Great report Tim! I just love the pictures, especially Marilyn on a pole. Nice work on the track Jessica!

I'm off home to cook some spaghetti.

Camilla

Here's mine. I just posted it in another thread but it seems more at home here. Tandem +1:

Camilla

It's not actually mine - I don't have enough people to put on it! One I took last month in The Netherlands. Commuting Dutch style!

Camilla

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually want in. This MTB thing is not going to get the better of me! And this looks like a nice one. Thing is I wanted to ride the individual pursuit next year and given it was on March 14 last year I fear another clash. Anyone know when the new track calenda...

Camilla

Lizanne comes up to Hugh's nipples! Timbo - I'll contribute to Kevin for you, in thanks for my Sydney-Bundanoon trip, for which I remain eternally grateful. No way would I have been able to make it on the Sunday if I'd had to ride into that wind on the Saturday. I'll see Kevin at the track and it se...

Camilla

But where are the photos of you TODAY Chidgey, sans glorious mane?

More than happy to throw a few dollars in for the drivers. Great to have our stuff carted (and, at moments, our persons).

Camilla

So, only 80% of DHBC riders broke bones at the 2010 Scott.

Correction: 80% didn't break bones. Although I still don't consider 1 in 5 a great stat, I didn't mean to put people off quite that much!

Camilla

Just got my x-rays back. All clear! The ribs are just sprained and bruised, but as I'm in no immediate danger of tearing a lung I shall keep calm and carry on. (However I do reserve the right to whimper going up hills on the fixie century this Sunday). I didn't get to find out my resting heart rate,...

Camilla

That's not 100% accurate. I rolled over the line for Lindsay after he did his final lap. He didn't go through transition and went for a shower instead, because we had to wait until after 11.15 to record a time. No way we either of us doing another lap! (Going through I saw something like 11 hours fl...

Camilla

Ouch! Christian, you were not kidding! John - did you do a rib? And there I was lying in my pile of pointy rocks on the "velocity" track in the dark, half wishing I'd broken a bone so that I could be heli-vacced out rather than have to complete the next 8 km of the loop (cheers to absolute...

Camilla

Did Ted seriously win some wheels? He'll be very upset not to have been able to claim them (and donate them back to the club). And when you say Kevin "missed out" on the bike, I hope that you meant because he was a number off rather than not being there to take possession! Great work every...

Camilla

I'll take a lift Timbo, if it's still going!

Camilla

The only good thing about being sick this week is that I've been couch-ridden so caught just about every second of every race. Exciting stuff! I was particularly taken with Vos's hissy fit after coming 2nd for the 4th time running. You have to feel for her though: that Georgia girl (boy?) came from ...

Camilla

Ted & I are driving down Friday morning.

Meanwhile, I've had to cancel my LWE touring plans with Mark & Amy on the grounds I'm too sick. But I hope to be better by Monday. Anyone fancy doing the Oaks or something? I should probably get a better handle on this MTB thing before next weekend.

Camilla

Thanks Mike! I'll drop a discreet package around to your place in the next few days. I've got your mobile now so will ring before coming. Have to fish that hair dryer and foot spa out first ... Looking forward to it! Except perhaps the bit about "really early" and Maccas. Presumably by the...

Camilla

Hey all, I've been thinking, I really don't fancy carrying a back-pack, no matter how small. The scoliosis just doesn't like it and I'll be in pain within 30 minutes. Any reason I couldn't ride my Trek flat bar roadie? It's not as light and nippy as my Teschner but it's set up for touring. It sudden...

Camilla

I've just had a message off the web that someone had their Cannondale stolen. A caffeine F2 in black. The person in question reckons the thieves were organized and had been watching for a few days. It was stolen from a secured underground garage. Let's hope there's not a crew out there trawling for ...

Camilla

I'm in, with the train home option on Monday night (pending approval from Ted). Need to work off my Belgium beer excesses.

Camilla

I know someone who'd happily take that off your hands: Ted's worried about Mt Buffalo and talking a special Alpine Classic cassette but I reckon just the 28 ought to do it.

Camilla

Yeah! I'm totally there. Nothing can stop me this time. I'll be fresh of the plane from Amsterdam at 8am and surely no one can put anything in my way in that timeframe!

Camilla

Why don't I pick you up Vic? At, say, 9.30. After the traffic (& a sleep in).

Or if you prefer to catch the ferry I'll come with you. Could turn into a long day though. Which I don't mind but may not be great for RAW. Which I was faintly thinking of coming to as well. Have to get my score off 0!

Camilla

I could do Friday. That'd be great. So long as by morning you don't mean 6am? Maybe we could even do 2 laps this time! I just assumed you had a car Megan! To be honest, you probably had a far better time of it than us. Amy & I had the most horrendous traffic on the way back. I had a thumping hea...

Camilla

I'm down for the 200. We'll have quite the DHBC crew going! And Eleri's right Jo - lots of cruisy downhills.

Camilla

It was brilliant fun! I learnt so much over that 10km. Pity some of the more technical descents were at the begining, before I had much of an idea of what to do: aim the bike, hang on, and let it go! I'm considering getting back out there sometime this week to consolidate but am guessing everyone el...

Camilla

Fantastic! I'm perfectly fine with a sleep in too. I was intending on it in fact. What time then? I guess we just meet in the car park bit at the end of King Street? And do you want me to come to yours and pick up the Giant Vic? Perhaps if I got it earlier in the week I could fit it with pedals and ...

Camilla

Hey all MTB afficionados, Amy and I are thinking of doing Manly Dam this Saturday to learn a little about the fine art before the Scott 24. Any takers? You can give us a few pointers/have a good laugh at our expense (mine anyway). Oh and does anyone have a spare bike? (Vic?) I'm borrowing Lindsays b...

Camilla

I'd love to be coming, but will be away. All the good stuff seems to be happening in September this year!

Camilla

I vote for prioritising and making it October 14! It'll be worth it for everyone else just to see me attempt the 10 km descent down Macquarie Pass on vintage, single pivot brakes (with regulation very thick pads, even if the rubber is as old as the metal). Besides, Wagga's 6 hours drive away and fre...

Camilla

Easily the hottest thing in this club! I drooled on it.

I didn't know that Vic. But understandable: I can only guess your drool got lost amongst mine, and became part of the overall desirable shiney patina.

Camilla

Can people please stop planning EVERYTHING for September, while I'm away. What's wrong with August!? Or even late September, when I'm back? I've got the fixie now and all ... Probably we'll have an omnium when I'm away too. That's a lot of people I'll have to stab.

Camilla

I'm not sure where we're at with this, and if I'm too late to have my 2 cents worth. I love the design you put up Chidgey. The 3 stipes are really fetching, especially with the thicker one in the middle. Only suggestion I'd have is for the sides; "Saturday Slowies" I'm all for, but I recko...

Camilla

Stuart! Brillaint photos! Thanks so much! Even I look like I mean business. I especaily love that frontal of Jo half way through the race. Really stunning stuff.

Camilla

Yeah! I don't want to battle my fellow DHBC ladies! I want set myself against those 3 women in my own division with snazzy deep rims that beat me.

Camilla

And props to Adam and Stuart, two of the few men with multitasking talents: domestique + photographer. All effort, help and encouragement was much appreciated. Agony shots perhaps not.

Camilla

That was one of the funnest days in the saddle ever! And I've had some fun days in the saddle. Being first DHBC cab off the rank I wasn't there to see everyone come in, but I saw a fair few people take off (timyone minus sunnies - did your eyeballs get sunburnt?). I reckon us Masters Ladies did pret...

Camilla

Nooooo! I said last night that I could finally make it to an omnium, but I can't! I have a stupid work lunch on in Bowral. I doubt I'll even get back in time for the BBQ.

I want to stab something. Or someone.

Camilla

Goody. I get to go first in my group and chase the young'uns, with all those multi-sponsored ladies of my own age group hot on my wheels. This isn't going to be embarrassing at all!

Anyone got some aero bars lying about that I can borrow?

Camilla

This is a real chance for the Lady's to take medals. Each age category is shown separately.

And its downhill...

Not for me! There are 6 ladies in my category already and only 2 of us don't have additional sponsorship. Plus I prefer uphill.

Camilla

Excellent! Now to borrow a MTB and learn how to ride it ... easy!?

Camilla

Come on Vic. I'll do it if you do. I need an excuse to get out to that part of the world anyway - I have a wolf-daughter there that I barely see. And an 11am start! how sweet is that!

Camilla

I was hoping we in fact went half way and turned back at the 10km mark. I think are few climbs are required to keep everyone honest.

Camilla

But is it the out-going leg or the return leg for those of us just doing the 20km? Makes something of a difference...

Camilla

I'm in!

Camilla

Extremely Jealous. I had Mudgee very firmly pencilled it but it turns out I'll be at farm. I won't even be able to do any secret training because the roads will be covered in snow, black ice, cars and drunken ski hooligans! Ride well everyone. And I can recommend the Lawson Park Hotel for accommodat...

Camilla

Seems the elite women racing in the Masters teams are in fact of Masters age but have elite licences. Except Randwick Botany, which is an amalgamation of 2 teams after 4 members pulled up sick. 2 of those are genuine elite riders but CNSW felt sorry for them. So Amy, if someone gets the sniffles tom...

Camilla

And the programme, with exact start times: http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/cy_nsw/races/2010/10150/program.pdf And now I'm about to make a gently inquisitive phonecall to CNSW. There are women's Masters teams in there with elite members. Exactly what we were told we couldn't do! Not that we don't love...

Camilla

I just read my first tweet! I feel a little dirty.

Camilla

Already planning on doing Beaumont Rd on Monday. Hoping there's a D grade... Go for C grade Orphic. Jo and I did E at Beaumont a while back and there ended up being only 4 of us so we had to tag onto the back of C, but weren't actually allowed to get amongst them. It was ridiculous! With a serious ...

Camilla

Looks like my days as the fastest red-haired archaeologist in Australian cycling may be over.

Um...hello? What about that other person in your house? You know, the one you sometimes wake up next to?

Awesome concept, following Hannibal on a bike. Even better if you can get the BBC to pay for it!

Camilla

There are really cheap tickets to Byron and Cairns around at the moment ...

Camilla

I love the idea of having a 'Saturday Slowies' hat. Not only would I be proud to wear one, but a significant number of our members ride Saturdays only. They're just as committed as the rest of us and an important element of DHBC. I'd like to honour what is actually quite a unique facet of our club. ...

Camilla

September is far too far away. If it comes to that we can always have 2 tours. And I'm not camping in winter. I'm sure there are a plethera of cheap dodgy pubs and caravan parks along the way that we can avail ourselves of. Places that will also have FOOD (and red wine and scotch to keep us warm if ...

Camilla

I'm interested irrespective of school holidays, number of days or kilometers per days, just so long at the leading citizens of each town en route give us cream buns! And I want to go to the Dubbo zoo. And see that little animated woman in the Cowra museum who wanders about in the display cases. And ...

Camilla

The commentary is the best bit! "Aaaallllmost lost it." To be honest, if it's judged by the first wheel to go over the white line and not the first wheel to hit it, then I think he did. My first road race and I enjoyed every second! I'm keen to do more. Next time hopefully with the pack ra...

Camilla

Thanks everyone, I'm sorted for a lift now. Jo - I think you're brave enough riding today. Alex - it's ok, I'm pretty sure there's a homeless guy who sleeps in my car during foul weather. I don't begrudge him the comfort, but it doesn't always do much for the general aroma.

Camilla

Anyone got room in their car for me? I'm quite small. My bike is regular size though and he'd need a spot too. Since Jo is refusing to HTFU I am left without a driving buddy but I'm not keen to go solo. My first real road race and 'll I need some moral support! Navigating and working myself into a p...

Camilla

Back Sunday 23. After that I'm pretty free so organize any training you like and I'll be there.

Gutted about the reunion though.

Camilla

2 things: If you've got a school reunion on in Gosford Jo, I can think of no better way than celebrating our efforts than we all go. I'm happy to call myself Tracey for the evening and pretend I was so nerdy that everyone has simply forgotten who I am. I can pull of a pretty good head of AV club if ...

Camilla

Love the pink Victoria! You're man enough.

Might require a wardrobe re-think of course...

Camilla

Oh oh! I totally want mine. But I'm going away so won't be at the track in the next 2 weeks. Please hang onto mine for me.

Camilla

The soon-to-be-formed Women's Masters team are going to have a crack at this too. A lead up to the team TT. So it's Jo, Michele, me and the yet-to-be-announced 4th member. It'll be great to have a few DHBC teams out there.

Camilla

OK, I so need a mtb. I so want to do this with next year with you guys. It just sounds like way too much fun. And I'm having a crack at the canoe bridge - I'd rather fall off it in spectacular style than wade it.

Camilla

Come on Eleri! You'd love it! Bike shenanigans galore! And anyway, isn't that new bike of yours almost ready? That would be race legal for sure?

Camilla

Christian, does that mean you're bringing a rotting shark?

Sadly, I'm going to my farm the day before so won't be able to make it. Fantastic idea Simon! I'm almost tempted to put my trip off.

Camilla

Lindsay, in his infinite kindness, has agreed to do rollers early tonight before the AGM. So we're starting at 6.45 and ending at 7.30 in time for the 8pm meeting.

Camilla

5 days later and I still have razorblade-throat and haven't been on a bike. I was in the thick of it though, at the door of the ladies loo. Oddly enough, inside the toilets themselves it smelt like relative paradise. Why I hung out there in the fug and persisted I don't know. To test the limits of m...

Camilla

aaah! I really want to come, but I suspect I am not: a) going to be strong enough (and don't give me the you'll be fine Camilla, just have a glass of red - I've been quite sick after sucking in the hell that was last Thursday in the roller room, and before then wasn't exactly on the razor's edge any...

Camilla

Is it just me, or did anyone else up sick after rollers last Thursday night? I don't think breathing in all the human (?) excrement was all that healthy. Plus I haven't been able to ride all weekend!

Camilla

a meat tray?

Camilla

I can't believe about about to say this, but I think I'm keen. Something about Chubb's description gripped me.

Camilla

I know Jimmy flagged it as a crazy action, but why are we all debating the technicalities of the rules when the real question is: WHY can't he be bothered spending $1000????!! Mike, you 3 times winner of the school raffle, you've got nothing on me. I win EVERYTHING that doesn't require paid entry. E...

Camilla

A tribute to our organizers. Thanks James and Stretch! James and his Willie Warmer http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww130/camnorma/Mudgee%202009/Southern%20Highlands%20Jan%202010/Tassie%202010/Tassie2010014.jpg Stretch approaching to Blue Shed http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww130/camnorma/Mudg...

Camilla

You mean one with an Eleri-shaped depression in it?

Camilla

And I think we're forgetting another favourite food stop. Was for me anyway, after lugging 2 bottles of wine up that unexpected hill. Pity of them neither actually belonged to me... http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww130/camnorma/Mudgee%202009/Southern%20Highlands%20Jan%202010/Tassie%202010/Tassie...

Camilla

By popular demand, Eleri's patented dismount technique:

Camilla

Hi EMT,

Ted and I get in on the Virgin flight at 11.15. What time do you arrive? We'll try and meet to make sure you don't get into any problems with the bike/finding your way to the Evandale pub!

Camilla

You can wash clothes every night - sometimes even in a machine! But you'll run into problems if your knicks don't dry overnight. 2 pairs are better.

Camilla

I should read the mountain bike thread more often! I haven't laughed so much in ages! Anyone got a spare MTB, because I'd love to join you. Looks seriously fun. And when I look into my deep dark cycling past, I'm pretty sure plummeting down slippery spinifex studded hills on something I purloined of...

Camilla

If you put it on Saturday March 6 I promise to make 2 cakes! It's my birthday. Which means you'll all have to let me win the wheel race. And I'll want Simon S to make one of those embarrassing announcements, like when you're 13 at the ice-skating rink, and maybe dedicate a song to me. Maybe somethin...

Camilla

Nah, I'm out. I'll only have got back from Tassie the week before and I really haven't been on a track bike much since the Christmas Carnival. I was quite surprised last week at how much power (which isn't much to start with, given who we're talking about) I'd lost, in getting endurance back over th...

Camilla

Have a look here: http://www.burnie.net/html/981_1964.htm Among other places, there's a caravan park with cabins listed. Mmm pig and onion. There's a whole range of hostels and caravan parks listed on the Devonport site too http://www.devonporttasmania.travel/index.html It all looks very pretty. I'm...

Camilla

It's funny, but I never thought about it before this thread. And when I did, I couldn't say what my longest ride had been, or how long it was. I remember an epic day with Toff and Adrian once (last Australia day perhaps) that saw us start off from Mick Mazza's with the plan of doing the 3 gorges, bu...

Camilla

Now I'm a bit scared.

Camilla

Sorry, missed it. And I'm not keen on the $20 late fee. Not today. I just found out I'm either going to have to throw money at Pedro to get him road-worthy for Tassie, or buy a whole new bike.

Camilla

That new route looks good T-bone. Can't wait for the Cradle Mountain ride. It'll be interesting to compare it to the one we did on Saturday out of Kangaroo Valley, which Miguel's Garmin told us was an average of 12%. I'm not sure how many kms though. About 100.

Camilla

The Northwest with a Cradle Mountain option sounds fantastic T-Bone. I'm all for it. Huw! Fantastic that you're coming! Is Selga able to get away too? Did I read somewhere you'd put on weight - oh the drafting possibilities! No camping for me thanks. I'm not against it in principal, just not this ti...

Camilla

Can I be the bringer of evil dissent: why don't we scotch current plans and go for the middle ground, so that we can all ride together? (Sorry T-Bone, I know the trouble you've already gone to). It just occurs to me that of the group going, at least half are not going to be thrilled with the hills. ...

Camilla

That was indeed heaps of fun! So many memorable moments, right from the start that was almost the end: the sight of a car speeding towards Christian as he flew through the round-a-bout down from Woolies in Marrickville. Luckily we were all wearing our brown knicks. Thanks to Vic and Lindsay for orga...

Camilla

What if it's raining tomorrow? Do we just push through it? It occurs to me of the group going, I've only got Lindsay & Jess's numbers. Christain, Vic - are you going to rollers tonight? We should exchange details. And Miguel? Do you have contact details for anyone? If not PM me.

Camilla

We've got a professor from Montreal working with us in Sydney for the next 4 months or so. He's interested in acquiring a bike to get around. Does anyone have something hanging around he could borrow, or know where he could get a cheap one? Pre-loved would be fine. Here's the kicker: he's about 6 fo...

Camilla

Does anyone know if Huw and Selga are coming this year? Not only does Huw need to defend his title, but I need him to sit behind in a headwind!

Camilla

I've had an email exchange with Di Sullivan over the past 2 days and she tells me numbers are a bit low for some of the races this year, such as the Novice Race. It occurs to me that people probably haven't put their entrance forms in yet. Just Amy, Jessica & Vic will probably double the entries...

Camilla

Perhaps Camilla should get to work on making her own red wine gels? Over 92km she might need a few of them...

What? Are there no pubs along the way? No one told me that! How am I possibly expected to beat Tim now?

Camilla

I think you did the right thing Amy. I just checked, and the exact same flights I booked last night would now cost me $50 more.

Camilla

I just booked plane tickets for Ted and myself. We're on Virgin Blue both ways: the 9.30 flight on Sat 13 down and the 3.25pm on Sun 21 return. $300 each including baggage. Not a great deal, but the best I could do given that we both need to be back for work on the Monday and refuse to fly Jetstar. ...

Camilla

Nice job on the maps Orphic. That is one sexy elevation for day 2! Dare I ask our day 3 plans? Are we still going via the century route?

Camilla

Concerning the Bundanoon accommodation, I'm a bit poor at the moment too (have been overspending on my cycling habit - all these trips & entrance fees add up, not to mention the new frame!) I'm happy to share a lesser room with Jess. But am not too fussed either way. Also, and I know you're not ...
