I should be heading down there again next week, but i'm thinking about coming back along the coast, so it might take slightly longer.

T-Bone

So, they must be able to detect 400times more than what they have?? or is that just the standard the Laboratories must meet?? Such a small amount detected (unless it doesn't stay in the body for long??) seems unlikely to be intentional doping, especially as he passed all the other doping controls. I...

I was there too!! 260km of Macquarie Pass suffering!! Here's the Training Log . It was a hard day with a fair bit of wind, but luckily John and Alex were there to tow me along (especially the last 100km). I think i got a bit dehydrated as my legs weren't extremely tired, but my whole body was tired....

It should be available on Wednesday, though stock levels haven't been updated since 15/09/10.

T-Bone

From memory, my large size frame weighed around 1350g, can't remember exactly. Van Nicholas make some very nice frames, so there'll be no reduction in quality, but you'll probably have to wait for them to come in, as there's only a couple of large Ti frames in stock at the moment. Other things to re...

T-Bone

Planet X Ti frames are made by Lynskey, and at current exchange rates, just over $1200AUD. A fair bit cheaper than when i got mine.

T-Bone

I agree!! I have to also say, the german club is great for recovery, not to mention it making me feel like going to sleep early than usual!

T-Bone

6:30 is good for me

T-Bone

Don't ride off the front in Grafton or you'll pay for it later on.

T-Bone

No one said anything about dressing up as a clown!!!

T-Bone

I'm in provided i don't drink too much German beer on saturday night (Oktoberfest at the German Club).

Depending on how i feel i may continue south at Stanwell tops.

T-Bone

Should have let me know about the 280kms, but i've been trying to catch up on sleep, so maybe it's best i didn't go.

T-Bone

My old DMT's have the carbon sole coming away at the heel a bit, but since i've got new shoes i haven't bothered glueing them again.

I don't think we're having a penny race, just a demonstration. I'm not willing to risk the Penny sliding down the banking.

Although, since the cyclingNSW race calender and the actual Grafton to Inverell website both say entries close on 10th October, i reckon there's still a little bit of room for people to argue their way in.

I'm willing to make the sacrifice and swap jobs for the drinking coffee and eating job.

T-Bone

Should be on ONE HD like last year.

T-Bone

Or THIS option. Seems like a fancy bit of foam.

T-Bone

I've got my entry in now, just to be safe.

Peter, Mike, Alex, you'd better get your entries in now, just to make sure you don't miss out. (Though you could argue that everywhere else states entries closing 10th October...)

T-Bone

Here is the updated stock levels and purchase procedure. The club jerseys come in either unisex or women's cut, however some ladies will find the unisex cut to fit better. Otherwise both styles come in short sleeves with full length zipper and 3 elasticised pockets at the back. They are constructed ...

Currently it's easiest to go to the track on a Monday or Wednesday night and pay cash. Someone there will be able to direct you to the correct person to speak to. Both sizes are in stock as of last night. I will be updating the apparel purchasing procedure tonight to make it all a bit clearer, inclu...

T-Bone

I agree, best to stick to the Princes Hwy, and travel via Mt Kiera, Bulli Pass, or Stanwell tops.

T-Bone

To answer the coffeeshop question, I checked and Lightweights are available in a 650c version.

Yesterdays training HERE 260km of suffering, and i was ready to pull the pin after really struggling up Macquarie Pass at 120km, but 2 pies seemed to save the day. Mechanicals: 1 x broken spoke, 1 x low pressure tubeless tyre for close to 100km, before it finally gave up in Earlwood and i had to chu...

T-Bone

Forget Black Mountain. I'm sure Alex will agree that some training rides to Corin Dam are a must.....

T-Bone

Just have to decide if i can afford multiple weekends at the Concordia club, especially with Oktoberfest coming soon. Should be able to get down there.

T-Bone

O'Grady will have to sort out his preparation since Riis pulled him out of the Vuelta.

T-Bone

Saturdays Race I started in the same bunch as Mike, and we were working well until we got out of town, and then everyone just stopped rolling through, except for 3 of us trying to keep the pace up above 40 while the wind wasn't too much against us. Then the hill came along, and being really annoyed ...

T-Bone

Was it 10th place in the end??

Either way, Great effort!!

T-Bone

That explains it, you meant compared to last years race....

T-Bone

According to what i'm looking at, me and John are in exactly the same bunches we were in before.

T-Bone

hmm ok thats weird my names not on the start list (i assume the first group after limit) and i did enter. Ill have to ring cycling nsw.

27mins, Bunch 8. Maybe you missed it, or it appeared after.....

T-Bone

Handicaps look alright. Seems like they've been watching you on the track John.

I'm just waiting for a week that i'm not sick or recovering from being sick, and this weekend i think i'll still be in the slow recovering stage.

T-Bone

Post the build progress, as long as there are some good photos.

T-Bone

Just clamp the steerer in a vice, and you should be able to get the stem out as usual.

T-Bone

Mine has been flawless so far. I've got it built up with and Alpha Q GS-10 fork and Cane Creek 110 headset. The Frame is stiff enough and rides predictably.

Anything specific you want to know? let me know.

T-Bone

Hmm, no Haussler, no Renshaw....

T-Bone

Hopefully Matt's been through surgery and is on his way to a speedy recovery.

Also, Well done Hugo onthe 2nd place.

I believe those adapters are for certain players/phones, where you can't push most standard headphone jacks in far enough to work. Can't be bothered searching for it, but i do remember reading something about that sort of thing in the past.

T-Bone

I'll discuss it at the next meeting. It will have to be a new section, but we can see what the interest is like from this poll.

'll put myself down for now, but i may be doing Warnambool, so i'll confirm shortly.

T-Bone

Grades are HERE

D Grade seems to basically be a corporate race. C is a good starting point, even though some of the country opens would have a wider handicapping range, you generally won't get much easier than this when it's an Open held in or close to Sydney.

T-Bone

Hmm, maybe 14th isn't so good then.....

Bull horns are fine as long as you have 2 hand brakes.

T-Bone

C-Grade is starting at 8:20am now.

T-Bone

I will confirm shortly, but currently 14th November is looking likely. Just need to confirm accommodation.

T-Bone

Ok, I'm in!

I've never really suffered any arm injuries in my crashes, much more likely to get massive scrapes on my hip. I have however been knocked out in a crash and ended up in hospital.

I believe hazard lights only excuse you for parking in the middle of the road if you're car is actually unable to move under it's own power, otherwise he should at least be pulling over to the side of the road before causing Havoc. Since it was Terry's right knee, this could have all been avoided if...

Taxi's...... probably hard to avoid them when they're dropping passengers off in the middle of the road.

I'll be riding out from Micks.

I've been looking around for some nice race wheels for the road. Something around 50mm. What i'm pondering at the moment is regarding rear wheels.

Haven't been able to get onto the Shirley in Bethungra (i'm guessing they may be on holidays or something), so i've booked us in at 2 Motels in Coota. Didn't want to leave it any longer, otherwise we could have been staying 50mins drive away in Jugiong.

There should be some carpooling going on. Just have to see who is going first.

I don't give myself much of a chance for this. Just hoping i'm a bit healthier.

T-Bone

I can confirm that the Miche Advanced chainrings are 144, and seeing as one is attached to the cranks in the pic, i guess we assume the cranks are too.

T-Bone

Seems this thread is becoming "Awesome road pics"

At least they're all cycling pics.

T-Bone

I'm probably out now, managed to get sick again.

T-Bone

i lost by .062?!?!!! or more!!!

Mike was 36.832km/hr, you were 33.848km/hr, so you were technically .016km/hr in front. However, due to possible inaccuracies in measurements of the distance, the difference is not significant enough to declare a winner.

T-Bone

I'm up for RNP, though not sure i want to get up earlier. Maybe ride out with fasties and into the park at Waterfall.

T-Bone

mikes was rounded down as well.

T-Bone

Average Speeds
Alex - 36.9km/hr
Joshua - 41.9km/hr

Well, it's 1 month away now, so time to get things organised for another great road open. Saturday is a nice long 120km handicap with a few hills, though they mainly come at around 80kms. If you're doing Grafton this will probably be your last chance for a nice long road race before the big one (unl...

T-Bone

Actually, looking back at my distances from the team time trial. The distance for Tim is actually 36.5km. Therefore, Tims Average is 33.848km/hr.

So, i declare a Tie!! Perfect handicapping choice with the 3km/hr difference.

Hmm, now i'm really kicking myself for not reading the rules all the way through originally. They've updated the end of tour points on the sbs comp, and i've made my big move all the way up to 7th place overall!!!! Only 80points off $20,000. I'd say it mostly came down to missing the transfer cut of...

Tour news update

Hit and Run incident at the tour!

T-Bone

Good news tonight!!!

SBS will be showing 4 stages of the Vuelta this year!!!

T-Bone

It's because they're using a different course to previous years, most people should have known anyway, as it's the same course as the team time trial was. It's a harder course as well, so 36.8km is plenty.

T-Bone

That is a fair bit of blood on that motorbike!!

As for Jens bike, Mavic must have gone with a one size fits all approach for the neutral spares.

I'm hoping for a big attack from Angry Andy. He had Contador dropped before his chain couldn't take it.

There's a foot peg on the backbone that you use to scooter along and then get onto the seat as the penny is moving.

Maybe you should try practicing first!! They go as fast as the rider can pedal, Bigger wheel is better as it basically means a bigger gear.

The punishments are not very consistent at this tour. Surely Dean should have been penalised for not holding his line, which in turn required Renshaw to fend him off with his head. I agree Renshaw didn't hold a straight sprint after Cavendish went past, but surely that's just a fine and relegation. ...

T-Bone

You stay in Inverell. It's 228km back to Grafton.

It seems Al had me down for accommodation already.

For the women, you will need to be staying in Glen Innes before the race, as that's where it starts and where sign on is (on the friday).

T-Bone

It's still several months away, but apparently accommodation is getting very difficult to find.

So, the question is who is planning to race???

Entries close on October 10th.

Well done Joshua, a great effort for your first open. You should have gone for the win, as with 15 riders together no one can really get the blame.

Anyway, your handicap will change a little, but it will just help make you stronger.

Tyler had his own incident. He had to stop and detach another bike from his own.
