This ones for Tim. Jens had me cracking up

LOL -

micklan

Yeh, the plan went perfectly. After pulling the group off the front, I rolled back to the bunch to try to get on the front of it, but they weren't having none of that and rolled past me. The bunch left George to do all of the chasing. It was great to watch - professional even, I like those team tra...

micklan

There was no male B grade - we all started in A grade (due to an administrative oversight)

B grade was made up of female riders only.

micklan

These are great results fellas. I'm seriously thinking of a full training program to get back some flare... oh and to keep up too

micklan

Thanks very much for the information Weiyun. I may try the LBS for a quick tighten up - if that fails I'll purchase the part. thanks again for the links and info.

regards
Michael

micklan

Thanks for the input...
I've discovered I don't even have an allen key big enough to get the crank off to check the taper.
Confirm - spindle is loose, Its Centaur thus I will need to slip down to LBS on Sat I'd say to get a new cartridge.

cheers
Michael

micklan

Dsicovered quite a bit of movement in bottom bracket - simply this should need a tighten up - having recently serviced the Europa I'm a little concerned it may be wear -

Any thoughts - could it be wear - or just needs a tighten up?

thanks

micklan

Photo accessed from http://www.Actionsnaps.com.au thanks David Lane. This great RAW Week 3, Div 4 snap from Action Snaps actually has 6 DHBC riders in view, in order: - Micklan - Ian D - Mike Chidgey - John? - Shaun - the Toff up high accelerating... http://www.actionsnaps.com.au/images/zoom/PYYKRM/...

James M completed a very nice exit on the back S's into the bush, adeptly using a sapling as a lean-to on coming to a halt in the jungle.

Several ducks were around. It was cold, but sunny. I saw 1 of Alex R's sprints, very impressive.

There was A grade and B grade only this week

micklan

oops - that was me, its mine

If you would wheel ur bike instead of carrying it then you can carry a pump

or you could hire some monkeys - like M. Jackson had, bubbles 3 etc

micklan

Thanks for the heads up Webiemaster :shock: I understand the distinction on uploads now I actually ordered a few on Sunday - including this beauty: Thanks again to David Lane @ http://www.actionsnaps.com.au (BTW: Webiemaster I will now not use your french food photos to promote my cooking) http://i2...

micklan

I was thinking of coming along for that RNP ride, for the hills practice...but in the end went with the middies of 7 Maybe the times quoted on the website are not so sustainable in winter - numbers wise? Alan, Anthony and James M, left the middies of 7, at pace, after Sutherland climb to highway (yo...

micklan

there were a couple of new riders on Waterfall ride today....i 'd say a sprinter and enduro rider both on 11 speed racers - we need Tim to convert them

micklan

me, im away 3 or 4 week not sure.

no problems about the tow Mick we'll call it even

lol - we could run a tow truck business

micklan

OK I saw Ron (Sutho Park) coming back, then yourself Stuart up on the highway. We had very few riders in 6.30 group today, with two new guys and Alan & James M coming along

How many riders did RNP?

micklan

MC is away for 4 weeks -

micklan

thanks for the lift -

micklan

micklan

micklan

micklan

I need to buy an HD tuner ?

Yup = I like Bing Lee

micklan

It's on SBS 2 = HD

micklan

thank god they got the mic working last night...
I had a mate from work come along and with no commentary, it would be a little hard to follow the format - the mic did come back to life and Damo thought Arston's commentary very entertaining !

micklan

Thanks for all the input - I wil pass it on - appreciate it

cheers

micklan

OK - Tim got a flat today. I helped repair (a little bit), as did Mark L. Do we both get a 1/2 point? On 8 June I lent Tim a tube - today he returned the same tube to me due to said flat. It was a repaired tube, but this was a new stab to the tube - tube returned to me within the 14 days. :D (BTW I ...

A chap at work is thinking of purchasing a Titanium Bicycle Frame from the US, and then adding the group set etc. I thought the forum would be a good source of info for him.

Michael, I don't see a Skin Suit entry for you ??????

Its another typo, I'm only acquiring a jersey at this stage - i need to fit into my golden knicks prior to getting a skin suit

micklan

thanks Weiyun - apologies for the stuff up mate

micklan

Hills, hills and headwinds...

Thanks for the ride Mark L. it was very good. I was last up each hill
Terry Hills bakery actually has sausages in its sausage rolls...that was a nice refuel stop

micklan

I like it at M. Road. Its an easy ride home...

micklan

I reckon the rain will cancel the races too today.

micklan

Ok - I'll sit this one out and look forward to the race report boys

cheers

micklan

Micklan, are you interested in being in the team ?

yeah u betcha - lilke if it's doable, like 40kms of paceline at 40kmph right? that may not be doable

hills?

micklan

r there any hills ? - Mike you seem to be the only DH masters registered - Alex R is in the Regatta centre races - may be a mix up? http://www.nsw.cycling.bvit.com.au/site/cycling/nsw/downloads/Files/Newsletter/2009/2009%20Sydney%20Road%20Champs%20Program.pdf Masters entries DAY, George MMAS1 Sydney...

micklan

Excellent Pete - great day for a race...

micklan

lol

micklan

Do they eat Joorke in France?

Rice porridge is consumed the world over; c'mon Trouty with the program please

Arhh - one day Bream beach the next tour de France

micklan

Sorry but I can;t make it on Sat - have visitors this weekend & may squeeze a training ride in - have a good one

micklan

Were you going Trouty ?

micklan

I've been in C before. So I think thats where the action is for me - its a worry that D overtook though...

Great results - Congratulations - did u win some socks Trouty?

micklan

I can't make it Huw but:

ขอให้โชคดี

micklan

Mike I'd say you would enjoy C grade
The young fella who won it was say 15 years old and the other riders were around middle age
The 3 winning A graders were. Currrent and past club champions and a world masters champion

micklan

I'm just curious, was this circuit something like Oately ? The hill is not as steep but 1km long at least. Thus there is approx 12 kms of flatish, slight rises on an open 100kmph country road (thats minus the 1-2 km back down the hill). 14km run x 3 is the race. The hill is perhaps the only similar...

micklan

C or B grade ?

Which ever grade you require - the course is the same for all

micklan

Congratulations - Alex R - Ist in C and
Mike Jnr - 3rd in D

http://www.randwickbotanycc.com/Results ... l_2009.htm

micklan

Not much difference between C and D grade, was it one of those situations in C where they went fast slow fast slow while in D the pace was steady ? Mike - I think you would love the course. I was told that we did the 42km course and it is extended to 96 kms on other occasions. No wind on a fair day...

Mick Australipethicus. Where does it fit into the training camp weekend. Is it a Kangaroo Please explain? Ok so when we were on the training ride/tour de Jervis Bay, Trouty asked micklan what he saw? - micklan advised that the inhabitants of the camping ground were possibly part of the australipeth...

micklan

It was a great weekend - the Sat tour de Jervis Bay was very scenic, with views and fun side rides to Caves Beach and Wreck Bay. It was excellent to hook up with the local riders for the tour - thanks Geoff for arranging that. Sat night was a very tasty BBQ, thank you to the iron chefs. Local kangar...

micklan

I plan to race at Nowra - just gotta learn where in Nowra it's held

Criterium right?

micklan

power slide heaven...

note the other guys front tyre came off though

micklan

Gee willikers: what a great & exhuasting ride - thanks John for leading the way...

Highlight for me was James' 180 degree power slide on the single track with a reverse pike without crashing

micklan

Stuart the photos are amazingly clear - really top shots - thanks very much

I'll take a single would be good. wow $20 a night...
Geoff are you able to give some directions to BBCP as we will be travelling down on Friday at night?
looking fwd to it

thanks

micklan

Weiyun - I'd say have a go in D firstly then go to C...etc

micklan

I am waiting for the school holidays so that I can escape Sat PM duties and come back for a spin at Heffron. Miss it. Question is, should I go for D (old C) or C?

at least B grade

micklan

I got there late - what impressed me is that one chap (name, Doug?) went straight from the training run to race in D grade in first race - that was excellent, he slipped his pedal at the start then got it going under Geoff's chaperone Other feedback I heard was another new D grade rider said first t...

micklan

When did the paceline become a formal activity? Perhaps when there is significant disparity between the riders, then when on the mad mile the stronger riders should take turns on the front, while the others hang on for dear life. Like what we use to do. No Waterfall ride is ever the same. Fact of t...

micklan

Input to debate. There is perhaps 1 out of 100 times you would get a full bunch (maybe 30 riders when we've merged at 7/11), thru that turn into Parraweena Rd - In that situation I don't know what the call is if leading other than "cars approaching"? its a 400 metre stretch of road which i...

I would say that's perfectly appropriate!

Indeed to not attack mikebytes would be....

micklan

micklan

G' morning Stuart

did they give Tim a discount

micklan

BTW don't make up your own order - it throws order out of wack and we like order at the cafe

micklan

The Girls are young and its busy and they get mixed up I think - they are very pleasant - I gave them a run down on the DHBC groups as they inquired - like Sat slowies and yes its the same club but on sunday we do 90ks and she said: - "your just showing off now"...

wonderful

micklan

My 2 cents is...
I've Campagnolo - Centaur. Very happy with the precision of the changing - and its seems a very forgiving groupset, except as mentioned u bust say a break lever and yes they do cost. (edit thanks Weiyun) Correction Centaur is one level above Veloce....
