Re: Anzac Day Ride

Unfortunately for me that egg shaped lump on my shin expanded quickly when I got home, eventually exploding. Sadly my leg will need to be amputated below the knee. But the good news is that the doctor says I should still be ok to ride one legged. The other really good news is that the bike is not d...

Friday 18th RNP Wollongong Mt Kera

I'm visiting Wollongong tomorrow (Easter Friday) so I'd thought I'd ride down and catch a few extra hills. I'm riding one way, but nothing stopping you riding home

Adam, Rob and any others, could you please PM me your email address, age as at 31/12/2014 and a description of your racing.

Hopefully we can get even teams, which makes it more fun

Re: Team Time Trials - 19th July 2014 at Nowra

Maybe one way of splitting the teams is to record elapsed time for 5 laps of Centennial Park
Ideally we want to be of similar performance in the same team. Not always possible.

A better gauge of performance is to come out to ATTA at Calga on 4th of May and do the 25k ITT

I've entered the hill climb, which I assume I'll suck in. Crit will depend on grading. Haven't decided on the sportif

Simon, for the hill climb, am I over geared on 39-23. I do have a 25 cassette I could swap on

Surprised not to see a thread on this.

Entries are still open for the Saturday NSW Hill climb champs and the Bathurst Crit. I suspect they will be closed sometime today.

The Sportif on Sunday is still open and its available to a ride-it license, race license not required.

And what is the dragway course like - is it similar to the speedway? The masters will be graded, ie A, B, C. Number of grades depends ...
