Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

I went with my son on Sunday afternoon and we enjoyed ourselves. While it was mostly elimination sprint the highlight for us was the Madison. It was both chaos and theatre and yet you could still work out what was happening. What was really interesting was to watch the Madison from the top of one of...

Ah down hills, the only time I get to overtake everyone.

mcrkennedy

Huw a great result. The bloke on the Hillbrick sounds like the people Fouad ran into in Sutherland who also had the view that you need to be considerably more senior to be a member of Dulwich Hill. It is either that or we all just age well! You are looking good for 58!!

Hi

Is this ride listed on the social pages on the club site still happening and if so is it on the 23rd ( a friday) or is on that weekend ie the 25th. I assume that the 24th would be no good due to the election.

Just a quick report on two races I did this weekend. I raced on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was the Lidcombe- Ashfield Cycle Club's Spring into Summer series race 4.It was held at the Tennis Centre at SOP. It was a standard criterium race of 30 mins +2 and a big field. I raced in D grade with abou...

Good report Weiyun.

I found that two days in bed with virus was not the best preperation. Both Weiyun and Michael L were very supportive in their waiting for me at the top of hill etc and it was great to ride in together.

Next year I have to do the return ride as well.

mcrkennedy

Go Dulwich Hill. I know that you will give it your best.
Look forward to the race report.

I think you have to take the teams into consideration. Over the last 9 years we have seen how important teams are to winning. Evans may have had Horner who in his own right had a wonderful Tour finishing 10th I think and Coni. Horner however was no Popovich or Menchov. And even these super domestics...

Well done Michael and Frank!!!

btw: How many people were there in C grade last week? The number seem to be dropping from across the grades.

Adrian

There seemed to be about 15 to 20 each in B and C and about 15 in A but no A elite ( I assume they were racing at SOP the next day)

Saturday was a warm and windy day with strong winds blowing both in a southerly and northerly direction at the same time or so it seemed. You seemed to ride into the wind on the pimples out the back and then into the wind going down the straight! There were only two red devils racing Frank Campbell ...

SBS have announced that they have the free to air rights for the tour plus other races such as Paris-Roubaix for the next 5 years. Looks like more late nights next year!!

I have got my start time. It is 6.45 am.

Are we going to have a team photo?

mcrkennedy

This photo is definitely a classic. Michael, will I get fired if I print it out and post it on the whiteboard in your work area?

No, but I will make sure that you never leave continuous improvement!

Obviously that is the before photo

Grant

I have done my fair share of sporting team BBQ so I am happy to help with that on the 4th. I assume we are talking banger and onions etc.

Cont me in for $50. I wil not be at a club ride till the first weekend in October if you can wait till then.

mcrkennedy

So is this happening? If so I am in or otherwise I will ride to Waston Bay.

My team is called team tammie

Its an Alex rim with a machiend grove in the braking surface to tell you when the braking wall is starting to thin out. That grove is starting to disappear.

mcrkennedy

Hi folks I would love some advice. I need to get a new front wheel. the rim is going on the current front wheel. My options seem to be: 1.Replace the current rim with something better like an Open Pro and keep the current hub that is working ok, however it is the Felt stock hub and I am not sure how...

Credibility is back for the Tour. 3 cheers! I agree that is does restore credibilitiy. It would have been better if the UCI and the Danes had acted sooner and told ASO about it at the time. In the end Russmussen is being kicked out for lying nor doping. Cycling is going through a lot of pain at the...

mcrkennedy

Hi Michael, heard you were sick, hence not seeing you on the road lately. Hows it going, are you better? Cheers Mike. Hi Michael I am ok, more recurring rugby injury in my neck and shoulder. I think I am ready to get on the road again so will try this weekend. Not Waterfall though! Tahnks for askin...

mcrkennedy

I agree with Simon and Grant.

mcrkennedy

Yes it was a sad day, however I think that both Rogers and O'Grady have handled it in true Aussie spirit (what ever that is). I read that Roger's comment was that he really had nothing to complain about as crashes are a part of racing. O'Grady was thanking the pole he hit as it may have saved his li...

Hi folks I am on a email list from CTS which includes a stage by stage anaylsis of the Tour. The analysis from stage 10 which Vesseur won in a small bunch sprint is I think really good. It can be found at http://www.trainright.com/articles.asp?uid=2604 Or here is the actual article: Professor Vasseu...

I don't think the Astana boys will actually do it. Vino is too undisplined to command respect for the whole of the three weeks. He is more likely to ruin Kolden's chances if Kolden stay his loyal lieutenant. If Vino go off attacking and can't take his troops with him then I think the other Astana ri...

The lastest edition of Australian Cyclist has the picture of James on his Penny that is used on our website. It is part of an article on the National Penny Farthing Championships on page 13.

Ah parenthood. There is two ways to look at it the galss half full or half empty. I took the half full approach of I have more important and better priorities, put the family first and then did what I really wanted to do in my more limited own time. The past is timely as I had just come on to ask qu...

mcrkennedy

At this stage sound good to me

mcrkennedy

I think that James has hit the nail on the head. The issue as I see as one of the not so strong riders is not where we ride or how long or how hard but why we ride as a club. I assume that that we ride with the club for the commardarie etc as well as for training. There are a number of riders on Sun...

Also Continential GP400 for $39 and Rudy Project Jackel glasses for about $80.

As discussed else where the position on the Sunday Club ride and how we react to other bunches

mcrkennedy

James

It great to hear from you that you are OK.

I was thinking about your assigment after our conversation early on Sunday. Glad to see you got an extension, however it would be easier to just ask your lecturer next time.

What is the street address of Herb Greedy Hall Marrickville?

I will dig out the mag and put the test result on this topic.

Michael

mcrkennedy

Personally i believe the Ultegra cranks are lighter and Stiffer than the FSA Gossamers that come with the Cervelo, however the FSA's should do fine until it comes time for an upgrade. You are right James. In Ride #31 (Spring 2006) there was a test of 12 leading cranks for lateral rigidity and the U...

I am glad Lindsay got this back on topic, it was beginning to read like an IT users forum and I was completely lost.

Must say that $19 does sound good even if the design does sux.
