Hi Ladies, Great work to all who participated in the training omnium event held yesterday. It was great to see you all on the velodrome and I hope that you all continue to come to training throughout the winter months. Don't forget that some of the best training you can get is at Lindsays Thursday n...

Great ride report, Lizanne! I think that sums it up pretty accurately. We learnt a lot about each others' strengths and abilities. I learnt that I am fitting and stronger than I thought I was/ am and that Lizanne pedals a big gear really slowly and is very strong, and fatigue only shows after the ev...

And I still have the Rabo stuff for you Jess! I will try to remember to bring it to track this week. Will you be there on Monday?

Yes

Rainbow

Jess - we need to talk re the women's page :-) I wrote that in about 2 minutes. We can have sub menus with stories (like the still not here women's day interviews) , links to contacts, track, Vic's touring stories (Hi Vic), RAW Track Women, etc etc - but this needs to be owned by the women in the c...

Just in case my point wasn't clear, it looks REALLY great! Job well done!

Rainbow

Looks great! On the women's page, should it say who the women shoulkd talk to for the cycling queries?

Rainbow

What an annoying place to have knee pain! I hope it all gets better soon.

Rainbow

Hi Alison, Where in your knee, front, back, side? It's possibly as issue of set-up, but you really need to not ride at all for it to settle down. For those who are coming along, I highly suggest you get yourself some fancy tyres which are stickier than the current standard issue on your bikes. Dunc ...

Hi Lizanne,
Sorry to hear you're not well and I hope you make a speed recovery.
We will most certainly require your encouragement and cheer.

Rainbow

My 2 cents worth is that your should (if you can do it) get a bike that fits you to a tee. I have one bike that has 650c wheels and Ryhs is correct, it is really cheap to buy old 650c stuff on ebay. There are always disks etc going around, you'd never have to borrow! I don't think there is any compr...

Congratulations to you all!

Great to hear from you! Yes, we will loan you a bike and your shoes and pedals (please bring) will be just fine.
See you Saturday week!

This will be held at home: Tempe Velodrome.

I have had a plethora of groupsets and bits and pieces and still do have, but my favourite to this day is my SRAM Force (and I just so happen to have Red cranks) is just the loveliest, so easy to use and my steel bike is light as a feather!

Like Amy said, get nice wheels.

Rainbow

I have a friend at work who is looking to buy your old roadie. Is looking for a 55 to 56cm and would prefer a complete bike but I'm sure he could be talked around to put something together - sub $1000.

PM me if you have any offers and I'll pass on the details.

Rainbow

I am interested.
* Vic, if you want to do it you'll have to enter us.
* Liz, just get a license already and stop waiting for a specific event, enter all events you have time for, it's more fun this way!

Rainbow

sweet! Thanks!

Rainbow

Pick me Vic, I will wear them! and run / gym in them

Rainbow

I will be there Simon!

Rainbow

What you need is a wall / railing and a slight down-hill slope and a lot of practise

Rainbow

Apparrently men can get down to 6% body fat and still be healthy??? For women's bodies to function at a healthy level it's supposedly 18% body fat. Such disparity!
