I saw Mike C getting off the back carriage of a train at Redfern early in the week, with a track bike over his shoulder.

I saw Tim L and John N in DHBC colours at 2pm today riding home past Flower Power at Taren Point Road.

Posted: **19 Jul 2011, 10:59**

That was me and Anthony Pham, John isnt allowed on a bike for more than half an hour at the moment

Posted: **21 Jul 2011, 10:42**

Not sure if he is DHBC or not, but wasn't he a sponsor? Anyway, I caught up with Michael Glennon near the toilets at Centennial swimming pool this morning...

Posted: **22 Jul 2011, 22:23**

yeah he was a sponsor, and used to host our Christmas party! He was totally one of my best ever training partners!

Posted: **31 Jul 2011, 21:10**

Today, twice. Same rider, two different places on the bike path to Botany Bay. Perhaps the Dully Doppelganger. you know who you are ('cause I don't) reveal yourself.

...i was by the airport going to bronte, then home, then the city, then home, then alexandria, then home. but i wasn't wearing my dhbc jersey

Posted: **01 Aug 2011, 09:56**

Oh, and the Dully Doppelganger was a chap. So Lizanne, unless you are a hirsuite male I am thinking it was not you (unless of course "Lizanne" is your Drag name)

Posted: **01 Aug 2011, 15:59**

Could have been my dad, i think he was riding that way.

Posted: **01 Aug 2011, 16:05**

T- Bone, the chap may well have been your Dad. Especially if your Dad got underway early in life. I am 42 and I reckon this fellow is a good 5 to 10 years younger than me.

Posted: **01 Aug 2011, 19:56**

That was me.....I came on line to post that based on profile picture I thought it was you.

i s'pose i should thankyou for the compliment re: my age I'm 38 in Nov.

Posted: **02 Aug 2011, 14:07**

I recently picked up my new DHBC wind jacket and have been proudly wearing it on my daily commute. I noticed that since wearing the jacket other cyclists go beyond the customary nod to sometimes offer a raised hand, the odd “Hi” or even a smile, (yes, freaky I know).

Why, even pedestrians seem mesmerised by its presence and often shout “you go Cadel” as I whip past them on the Cooks River cycleway (actually, maybe its “you go to hell”), anyway I believe this jacket has mojo, and a mojo I’m thinking about utilising in other areas of my life.

Plan A was soon thwarted when my wife refused to allow me to wear it to bed, so plan B is to perhaps wear it when I front the next board meeting at work, I can see a promotion, if not, Plan C is to wear in the subsequent job interview.

My loose point is, there’s power in these threads I tells ya!, one that makes me stronger, faster and probably more visible,

May the DHBC force be with you

Michael

Posted: **02 Aug 2011, 14:40**

Heaps cool Michael! Keep smiling in that jersey, if nothing else, it would be nice to be known as the nicest club.

Posted: **02 Aug 2011, 16:26**

I am glad others are using the DHBC kit in other areas of their lives. I thought I was the only one. I tried wearing it to bed also, however the bride told me my "down tube" looked smaller in it. So I followed up with the customary "Spotted!" and she simply handed me a tube of ointment and nodded off.........don't try this at home.

Myself and G at the Tweed Ride. Curiously the Valley Wheeler moustache didn't raise a protest from the commissaires, as opposed to G's budgie smugglers.

Posted: **04 Aug 2011, 08:12**

spotted Adrian and little Eddy on Wilson St last night. I gave a friendly wave and he gave a cheerful ring of his bell.

Posted: **18 Aug 2011, 06:50**

I think I saw Rick Polito or maybe it was Doug in the Park on Wednesday morning stopped near the cafe. Adam and I said hello but we were wearing no distinguishing DHBC items of apparel so looked like randoms probably.

Posted: **18 Aug 2011, 17:02**

I know what you look like Eleri so I would have said "hi, spotted, yo" or some other type of verbal signal of recognition. I wasnt in the park, so it wasnt me. Does Rick look like me? Is there some mileage in that for me? Could he pass himself off as the "stunthusband" in place of me when stoushing with the bride?

Well it was dark ... Others may correct me, but I'm pretty sure that Rick won't pass as you in daylight. Perhaps you could confine your stoushes til after dark.

Posted: **26 Aug 2011, 08:40**

i've seen heaps!

so i saw Jo the Builder on sunday, on Illawarra Rd, i was on my way to meet Aimee, Vic, and Alex for breakfast.
I saw Amy just infront of me going under the rail line at Tempe on Monday. I would have said hi but you were going too fast, and i was riding 2 bikes.
I think i saw Oli last night on the bike trail next to airport dr. it was about 4:30 ish. i waved but i don't think he noticed me. (or i got the wrong person)

woohoo!

Posted: **26 Aug 2011, 18:42**

Yes, spotted you too Lizanne! Wasn't it about 1 in the afternoon? Breakfast?

I was heading home after work to sleep...

Posted: **27 Aug 2011, 09:21**

hmmm
oh ya! i want out with Aimee and Vic on friday, so i was just waking up and going into the city to rescue Jellybean form the evil bike shop.

*edit*
I saw Jo the builder on Illawarra Rd saturday afternoon, i gave a cheerfull wave although i was in my own world from going out with the Armstrong sisters on Friday.

Posted: **29 Aug 2011, 22:15**

Spotted Mikesbytes on Harries Rd Five Dock at about 5.20. looked like was on the way to fitness last. I tried to multi task, drive and shout out "spotted". All i managed was to pop the boot

Posted: **29 Aug 2011, 23:00**

I was on my way to FF

Posted: **30 Aug 2011, 08:35**

Rode with a potential club member last night. I've seen him around the last few months. A NZ accent by the sound of it, a rugby player who has just finished his season and lives in Dulwich Hill. He was asking about the Sunday waterfall rides. I put the good word in about the club but ran out of time to get his name. Here's hoping he joins the rides in the coming weeks.

Posted: **30 Aug 2011, 09:19**

I sometimes come across the same NZ rugby guy on my commute. He is as strong as an ox and flies along.

Was talking to him about DHBC and was interested in joining after the rugby season is over.

Posted: **30 Aug 2011, 17:38**

I've just spotted someone on Railway St in Chatswood wearing a DHBC jersey but I didn't get a chance to see who it was. I'm quite interested in finding out though as I've only just moved to Chatswood for work and would be interested in knowing his route back to the Inner West!

Posted: **30 Aug 2011, 18:51**

spotted a curly haired younger chap on west st petersham at 4pm. i was too busy steering and chewing gum to attempt to shout out.

I worked in Chatswood for years and know all the routes between Chatswood and the Inner West. However Toff still works that way, so might be able to take you thru some of them.

saw a younger chap this morning in the Alley Brake Cafe Cronulla with the Cheeky Monkey bunch.

Spotted a recumbent trike carrying a DHBC jersey this morning crossing Anzac Pde onto Moore Park Road about 08:40

Posted: **14 Sep 2011, 08:41**

Me and Tim saw Adrian last night, i waved but we were in a car, so he didn't see us

Posted: **14 Sep 2011, 13:08**

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 spend them!

Posted: **14 Sep 2011, 14:02**

yep that's me!
was it @ the pool or in the park?

Posted: **15 Sep 2011, 10:52**

Saw Mike today at Pyrmont returning from his FF class at Nth Sydney. Mentioned something about me being the third DHBC rider he saw on his way through as we passed.

Posted: **15 Sep 2011, 11:16**

Yip, saw Grant, who probably isn't a DHBC'er any more and JBCow

Posted: **15 Sep 2011, 12:18**

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. Respect Jo, it was spitting and cold and miserable. I don't ride in that weather.

Posted: **15 Sep 2011, 12:29**

I was @ the BBQ, it's awesome! $5 get's you all you can eat. and the other bike was my boyfriend's.

Posted: **16 Sep 2011, 13:34**

I worked in Chatswood for years and know all the routes between Chatswood and the Inner West. However Toff still works that way, so might be able to take you thru some of them.

I reckon that was probably me that was spotted. I ride home down Railway street. I actually ride to work a different way to the route I take coming home. I'll probably ride to work on Tuesday, so if you want to come along, I'll show you the best way.

Posted: **18 Sep 2011, 14:12**

I spotted ex president Geoff wearing a wallabies jersey at the end of Marrickville road Dulwich Hill, and wanted to yell abuse out the window!

this was before the game, but I was on the wrong side of the car, and we were too far down the road. Totally cute puppy he was walking though!

(is this like with the president? how do we refer to the president bit? can we still say President Geoff?)

Posted: **18 Sep 2011, 22:24**

Geoff is currently VP.

Posted: **19 Sep 2011, 07:09**

That's appropriate. Which vice?

Simon Strawburger, Anthony??? and myself all rocked up at the same set of traffic lights crossing Parramatta Road at Sloane St this morning.

Posted: **24 Sep 2011, 17:28**

Olivier and Gloria on Wilson Street, Newtown. Gloria - you were riding well, looking good and confident on the roundabout! I was in my car not spottable.

Posted: **24 Sep 2011, 17:42**

Spotted Gi in all his glory at enmore at about 11.15. Rainbow striped Budgies and an aero helmet. Are you pleased to see me or is that a mini pump in your Budgies. Would have yelled spotted but talking a bit of a challenge today!

Posted: **01 Oct 2011, 13:37**

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.

Posted: **01 Oct 2011, 21:45**

I saw Simon today, in his vintage DHBC jersey powering up Housten Road, Kingsford, around 4.30, with a big backpack on. He was riding his fixie as usual.

Posted: **05 Oct 2011, 12:28**

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

Posted: **12 Oct 2011, 19:28**

I saw Aimee on the Bourke Street cycleway. She was on her way to work and we chatted at the lights.

Mike Clement Yesterday 14:15 Afternoon,

I was heading down the king st path heading home to balmain and mike was turning from kent st into king st heading towards george st.

I said "spotted Mike" but as it's been a long time since i've ridden with the club he probably didn't recognise me.

Posted: **14 Oct 2011, 08:40**

Sorry Terry, I spotted you at the last moment and said 'giday' as I manouvered around 2000kg steel objects

Craig Weller at the bottom of the North Sydney steps this morning. I was heading home and he was heading to work.

While we were there, a dude came past on a large wheel unicycle. I asked him if he knew James C, but he didn't

Stuart on Lilyfield Rd looking full of energy after completing the Zeal of Zebras ride.

Posted: **29 Oct 2011, 12:42**

Spotted a female DHBC ride at Homebush this morning at about 7:30am. She had her headphones in, so she probably didn't hear my "Dulwich Hill Spotted!" as we went past.

Posted: **17 Nov 2011, 20:22**

Ended up riding in to the CBD with Strawburger in the pouring rain this morning. Nothing like a soggy gusset first thing in the morning

Posted: **18 Nov 2011, 08:31**

spotted a tall thin streak of red this morning. He was riding downhill passed Lewisham Station. I would have yelled spotted but i was singing to Bananarama at the time and i would have sounded odd.

Douglas

Posted: **18 Nov 2011, 12:25**

If that tall thin person was riding a small wheeled folding bike, it was me.

I wasnt that miserable. Lovely morning. Enjoy enjoy.....

Nope, wasn't you. This Chappie was upon a Road Bike. I am thinking perhaps Colin as he seemed to be a very tall fellow wearing a white or silver Catlike helmet.

yep. i did the ride with RBCC. not as bad as i thought it was going to be.

Posted: **29 Nov 2011, 09:16**

I tried to wake up this morning to ride with RBCC but failed.

Posted: **29 Nov 2011, 09:31**

I sometimes come across the same NZ rugby guy on my commute. He is as strong as an ox and flies along.

Was talking to him about DHBC and was interested in joining after the rugby season is over.

I "Rode with" the ox yesterday morning. As per normal he flew past me on the flat. Somehow i was passing him on the hills. We did this for about 20 mins before we took it easy through Pyrmont. We chatted and found out he had a flu and was taking it easy on the hills

As he has been on one Waterfall ride and intends to do more i guess i can claim the DH spotted!

And i was shattered for the rest of the day after that ride

Posted: **29 Nov 2011, 19:27**

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.

Posted: **29 Nov 2011, 19:38**

The ox rides a red steel bike. I haven't seen it up close so i don't know the brand, it's usually going a lot faster than i am! I'm assuming it's steel, the tubing is thin and has the basic triangles. He said he rode slowies about a month ago.

Posted: **30 Nov 2011, 18:39**

Eleri on ABC1 7pm News. Speaking on behalf of Mission Australia on youth and body image. All fits the bill!

Tell me more Mike!

Posted: **03 Dec 2011, 17:39**

Spotted someone of approximately Mike's build riding down Denison Rd Lewishman at 6.15pm today. Was sitting on my front porch texting Eleri at the time, saying I wasn't going to make it to the the Clarence St Cup tonight to watch Jo, Rhys, Lizanne & the crew go round, when I glanced up to see a flash of red with 4 white circles. Chased them down the side street yelling "SPOTTED" but to no avail. A wonderfully DHBC moment nonetheless.

Who is the mystery rider?

Posted: **03 Dec 2011, 20:29**

Wasn't me

Posted: **05 Dec 2011, 07:00**

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

Posted: **05 Dec 2011, 10:07**

Ted crossing the road in Marrickville on the weekend, with 2 dashing young men

If both young men towered above me, they will have been my sons. Since Lindsay introduced me to the Best Vietnamese Roll Shop in Sydney (Illawarra Road, just near Marrickville Road, the ex-public-toilet) my sons are addicted, and demand to be taken there regularly.

Posted: **05 Dec 2011, 12:56**

Yeh, I figured they were your young men

I dont think any of those are his bike.

The guy that Strawburger and I sometimes come across on the city to Ashfield commute is called Rob.

He is from NZ and rides an aluminium red/white bike.

He is a really nice bloke and he is literally as strong as an ox. He pushes a big gear and flies along. He was keen to ride more DHBC now that the rugby season is over.

Posted: **05 Dec 2011, 21:30**

I called out "spotted first" tonight

Posted: **06 Dec 2011, 09:14**
