Impressive. Being an SRM bike it would be pretty accurate too. I don't think stopping dead would have been good for his legs though.

rhys

I'd be keen. Something for me to do until I save enough for a new license.

rhys

For those who are worried about being dropped in Akuna Bay - I'm the worst climber in the world, and it's not so bad.
There are also worse places to be dropped, and the slower you go the prettier the scenery is

One of the best rides to do in Sydney.

rhys

I'll be there too.

rhys

I'm keen for the first as well.

rhys

One for you Toff. His other items are pretty nice too.

Now that you mention it Pat, I guess I am. I guess we're pretty lucky with the people in our club.
Supremely disappointed that something like this would happen.

rhys

Wait, a cyclist beat the guy up? That's horrible. Was it a lycra-clad cyclist, or just a guy on a bike? Doesn't change anything either way, just trying to narrow it down.

Tony, from my estimates, the 26th would be around 50km but quite hilly, and the 27th round trip should be around 100km, if you ride home instead of taking the train. Marrickville-RNP Helensburgh exit-Marrickville is around 135km from memory.

rhys

Passed this on to a friend of mine, but the times will also make it difficult for her. But hey, nothing worthwhile was ever easy!

Noting my love of all things Klein, this would make my life complete.

Heffron is open all hours but bear in mind that it's also a favourite for local walkers and kids. So you'd be well advised not to sprint down the straights and take corner at high speed. You'll likely end up facing a dog, walker or another kid's bike front on. Even on race days, there'd still be th...

rhys

So, I hear congratulations are in order?

Trying to become a rouleur and get a bit thinner

Matt Wallman this morning heading up the bridge on his way to waterfall I presume, or somewhere further.

Having all kinds of trouble embedding this youtube. Forget it.

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

You'll get no argument from me!

Good write up Bill, I'm proud of you for making the whole way. Thanks Simon for the gatorades and coffee, I had a good time riding on the front

Always fun to hang out with Nosh too.

rhys

can we post the photo's with a non e-bay link , download to photo bucket or something. because e-bay links only last 90 ish days

I'm not quite sure what you mean?
If the link only lasts 90 days, surely the auction will have been finished by then and there is no point in checking it out?

rhys

My advice would be to get a hard case that you're able to try out properly before you buy it. It will be considerably dearer, but for the peace of mind it's definitely worth it. Imagine getting to Europe and having your pride and joy unrideable. I've been looking for one for a while as my next job r...

Would people in here be interested in a thread where we post ebay links to bicycles/parts of a valley wheeler nature? If so I will start. 20 inch alan road frame http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Alan-20-Road-Racing-Frame-and-Fork-Alloy-Childrens-Size-/130617169453?pt=AU_Sport_Cycling_Bikes&hash=item1e...

rhys

Lol. I don't eat anything, just drink the coffee

I saw Eleri as she was entering the park, crossing the bus lane about 6am. And I saw Aimee riding through malabar, as one of my friends got pretty close to her riding up a hill

rhys

I know it's unsatisfactory, however - one complaint in how many years as a club? I think we're doing alright.
Evidence to this is that any bunch is happy to take someone wearing our jersey.

For the record - where is The Crescent?

rhys

Ridley man from the 28s bunch on his way to la perouse this morning. Don't remember your name sorry mate

rhys

Looks like I need to add "race entry fees" to my budget now that I'm going to be around a lot more.

rhys

lol i love that site. i live by the five and dime, and today i was a total rule 9 bad ass! you should also check out http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2258201150#!/pages/The-Official-Rules-of-the-Euro-Cyclist/93138556811 the jr riders, and rhys seem to rate them.

Pedal stroke looked pretty good indeed.

Chubbsy in the background of SBS Cycling Central tonight. They showed all of 15 seconds of the clarence st cup and he was on the rollers in the background while they interviewed Renshaw.

rhys

May not be if drafting a highly effective structure at high speed.

This.

Also, Oppy is a certified bad-**s - even by today's standards. How good would it be to watch the greats of all generations ride together? Oppy, Merckx, Cipo, Cancellara, Nguyen....

rhys

Nice work Pat thats a great time. If you're really stuck, msg me and you can come round to my house and I'll either lend you a rear wheel, or have a crack with my chainwhip. 0419708118

When you pedal forwards, this will tighten the cog. The lockring is in the opposite direction.

rhys

See you there.

rhys

Patty could beat most of us while dragging the gate behind him. 22.5 for a one lap screamer Lizanne? That would put you in good stead in div 3 if I recall correctly - well done!

rhys

Yeah I'm happy with that Simon. Are we leaving from the Sunday ride meeting place?

rhys

rhys

Is there a contingency plan for wet weather?

rhys

I haven't experienced this before, but some advice with Gatorskins - I wouldn't run them above 90psi. They are hard tyres for training, and their grip is compromised when run so high. It sounds as though the tube may have twisted. An old trick is to put some talcum powder in the tyre, so that the tu...

rhys

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.

rhys

Lizanne on the Bourke st bike path this morning. I was sipping my espresso at Deus. (I guess this counts as spotting Aimee too)

rhys

Permission from the wife has been granted. I'll be there.

rhys

I don't remember too much as I was trying not to vomit for a few hours and I could hardly walk from lactic acid, but here goes... Once I had the program figured out (why can't they write them in english?) my first race was the division 3 motorpace over 12 laps. I tried to hustle and get out on the t...

rhys

If you're ever in Pittsburgh, maybe you could give this one a go Lizanne. 37% gradient, and cobbles.

rhys

12 hour track ride would be good, and if it works out we could use it to generate publicity for a 24 hour event. Maybe have teams of 4, and one person must be on the track at all times? like a relay/madison/12hr mtb race would be.

rhys

That trophy is so good! Well done Eleri, now you have to keep up the good work

rhys

I'll most likely be able to attend also.

rhys

Does he ride a bmc with some part of it red? There was a big strong guy that rode with the middies a few weeks back that I might be getting confused with.

rhys

Spewing I can't make it. I would love to come dressed as a podium girl, even if I look a little like a romanian weightlifter.

rhys

Lizanne, in a massive bunch around the watsons bay hills this morning. Not hanging off the back, and looking quite comfortable!

rhys

Yeah, whoopsies.

rhys

That sounds like a good idea Karzie. I would put forward an idea for a 'most vomit shed while riding' award, but thats just me being biased.

how to ride a bike!

If something I ate turned my bike into a Trek, I would be utterly distraught.

I find that hard to believe.

I can honestly say that should I ever hit 75km/h on my track bike, I will not look that good.

Hugo V and I are going to ride some eastern suburbs hills Sunday, if it's dry. 7am from around the Fox Studios entrance to centennial park. Might head out to la perouse depending on how we feel.

I'll be at sea for this, but I'll try and get some glowsticks to someone before then.

When I read Julio, I say in my head Hoolio. Haha. Hooooolio!

rhys

I can get green cylume sticks and maybe red ones from work if you want.

rhys

I have gatorskins on my commuting bikes. I never noticed they were heavy, but now that you mention it I guess they are. If they're for training though, isn't this a good thing?
If it's raining, I ride my MTB to work. Rain + Gatorskins + cycle path green paint = dinted bike.

Adrian last night at the goldsprints at the Beresford pub. Looking good in his dutch colours

rhys

Keen to give this a go. Well done Pat, and if you're at the track I'll talk to you about it tonight.

rhys

Double demerits this weekend too. Luckily he didn't ping you for that.

rhys

Eugene this morning at the coluzzi ride. We both narrowly avoided death when there was a pile-up on the highway, then I towed him back to the bunch before dying a slow and painful death somewhere in Sylvania.

rhys

Sounds great!

rhys

Sucks man. Like Grandmaster Flash said - White Lines (Don't Do It).

rhys

They also have live streaming on their cycling central site, for all of the races. It's excellent quality too.

rhys

Is it wrong that I'm most excited about Beppu?

rhys

Eleri, tonight on 630 with George Negus. I squealed, and it startled my wife.

rhys

Have you read The Escape Artist by Matt Seaton? It's just as depressing a story. I guess we all have to grow up some time.

rhys

Not going to help my weight-loss plans.

rhys

yep that's me! was it @ the pool or in the park? It was leaning up against the wall with another bike, there was a nippers sausage sizzle on. Yummy. This morning I was coming home from work and saw Trouty riding on old south head road through rose bay/vaucluse near the diamond bay bowls club. Respe...

Lizanne, is your fixed gear the red kuwuhara with the seat way forward on the rails? If so, I saw it at Bronte last sunday. I would have found you and said hi, but I was getting a bag of ice for my wife who had just rolled her ankle on the path to the beach :( Sundays in the ER, what better way to s...

If I'm at home I will most likely attend this ride. What an intriguing bunch of fellows.

It's possible he/she has proportionally long arms and legs, but for someone of my built a setup like this, well, I just can't comprehend it. I couldn't touch the pedals or reach the bars!

Back problemzzz!!!

Ironically I coached a short one legged drill this morning. What it was more about was training them to rotate the leg thru a full circle, encouraging them to recruit glutes and hamstrings. This is really the only reason I do them. And by do them, I mean I might do a few revolutions in a two hour r...

rhys

Amy I have the sram al30 race wheels on my felt. They are 18 spoke front/20 rear, pretty light and seem to be quite stiff too. I think they are within your price range. They're the toroidal design too (pretty much zipp 101s, as sram own zipp) and make a subtle aero noise at 20km/h or above.

rhys

I can't see it being too fast, but I can see it being wet and therefore not attended by myself.

rhys

This thread has kept me entertained on my overnight shift, bravo. I'm fortunate enough to have experienced a mid-life crisis already, so I'm here to help. When it comes to buying bikes, I find there is a simple formula - work out your budget, and then double it. I would suggest something made of tit...

rhys

The latex stuff has been around for years and everyone I know who uses it swears by it.
Alternatively, get a pair of gatorskin tubulars, and never get a flat again.

rhys

I'm probably going to go those Fast Forward ones after getting a good look at Simonelli's tonight. I'd love those Eastons, they're $1300 on CRC, but they're $4k here. Failing that I will get some Pistas.

rhys

Wow, I would be interested in those as well. Don't mean to hi-jack your thread Mike, but I'm thinking of getting some better wheels and I was thinking Campag Pistas would be a good option.
Those in the club who race them, what do you think? Where did you get them and how much were they?
Thanks

rhys

No small feat there, however - black socks

rhys

Nice of them to support us like that, perhaps we could put them on our next hat/jersey or something like that (provided they were keen).

rhys

I think Mt Wellington in Hobart is pretty long and steep. Alex I climbed out of Galston with Ev and Johno one Saturday and it wasn't too bad. Long-ish, but not too steep. A guy I know has been to france/italy to ride most of the HC climbs and he says the only one that compares in Australia is Mt Baw...

rhys

Awesome value - I'll probably sport mine tonight.

rhys

The one in coogee. Dundas st, behind the surf club. Makes awaba seem easy by comparison - my Garmin rated it around 22% for most of its length, the rest about 15 to 17%. I've never completed it without a pause, but I'm terrible at climbing.

rhys

I can't wait to race this Friday. See you at training tonight!

rhys

Just paint whatever you get black. Carbon forks are pretty tough, I used to commute on my felt and no dramas and I'm a heavy hambeast.

rhys

No good mate but at least it didnt make you too sick. See you soon.
