really didn't mean this post to get all "inconsistent bunch speedish". I like that the Cruiser 25 & 28's are social and aspirational for the newer or less fitter club members. By having four solid bunches one can move up if one wants a workout or down if one wants a chat. I have alwa...

Dougie

A BIG! turnout this morning. Although no one was prepared to put their hand up and declare themselves a "Fastie", it would appear that all three bunches were super quick today. The Cruiser 25's ended up with rather high average today of 27.5kph. Sorry about that! The ride out to Waterfall ...

The bride came home last night and announced she had 'spotted' a DHBC rider at the intersection of Parramatta Rd and City rd just before 6am - when on her way to the gym. According to her he looked like a proper cyclist (read, the right shape)!!

I think I will be in. I was dead with about five k to go. Hopefully fitter this year.

, yes we did have pillow fights each night before we went to sleep.

So, was "girls on film" by Duran Duran being played whilst these pillow fights took place?

Just askin'

Dougie

here's the thing. prohibition has never worked in anything. incentivise fair play, which i don't have an answer for by the way.

Animal trainers know that they can get the outcome they are after rather than through punishment. no seal has ever learned to balance a ball on its nose by being nagged.

Dougie

I just mailed in another $1,000. We should stay in the top ten for a while at least.

William will be there tonight.

I packed an addressed Australia Post bag. I had already google street viewed Thrawa to check there was a post box. So when I got there I stripped off the extra layers and posted them back to Sydney.

Great Morning out with mates. Nine in the Bunch. A little damp around Maroubra to Kensington. Some interesting technical sections and the odd snappy hillock. Gamin says 45K door to door and average of 25.7kph and home (coffeeless due to work commitments) at 7.49am. See you next week.

Lizanne zooming passed Redfern Cop Shop heading east at about 10.15am this morning. I was heading back from LaPa and Clovelly. In my head I shouted "Dulwich Hill Spotted!". Unfortunately what came out was Arghstumpfcoughcough. Oh well it's the thought that counts I suppose.

I think the biggest leap will be trying to move between 28's and Middies. As the Middies get fitter the gap gets bigger. The leap is not only one of fitness but that of bike handling skill also. It seems to me that in the 28's the hammer gets dropped at Marrickville to the Princes Highway. This is t...

Dougie

So if you're one of the middies that likes to push the pace, Alan, then ride up a bunch, there is no shame in getting dropped.

i think there should be kudos in moving up a bunch and being subsequently dropped. Shame doesn't even enter the equation.
