Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Done for Jo & I

So what's the total required? Can we have a guide

The MC Ride leaves CP at about 6:20 (it never leaves on time) and takes a slightly longer route than "my" Sat loop route as it leaves CP via a different exit. MC arrives close to Bondi Junction at 7:30 normally. So Jo's calculations seem optimistic by about 15 mins?. Garmin Connect tells m...

Yes I know how to remove updates .. I've done it three times ! See this post >> http://dhbc.org.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3268&hilit=Garmin+upgrade However it appears that Garmin have removed the firmware files from their website. I have copies of 2.8 and 3.0 if anybody wants them. Strang...

Haven't stuck that problem whoops ... seems that issue was addressed in the 2.7 to 2.8 update. Changes made from version 2.70 to 2.80: Fixed issue causing multiple heart rate monitors to be found. Fixed a speed display issue in history, speed zone setup, and workouts. Changes made from version 2.80...

1. Mike (might ride his fixie)
2. Todd (dont own a fixie and have no intention of purchasing one in the future!!)
3. Stuart (will miss Bundeena & the ferry - so basically a RNP loop for anyone interested)

I was thinking CRAZY PEOPLE! But then, at La Pa this morning gazing at the sunset, remembered that my very first ever ride with the club was on the winter solstice. So I'd better come along and celebrate my 6th anniversary! I'll be wanting cake. Maybe candles. ~snip~ A sunset in the morning .. can ...

2.8 to 3.0 at least gets rid of the fabulously annoying "multiple heart rate monitors found" messages & errors ...

So the Garmin site is telling me there's a firmware upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2. Given my disastrous history of Garmin upgrades and the fact my Garmin is finally working fine I'm wondering if anybody else has done this? Changes made from version 3.00 to 3.20: Fixed display of power meter serial numbers....

I'm interested in this "chaffing problem"

good result though.

I really like the workstand ... oh, and the bike looks good too.

Yeh sorry Stuart. This is an experiment for a future weekly ride so not sure about timing so thought to leave early on the safe side and work it out from there. MC starts at 615 from CP and I am always late for work... Actually, when I think about it, I leave home at 5:40 for the Thur MC Hills ride...

Seriously. 05:30 ??? I'm a maybe so won't add to the list. If I'm there ....

@Colin - just edit the first post and change the date ...

Best ask Eleri about this race ... she had all sorts of fun last year in the pissing rain, wind & low temps. There are hills. We went to lunch.

As for accommodation Noel, our house in Nowra is full but I'm sure others are staying Sat night.

Great report as always Dougie and a big Chapeau for getting out there on the road. Now, as for "unleashing the furry" ... that was a story lost in time .. or is it? http://dhbc.org.au/forum/viewtopic.php? ... +the+furry

people in Marrickville get married? the world is full of surprises

Great report and a great ride from Chris and all the team. I mean, "average 43kph for the first two hours"! Chapeau

A great day out indeed. Not much like the older style, rambling along adventure rides as the pace was fairly quick out to Windsor and yes I did a short 4-5k turn on the front on a lovely hot mixed dual lane piece of road that mostly sloped downwards at 1-2%. Nick thought we must have had a tailwind ...

remember that in theory there is a "club ride" to RNP EVERY Sun at 6:00am. Mostly its for middies or faster riders.

Count us in as well: Anna & Robert :D Anna - you need to copy / paste the list. DHBC loves ride lists :D . Gives us an idea about how many people will be coming along. Start List 1. Mike C 2. Mark L 3. Stuart 4. Rajiv Ramanathan 5. Karzie 6. Adam 7. Anthony K 8. Peter Bownes 9. Anna 10. Robert

Wooo Hooo - fab news Eleri .. congrats.

Just so you know, have read articles where it is suggested that the new SRAM Red Exogram cranks with the X-Glide chainrings work best, or are "optimised" for the matching SRAM YAW front derailleur. This derailleur in turn requires the new Red shifters. My older 2011 model has no such issues.

You can put 52/38 SRAM chainrings on SRAM Red compact ... Trouty runs that. If you wanted to sell the original compact rings I'd be interested. Also, I run SRAM Red cranks (bought 2011 model at steep discount from the hip shakers) with an Ultegra derailleur & the setup works great and certainly ...

Haha. We'll start with everyone, will likely get dropped on the Kingsway climb (speaking for myself), and then will just make our own through the park... Wanna come?

No can do. Will be sleeping in at Mt Kitosh, Blackheath.

Not that I'm coming, but now we have fast and slow middies? Things are getting confusing.

I'm a starter. What time are we leaving? .

I remember that bike and the owner. Its VERY bright but a great price. Tempted, but a little too small for me. How much is a respray?

I've changed my size again after trying on a jersey on Sat. It's XL for me.

It's a great initiative from LACC to be teaching bike handling skills and it's something I'd love to see DHBC emulate. LACC have booked the Lansdowne crit track for skills sessions and some club racing for a solid month or so on Saturdays and it's an excellent venue to learn at, having fast downhill...

and no one mentioned the Gourmet Fondo ... now there's a ride I could get into

'Mental' maximum...

Definition -- Mental Maximum: The maximum distance I can ride before I get bored/too tired/am hurting and I am over it entirely and just want to go for lunch/drinks/lunch & drinks. This is approximately 120k's.

This does sound great. Closed roads for 160 riders is premium support indeed, but there does seem to be a shedload of hills and it's quite a bit longer than my mental maximum .....

Respect ...

Note I changed my size to large after finding the sizing chart. I have XL DHBC Nalini jerseys, but I like them to fit loose. Chest Sizing Jersey length back Long sleeve length S - 32-34" 85cm 25" 63cm 76cm ...

Hello Jonboy. You don't need to qualify. You just need to be a financial member of DHBC for 2 months prior (this is to stop wringers suddenly joining a club on the Friday). So, if you upgrade your license now you'd be fine. However, a Silver license may also be OK. Ring CNSW and ask them. Re losing....

In Lindsay's post in the Vintage section he said CNSW had told him a silver 'recreational' license was enough but best to check. BTW, Fri 19th and Sat 20th are the last 2 nights of the Tour de France, excepting the Paris finish. It is of course possible to drive down and back on the day, but it's a ...

Just to start a new thread for general news, views and team creation outside of the Vintage Bikes section.

I'd always thought we'd use these as a prize for the flat tyre comp - but anyway. I've got a bag full of tubes that have all got a hole in them. Anyone really keen on patching?

Alternatively, anyone know here I can recycle them?

The rules say that the three youngest riders ages must add to 150 years or older. I am 44. That does put some pressure on you and mark to age prematurely.

OK. Well that's sorted then

OK. So I moved some posts and it didn't really work that well. Anyway, lets go. Just to start a new thread for general news, views and team creation outside of the Vintage Bikes section.

I'm shocked it wasn't raining & windy ...

Hey Colin - looks like YOU are both planning and organising it

Any news coming out of the AGM? I'm sure the Secretary will be mailing us all soon :-) IIRC Only one position changed on the committee President - Eleri Vice-President - Geoff Martin Secretary - Jo Skinner Treasurer - NEW! Dougie Kirkham Road Captain - James Fowler Track Captain - Alex Chubbs Publi...

Having ridden my way through the bunches over the last few months I found it very confusing why the fasties have a different rotating pattern to other bunches. Whilst I am well aware of the history and reasoning for this I think the club should have universal rules. It makes for a lot of confusion,...

I need to invest in a new tool. Specifically one to cut cables and crimp cable end caps on. I was going to buy a Park Tool CN-10 but read some reviews and watched a video where they were not exactly highly praised. Ok, but not fabulous. Then it was the Pedros - universal acclaim, but no integrated c...

By the way - this is Jo not Stuart - forgot to login! This race from what I hear is pretty hard, and you have to work in the bunch to keep the other groups away - no hiding in the back and be prepared to be dropped within your group at some point. I'd say most of the guys that are riding at the bott...

Glad to hear that Michael is on the mend. Now I know which corner it was as his description is perfect - I always think I could have gone faster around that corner as I exit. I thought it was higher up the road.

Looking through Strava there are a LOT of trophies Think I would have been spat out if I had been there. Driving to Narrabeen was a breeze 8) . Then the enlarged bunch rode together till the first hill on McCarrs Ck Rd whereupon it split. We did see the fast riders at several regrouping points alon...

A great day out indeed, marred slightly by Michael's deflating front tyre induced crash while descending McCarrs Ck Rd. He's OK but very sore hip & foot.

we're riding - weather looks good. See you in Narrabeen.

Hello drive-riders : remember to check here in the morning re weather & riding. It's not looking good right now. If you've got my mob then txt me in the AM if you're bailing due to weather. I don't ride in the rain.

A good piece. Never read comments on cycling articles.

I did say In MY Opinion (and I saw Joanne's elbow) ... obviously not everybody thinks that way or no one would race there. Each to their own I guess. Apologies for hijacking the thread. Now back to the racing.

Well lets hope they remove those ridiculous tight corners from the layout, widen it somewhat and make it more flowing ... Does anyone know if its being redesigned? To answer my own question: "The redesign of the cycle track includes an extension of the cycle criterium track with retention of th...

Lets clear this up then. The Narrabeen cafes are closed so we'll be having coffee and breakfast on the return loop at Church Point cafe - weather permitting I'm planning on the full sit down out on the deck thing as the setting is lovely and it's not too far back to Narrabeen from there. Those who n...

~snip~ I'm a bit battered and bruised but so glad mini Pini is not injured too badly. Possibly new bar tape that's it at this stage. As for me....the days of me being a leg model are over! Jo is only saying that as she hasn't even dared look at her elbow. And you should see the leather bar tape .. ...

where is that race photo taken?

Small snag: Driftwood cafe is closed on Easter Friday. There's another cafe next to it but I can't remember its name. Anyway, I'm sure the pub will be open

The eat piece of the ride may not happen ...

Talk about model material! Peter & Michele rocking those shirts

Greg has posted on Facebook today: "Hi all - bit fried but in recovery mode . Will post more soon" .

ahh the good old Daily Liberal. It can always be relied upon to print lies, distortions and purely made up crap. Like this for instance >> http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-03-18/r ... up/4578648

Total bastards. Also, it's a good idea to put this up on Sydney Cyclist and also Facebook on the DHBC page and I Love Sydney Cycleways etc

Might be good to put this in the Sun RNP thread >> http://dhbc.org.au/forum/viewtopic.php? ... &hilit=rnp

Interesting read: Its benefits are often questioned, its place in the industry is contentious, and its consumer value is suspect. It could even be flat out dangerous, failing where other products have no problems. http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/03/bikes-and-tech/the-torqued-wrench/the-torqued-w...

Last Sat 9th at about 8:15 saw somebody in club kit going up Artillery Hill as we were descending ... shouted out "Dulwich Hill spotted" that's it really

Well... That's disappointing. Does anyone know when it changed? I can't make the 24th as I'm at a triathlon. What a bummer...

and so it begins ... Triathlon takes precedence over real bicycle racing ...

This survey takes about 20 mins. Well worth responding to. Have your say on the UCI, doping, racing, women's cycling and more.

http://www.aspectmr.co.uk/snapwebhost/s ... 6079311931

SUVelo confirm that the race is on Sunday the 24th NOT this Sun 17th.

@DulwichHillBC @SUVelo_Racing Confirmed 24 March at Heffron Park both women's grades (A & B) will be held at 8:30am. Sign on from 7:30am

And there I was thinking you were making a movie for upload to Facebook ....

Great to hear of the steady progress. I wonder how much Greg would think I should get paid? Maybe I should ask him for a raise

Hmm .. 227 - 259 Morrison Road wouldn't be much of a detour from the 3 gorges ride return route .. must ponder.

I have a bike he can use .. my 2008 Merida Road Lite 105 (alloy). I've just swapped the brakes on to my Pinny so need to put the ones that were on my Pinny back on it and the left hand shifter as well. Other than that it's fine. It's got a 58cm TT.

This topic is now locked. Please use the original thread linked to above.

So, my 500 has started playing up again over the last 2-3 months, randomly stopping receiving GPS signals and speed stops as well. Complained to Garmin via Twitter and have now sent email to social.support@garmin.com with my Garmin Connect details so they take a look. Lets see what they say.

Daylight saving ends this Sun and you shouldn't need lights at 6am.

I ride with both lights on all the time, dark or light .. I want to be seen

So the 2nd weekend of the NSW masters track champs has been staged. DHBC had several riders competing an they can tell their own stories. I was just a spectator on the Sunday to see Eleri & Trouty do the Team Sprint and the Scratch. Mike Clement was also there for the Scratch. Trouty got first i...

IMO it's not a bad piece. ONly "anti" is from the cops, not the journo

I'm out. Have to be on the ground at conference hotel to start IT setup by 12:00 ... very disappointed as I've wanted to do some MTB'ing and this looked like a good way to start

Start list
Christian
Mike C (assuming Christian sells him a MTB)
Alison
andrewm (are you in?)
Tam

Are they matching bedside lights?

No, lights that go on the ceiling - we've replaced ours with fan / light combo's just in time for it to cool down ....

I've got some lights x 2 that take 3 x max 40w bulbs and I'm sure are very stylish. As in for a room in a house, not cycling lights. If anybody is vaguely interested I'll take the photos and post.

17" CRT monitor with power cord. In good condition. Pick up only in Dulwich Hill.

Bit delicate but is somebody taking over the booking of the venue for this, assuming it's still on? We should notify the venue owner either way.

BTW, Lots more classics being broadcast on SBS this year with 5 in total : http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/ne ... IVE-on-SBS

The Club owns one, fairly small example.

So happy to hear that Greg is getting there. Small steps I guess but very, very great news ...

Great idea! Would be also nice to have a short run down on the history the the DHBC club. The RBCC have one on their website and dont see why we cant do the same.

what, like this? http://www.dhbc.org.au/about-dhbc/history.html

what time would we expect to be back home? I now have to fly to Brisbane that day so may be a scratching
