Fyi: Geoff Martin and myself are planning to head down to Nowra/Jervis Bay on the weekend of 21/22 July to participate in this handicap road race. The details are at: http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/cy_nsw/races/?f=2012/12112/12112.htm There is also a NSW Club Team Time Trial Championships on the day ...

Thanks Mike, I rode through RNP this morning and came back nice a dry. It's so much nicer than the old netti, sweaty, plastic thingy.

Adrian E

Mike, I would say its comparable to Saturday Heffron although maybe a slightly smaller field. You should be in B grade; C grade if you want to burgle and/or lead me out

Adrian E

Hi taybellz,
Hope you're enjoying the new jacket. I believe Maurice may have missed out on applying your 10% dhbc discount so you might want to drop back in and pick up a spare tube to cover it.
Cheers
Adrian

Adrian E

w00t! I'm actually free that sunday. Who's coming?

Adrian E

HI taybellz,
Probably not a good idea. We're closed Wednesday!
Open every other day from 10am to 6pm.
Cheers

Hi Folks, The German outdoor clothing company Vaude has recently stopped distribution in Australia. Glowworm Bicycles has picked up the remainder of the Vaude cycling stock including rain jackets, pants and gloves which which are all now 50% off the RRP (as below). For Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club memb...

Adrian E

Yes it was great. Perfect morning for a very cruisy 45km out to LaPa with some detours at Maroubra Beach and Malabar. The coffee at the Bourke Street Bakery. I might do it next Monday as well since I'm working Sat + Sun.

Adrian E

I'm meeting Geoff Martin at 6:30am at the hub. Feel free to join us.

Adrian E

I'm feeling a little grumpy after 3 days without any riding (real riding). Would anyone like to head down to LaPa in the morning? I'll be taking the single speed for good measure. Let me know if you're interested. I was planning to leave from the Newtown Hub at 6am and head over to Moore Park then d...

Fyi: some of you may be interested in this blog which I write: http://www.bikewise.com.au/news/
We've just relocated the old blog into the new webpage. Its mostly about practical ideas for everyday cycling although some of things we talk about may be of interest to training and racing cyclists.

Adrian E

Yes, I'm at glowworm. We are electric and urban bike specialists but we service all bikes and have a large stock of bike parts/consumables at good prices. We are local and cheaper than the city stalls. Talk to Griffin or Abraham for roadie service/repairs.

Adrian E

I started the Dinnerville with one goal in mind which was not to get dropped on the final lap. I still had memories of falling off the back of the bunch the last time I raced the Dinnerville in 2008! Our bunch, as Taylor and Simon, have mentioned was not working that well with a lot of people failin...

Adrian E

Mike,
As Lizanne said, they've just started doing this. You can come and have a look at the bike in the shop Sat/Sun or call me Mon/Tues and should be able to show you. I'm working at the sister shop Glowworm Bicycles around the cnr on Addision Rd.

Adrian E

I raced at Heffron on Saturday afternoon in C grade. DHBC was well represented with Alex Chubbs and John Nugyen in A grade; and Glenn and Christian in B grade. C grade was a very aggressive race. The Easts club had 10 riders in the field of 18 so they raced very tactically as a team (which felt a li...

Adrian E

Hi James, both Eleri and I are also in Netown but I figure it's nicer is we all roll over as a group. I know the way from Marricville Rd and its not that much of a detour. It's also a good warm up!

Adrian E

Hi Eleri,
Yes, I'll be riding. see you at 6:30 at the cafe.

Adrian E

I have a Front Bontrager Race wheel up for grabs. It's 4 years old and has never gone out of true but I don't have the space for it. It's a good wheel and it's free. I also have a rear Halo 32 spoke wheel (for 8,9,10sp Shimano). It's got one broken spoke and the alloy spine on the hub is worn from t...

Adrian E

No sausage sizzle from memory but there is a coffee cart.

I'm looking forward to this. Hope lots of DHBC people come along to race.

Adrian E

I'm really annoyed I coudn't be there this morning. I've been rostered to work every Wednesday morning to the end of June. Next week I'll be working with the City of Sydney at Taylor Square. If you want to finish your ride there, we'll have free coffee and bike tune ups, and I'll probably give a BBB...

Adrian E

This morning I raced at Eastern Creek in the Ashfield Cycles / Specialized Cup with Waratah Vets. It was a bit of a strange morning. Patrick/Paddy from RBCC drove me out there but we missed a turn on the M4 and arrived late just as they were starting the race. After quickly paying our entry fee, we ...

Adrian E

Woho! Looking forward to it.

Adrian E

I'd say that was Alan. We did the eastern suburbs hills this morning along with Lizanne, Ben and Rhys.

Adrian E

Anyone not have to go to work tommorrow?
http://www.sydneycyclist.com/profiles/b ... -york-lane
I'll be going.

Adrian E

Stuart,
I can lend you a Triple bar-end shifter if you need it. It actulaly works better that STI as you can make minor adjustments to stop chain rub which is more of an issue on triples.

Wohoo. We've got a cheer squad. Now we just need some more riders!

Adrian E

Hi Noel,

I can't race this Sunday as I'm looking after Eddy but was I was going to ride out there with Eddy in the cargo bike and enjoy the racing with a coffee :-0 I'll be riding a different route so I'll probably see you there.

Cheers

Adrian

The carvan park was full when I called. I just booked a room at the Lawson Park Hotel. http://www.lawsonparkhotel.com/accommodation.html
There was one room left. I'd get in quick!

Adrian E

ha! Enjoy...

well Pia's making a chocolate cake so I can't complain : )

Adrian E

Pia and I will be watching the track worlds tonight from 7pm. Please join us if you'd like to watch the racing and have a drink with us. Our address is 30/71 Alice Street, Newtown.

If you're coming, please let me know so I can guess if how much space well need. Give me a buzz on 0405 358 253.

Hi Russell, Sorry for my late response. Yes I meant 6;15 for 7am sign on. I'm sure you could sign on latter but it's always good to be early in case you get a flat and you can always do some more warm up laps. I'm going to head over at 6:15 to Marrickville Rd Cafe and see if anyone else is coming. I...

Adrian E

Hi Russell, I'm pretty keen to do some more racing. If you'd like to ride over together, I'll leave Marrickville Rd Cafe at around 7:15. I'll be riding C grade. I'd probably do D grade if it was my first time there (although there is not that much difference in speed between the two grades). Can tal...

Well done Lizanne. Good tactics. If the others fear your kick, then it's their job to them to try to do something about it. Not to get you to drag them around the circuit. That's racing. My race was a bit of a surprise. I hadn't raced since June last year and felt nervous. I'd come off the back two ...

I tried putting them on my single speed yesterday but were just to tight to get in my preferred 18T freehwheel. I'm going to ride my tourer now which will be heavy and slow, but whats the ...

Adrian E

Hi Rhys, I'd say it would be doable but risky unless you take it easy. Unlike the the strade bianche which I thinks is more compacted clay with some gravel, I think some of the Hawkesbury roads would have a lot more sand snad-traps which would be a bit more of an issue. I'll contact Howard and Bec t...

It's about an hours ride if you go straight up the hwy from North Sydney.

Unfortunately i'm looking like a non-started. Got Eddy that weekend... Hopefully I'll get another chance latter in the month.

Adrian E

yeah we did. From memory there only one train we could get to get there by 6:15am. With some of the Summer Audax rides that start at 6am I've pretty much found it impossible to get there by PT. Of courses there is always the hard core option of riding to the start!

Adrian E

Sooo tempting....

@ Mike, yes, slow and steady is the way. When I was 21, I went from 113kg to 73kg and it took me 12 months of absoulte dedication to take it off an keep it off (mostly swimming and diet). I know how to loose weight. My recent inflation is the worst I've had in a decade of maintaining my weight after...

Adrian E

I had a hell of a shock a few months ago when I realised that I'd ballooned out to 84kg after months of not riding, being time poor, stressed and eating badly. So two months ago, I quit my annual train pass and returned to riding to work each day (which is 50kms a day) and I've been watching my diet...

I spoke to Eugene. He didn't sound pleased about being bumped into Div 2 since its his first race in a few years. I think he won or placed high in this race several years ago, so he may have reputation in the eyes of the handicappers.

Have a fantastic race everyone.
