Due to large numbers turning up on Sunday, and some enthusiasm for riders to take on RNP, we've decided to reinstate the RNP ride after a few years absence. This time however the ride will be weekly until further notice. The ride will leave teh public square next to the Post Cafe at 6.00am sharp and...

BNSW Environmental Trust was set up by BNSW - I am on that Management Committee, but not a member of BNSW. It is a tax deductable charity, and here is a list of some iniatiative that donated funds have gone towards. Whilst quite diverse, some of the activities have been to fund research into improvi...

Bicycle NSW (BNSW) is supposedly an advocacy group for cyclists... Yes, but this was only one small part. I do acknowledge that there are some people who wanted the advocacy piece to be a major part. But BNSW has never pretended to be big on advocacy - and has deliberately avoided being seen only a...

I still do see riders taking off too fast on the front in 28s and Middies. Take off slowly and in your seat. Do not get your butt in the air. Remember that and it'll be OK.

So I'm the only DHBC entrant

Or buy some tyre liners.

Mr Tuffy are good brands for inner liners

Given a number of punctures on the Sunday combined C25/28 ride its worth sharing a few tips. WARNING: IF YOU FOLLOW THESE TIPS YOU MAY RENDER YOURSELF OUT OF CONTENTION IN THE 2012 FLAT TYRE COMPETITION Always take 2 inner tubes.

There is historical and cultural significance in these bunch names. A, B, C would be too obvious and pretty boring! (-:

Great report John. 12 months ago we had to encourage some 28s up to middies as we struggled for numbers. Now middies is a big, strong, and quite well disciplined bunch. Recently I've noticed a bunch of guys starting to stretch this group out as they get better. It's time for these fit lads to move u...

The Tuesday and Thursday rides are organised by MC Cyclery and very good. However, they are not official, nor DHBC Club official rides.

richard. Weather wasn't permitting this morning anyway. Cheers

I'm happy to be there weather permitting

Good to see

Channel 7 News is running some hyped up anti-cycling article during the 6pm News Monday 18th July (tomorrow). Sounds like Telegraph/Murdoch Press and Alan Jones style journalism.

Congratulations John. Unfortunately for you you have to pick them up but luckily they were bargain priced! I'll pm you with my address.

geoff m

I placed a bid for you Geoff - more out of sympathy than need. But if the bidding really gets frenzied and I exceed $3, then I think it's only fair that home delivery becomes part of the deal. :wink: John. I think a free delivery by me to any dhbc person who buys my mags is fair within 3 kms radius...

geoff m

You could be lucky at $1.29 for all of them based on current bidding.

Very likely me commuting Geoff... Ridiculous time of the morning and on my way to work, hence the backpack. Knew it was a good idea to put my DHBC jersey on.

Speaking of which though, what were YOU doing up at 545am?

Jo. I as on my way to Mr Clements spin class at the SCG gym.

geoff m

I saw Geoff S and Marian in the carpark of Tempe Station whilst administrating driving lessons to my daughter. Geoff was wearing his kit and it was 11.30 am today.

geoff m

I spotted someone in DHBC kit commuting with backpack on at Victotia Rd almost onto Enmore Road. It was Friday 31st May at 5.45am and I drove by and couldn't see who it was. It was very dark.

I remember this one. Traffic control accidentally let two lanes of traffic over a one and a bit lane bridge just as we were approaching at 45 kms per hour. Phew!!!!!!

Nice shots. There are plenty of groupies here too!!!

geoff m

Well done. I had a work related commitment this morning so couldn't attend. We've now therefore successfully held 2 rides with 2 riders each over 2 weeks. Let's try to double this number for next week.

geoff m

Wow... rubbing shoulders with names like Caleb Ewan, Sue Henry, Scott Law, Richard Lang, and now there is the Wallman!

AWSOME!

geoff m

Shirley afterwards. Go to the start about one hour or more in advance

geoff m

Talk to James Justin.See if he has influence. Also, they can change you for Sunday's ride if you prove what you are saying in front of them on the Saturday (ie. you get dropped off the back quickly)

geoff m

Not surprisingly, ProBikeKit and bicycleexpress (latter is Aussie) are discounting their kit. Both are about the same price. About $60 for jersey and $70 for bibs. So get your kit while GreenEdge is still pure.

geoff m

Lucky I convinced my neighbour Greg (and club rider) to come. It was just the two of us. But a glorious, glorious morning. We were back by 7.50. Well worth the ride for those who can make it. I also got a Personal Best climb up the hills.

geoff m

We are meeting at marrickville rd cafe at 7.00am if u feel like going later.

Thanks. Will join you. Cheers. Geoff

geoff m

OK. What time do you think they go by Bestic St?

Someone in DHbC kit this morning at 8am in Belmont St Alexandra. I yelled out "Dulwich Hill Spotted" as our bikes passed in opposite directions.

I've entered, Geoff talked me into it this morning.
Would like accommodation at Bethungra too if possible.

Fabulous turnout by DHBC. 6 crisp red jerseys, and I believe 3 to 4 virgin riders at Heffron. This means madatory race reports by each debutant! Only 6 to 7 starters for D Grade, but Lizanne's presence ensured DHBC had a 1/3 representation. There were three to four teenagers. I warned Lizanne that t...

Don't think too much. Might be time to answer the riddle.

We had Geoff as well as Geoff riding.

Then we had Alex and Alex and one more Alex.

And then there was Denise. We told her to change her name to Geoff.

geoff m

Actually 3A + 2G + D = 6 all over C25

geoff m

The prize is that you look smart. Just post the answer.

Ohhhh.....

We only had Alex, Geoff and Denise on today's ride. But we had six riding.
