I guess that's why G offered to pay for your coffee when you were leaving!

Well, I was willing to sponsor his whole breaky even though he wasn't in pink budgy smugglers, but he wouldn't let me. He said he ate a lot!

G

What about a bike that's on sale, i.e. 2009 stock and it'll be complete? That way you get a good warranty. There are a few good brands out there that have life-time warranties on their carbon frames too! Also, because of the economic change, 2010's bikes are cheaper still!!! Food/bikes for thought....

G

Bike building is hardly rocket science. If you are handy and delicate with your hands, you'll have no trouble putting a nice bike together. The key issue is compatibility ie. All the components have compatible spec. The other hard part is to get the costing right. About compatibility, I was wonderi...

I had a duathlon last Sunday, and had an opportunity to see some serious triathletes in action. They use kick ass TT bikes to their advantage, and speaking to them I found that a bike like those can cut down something like 15 minutes over a 90km cycling leg of HIM triathlon. I looked at the pricing ...

G

I'm looking into joining Sydney CC. I've confirmed they don't have any budgie smuggler wearing members.

Wot's Sydney CC?

G

'Tis but an attempt at humour, given the frequent jibes one hears about the ... erm ... appreciation that folks of all genders often express about budgie smugglers :D I don't know wot kind of appreciation you have been hearing, but in the words of a lady from our club, any fit guy would look heaps ...

G

Oh well, I guess this time next week we'll be an all-male club ...

lolz... why would you make such a strange guess?

G

Hi all, wearing my Publicity Officer's hat, I want to put out a big, bold press release announcing our likely very strong result* in RAW. An essential element of that release will be some photos, but sadly I cannot make it to Dunc Gray this week to do it myself. So ... can anyone get a few shots fo...

G

Oh good. The very scary pictures are not up yet. Not looking forward to those flashes of yellow!

Hey Toff, this is just for you

G

Well done to Julian and Peter who came out this morning for a jaunt through the park. Especially well done to Julian, who despite having been sick, put in some hard yakka on the front, and then hit the wall in spectacular fashion after Flat Rock Creek, but still struggled on to the Top of Waterfall...

G

Today I started with the middies, got to the servo at sutho's and decided that I couldn't be assed going all the way to waterfall and back. This thread is just to say that I got home alright as I didn't tell any one that I was pulling out. In hindsight I should have at least told someone that I was...

G

that is to funny, i think you should turn this into a yearly event. it would also be a good way to work on our great tan lines we get as cyclists. Yearly is too less. Maybe once every three months will be go0d to add a bit of fun to the weekend rides. Hope to have more participation for the next bu...

G

Does this qualify to be called crazy?

G

Tim, she's only going to appreciate how sexy you look. The other women were telling me how impressed they were from you. Bigup yourself mate. While Tim and I were enjoying our freedom, some people were involved in strange monkey business: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3933711780_5b44d8ea9c.jpg

G

Oh good. The very scary pictures are not up yet. Not looking forward to those flashes of yellow!

Look who's eagerly waiting for them! lolz

... more to come

G

... I think I've left something on the stove...

Wot?

G

Thanks for the warning G. Will re-route my Sat am ride.

Don't worry mate. It will be g0od fun. Best if JamesC turns up on his uni cycle in budgy smugglers. Don't forget to bring your camera ayei?

G

In the tomorrow's slowies ride to CP I will wear budgy smugglers to see how comfortable it is to ride in them in aero position, as I might be doing my triathlon in them. Just so that others don't feel left out, here's an offer to consider: For the CP ride this Saturday, if you turn up in budgy smugg...

G

we may have been last but we finally made it.
David

It's not you! It's me!

I was the last one to reach the cafe. Big up yourself Dave, it was a good effort from you yesterday.

G

you need moustache and accent to get away with that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu9kCXPdNSI

I have both - a moustache and an accent

G

You can do it at least 3 times a month and the Renegades ride on Saturdays if you want extras. JamesC would look after you and transform you into a strong climber by summer's end!

The mountain climb

G

Why did two riders broke away and then stopped at a service station? That's very strange thing to do. Anyways! On my way back I went straight home, left my bike and did a 10km transition run. I tried to catch you guys at marrickville cafe after the run but most of you had left. Peter thought I forgo...

Guys, girls and crazy people I am excited about this cycling event tomorrow. Although it starts from 6pm, I will reach there around 8pm after my swimming squads. Since you maybe going early, if you have any questions/issues wotsoever, you may contact gorgeous Jess (m#: 0409.490.711) and mention you ...

G

Wot? No comments? Come on guys! Didn't you drop your jaw when you saw him riding that thing? We gotta give recognition to James for his spirit?

G

There are many crazy riders in the club. This thread is to give them the respek for their craziness.

Let me start with crazy James, for wot he was riding today morning. Any comments?

G

Geoff, Adrian
Will be good to see you guys there.

G

I think we commonly call that the Artillary Hill climb. I am surprised you didn't complain about the Waterfall climb in your Audley-Waterfall loop. The top of that climb hits 12%. Wow! Didn't know about that. That's because I never came across the waterfall climb I guess. Instead of turning right t...

G

10-12km/hr up that hill is pretty solid. That is about what I manage to do. I also know that hill so, I know where the top is, it is pretty soul destroying as you tend to see a corner approaching thinking that it is the top, only to find that it turns and keeps going, and it does it about three tim...

G

Which way did you do it? In at Audley or in at Waterfall? When I do it with the quick riders we typically average around the 30km/hr mark, there would be some leeway in this depending on how quick you climb the hills. James Did it Audley in. I was doing about 10-12km/hr in that seemingly endless Au...

G

Did a solo RNP yesterday. The climb at Audley is a killer. It doesn't end so quick! I want to do it again

G

Karen, you can be the commissar

This is my prediction

Hill Climb - Lindsay - excellent balance not to big
Flying 20 - Amy - quad dominate bmx rider, small
333 time trail - Christian - if I have to explain that, then you don't know Christian.

Lindsay is actually quite big!

G

BTW G, do you have a leg length discrepancy? Or didn't you stretch your left leg properly during the headstand? If so, that's a 0.5 technical point deduction.

None of the above. The floor is inclined to one side, and Michael was whinging about it.

G

not good enough you can't see G's face

lolz... trust me micklan, I haven't seen my face since puberty!

G

This is what I want to know.

Every time I meet G in person, he always looked so relaxed and friendly. But every photo of him...

Every photo?!

G

Lol man I look so peaceful in comparison

LOL! Just ask around who looks like a violent skinhead ha

G

Who's going to be the fixie rider?

We can have a monkey bike rider instead?!

Let's get creative, and compose a song for DHBC/cycling theme

If we can comeup with g0od lyrics, we can make a video with some interesting characters/singers in our club, and it can be a hit!

G

Shame it coincides with the Port Macquarie Half Ironman. Why do all the interesting events on earth take place on a single day?

G

I used to get bad bad excruciating knee pain on long rides. Lowering seat by just 1cm cured it. Never had it since then

G

interesting hey, ive been drinking chocolate milk after most riding now any way but yeah, looks like its mainly pro riders.

Strange!? Running doesn't sweat out calcium but cycling does?

http://www.sheldonbrown.com/real-man.html

Ouch!!!!

G

In yesterday's waterfall ride, my seat got loose and slipped back and pointed upward. Riding the bike like that left me with a numb/sore arse, and a feeling that it is not good to ride like that. I wouldn't mind spending on a good seat that could save my fertility. But does expensive seat means it i...

G

as far as a heavier rider moving through the wind better, that is probably because of momentum p=mv momentum = mass x velocity once you are moving, it is harder to stop. But, a bigger rider would present a larger profile to the wind, and wind resistance is measured by a=kvv (if I remember my 4 unit...

G

Yip, its all about wind resistance to weight ratio.

A good aero position will make a significant difference and in your case a full body waxing may help

Hi people! Just wanted to share that there are hundreds of bikes and other stuff will be auctioned at the Central Railway Station on 21st July 2009. You may get dirt cheap deals on the stuff. http://www.pickles.com.au/general/onsite-auction/?contentId=1517 http://www.pickles.com.au/digitalAssets/92/...

G

They are about the seat height. Should I have a shorter stem?

G

Weiyun, T-Bone, thanks for your advise

G

TT bars restrict maneuverability and is not safe to use in traffic and not permitted in bunches. They are good for TT and TT alone. If you take a look at the recent ITT at the Giro, because of the difficult course, many riders opted to go with regular drop bar rather than dedicated TT bikes. Yea I ...

G

It's an expensive and involved conversion but works well IF you have a dedicated TT bike. If not, then staying with clip-on TT bars will keep your bike more versatile.

I don't have a dedicated TT bike, but would a TT bar make the road bike less versatile?

G

G'day everyone I have been advised to practice with TT bars for an upcoming triathlon. I was recommended not to just put the clip-on aero bars on normal ho0d and drop bars of my road bike, but put the tri bar that don't have drops http://www.tri-1st.co.uk/triathlon/images/products/eastonattackbar.jp...

G

^That's a very flash bike Tim!
Also loved your motorbike drag pics. One day I will also take my bike to see how much it clocks for a quarter mile.
