Hi All,
Looking for an electrician to do a small job at my house. Can anyone in the club help out? If no takers I'm willing to accept recommendations!

Grades are up. No suprises, we are all in the 66km race starting 11am.
In preparation I've been to the dentist to get the teeth cleaned so I can smile at the sprinters as I go past them on the way up the hill.
Hopefully they can smile back when I get dropped soon after

Re: Training chit chats thread... Revelations, plans, logs e
Basically you have to build your engine for the appropriate task. Riding long slowish kms early in the season builds your endurance. Building top end power reduces your endurance so if you want endurance, slow down a bit.
As a guide, I ride 85% of my time at an endurance level
That's my take on it.

If you have entered in the kurrajong classic then you have entered the race for club riders (grades c&d) a and b is reserved for those who are challenging for state titles.
Only a handful of DHers will be in C. The likes of our NRS folk. The rest will be in D, 2 laps of a 33km course.

Yes, the race no longer starts at the AREC, it's in town so we add an extra 10km in both events I'm pretty sure.
It's windy, usually gusty so bring your Schwarzenegger arms for this one.

Re: Sydney Road Titles - Saturday 06 April 2013
Thanks Mike. I'm not too keen on a crit type race so it sounds like this may be a goer. 40+ km/hr for mmas5! I might have to go through past races to see if the 38km/hr for the 2's was slow or normal.

Re: Sydney Road Titles - Saturday 06 April 2013
Hmmm, thinking of doing this one. Dead flat does not suit me one bit but it could help with sharpening up for other events. What were the conditions like last year? I see mmas2 ran at about 38km/hr, are the corners treated like a crit (ie slow down then accelerate hard) or more like the regional roa...

Don't forget about warranty policies on 2nd hand bikes (ie none) or online sales.

Hi All, This sort of offer doesn't come up often. I waited a year before finding a TT helmet at a reasonable price (got mine 2nd hand). Torpedo7 have a TT helmet (Limar) on sale with free shipping and includes the crucial sticker! http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/LRHLRN9SD/title/limar-speed-demon...

BarangaRing criterium
Flicking through the cycling nsw website and discovered a criterium being held at Barangaroo. Hot dog course, flat as.
I don't remember there being one last year, it could be of interest as its only a handful of kms away... It's on the weekend before b2b

Re: Sunday Bunches - Do you like this possible option?
Is there any feedback from the fast middies out there about why they don't ride with the fasties? Too fast? Too intimidating? There used to be a policy of invite only going back maybe 5 years ago(?). Not sure if that policy still exists. I believe that was in place for safety reasons (assessment of...

Re: Sunday Bunches - Do you like this possible option?
To support Christian and Dougie, this is the exact reason why the bunches reversed their order a few years ago, to support those riders who get dropped and to encourage riders to transition to the faster group. Not long ago we had 3 groups, fasties went first and there was hesitation from stronger r...
