williamd

Amy

Sorry to hear you had an accident with a taxi.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Entries have closed.

Last year there were 14 DH riders this year there will be only 9.

williamd

Camila

Your license no. should be the same as last year.

Entries have now closed.

He rides a motorcycle similar to Stewart.

williamd

Second question, since the first was rigged.

What make of bike does he ride?

Camila wrote:

How did he get the panniers on?

I'll ask him when I get to Tasmania.

williamd

I know that Mike Clement is the first DH rider to wear out his jersey and needs a new jersey.

williamd

For those who are not aware, Eugene decided to ride to Tasmania by Penny Farthing.

He has reached Goulbourne so far and still going.

Lets hope he gets a tail wind.

williamd

I was riding Penny Farthings with Al at Heffron Park today.

Forgot to mention it to Al but will mention it tomorrow on the Sunday ride to Waterfall.

williamd

Mike .

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

williamd

I will send out a message to Al by carrier pigeon.

Al still goes on the Sunday ride.

He said he was going riding this Sunday.

williamd

Two cyclist were hit by a concrete pump truck while out on a training ride.
One of the cyclist died from his injuries while the other is in a critical condition.
The accident happened on a straight section of the road and the riders were in the breakdown lane.

williamd

Mike wrote it was the 9k back to the station. Nobody told me it was a hill climbing course otherwise I would have gone to Kiama instead. Amy was battered and bruised at the top of the last hill. Lindsay got her back on the bike and gave her a helpful push down the next hill. She was flying then :lol:

williamd

I'm in now.

See you at mick mazza,s at 6am.

Mike I do not have a copy of the 96 Ashfield bike plan but I will see if I can locate it. Might be like finding a needle in a hay stack. Adrian I agree 'Ashfield Bike Plan Committee' it is. By the way, Ashfield Council Developmnet Control Plan 2007 has requirements for Bicycle parking facilities in ...

And I thought the 4seat tandum that Alan Sumner has was unique

williamd

I have received some good information and feedback.

At tne next Council bicycle path committee meeting I will mentioned the Dulwich Hill to City Tram/cycling/ walking corridor and linking up paths with adjoining Council routes.

williamd

Adrian

Ashfield Council only recently(about 10days ago) decided to create a bike plan - bit late compared to other council's - but better late than never.

Mike and Weyun and Toff.

I agree with your issue with door zones in cycle lanes.

williamd

Adrian I spoke to the Director of the Council Engineer's Dept.(who is also a keen bike rider) and he informed me that all the relevant parties will be invited to provide their advice. Ashfield Council did spend $60,000 about 2 years ago upgrading the bicycle path along the Hawthorne Canal at the end...

Weiyun

I remember riding the legs off you a few weeks ago when you were lacking your usual level of fitness.

williamd

Weiyun said

'I drive to Ashfied regularly but hardly ever ride.'

That is exactly the point. - Ashfield is not bike friendly.

You ride in the Ashfield Municipality -Hawthorn Parade Haberfield.

williamd

The sticker is the only part of the K mart helmet with any value.

Weyun
Would you go racing on a kmart bike?

williamd

There are some crappy helmets out there with the Australian Standard sticker. KMart sell a lot of them along with their crappy bikes. If you value your head don't buy a crap helmet even with the Australian Standard sticker. Giro helmets are superior quality and that is why you don't see them in Kmart.

williamd

Jason Tran is a very fast runner and great defender.

williamd

No aluminium frames.
no computers.

Stuart

I believe that Peter O'Sullivan hasn't entered but would like to go.

williamd

Hey T-Bone

What is your soccer team friends name.

williamd

The Hurlstone Park Soccer Club being the closest soccer club to Dulwich Hill had some great success in the State champions of champions finals.

The under 18 girls team won in a penality shoot out.

The under 21 mens team won 3-2 against Menai.

( my son was playing in this team)

Good report Mick.

Good effort from Alex and Fixed gear.

I have continential GP 4000s tyres. Got a puncture from a screw when riding with the slowies on a Saturday.

Timmyone said he saw some Dulwich Hill rider at Five Dock near the bay.

That was probably me.

I was also down at the Cooks River but not on a yellow bike.

williamd

I looked outside at 5am and it was raining so went back to sleep.

Got up at 10am and went for a ride to Balmain.

williamd

I will be happy to join in if the weather is good.

williamd

Weiyun said

There is a lot of trash on the breakdown lane, with semi trailers, I wouldn't get too excited.

I'm excited
Sound more exciting than the dog crap at Hawthorne Parade and
Sounds more exciting than my last ride in heavy rain at Cootamundra.

Stay vertical

Weiyun said:
Why is the wind always against me.

The early bird always avoids the head wind and gets the tail wind when going back.

Don't finish horizontal.

There was a boy named Bill who was riding on an atomic pill , it blew his arse to Bulli Pass and his b-lls to Broken Hill.

Hi Brad Welcome to the DH bicycle club.

Mick

I am doing the Country circuit.

I finished the Coonabarabran to Gunnedah 110k/m on Saturday.

Went in the Gunnedah to Tamworth on Sunday got as far as Werris Creek where my legs were cramping so I caught the bus.

Might go out to HP this Saturday.

Going to Mudgee the week after.

Congratulations

Micklan ,Simon and Huw.

Mick you will be in C grade soon.

Don't finish Horizontal

williamd

If you want a lighter bike you should look at a smaller frame.

or you could go with a steel frame as weiyun suggested and that will give Weiyun and me a chance to stick to your wheel.

Don't finish Horizontal.

williamd

I was talking to Peter Osullivan today and he is interested in coming along for the weekend.

Mick L are you still interested as you could share a room with Peter.

We should have enough cars for the numbers.

Still time to register.

williamd

Weyun

I noticed a lot of the 2 legged birds running across the road as I was following Toff's wheel. Toff was going over 40kph. Very distracting.

Don't finish Horizontal

At the moment there are 56 riders but that will increase slightly by 29 June.

Don't finish Horizontal.

williamd

Mick

I am going in both races and will be returning to Sydney on Sunday.

Don't finish horizontal

williamd

Hey toff

How about some hill climbing at Centennial Park instead of the hook turns.

As Weiyun said it is only a matter of time for hook turns to be phased in here.

Don't finish horizontal.

williamd

Do you mean hooker turn.

williamd

Missed out again.

Nice saddle.

You would have to clean your saddle more often to aviod the style police.

Don't finish Horizontal.

Don't finish horizontal

Toff said what is a bicycle storage area.

I thought a bicycle storage box was something you transported you bike in.

Hey toff Do you know what a hook turn is ?

We should practise some hook turns.

Don't finish horizontal

williamd

Hey Mick,

I know someone who is selling a unit at a reasonable price.

The unit is vacant and it is near Hurstville.

williamd

I will need to practise my hook turns from storage boxes.

Looks like the RTA and Council's are preparing for more bike lanes and storage boxes as bicycle use is on the increase.

Mike said

Where did the riders fall off.

How does somewhere near the netball courts sound.

williamd

Great photos Stuart and Joanne

I'll have to watch you on the hill climb to Waterfall from now on.

williamd

I think it is unethical where a rider is sponsored by a wheel manufacturer and the rider is using a different manufacturers wheels but passing the wheels off as Hed wheels. The general public buy a product on the success of that product in competition and pay more for a successful brand name product...

williamd

Good on you Stretch.

We can team up again.

Don't finish horizontal

Looks like we have the following starters:

It a long ride to HP and Oatley Park and even longer to Waterfall.

Come on. your not serious.

It may be closer to Coonabarabran. Are you thinking of entering the Coonabarabran to Gunnedah or the Mudgee race.

I have heard it gives you strength in your legs.

Do not finish Horizontal.

You could also have a virtual holiday also.

I will become a virtual sponsor.

Don't finish Horizontal.

williamd

I have registered for the first race only, I have to be back in Sydney for Sunday.

Don't finish Horizontal.

That should be Gunnedah to Tamworth.(not Grafton)

Don't finish Horizontal.

williamd

I have just registered for Grafton to Tamworth.

Nick said

Enter the second race or you will struggle to do Mudgee.

I wasn't going to enter the second race as I thought that getting dropped twice in two days may spoil my record.

OK Nick you have convinced me. I will go in the second race too.

williamd

I was caught in the rain about a month ago and it was fun until I went down a hill and had to try and stop at the intersection with wet brakes.

Bike riders are like drug addicts they keep peddling rain or shine.
