Tempe velodrome 1986. The second rider is Clayton Stephenson

mikesbytes

Is that entry tickets or spectator tickets?

mikesbytes

A challenge for the eagle eyed, which velodrome is this one?

[

mikesbytes

Think you might have a typo in there Marc, if the bike is no newer than 1990 and the frame no older than 1990, then the bike must be exactly 1990

mikesbytes

Anyone interested in being a support driver

mikesbytes

Clashes with the Australian Masters road racing championship. Pity

Wiseman's to Mooney Mooney is part of the Adventure ride I'm planning. I wasn't sure about how it was traffic wise. So is it OK?

Entries close today

Those of you who haven't got a race license, if your thinking of getting one then now is the time. From Oct 1st you can get a 2014 license that can be used immediately, therefor you get 15 months for the price of 12. http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/default.asp?Page=43895&MenuID=Join_a_club/20238/2...

Mike on approach to pyrmont bridge. It's been a while since I've seen mike on a commute due to different work places Didn't spot you. I cross pyrmont bridge on Thursday mornings going home. Last couple of weeks I've been doing it about 3/4 later than normal as I'm doing some extra training on Thurs...

mikesbytes

Artillery hill would be pretty dam challenging on a fixie

mikesbytes

Another option is to wait for a special on a brand name wheels. I got a good price on a fast forward wheel at Bike Bug about a month ago

mikesbytes

Not only is Pete on the podium, he's the best look'n on the podium [must be the anti wrinkle cream that's used to improve aerodynamics]

Great holiday mate. Post some more pictures

James sounds like you rode the wheels off your bike, you must be happy with that

The commonsure told me that M2 and M5 were the hot divisions today

Great report Mike!

Is that really true about the dog?!

So I was told

mikesbytes

Hi Andrew, agree its good to ride out of Sydney early and not so great to ride into Sydney later

I'm thinking of a ride to Wisemans ferry, grab a feed then onto Wyong and train home. Need to investigate the feasibility of it.

Also looking at the feasibility of putting on a ride for the C25ers

Thanks Phil, you've saved me a lot of leg work (gotta save them for the race)

mikesbytes

Phil, where have you booked?

I've rented a car from no birds, pick it up this morning. I'm coming back to Sydney Friday, that way I only need to take one bike. Saturday I'm staying overnight. Haven't booked any accom, any suggestions

Great racing guys

Must admit I'm tempted, though there's a lot of cost in $ and days

mikesbytes

Victorian wardrobe - free

mikesbytes

It was that "oh, I know you" look, a primal recognition, before the brain and mouth had time to engage. (truth is the brain and mouth are rarely engaged and almost never at the same time)

Opps, if I was perfect I would be perfectly boring

mikesbytes

Hang on, is this the Buisci sport rider?

Don't know any other Brownie's.

He's feeling pretty sore, you won't see him at RAW on Friday.

His frame is also written off, that's become a lot of damage caused by a stick

mikesbytes

He's out of hospital, has got away with severe bruising to his ribs and collarbone, no broken bones. Has a cut next to his right eye from his glasses. He has been lucky and unlucky. No more RAW for him.

mikesbytes

I've posted some pic's of his damaged forks on FB

mikesbytes

Riding with David Brownie this morning on Lilyfield Rd and a stick went in his front wheel causing David to go down.

He has probably done a rib and has been taken to RPA

mikesbytes

"Jealous"

mikesbytes

That's really excellent Craig and top job and getting the Phil Liggett commentary

mikesbytes

After describing the problems with my current Fixie frame, Bundy recommend I get an Alloy VISP frame. Recon's they are about $150.

Any views on frames?

Of course once you change the frame, the temptation is to do an entire build

mikesbytes

Thanks Strawburger.

Looking at the data in my age category the Australian winner was 3kph faster than the NSW winner. No doubt due to the different wind conditions

mikesbytes

Pace is that of the slowest rider and the fastest riders will challenge themselves on the main hills.

Weather looking good, see you in the morning

mikesbytes

Strawburger, I've had a look at last years NSW results and AU results and its stating a distance of 25k for NSW and 22.5k for AU. Was there a variation of course?

mikesbytes

Telstra have scheduled a telephone technician to come to my house in Tempe on Monday, August 26th 2013 between 8am and 12noon. Unfortunately I'm away on that date and if I reschedule I won't have internet and landline for 2 weeks. So I'm wondering if anyone can help out by being at my place that mor...

mikesbytes

It's on again for the not so young and its near Goulburn so you can do any of them as a day trip if you want. Also if you want to do the Fixie century you can do the ITT on the Friday, Crit on Saturday and Fixie century on Sunday. Now here's the interesting twist, the ITT is a race against yourself....

mikesbytes

Can Make Monday 7pm. Guess that's too late

I was referring to the Garmin Vector, sorry for the confusion.

US$1,699.99 https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sp ... 93569.html

mikesbytes

Yeh the pedals look interesting. Cleats: Doesn't state if the cleat is Keo or Delta, not that important but the pedal manufacturer makes both. The Garmin site doesn't state either (unless it buried somewhere), which is fair enough as most avoid mentioning other manufacturers on their sites. Compatib...

During the week prior I had discussed a strategy with some of the climbers. That being that I string out the field from the start and down the hill and then the climbers attack and get over the top and get away in say a bunch of 12. Warming up Roland (the eventual winner) started chatting to me, he ...

I can give you an old wheel and tyre for free. It's not very good, but it could buy you time till you can afford to buy your wheel of choice.

mikesbytes

Same date as the NSW masters championships

mikesbytes

Mike, yeah looks to be second fastest under you. Oh well I guess I'll just have to practice more

Only cos Jos hasn't done it this year

mikesbytes

Was chatting with LACC rider Kerrin in Saturday's race and he brought up about the RAW points score. I mentioned that it doesn't matter who gets across the line first, because the 3rd club was so far away in the points, so it boils down the the italian pursuit

mikesbytes

Andrew, to my knowledge that makes you the second fastest DHBC rider this year

mikesbytes

Anyone know if Jason is out of hospital?

Jason is out of hospital

mikesbytes

Well done Keith.

Andrew, how did you go?

mikesbytes

Saturday handicap race, Mark got the best DHBC result, with Simon going the furthest in his bunch. Results are on CNSW

Sunday Div4 Mark finished in the bunch not too far of the podium. In Div3 Tim was the first DHBC rider home.
