Very keen for this. I might have to increase my weekend rides from ~100km to something a bit further. Maybe Scarborough and back via the RNP?

btw the link isn't working for the MapMyRide.

I was thinking about leaving earlier :s last year they made me get a lift because we were running too late

Started my training for descending Macq Pass last night by riding the 30km home from Parramatta in 32x21. SS though not fixed... Haven't sorted out a fixed solution for my the mtb yet

I'm up for riding there. It's the week before Grafton, so i'm planning to have some good form and will need to keep my legs turning over.

Now i just have to work out if i can get 4 weekends in a row off work.... Fixie, Grafton, Warnambool, Pennies.

ill just ride up the highway, it wont be that exciting, just add a bit of excercise to it all. I dont know every one on the list, but hope you are all cool with the 16-km or what ever it is, a lot of it seems to be slightly up hill? And it got cold at the end last year, another reason to leave earlier!

If anyone knows of a fixie my size that is dying to do this ride, but doesn't have a rider, please let me know!
Thanks
Alison

I'll be leaving at 10am after my spin class. Depending on what the other riders do, I'll either ride all the way or catch a train to MacCarthur to catch up. The route I'll ride is Meangle rd, Old Hume Hwy. I've ridden this route several times.

Recommend that you only ride there on Saturday if you are a top end middie, fastie or experienced tourer. Others should save their energy for Sunday.

Lizanne, what makes you think I would be riding there on Saturday?

I believe it was because you also copied this "Exactly which way are we riding down there???? Ive added my name." from the previous post....

This year since this event is becoming so large and last year there was a combination of confusion between money and people withdrawing late, making it difficult to control the booking.

I want everyone to pay $45 upfront to confirm their booking. Then there will be no money problems on the day and it will put the onis on individuals to get their money back who want to pull out rather than on me to control the whole thing.

OK update.

Booking for 20 made as above.

Money; I am asking that everybody who wants to confirm their accomodation as a definite starter pay by the 31st of July. This is so that we can make the financial side simpler and easier on arrival & also get hats made in time.

Cost:
-$45 for accomodation for the night (Not including breakfast)
-$15 if you wish to purchase a commemorative 5 years of fixie centuries DHBC riding Cap (to be given out on the day prior to the start)

Please pay your money to either me, Camilla or Christian.

lol!! cant wait for the hat!!

I see you removed a sentence from your post. May I give you some advice, Mr President. Next time when you question our ability to participate in one of the club's events or complete events successfully, send me a private message prior to posting similar threads as you did a while ago. We don't like to be prejudiced which you clearly did in the form of not booking a night for us. This behaviour shows a lack of respect for, and I believe that, based on the fact that you are the newly elected President, I can say your club members. I hope in the future you give some consideration to your thoughts and ways of approach prior to taking action.

Ok. But there is a criteria for entry into this event which is outlined in the original post. Everybody who has not previously ridden a fixie century before has talked to me in person and confirmed their expectations for the event and been informed of what the club is offereing in running this event. I don't think that this is showing any disrepesct to you at all.

This is a very difficult event and I don't want you too feel left out on the day if you cannot keep up with the bunch. Unlike the C25's on a Sunday morning this is not a no drop ride & it is important that everybody who competes is aware of this before they begin. But it is best you talk to me in person about this.

Will the hats be the same fabric/style as the RAW hats?

The fixie century is known as our hardest training ride it used to be an ellite group, aimed at cracking people now we just call our selves an elite group, but it is still a hard ride that isnt amazingly safe riding down mac pass on a fixie. It could be assumed to be the equivilant of about a 200-240km road bike ride, the hard part being the gear choice that will get you there, and then up the stanwell tops hill.

This ride isnt for every one, though we do have pretty big breaks, especially at the end for people who have cracked

(if you want to compare with a road ride, it would be similar to a little ride down to bulli pass and back I would say, so if you want some training on a road bike for it, just head down there and back

Will the hats be the same fabric/style as the RAW hats?

Yes that's the plan but with other writing. It would be really good to get wool if anyone is offering to organise it? But the price will also go up.

lol! who said it was easy? It was easy when it was doing 500km a week, but since then its been a challenge!

Yes that's the plan but with other writing. It would be really good to get wool if anyone is offering to organise it? But the price will also go up.

I'll put my hand up for organising wool hats. I am personally not really a fan of the fabric of the previous runs of DHBC hats, wool would be heaps nicer. I'll start investigating pricing etc.

July is nearly up people!!!

see you @ the track on wednesday with the money.

Now I have a fixie waiting in the wings I will also rock up with my $$!

are you making the colnago or the hillbrick into your fixie?

The Hillbrick... The Colnago has vertical dropouts so won't work. I wouldn't have bought the Hillbrick otherwise...

so i've found a place that does semi custom wool cycling caps.
they embroider for about $3/ pannel
so i was thinking the old school DHBC logo (as seen on the red wool jerseys, any one have a close up pic of it?) and text 2011 fixie century.
i'll put in for a quote today.
any input on looks/price limit would be good.
people willing to pay 20is for wool?

Sounds great Lizanne. Thanks for investigating and making it happen.

This is the e-mail i just got back
i was suggesting the 4 pannel cap
we can go red/black, red/grey or just all red

if someone can hepl me with a pic of the old logo that would be awesome! or i'll just pull the DHBC logo off the net.
the price is in USD so we could go all the embroidery on one panel and with design+shipping have it $20ish or have the embroidery on 2 places and it be $25 ish

Let me know!
p.s here is the website
www.walzcaps.com


Lizanne -
Thank you for you interest in our caps. We would be happy to make you an all red wool cap for your club. Also, on 25 caps or more we offer 30% off retail for clubs so the cost per cap would be $17.50. The cost for embroidery would be $3.00 per location. So if you wanted both sides embroidered the total cost per cap would be $23.50. If you just wanted to put the text under the logo and embroider one location the caps would be $20.50 each.
There is a one time logo digitizing fee to prepare the logo for embroidery of $60.00. There is no set up charge for text. We do ship to Australia and the cost is $50.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or if you would like to move forward with an order.
Thanks!

Yay for hats! I'm in.

Thanks for organizing Lizanne. All sounds good to me!

I was organising the hats but I have been chasing up Walz for a response to my enquiries about how far we can customise them and haven't received anything back from them.

I was also in discussions with the girl from Rocket Fuel to see if she has time to design and deliver our hats before the Fixie Century.

Lizanne if you want to organise them instead then that's fine. I'm struggling to manage time at the moment as it is.

Opps, sorry I missed this thread.

I'll try to get down to the track this week.

Btw: I've started work on my new fixie. I've got about 70% of the bike together now. Thanks to Toff for the frame.

sorry vic. i wasn't quite sure what the go was for hats, so i did a quick search this morning at work. i'm more than happy to take over. i seem to be getting responses quite quickly.
I'll be down at the track on wed for any discussion/debate on design/text.

Sorry Lizanne didn't see this. No need to apologise. Works out quite well for me because I have things happening at a fast pace over here... I have the leaving of work and the riding of bikes and the moving of house to organise

Ok. Update on who's paid. For those who haven't paid acommodation I need you money or I will cancel your booking and you can sort yourself out. HAts are being are organised by lizanne so don't worry about paying for them till the price is set.

Hey Simon, sorry about this but Aimee and I are going to move ourselves to sorting our own accomodation closer to the time. We'll figure something out. She can't commit because of her leg and I can't because life is a bit up in the air at the mo!

No probs, I'll readjust the booking when everybody has paid who wants confirmation.

The hats being ordered are these (but all red)

http://www.walzcaps.com/images/sku_121_ ... Red_lg.jpg

and the text "2011 - Tempetation- Fixie Century Coastal" under it.

The bill of the hat is made from a fabric stabilizer called pellon, so it's soft and not cardboard.

Large/Extra Large 23 1/2" - 25" 7 1/2 - 8
