Excellent racing guys - congrats. Bill your not far off the money mate.

micklan

Hey William - Heffron should be next week for me - but hope to make the training ride this Sunday

micklan

Drivers just don't see the flash of a cyclist, especially older drivers, we also sit higher than a car and I'd say we see more than them. Up the side or turning etc, eye contact and Er on side of caution. Owning the lane is a bold move as an individual rider, and indeed crucial at times. [[As a grou...

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc106/micklan/Bullet%201/dragimage.jpg OK so it fined up today (Sun 2 March) – started off on a ride at 3.30 to Cape Solander via Kurnell. Got to the Mercure Hotel on Marsh St, just carefully plodding along on the footpath, behind a couple of cyclists, a little gi...

micklan

Mike - great to see you on the podium. With those $ winnings you can start the negative gearing etc, offshore tax haven, tax benefit schedule

micklan

Good reports - great claw back William. The wid must of been a killer

micklan

Hi I would of gone with the 6.30 crew - no go as the road is wet - I'll let it dry and go later

micklan

see how I feel

micklan

Tim, given the above its best you do seek professional advice, perhaps a GP first on the tendons. Geoff's experience is concerning to say the least. My case was acute tendonitis
(BTW: the Physio I saw at Town Hall medical centre, Paulo, is from the Italian town where Pinarellos are made in Treviso).

micklan

Thanks Michael, thats basically the same exercise I do at the gym, except I've got 200kg on my shoulders.

500 kgs at least should be placed on the shoulders

micklan

*Caution* the strength exercises should be done only when the inflamed tendon has recovered. (I also took an antihistamine to lessen the inflammation when mine went off) 1. Leaning face first to a wall, hands up and spread, like your being frisked, (body at about 15-20 degrees?) raise and lower the ...

micklan

Tim i did the same thing a while ago with both angkles after a jog - it was acute - went to the physio for relief - he said it was from tight/tense/pressure in calf muscles. the physio worked on the tension, and determined the cause and where exactly on the tendo the pain was, they also some current...

micklan

[/quote] Studies have shown that down to 85-90psi, there's no adverse effect on the rolling resistance. [/quote]

As always, interesting data Weiyun

micklan

Hey Chris - thanks mate. I should be a slowies this week, so if its not too much trouble.

Spin sessions at Tempe - Thurs 28 Feb - are they on?

micklan

[quote]"They would be entitled to claim their travel costs to competitions where the prizes won would be part of their income"/quote]

So I will buy a carton of crunchies enroute to Heffron and claim it as a travel realted cost

micklan

Thanks for the information. I will as Mike say's: "suck it and see", plus:
1. tyre presure reduction
2. adjustments to riding position
3. try the post

micklan

No

Mate, can you be a bit more specific

micklan

have you tried a full carbon bike yet?

No - but I've heard you have Adrian - and the judder?

micklan

I would like to make my ride smoother. At 120 psi to maybe not have all vibration transfered. Q. can a carbon seat post assist?

micklan

Before my bike race on Saturday, I determined that crunchie bars had 7gms more sugar that cheery ripe's, both selling for $2. Still didn't win though Yeah you need to eat 20 of them Mike, all at once Nutritional Information: Per serving Per 100g Energy 2030.00kJ Protein 5.60g Fat 20.40g Includes sa...

micklan

Weiyun - is that the term? I thought if i bonked i would be nude - but i may of well been nude and jogged home the way I felt. indeed it was an odd feeling, i felt well, not sick, hangover or over exercised, just had zero strength in the legs. Feel asleep as soon as i got home, in me cycle gear to b...

micklan

I will like to help out at this event. who gets to ride the pace motobike?

micklan

Yesterday I ran out of everything - first time ever my backside was like bone and aching, my thighs had nothing. I limped back, James and the bunch flew past me on Captain Cook bridge and James said (sic) "get up". well get up indeed.. - (thanks Joanne and partner for waiting for me - poor...

micklan

Now, with open roads like that, didn't you wished you had your Europa with you? Um, yeah/but no/but. The roads are shared with trucks, tuk tuk and bus sometimes all at once - thus you go off road...often. Although it would make a great Criterium for a "Tour de Angkor", its a dead flat tra...

micklan

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc106/micklan/Cambodia/stead.jpg This is not a Huffy. Completed a 40km loop on it, flat terrain, no punctures, but did come across others with punctures, and the fix it stalls enroute, The rear drum brake was very noisy http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc106/mic...

micklan

How was the new frame under race conditions?

Frame: can feel I'm driving a a bigger frame/machine, still fiddling with seat height - dropped seat height another 1cm after the race on the ride home and it seemed to give a big boost in up stroke power. It handled better than the last frame.

micklan

Cheers fellas. 97 ain't the ton but is very old for sure.

The Heffron track on Sat was dry with x 2 small puddles, windy slight (compared to other weeks) Sth easter. Rider numbers down a little on other days.

micklan

I think Geoff's idea of the second Sat of the month as a declared DH Heffron Park day is a good one. http://www.dhbc.org.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=401 Sat 2 Feb I was the only DH rider in a sea of FRF blue. E grade I didn't finish. No flat tyre, its my head is not in the right place at present - my 9...

micklan

Outstanding - in full kit too! No need to repeat at the track - just roll the tape each time we win.

micklan

Hi Weiyun. I haven't seen the frame yet. But apparently the lug puncture may have had incorrect calibration applied. I'll check and advise.

micklan

Adrian, on Sunday at Bobos you mentioned frame warranty. Interestingly on Sunday arvo I put my Europa in for service - John called me on Tues and said service went well...but. There is a hairline fracture around the lug for water bottle cage...could be 1 month or 1 year. The frame comes with a two y...

micklan

Exciting stuff...!

micklan

I'd say negative on the racing today - nothing on the RBCC website...

micklan

i carry 1 tube. there was a day when i had 2 flats in one day I think. exploding flats, and one where I even had to replace the tyre due to a very invasive kinda 5mm diameter stab puncture to the tyre . but i got continetal tyres, mr tuffy and she's been ok since then - thank you cyclops, touch wood...

micklan

Thank you Dr Weiyun
Good night

micklan

Hi - golfers get their swing filmed by the pro and the video is then analyzed and improvements made - we could ger a motor bike to follow us and film

micklan

I'd much prefer to race instead of the roller session or combine a warm up roller then track, thats for sure. I hope to work on that...First races and Heffron other riders remarked: that was a "good work out" , and I thought indeed it was - but that was with Weiyun leading the pack to pain...

micklan

In E grade last week Greg wound up his 54/17? windmill (I think), to beat me on the straight.
Wet track - need to access on the day I guess.

micklan

Oustanding. Is the club song the same as Drummoyne Dirty reds rugby, i.e. to the tune of La Marseillaise? (the national anthem of France).

D grade Work Christmas party was on Friday night – so I drove to Heffron after a 2am er. Geoff gave a pre-race strategy talk; and then we were off. On about lap 5 a break took place down the main straight and Chris was in it – I didn't stay with them. Kept going and Michael (K) was there too. On the...

micklan

thats an alright average speed Weiyun?

micklan

It's such a sad tragic story. I've no faith in paying a bicycle rego fee to rta for bike riding. It's nearly $800 to register (including green slip), my lpg ute each year and I'm driving on the same potholed roads I did 20 years ago. This is not negative humdrum - it is fact. RTA distribution of my ...

micklan

I was thinking of the logo for Bikin' Buns.
An example is the logo for Apex glass: "Let us take care of you crack"

micklan

Lindsay you might want to think of the logo and name together. this to get the logo on stickers, branding, there could be some great logos from the logos listed

micklan

With my first ride in a combined E&D grade on Sat. Should I go in D grade again this Sat or relegate myself to E grade, based in expected nos and one race? Do we get a choice on this?

BTW - i sweat buckets, especially in humid conditions. I can sweat in a cold room

micklan

Yes I've tried the badana for training rides, but the amount of sweat is a lot, thus it still saturates the bandana and has no cooling effect in a long ride. Does assist with sunburn (thru a helmet), on a long ride where hair is a little sparse... But - for the Heffron races = very good idea. I will...

micklan

Sunnies, wasn't sure which way to go, as the day was overcast and with a new track it may help not to wear in order to see new bumps or cracks. I sweat a lot when riding, runs into my eyes and I always need to wipe with the rear of the glove. Glare, sunnies are good for this, but can't access a stin...

micklan

Race Report Well my first race at Heffron, and even the first ride on that track, recreational or otherwise. I rode to Heffron from Wolli Ck in order to warm up. Started getting anxious - too late for rego, too buggered, southerly wind, hows the race work, etc. Saw Weiyun in the car park, did a a w...

micklan

Thanks Mike for the photos and Weiyun for the accolades, it was a blast. You never looked like losing the race mate! Well done. It was my first race at Heffron, hadn't even riden there recreationally. I can think of nothing better to do - than doing it again next week...in my DHBC jersey.

micklan

how many laps kms for the ride at Heffron? or is time based

micklan

Mike - at the velodrome you mentioned racing Sat 8 Dec. I think E grade is my style at Heffron (if E grade is as low as ya can go that is) - do you know what time it starts?
Thanks

Hi, I've done this before, it pisses motorists off, is fun. The Police mountain bike escorts maintain order :wink: , the bridge is excellent, everyone stops and lifts their big above heads. This guy had a large sound system on his bike an played the same song over and over: Joni Mitchell's "The...

I turned 42 in October. The RNP for me is a real challenge, that is the Waterfall in Audley out, I;ve been told the Waterfall exit is even harder. dragging my 92kgs (slight car tyre?) up those hills adds to it.

I will be around the start area at about 6am or so for a 6.15 start
The DH bunch will leave 6.30
weather - it can;t be worse than last year- bring ur rain coat

micklan

yep the ride back is a good challenge, i'm motivated to do it - just to have done it. last year it would of been a quick trip back with the southerly buster

micklan

I plan to leave early on 4 Nov 6.15am. Not sure for the ride back, I'd like to complete it, but may not have the conditioning or petrol - see how I go over the next few weeks - this after being at a conference on the Gold Coast for the last 10 days with no riding. Michael Langdon
