micklan

yeah right - I remember now coming up on red numbers, ....a couple of times, usually they lap us

micklan

Arm and leg warmers mid afternoon, must of been cold

negative mike - got ready for the ride home
Tim used arm warmers out in front

micklan

I remember Tim rolled next to me just after the finish line and calmly said: Dulwich Hill 1 & 2

micklan

I couldn't see any damage to the front doors - must of been a break in to the rear - just saw the signs on the front window and door saying there had been a robbery. Bad news.

micklan

I went there on Sun 17 Aug - it was closed as there was a breakin & theft on the Sat night - a $1K reward has been posted for information

micklan

You rode a very smooth race Tim, up the front there for the race - I tagged on ur wheel for some time so I got to see...well done

micklan

Off to C grade for you now... and Tim...

No. Bucko seemed to dismiss this prospect...maybe next week I think was the terminology used

micklan

Hope to do it in 2009

Riders Timyone, Peter (triathele), Micklan, Fixedgear (C grade) Conditions A Heffron day where you want to be somewhere else...SW windy...rider nos. down Rules Mid race the laps were cut by about 2-3 by the Com as others have to race in the Ride for Life Sunday D grade report DH 1st (Micklan) &...

micklan

It's at least 8 hrs in the saddle
like race for x-mins=30 + tour mins = 8 hrs
there are 3 feeding stations and perhaps x 3 King of the Mountain (KoM) stages, that is there are x 3 distinct hill sections, much bigger than a Dapto ankle snapper...

micklan

Are last Fridays pictures out there somewhere?

micklan

indeed bike and rider as one unit...

micklan

why is the owner all blurie Tim

micklan

Adrian - well done on your C grade podium - c'mon... off to B grade now mate

micklan

I can't remember which size i got last time
what size do you wear Simon?

micklan

wow D grade 37 kmh

wish a could be there - missed it

micklan

Much the same - ?

micklan

not sure on the difference between divisions - I've only been in 4 & 3.

micklan

Mate - I think Beanzy is the superman who was assigned x 3 laps on the front with the purple team italian pursuit, (the crowd went off on that news); - this was due to the fact we had lost so many purple team riders heading off early - i just did one lap. Really wasn't sure what was going on. Good e...

micklan

man have actionsaps stopped doing the pics for raw?

they didn't take photos for week 4

micklan

pedal to the metal Beanzy - what a fine wheel to be on

micklan

Fixed gear outstanding - well done on the win in D. up to C for you...

Well done Beanzy hitting some solid form at the dragway...

micklan

me dropping others is, well...unheard of - but if we did bump to say 45 then they others may not be able to sustain that?

micklan

Simon's in the money tonight with 3rd place in 1st div wheel race - well done

(then he had a rest)

micklan

BTW Mick wot happ'n to the straight arms?

mate i discovered I have elbows and they bend

micklan

Michael, Good to see you dishing it out in the pimples

thanks Mike I've been modelling my pimple work on your good example

micklan

So the lesson here is, if i want to get in the photo's i need to run up the front as opposed to hiding out the back

easy to capture when you have a red jersey on

micklan

Thanks buddy, I never knew the photo's went over more than one page.

Well Rocky was racing so Rocky Jnr was assigned & snapped off 200 photos

micklan

there's some really good shots of you Kieran on the RBCC website in race results. I do remember on the pimples you flew by us with one of your helpers...very fast indeed (woops forgot to list your name up top). http://www.randwickbotanycc.com/Results%202008/26%20July%202008/results_26_July_2008.htm ...

micklan

Tony - thats great - your first race is a blast isn't it...

Contact: Lindsay the club Secretary; he advised that there's a new set of jersey's arriving soon - not only do they look good, they're very good quality, last a long time compared to others

micklan

Congratulations Tim - you came 2nd in the 6 lapper / or was it 1st?

micklan

Background Nice day, SW wind. Medium no. for rider turnout DH riders: Geoff (El Presidente), a New member in D grade, Keiran, Alex, Tim, Micklan, Matt et al. D grade report Good fun. Several chases led by El Presidente. Half way thru a few witchs hats were on the track prior to the pimples. Beanzy ...

micklan

well we did plan - communication breakdown was that the attack was on lap three, like 3 laps to go, but others thought it was attack on lap 3, with 11 laps to go, it makes things interesting

micklan

C grade felt pretty slow today I wouldn't be surprised if D grade was quicker.

no way C grade was fast, results are up:

C GRADE 16 laps 32.32km, Time: 00:52:16, Avg Speed: 37.1Km/hr, Avg Laptime: 00:03:16

Congratulations everyone.

Which Tim?

DH riders spotted = Alex R, Tim, Moi, Adrian, James M... Conditions Perfect. Nice day, NW breeze D grade Congratulations to Alex R on a punishing 1st place and Tim on 3rd place (C grade hello, next Tim) It's all about the story...I'll leave that to Alex. But from about lap 3 Tim started attacking, ...

micklan

don't know - I've emailed them to ask

micklan

arrrh - the return ride - i would plan to turn around straight away and head back - thats if I was up for that torture

micklan

Thanks Mike Hmm. me thinks you would of won I'd say if you made it... Well 75 is a good start position. Let me run u thru it: Alex gave me a mighty push to start with, and then there were riders in front - bang this rider flew past me and that was one problem solved, as one must follow a fast wheel....

micklan

Thanks Lindsay for running the Omnium - very much appreciated. A lead out in the dead of Tempe night seems to deliver a more emphatic flying 200. The petrol guage may also be affected by RAW...what else, umm seat height' blah Check out Tim's RAW photos: http://www.actionsnaps.com.au/index.php?option...

micklan

thanks Ted for the great photos

I've noted my ejection photo, "for cheating in sport", from the 30 lapper points race and have readied my notes for the tribunal

micklan

its like - no rain today - but that's a day closer to rain

maybe

micklan

My RM125 used to get tank slap - that's violent handlebar oscillation at speed, a menace to bring under control. Increasing speed stopped it, if it starts again, increase speed to counter, keep increasing speed until lift off

micklan

Hey Bill thats great your doing the country rides - good on you
From 2pm this Sat at the track instead of Heffron

micklan

Thanks Bill
When are we going to see you back down at Heffron for a race

Mick

micklan

There is an argument that the interruption of the lap out counteracts any benefit in derived from riding 2k less.

Indeed C grade promotion would be based on high, consistent lapage

micklan

92 is a solid gear for Dunc. Strength is good but you will actually get a better acceleration with utilizing cadence than strength.

case closed - thanks

micklan

mick, jump up to 94 or so for your training, and race on 92 or so or go up to 96, and race on 94

case re-opened

micklan

Depends on whether your a masher or a spinner.

I'm finding 92 a little low for DGV.

spinner - it's becoming more apparent to save energy

micklan

case solved

micklan

ok I've got 92 on board now.
It was mentioned train on 92 race on 90.
generally, train lower and race higher?

micklan

Would anyone like to sell one to me for Roseli cranks? although I think the bolt pattern is pretty much standard. I need to go to 90.6 for RAW and of course omni

micklan

Once I was at the fish markets - I got a bream and in it's gut was a battery - thank god I don't like fish stomach soup (but really, that dish is nice)

micklan

Not too much to worry about anyway, Heffron is only for a bit of fun.

True - it means a lot to some folk

micklan

If its a flat tyre its usual to return to the start area to get a wheel, tube - like there's no support car.

What gets me is that these riders are fresher, it's only a 14 lap race - like the bunch has done x laps where as the punctured rider is on x-1 laps.

micklan

"Tom", was that big Tom?

This Tom was wearing a Led Zepplin racing kit - a young chap

micklan

DHBC riders Several: Fixed Gear, Damien, Chris R, Huw, Mat, Simon, (Michael G et al) Noted Simon: "my legs are sore"...(got 2nd B grade) Huw: "I'm so tired"...(got 3rd B grade) Congratulations - RAW/back to back with Heffron Chris R - got a tyre blow out in C grade D grade repor...

Weiyun - do you remember we've seen this before. That Sunday just in front of Hanrob pet bording kennels. At the end of last hill up prior to the run down to the turn round over the waterfall bridge.

A couple of years ago in the park i saw this muscle bound cyclist, physically reprimand a Dad puttering along taking his daughter for a ride, a scary reprimand for nothting more than being in the cycle lane - it was really really embarassing, I think the rider was on some steriod cocktail binge - th...

micklan

I'll give it a miss Bill - but maybe try to make the Grafton ride, perhaps.

micklan

Sounds like a good race Beanzy
I didn't make it,
gotta get a new alarm clock

micklan

Yes, there has been a lot of riders promoted up the grades over the past six months e.g. Adrian to C etc.

Not sure how to ascertain that wind splits the bunch, Mike thats your theory. I think it's more the psychology of it.

My, I do like Heffron racing...

T Bone any chance of expressing interest for the accomodation?

Bill if a lifts going - are you coming back to Syd on Sunday?

How many riders go in it

micklan

I would like to ride this event with the Hillbrick. (funny the bike is of two odd words; hill & brick)

micklan

Hi Bill - could you PM me your mobile no and I'll give you a call. (In the memberlist you can send a PM I think)

micklan

Lilyfield hill form the west is much steeper than east - this sounds x 3 laps nasty

micklan

As Toff said: "Wind resistance on the other hand increases proportionately with the square of the speed at which you are travelling, so a small increase in speed can result in a substantial increase in drag." That means at 50kph, drag is significantly higher. So if the drag increases then...

micklan

How many minutes do you get on me at Oatley Park?

3 mins?

micklan

Good, now we can go on the attack

3 mins and counting...

micklan

happy to suck some wheels, bring it on (oh, do some turns too) - just like waterfall

micklan

I like them.

even though it's a silver hub this is gold:

"Front hub (They must have stuffed this with butter! I pick up the wheel from either axle ends and the wheel starts to rotate willy-nilly!)"

micklan

Some Photos taken at Oatley Park Racing Men in Red . Sorry Photos are not that good,still a beginner. Great shots Eric thanks. Eric (Kona MTB), rode over with Mike C and I to Oatley park. Mike C was late and no Bill. Half way there Bill popped up in his car. (You can't race at Oatley in that Bill)....

micklan

A bit hilly for a fixie anyway

I've a tow rope - we can tow Simon up the Oatley ravines

micklan

If you fart going uphill you will go faster and destroy the competition in one go.
