Tempting, but i'm busy that weekend, and the following 2 weeks.

Halloween omnium sounds great! To make it really scary, let's go down to tempe late one night, turn the lights off and run two concurrant A and B madisons, one going clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. Meanwhile, I will tell ghost stories in the stand. I think i'll listen to the ghost stories on t...

It looks a bit wet up there.

Peter is travelling with Al. I've found out Bill is no longer going, but Ron is going and should be able to drive the car for you. Also, Al said could a couple of you pack sleeping bags just in case they're needed in Inverell, though i believe there will most likely be a bed for everyone. Hopefully ...

It's not lactic, just DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Your body won't take that long to convert any lactic acid from your muscles back into something useful. DOMS generally occurs when you do something your body isn't used to (increase in training load, change in muscle usage, a cyclist going ...

T-Bone

still can't get onto the DHBC website at work (shakes fist at USyd IT Security).

I agree, don't those IT guys know i need to check the forum during my lectures.

T-Bone

It sounds like the healing is progressing well. It's very good to hear!

Your range of movement should slowly come back with increased activity and strength, though it will also depend on whether any thing else is causing a restriction, just keep up those physio exercises!!

T-Bone

I don't have his number, but i'll probably talk to Al again tomorrow, so i'll let you know.

T-Bone

Great report Tim! Not too much happened after the group shrank. I managed to ride all the way up the Stanwell climb, i did stop once (i believe i must have been just taking in the view), and then got a small push from Ian to get going again. At the top Nathan called for a lift, but we quickly convin...

T-Bone

Mike, i think Bill was going up as well, so he'd probably be able to drive the car for you. Just need to check with Al.

I like the sound of the 24hr, though i'm not sure how we would keep it interesting, or how we would count the laps.

Fixie Century Prologue HERE

I think the plan was to ride all the way from Marrickville, probably with a stop at the pub/brewery in Picton. We can sort out the leaving time/ travel methods during the week.

He broke his own bike on it's first ride, but he did get a set of Oakleys for the effort. In our 4 man team (formerly 3 mixed, formerly 4 mixed), we had a great time, though we did have to get a mechanical out of the way early when Lindsay broke his chain on the 2nd lap (which left us at the back ea...

T-Bone

I'll probably talk to Al tomorrow night. I'm not riding, but may go up to be a feeder if needed.

T-Bone

If i didn't have to work, i would be there.

T-Bone

I had a look at the weather forecast.......

T-Bone

He actually has to wait another year.

T-Bone

Sounds good, i need to know what needs to be taken.

T-Bone

Oktoberfest goes the whole month.... Next week's the long weekend!

Oktoberfest only runs until the first weekend in October. This year it runs until October 3rd.

Since the topic is titled Octoberfest, you could say it is more about the October bit than a misspelling of the beer festival.

T-Bone

I had to work. I might be there on Sunday night!

T-Bone

Is this followed by a trip to Oktoberfest at the German Club??

If it is, then would need to be Next Saturday, 1st October.

Geoff is currently VP.

Just a note. Bernard Riders is licensed to sell alcohol, and the usual Laws do apply (no persons under 18yo).

It was some great riding!

A little training inspiration for Timmy.

I think Tim has been missing the hurdles. They must be the key!!

You were in Vegas a few weeks early, Interbike isn't on until the 14th.

T-Bone

Great racing this afternoon, with a nice close result between teams Bernard Beer and Jittery Joes, but well done to Matt and Patrick for their win! Post race there was a bit of confusion as me and Tim thought we had won, and it wasn't until we later checked the recorded results for the sprints and a...

I'll upload the Upwords photo at some point.

T-Bone

That's very early!!

I might have to consider something else to get my mountain fix.

T-Bone

Not much point making it known on the forum everyone, you'll have to talk to Al.

T-Bone

You can certainly "strengthen", but one key difference b/n the sports is that bikes have alterable gearing while swimmers/runners don't.

I think you responded to that one back in March!

T-Bone

Good Luck!! and Have Fun!!

T-Bone

PS did somebody see a black arm warmer left behind last night?

It's in the Kitchen!

T-Bone

Is there anything on the 17th??

T-Bone

Just don't put it on the 24th and i should be able to make it.

T-Bone

I'm just waiting for Simon to let me know if he can get the weekend off, then i'll be sorting my team out (hopefully the next couple of days).

T-Bone

I think the best options are really a short series of races close together, or individual races spread apart more (every 2nd month). The short series has the issue of people wanting to do longer rides on some of the weekends, especially when scheduled on a Sunday morning (though i don't really see a...

The 2 pics i took at the race..... i was busy riding, eating, relaxing.

I remember the green team going from last after round 1, to 2nd, and getting caught in the Italian....

In other news, i'm moving up to Div 2, but there will be a Bernard rider to take my place in Div 3.

I found some photos HERE

This is where my Mountain Biking career begins. I decided to buy a mountain bike a few weeks back, and then had an opportunity to do the Jet Black 12hr, so i thought why not jump straight in. With only 1 previous MTB ride, and having never ridden the new bike, it seemed like a reasonable idea to do ...

Should probably update to the new meeting point.

There's a photo of Alex as well.

Eugene hasn't been on the club handicaps that have been sent in recently, so i'm pretty sure they've gone on his previous performances. We should be able to fix this up for his next race.

The second lot of Cootamundra road opens for the year are coming up in a few weeks. Entries close next weekend (14th). I believe the course has changed from previous years for the Saturday race, but it's still a nice long 120km handicap. The Sunday recovery race should be the usual 3 laps. I'll prob...

T-Bone

I should add in my last few days of the month, just need to load the garmin.

T-Bone

I just have a cheap grease gun similar to THIS. It does the job, since all you're doing is pumping the grease through the pedal body. For the cleats a dry chain lube is fine.

This all reminds me, i should actually give my pedals a bit of maintenance one of these days.

T-Bone

Race report coming soon, but i ended up with 7th out of the under 23s and 19th overal, so Im reasonably happy.

and 4th the next day.

T-Bone

i'll make the early start just for the 6am pre ride coffee!!!

I think i've sorted out my home espresso situation finally, but i could end up at rides on time with coffee on offer.

T-Bone

Just start doing some easy spinning Mike. Your muscles should improve with a bit of easy movement.

T-Bone

Could have been my dad, i think he was riding that way.

T-Bone

I've got a mountain bike now, so i need some practice too.

T-Bone

Great result Jo!!

I rode past the regatta centre in the morning, but i was on my way to ride some hills with the Bernard Boys.

T-Bone

That's the way Tim, wipe those races from the memory bank!

T-Bone

There's nothing wrong with the handicapping.

For the budget, Shimano RS80 are probably your best choice. Custom can be good, but requires a bit of shopping around to get the best value.

If they made a 32 hole rim I'd buy it and build my Powertap into it for training and wet racing.

What about a Velocity A23 rim??

T-Bone

No coffee?!! The only reason I ever do the waterfall ride with the club is the coffee

So, when we're not riding, it's not because we've had a late night and couldn't wake up, it's just we didn't need coffee!!

T-Bone

Good to hear Eugene is racing. I've been meaning to get in contact with him, but i have a habit of forgetting to actually do it.

It's a great race, doesn't take long to get there. There's one hill to take note of, and the roads can be a bit dead, but apart from that, nothing to be concerned with.

It was my consecutive 2nd places that got me through.

I last at least half the race, but usually get bored, and it's even worse when it's wet. I think i'm skipping it this year.

I've entered Ride for Life, and Kurrajong (the week after). Still have 40mins to decide on the Sydney Road Titles, which is really just a high speed training ride for me (just hang on the back as long as i can).
