NSW Hillclimb Championhip Report

While watching the Paris to Roubaix I thought I might write a small report on how I went on my first outing in Bathurst. Not knowing what to expect I relied on a few friends that have done it before to tell me the best way on how to ride the 4km course. It was suprisingly mild for this time of year ...

The Heffon Park Report from a first timer

As it was the first time I have entered a crit race and at Heffron I thought I'd write a small report on how I went. As I got there they wanted to put me straight into C grade but I managed to get myself into D grade. There was a massive head wind especially on the home straight which made it quite ...

Yeah I did the tour the hills as well. I wasn't as fortunate as Jono as I blew up after the second big hill (got suckered in chasing the lead group) and on top of that I pulled a quad muscle. Couldn't even finish the 100k and stopped at 50k. A big reality check with the inexperience getting the bett...

The time gap is to account for the different average speeds, a 2km/h speed difference accounts for 10 minutes over the 80km distance. This was originally done so everyone arrived back at the cafe at the same time, the group was much smaller in those days. So the question is, how important is it tha...

Well I've always wanted to do the Sydney to Gong Race and now joining a club I'd like to get into racing like at Hefron. But like I posted before I'd need to get my racing licence first. So I suppose I'd want to conquer some endurance and also some shorter competitions. Thanks for your input

flat tyres

Hi Everyone,
Can someone help? I keep getting rear flat tyres. I change the tube and ride a couple of times then find the tyre flat again. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need to take it to a shop and get it done properly. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
