Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is that they would be extremely uncomfortable over longs distances, or even short ones for that matter. Plus there is the issue of people thinking you are plain weird, especially as you move further away from Sydney. I've never met a really comfortable ...

Anthony you have taken leave of your senses if you intent to do 5 x 200k days in a pair of sluggo's. They invented nicks for a reason. You may never sit down again.

Yes Weiyun I know that BUT, as we all know, there are many advantages of cycling including it being very, very unlikely that a cop will pull you over and breath test you and if you see a RBT station you can high tail it away far easier via any path possible :-) Plus, I'm not going to kill anyone by ...

Me bringing some, but dont think I will be able to carry more than a dozen on a motorbike. So, let's say BYO if you can!

Mate, I can carry a case on the rack on my Ducati - that's how I get them from the bottlo to home mostly ... but I'm cycling to avoid the RBT so will bring a 6 pack

I'm assuming this is BYO beers?

Jo & I need a work stand. Seems there are 2 schools of thought. One is the Mag trainer without the trainer bit that clamps the rear dropouts. The other is the clamp the seat post or top tube type thing - this one gets some good feedback on other forums although people were going on about how you...

OK - that was my dig at the Social Committee - when / where is the Xmas party or are we abandoning it for this year?

So is this the best the Social Committee could come up with for the DHBC Xmas party - Christian in a dress? What about if it rains? There's FA room at the track when it's wet ....

Looks like the women's elite race was close!

The long awaited jersey order will be here soon I'm sure .... As I understand it there are also some of the last batch still for sale. Plus Lindsay is looking at a cheaper option as well. lastly, what ever happened to the t-shirts we were going to get printed for supporters / handlers / groupies to ...

Is there a live stream?

It's live tonight on Foxtel - Fox Sports 3 at 19:30

I'm with Toff. This is not to be taken seriously. The terror is the anti-cycling organ in NSW, as are most all Murdoch Press rags, pretty much the world over. The Australian runs the same cr*p as these tabloids. However, if this is indeed true I think as a club we should actively oppose such moves b...

Jo & I are away that weekend ....

Oh bring your budgy smugglers, if you wish to have a dip in the p0ol.

You have a pool at your house ... in Marrickville!

The swim leg would be pretty long .....

wow what a write up! thanx

I can't claim it as my own - take a bow Geoff Martin.

Simon and Tim Llewellyn are the first riders in perhaps decades to represent Dulwich Hill at the Elite International Level , at the UCI World Cup in Melbourne on 19th to 21st November. The Llewellyn's, recently naturalised as Irish through their mother's side, are Ireland's Australian based cycling ...

Just click yes!

Forgot to put this link up before now: click here for all the shots I took on the last night of RAW 2009 - there's more than 100

It's "Slowies RNP" for a reason, although we put it up as an upgrade ride for people who are already comfortable with regular Slowies pace to Waterfall and is ready for or already are with the Middies. It really should be called Middies Waterfall (and I'm going to re-name it on the homepa...

So I started with Jo's work bunch (thanks Blue Star for the jersey and bib nix) but rode "alone" for most of the distance. We got away at about 6:15 but I thought it was more crowded at the start this year compared to last as more people were starting early. This was especially evident on ...

Seems like a strange move to go to a Continental team with no real track record if his goal is still the TDF. Interesting also that Garmin's manager said "Cadel is a great athlete, and I wish I'd known he was on the market. But no, he hasn't signed for Garmin in 2010". Pity really - BMC mu...

This is not a defendable case and through that rider's action, he has done great harm to our cycling cause and potentially our safety on the road.

Absolutely agree

BTW - I think I should emphasis that I was taking the term "vigilante" in the context of this thread i.e. publishing the rego number. I do not and would not condone nor be a part of any actions associated with the more common understanding of the word "vigilante" - I just wanted ...

Typically the police will do nothing as they are on the side of the motorist in almost all cases. They are biased against cyclists, simple as that. Last Sun the cruisers bunch had a guy deliberately turn left into the front of the bunch, causing all of us to have to brake hard to avoid being run ove...

Hi all

As the new jerseys wont be arriving till mid December, anyone know where i can get an older design jersey for the ride.

Cheers
Rui

Yep - contact Simon Llewellyn or Lindsay via a Private Message on this forum. There is stock left from the last run.

I thought you could apply online, but I don't see it NSW membership So it seems that Dave needs to give Lindsay a visit before Sunday As T-Bone said, on-line membership is not available at the moment as they are updating their website, at speeds reminiscent of my web mastering - you can go through ...

$198 / year is the Masters fee. The cost of an elite licence is more ($250 I think). Now is a good time to buy as it should cover you for next year too (check with them though). whoops - forgot there are people under 30 in our club :shock: 2009 Elite rider licence (if you are 29 or younger in the y...

Yes you need a racing licence to ride in the crits and the track omniums. You could buy one (or upgrade your ride licence) over the phone and with the receipt number you can ride. Cost is $198 / year.

Another coupe for our Media Man - Simon S - see this post for the on-line version of the Cooks River Valley Times with a great shot of Jo, Victoria and Jessica at RAW and a good article on the club.

OK - it's finally on-line

Page 16 with the photo

Page 15 with the continuing story and of course there has to be an ad for an adult store on the same page - can't get away from them!

We'll be away for the weekend so no can do - I was going to debut in D grade, riding against myself - a sure 1st place!

I have a gas lamp - it's a Primus fitting but I think I have an extender pole thingo with the correct fitting. MikeBytes has my bottle. PM me if you want it. Pickup only and I'm going out tonight (Fri) for dinner at about 17:00

You'll almost certainly come away thinking you could do this crit thing easily and start budgeting for a racing license come renewal time in January so we can start to get a D grade going! You can buy a racing licence NOW that is valid till the end of 2010 or upgrade your Ride licence - same cost o...

There are also photos from the last night if you haven't seen them already

hi - overnight i had my garage in schwebel st forced and my emc2 and ciocc bikes stolen- very unhappy- police know who did it- but i don't have serial nos. although i do have photos if you see anything resembling them my mobile is 0422 080 692 cheers jonathan :cry: This is bad news indeed.

In Magda's defense, she has since apologised for her comments and has stated that she is going to take part in Ride to Work Day. I am not trying to defend her comments, she was out of line.

So RAW 2009 has been run and won. Congrats to all the riders from all the clubs who participated and a big shout out to team DHBC who featured strongly in the results across the grades and took the club championship. Great to see the club going from strength to strength. Here's a link to a slideshow...

We saw quite a few cruisers who had been dropped. About 5 or six from Capt Cook's bridge all the way to Waterfall. Kept looking up to see where the bunch was, but we only caught them at Loftus right before the servo. Middies were doing a reasonable pace in the wind. I think this sums it up nicely -...

In discussion with Lindsay, who was in discussion with Geoff S and Mike C the Cruisers will be split into two bunches. These will be Cruisers tempo and Cruisers coached. ~ snip ~ Cruisers tempo, this is what the current Cruisers bunch will become. We will make sure there is always at least one coac...

Apparently the broadcast got interrupted by F1 GP but resumed after. The replay will be on OneHD also.

Hmm - The Foxtel guide (menu) guide had a 1 hour session - then something else then another 1 hour session then F1 and then American football .... I'll check it out -

There's a reply on Thurs afternoon. Must watch!

What channel? I recorded the stuff on One Sport early on last night but it was only the first few hours when nobody was really doing anything.

If you use the forum e-mail list then you don't include all the people who never come here. There are plenty. Much better to get the official list from the club and combine it with anyone who has registered on the forum. Good point re those that don't come to the forum Chris - we thought we should ...

Jo & I have the following items to give away. Council will be picking them up on Tuesday 29/9/09 if nobody wants them. Pine Bookshelves: They got left out in the rain so it's a little warped on one side but still OK. 5 shelves. Dimensions are H:2200 W:900 D:310 http://i374.photobucket.com/albums...

He's an electrician is he? Thought he was in IT or telecoms like Geoff S. Great. I need him to look at the wiring in my ceiling.

Miguel is an electrician who also does Telecoms, IT networking and Audio / Visual wiring etc. WE have his email if you want it - PM me.

I'll be at RAW this Friday for my one and only appearance with the DSLR and the video camera. Can't operate both at once so if anyone else is spectating and can operate a video camera that would be great - also, I need a real flash for the DSLR if anyone has one to suit a Nikon D90. Also - I can do ...

Jo & I could do the 12:00 timeslot - Jo with her track bike and me with me gut and road bike to show you don't need to be uber fit to ride ... Jo, are you with me?

and he failed to actually send us an invoice without prompting - very unusual!

Mike, you do realise this is a gay mans magazine you're reading?

It's actually a gay, lesbian and trans-gender newspaper ......

oh, and I'll change the cruisers tempo average to 25kph as that's the real speed ignoring the somewhat chaotic piece from Waterfall to Sutherland.

I'm back! Is this now club policy? If so I'll update the homepage and the road rides page accordingly

Do the TDU challenge!

Lance and Radio Shack to ride the Tour Down Under 2010

Hmmm - I might head down there for a peak.

Here is my apology for being such a grumpy person the last week or so on the forum which reflects my general state of mind. I really have no right to give people sh*t for wanting to ride anywhere else, with anyone else on any given day. I ban myself from the forum for at least one week. It does howe...

I am no fixie rider and you better wait for them to respond. But I get the impression that their plans are firming up for the same day. Well, if some of the best riders and long term members in the club can't be bothered to attend the biggest public ride of the year in club colours and fund raise f...

OK then FI - I'll ride and be a fundraiser for IBM and get a free jersey ....

Surely the club can move the fixie century to a different weekend to allow us to once again be top bicycle club in the fund raising. I'll be riding, hopefully in a better frame of mind and body than last year.

What say the fixie people?

BTW - I didn't mean to diss those in the club who ride fixies - I'm sure they are great training for track. It's just that as a non-racer, purely recreational cyclist I'm over all this posturing on the web and the road. I'm sure it would be a great weekend though - enjoy.

Would the fixie riders be willing to be met by a guard of honour comprising non fixie-owning members (a.k.a wimps) out Liverpool way for some encouragement over the last 20-30kms? Could be a fun ride for the wimps and we can see what real riders are made of! What'a ya mean wimps? I take umbridge at...

This looks good and it's a fav area of NSW for me too. Maybe I could do the 100k's as 160k's is a lot further than I've ever ridden before in one day. I was planning on being up that way in Nov but via motorbike so would have to re-assess travel plans.

I'm a 50/50 maybe. Don't know about Jo.

Ok Camilla, I am not sure what drugs your dr has you on, but I do think that RACING 95ks would be just sufficient, and just little more intense than cruising in a bunch! I could never imagine trying to RACE the whole 228k! Whoa! Personally, I think that riding 95k's is sufficient, let alone racing ...

Umm NO thanks. Gotta paint the office.

Seems that Contador really doesn't like Lance much

This ones for Tim. Jens had me cracking up

That's why I LOVE Jens - "Always the chance that 5 Astana's get attacked by a bear" !!! classic stuff hope he gets better soon

I feel famous now!!! Thanks Artson for putting that up. Great exposure for DHBC and for RAW.

I agree but it needed context - there is no mention of RAW at all. A single para of background would have been good.

I was gutted when my favourite rider, Jens Voigt, crashed but Saxo still piled on the pressure (with Astana too) and they got what they wanted - Wiggins dropped down the order by > 2mins and no longer a threat to GC via the ITT Now, I'm not surprised by this at all: Evans relegated in Silence-Lotto ...

Update applied

Home page now has Michael's on it - BRING IT!

I plan to update the homepage every week with a new pic so of you buy a pic off Action Snaps, let me know. I'd love to get a girls riding shot - from this year

Absolutely I'm faster downhill than Jo - it's got to be because I'm way heavier. And also way slower up hill.

The live feed video was great but the chat moderation SUCKS - the guy is a fascist and wouldn't even let comments like "I think I missed my missuses race" get past so I gave up. Tell the guy to enter the real world.

Here are heaps of shots of our cycling in France in June 2009. They are a mix of DSLR, pocket digital and phone camera shots - enjoy! BTW, they are in no real order!

In the short term and until more are involved in the maintenance of this calendar, just let me know if there's any internal/external events that you'd like to add.

Thanks for volunteering as the calendar updater Weiyun!

yeah, I'm finding the tour a bit soporific this year - no one wants to have a go and challenge Astana at any time - where is the Jens Voigt led crushing of the peleton, the breakaways that actually contain contenders for the GC? It's all very same same every day - certain riders are allowed to escap...

It indeed is true there's common sense involved when it comes to referencing copyright materials. However I object to that "you will respect my authority" line... Unless you are being funny there. As the referenced link is to a South Park segment where 8 year old Cartman becomes a cop and...

Out of curiosity, where's our website policy? If there indeed is one published, maybe we should have it clearly linked for all to read. And I further wonder if the policy has been reviewed, debated and agreed upon within the club community? The policy regarding copyright is common sense and legally...

Good is not good. The reason people use an image hosting service, is because it is considered poor form to hotlink an image without permission from someones server. This uses their bandwidth every time the page is viewed, and on more popular sites can cause significant cost to the owner. There has ...

Be careful even after you have purchased the photograph. I know that I purchased one after last years Spring Cycle and it came with a copyright disclaimer. Often when you purchase an image from a professional photographer, they still own the copyright, it may be timed (i.e. 12 months), but you are ...

The Google Calendar is now embedded in the website. there is a link the navigator menu - Rides Races Calendar and also in the Rides section on the Homepage.

Tell me, why do you measure the gearing size in inches and not centimetres?

So Stuart, how did you find Mt Ventoux? What gearing did you have for the 26km climb? I found it easier than last year - 40 mins faster. I had a Trek 1.2 triple chain ring road bike. The chain rings are 50, 39, 30 with an 8 speed cassette of 11-26 but I couldn't change into the lowest gear due to t...

I wouldn't call Mt Ventoux "much steeper" than RNP. According to published data, it hits a max of 10.5% grade, no more than what RNP hills offer (up to 12% in the last 700m towards Waterfall, 8-11% climbing out Audley towards Sutherland. The rough road surface along the loop doesn't help ...

Based on what I have seen, if one struggles with Kingsway, then the RNP hills will really get you. Not because of the pace of other riders on those climbs but by the steepness. Well, on our recent holiday in France I certainly managed to ride up much steeper and way, way longer climbs than those in...

Was Jo in the bunch? One thing to be said though, Slowies RNP is meant to be a step up from regular Cruisers and participant should expect the ride to be a tad tougher, although we have typically adjusted pace to suit the group of the day. Just yell out. And if you are finding Kingsway hill to be e...

I know its meant to be a no drop ride, and I was prepared to back everyone off so we didn't drop Ron and Stuart. They both said to leave them behind. As for the speed, what is the average speed of the slow bunch meant to be, I though it was 25-27km/h? First up, I would like to say thanks to Christi...

Well, today's ride was really a middies RNP and I got dropped on Kings Way (twice). After I got back on got dropped again on the Princes Hwy - we were averaging 26.7 at Sutherland - too fast for slowies! Ron got dropped as well. I think we need to reiterate that this is supposed to be a SLOWIES ride...

Like the tragic I am a re-wound the crash several times ..... the crasher was in all white while the rider next to him had that hint of yellow - the wonders of iQ.

Are you sure it was Haussler who caused it? Anyway, get ready for tonight's show. It'll be a struggle to try to pull myself up for the morning ride. Chance... 0%. From http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/crash-chaos-just-add-water Carlos Sastre fell early on in the race but was unaffected by the crash....

Hi all, just for a little clarification... My surname is officially Norman, yes Camilla and I were separated at birth. I canged my surname from Ingegneri to Norman as noone could say my name. So instead I confused everyone by using them both from time to time :s I'll stick with Norman, it's easy fo...

I was hoping that David Millar would hang on to win but at least Cavendish didn't win again. Seems that Rogers is cursed at the tour, especially as be was brought down by Aussie / German Heinrich Haussler. Poor bastard.

Great work Simon - BTW Jessica Norman is actually Jessica Ingegneri - The names were wrong on the RAW site - I think that Artson mixed up her last name with Camilla's. I thought somebody else would notice and tell him but it wasn't to be.

And just who is Jessica Norman? Camilla's sister or somebody I don't know??

100 style points to Victoria for drinking James Squire.

Sometimes two at once!!

Jo & I are starters which means that a very SLOW slowie (i.e. me) will be attending. You're not allowed to drop me too badly before we get to Waterfall (that is the easier way isn't it?). I have dibs on 2nd or 3rd wheel all the way in a single line bunch! The girls can take turns on the front - ...

Silence lotto are still doing well despite the crash. The sound of the carbon bike sliding along the ground was terrible. Hmm - can't agree there! Looks like the tour is over for Cadel as far as the GC is concerned, I just hope he actually tries to win a stage this year but won't hold my breath as ...

So the night was a huge success (I think). Hope everyone had fun and enjoyed the food. Here's a link to some pictures of the night A big thank you goes out to all who contributed. From Jo: Thanks to Ted for toasting a mean burger, Anna for the home made cakes that were gone in the first round, Mark ...
