Re: The Saga that is Lance
Today's Sydney Morning Herald article today. Some guy is claiming there is even doping in C grade races! Calling for testing. This all on the day I want to start racing (for the first time) at Heffron in the C grade :shock: http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cycling/uphill-battle-to-keep-pedlars-out-201210...

Re: RBCC Racing @ Heffron
Ok just got word I am free again on Saturday arvo. My mum is babysitting my 2 younger ones.
If that is the case, and I'd like to race in group C, can I tag along with someone going to Heffron? Don't have a car and so plan to ride to Maroubra.

In a time before modern drug testing, when drugs were not frowned upon the way they are today, and riders used to visit wineries and have a tipple, mid stage, before getting back on their bikes to ride to the finish, it's hard to believe Merckx didn't take substances which would be deemed illegal t...

This sounds like the old 'left foot braking' trick. They were used by the British Motor Corp...

Brake technique
Been reading up a bit on this and have not come up with a definitive answer.
I know CNSW has trained some DHBC riders, was braking technique discussed and/or taught?

A few of us in the DHBC 'Valley Wheeler' group plan to enter 2 teams (riding vintage steel bikes only).
We are only doing the TT on Saturday, unless there is a change in plans.

Yep, no probs with photos, but want to set it up first. Looks like a late 70s or early 80s bike but missing its Shimano 600 arabesque derailleur and down tube shifters. Wheels and new tyres have to be sorted out too. Uses 27 inch wheels. Will post in the Vintage bike forum.
