Who is George Timmy? A cycling friend?

Have fun, keep safe.

Trouty

The bike doesn't even look that flash....I would prefer Georg Jensen's Jewelry hands down. That would be the only time I would choose the jewellry over a push bike.....although I really do like his rings (wonder if Stuart reads this thread?)

Trouty

What was the cause of Shaun's stack at the gates?

Trouty

Budget - lets not go there, could cut into beer money. Buy some new or 2nd hand wheels...I thought you got out of the habit of building a bike out of parts that were older than you are. Remember your pedal incident at the track. Your a working dude....and it's not like you even drink a lot of beer!...

Trouty

hi guys ,

so how many kms is this RNP ride , never done this one

Come on Brego....you can do this ride easy.

Trouty

Hi all...been a long time. Good news is that I now have the all clear to go back to cycling, gym, and golfing. Been out with a bad back (disc) for the last 6 months. Hope to catch you guys this Saturday. Have a old road front wheel to go to a good home. Needed to replace my old rear wheel as the sp...

Trouty

I'll have to apologize for this month too as we'll have visitors arriving on Sun morning and I'll be at the airport during the scheduled ride time. Jo and other regulars, interested in leading this month's Slowies RNP? Hey guys, I would have gladly helped out this week but I'm out for a school reun...

Trouty

A wet long weekend just got a lot better. Cooks River Valley Times October 1 issue has a back page full colour spread and very positive article on the DHBC Raw trackies. Fetching big photo of Jessica, Joanne and Vic doing us proud. Well done all! Yeah Cool - Simon told me, but I haven't seen it. If...

Trouty

You can always go with Ultegra SPD-SL. I understand that it's just as durable as DA but a tad heavier. They have this polished gun metal version and looks really sexy! Oh well, Weiyun has just summed up the most important thing..." Looking Sexy". Anyway - It's great to have all this feedb...

Trouty

thanks, stuart and Victoria- following up with Police and Insurance company- My EMC2 equip team issue- compact crank- my babies!!

They might also turn up at a certain bike shop as did Simon Sharwoods.

Trouty

Jo is going to have a heart attack.

I had a bit of a heart flutter not an attack. In honor of his win I will have to call my new bike Cadel 2.

Trouty

Both the Look pedals in that link(aside from being shite) use different cleats. Can't go wrong with Dura Ace pedals tho. Saw numerous busted Keo pedals(body came off the spindle) when wrenching at a shop, and the other ones are.. plastic.. don't bother. Thanks Willster and T-Bone, good to know. I g...

Trouty

Does anyone know if you need different cleats for a Look pedal, than you would use on a shimano pedal? I know the look is lighter and cheaper than the Durace Pedals, but there seems to also be 2 kinds. ONe marked White Look Carbon pedal and the other just Look Carbon pedal - yet the prices are quiet...

Trouty

Yes, and for the rest of us the Red Bull boys were there every Friday...

Thanks for posting the videos Jo!

Looking back at the footage, the point a lap race for Div 5 was a really good win. Hard fought race by Adrian also.

Trouty

Finally managed to upload the video footage for the last night of RAW. I only uploaded the races worth points, although I do have most of the scratch races on film but not uploaded. Unfortunately the cameraman (Mr Hickson) didn't get all the races as I am guessing by some of the footage I edited he ...

Trouty

The only qualified coach in the bunch was Lindsay and he was hanging at the back with a couple of the newer riders. . Stuart seems to forget I did the coaching course (remember me Stu!). Ok I was there on Sunday. Toff and I rode up the front till Dolls point turn off, at what we thought was an ok p...

Trouty

As a newbie to track, having so many DHBC riders in all RAW grades was a great way to start a racing season. With 5 or 6+ DHBC people in Div 5 through out the year, it felt a lot more enjoyable. As Mark L mentioned, a big thanks to Simon, Lindsay, Kevin Llewellan... and all those people in the back ...

Trouty

He's an electrician is he? Thought he was in IT or telecoms like Geoff S. Great. I need him to look at the wiring in my ceiling.

Yes he is an electrician, that is what a sparky is. Hey Toffy, I have your cable as well. I will bring it to RAW, it's been in my bag for the last 3 weeks.

Trouty

Just thought I would get a free plug in for Miguel who is one of the riders that leads out our slowies group to Waterfall. Miguel just did a lot of electrical work for us at our house...and did a fantastic job at very competitive prices. So if you need one ..... he comes with a very high recommendat...

Trouty

newsletter that will debut real soon now.
Can anyone help?

Hi Simon,

I am pretty sure Stuart is coming out this week aswell, so he can take some shots too.

I have to admit the shot of the budgey smugglers are are a winner

Trouty

C2 (5Laps)

Victoria
Joanne
Camilla
Jessica
Amy

If your not on this plaese nominat a position & we can discuss...

I think you better re-think Amy's handicap, she is not far off Micklan and co. Sorry Aims - I know you will die of boredom. I will be drafting off the back of Camilla anyways.

Trouty

Where have all the C/D graders gone?

.....Waterfall I guess was a better option. No fun riding with 1 other rider for c/d grade. ANyway I am sure it was a good day.

Trouty

D Grade: Only 5 starters: Only did 2 laps in the wind, cramped up, but even if I hadn't, I doubted that I had more than 2 more laps in me. I didn't have a speedo on so had no idea of how fast we were going - but it felt fast. At the end Little Pete told me the average pace on those first 2 laps was ...

Trouty

Rumor has it that Christian is sourcing some singles so to shave off 2 seconds required to retake the record I must say, watching Christian spin on that bike was the funniest thing I have seen in ages. We did take a video, but all you can hear is me laughing hysterically. THat will be a clip to sav...

Trouty

far out!! where did you find a parrot to sit on lindsey?!?!

Yeah..was that some one at cafe's pet bird? Where did it come from?

Trouty

One of the riders was Micklan who rode ahead to clean up after riding through vomit that wasn't called or at least not passed along the bunch

......Vomit...Noice. I promise it wasn't mine, I was feeling good at that stage.

Trouty

Have to say I was impressed with Joanne, riding 12k further than everyone else

Yeah....not really sure what was going on there. You would think the Garmin is pretty accurate. I sure felt like we had ridden 120km.

Trouty

It was a gorgeous day for a ride today, and I think Wieyun, Alan & Mick did a great job controlling the large group of 20 riders (biggest number yet). There were enough middies in the group that certainly pushed the pace up in sections - but generally it was achievable to stay within in reach of...

Trouty

Bah, I have work! I had better go "secret training" in preparation for the next one, hehe.

Bummer you can't make it Jess - you could have put your great standing starts to practice again and gained another win or place...wooohoo. Go Jess go....grrrrrrrrrrrr

Trouty

Problem with Conti's Attack/Force combo is that they aren't suitable for tyre rotation (old front to back, old back to trash). When the rear is worn, you have to change them in pairs and then tend to use the front to greater wear before change than when the front-rear rotation plan is in force. As ...

Trouty

yep theyre in my sights tim

I think Aims will be our first Elite womans rider (and first woman rider) to do really well in road and track events moving forward. DHBC has certainly come a long way in the last 3 years when there wasn't a girl in sight. GO AMY GO

Trouty

Six of us have managed to make it into the Hillbrick wheel race, thats a pretty good effort. I managed to scrap through even with my disapointing ride in the miss and out on Friday. Yeah bummed I missed out by 1 point, but then again.... my crap ride in the miss'n'out probably saved me. Great stuff...

Trouty

oh, and I'll change the cruisers tempo average to 25kph as that's the real speed ignoring the somewhat chaotic piece from Waterfall to Sutherland. Having not ridden waterfall for a while, and having not ridden with the cruisers group for even longer - I found it was a really pleasant ride, quite un...

Trouty

got a rear flat with 2 laps to go.

felt really good was moving up on the 2 last lap and was about 4th or 5th wheel and flatted the corner before the squircle.

That sucks Chidgey....you gotta hate that after feeling pretty good near the end.

Trouty

Lucky you are not one of those captains that spreads unsubstantiated gossip. Quality of a true leader!

Trouty

i need a fake tan, and some weights, thn i reckon id be on my way to looking good in it :D but nah, i dont think ill ever look good in it :D Tim: With all the riding you do, you've obviously lost more than enough body fat so that you are a mere shadow of your former self. You look fine in Lycra. NO...

Trouty

hi everyone, My bike is currently stored in Croydon. I was wondering if anyone would be able to pick one or possibly two bikes from Croydon on Friday afternoon? A Sorry Adrian, as I am leaving work later and later these days, I take my bike to work and leave directly from work - which will be out a...

Trouty

OK - Stuart has finally ordered my long awaited TWE wheels for my bike. The deal was he did the research and bought them and I just had to approve the look. I ended up having to sacrifice the red blade spokes I always wanted, but for 1270 grams I can live without the red blade spokes. ANyway - quest...

Trouty

Sounds like a really hard race on the weekend....I spoke to Christian and heard about the nasty cross winds. Good on all of you for finishing it.

Trouty

that sucks justin, glad to hear they are sorting it all out for you.

have to come make a camio apperance at RAW for the last few.

NOOOOO....He is in Div 5. Justin can only come if he promises to lead me out, and not overtake me. Just kidding...love to see you back at RAW.

Trouty

Jo! Troutiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee! No. 7 on the DHBC board! You must be killing div 5! Hey Camilla, I guess me doing well in the points is a combination of you not being here, and me just consistently turning up and getting a few 2nd, 3rds and 4ths in races that count. SLow and steady can some times wi...

Trouty

Series ends September 25th or some thing like that. Yes...maybe you would have a better chance if your Friday night was free, although I think you would find that you would still probably try and get some cycling in on Friday night if you could. I still can't get over Crafty's comment on the loud sp...

Trouty

.....On the downside, did I mention Mike got an official warning for not being in uniform!

Great pics. Puts things back into perspective when the bikes the competition are riding are almost expensive as a small car...and I won't even mention the wheels.

Trouty

Yeah...I wondered what happened to you. Not good about the head aches, even worse that your back at work !!! Hope you find out what is wizzing around in that head so you can get back to RAW. See you soon

Trouty

I'm in the deep south of Italy with a moody dial up modem and have finally got onto DHBC only to find no one has posted about the metro champs! A report please!!! I'm particularly interested to hear how Aimes did in the 2km pursuit. Aims did really well in the pursuit. There were only 4 elites. Mic...

Trouty

But I think the left column is tad wide

As long as you never say I am a tad wide...we will always be friends!

Nice photo of Jess.....Maybe she should consider training and will probably kick my ass next time.

Trouty

I take offense to the fact you are insinuating I am lying....but I will let you off without hitting you because you were patient enough to change my skin suit order last minute. But you only get one chance. Because I know you would...just to prove a point. You are welcome to ring action snaps!! Go a...

Trouty

RAW 1 LAP SCREAMER: This weeks Div 5 heat 1 - 1 lap screamer was an all out DHBC womans race. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this photo. CHeck out Jess's face, she seems like she is just cruising and laughing her head off whilst Vic and I are putting every thing in it. Congratulations for Jess...

Real men ain't afraid to wear pink

Be careful Timmy......Jessica looks like she is eyeing of that Jersey!!

Trouty

Does anyone have any idea what time this event goes till? I know it starts at 11.30, but having not done anything like it before....have no idea what time they have allocated or booked the Velodrome for?

Trouty

I'm without a car but I've left my bike on the road to Dunc Gray at my sisters home in Croydon. I was wondering if anyone could pick me up from the Cnr of Malvern Ave and Murry St Croydon (outside the uniting church)? No idea where that is Adrian. But I think I am working out at Silverwater tomorro...

Geoff is trying to be Shakespearian and I have no idea how I got into the script. :roll: I have heard the joke before, but I thought it was clever that he has put the DHBC spin on it.

That is a model pose....you almost pulled off Zoolanders "Blue Steel"

Trouty

What is the point of the photo of Mike and Co standing on their heads? To prove who has the best abbs, balance or talent for doing the most ridiculous thing on a Sunday morning? My bet is Mike stayed up the shortest time given Gee has all that hair to use as a pillow.

Trouty

Conditions perfect, really not too windy at all, bunches stayed together except for Othy splitting B in a powerful breakaway! Lovely day for a race :D C grade Congratulations Will - 1st (off to B ?) Amy - 5th very strong ride, right on the wheel of place getters Mark L - 4th sandwiched at the finis...

Trouty

Thanks Dad1 (alias David) for tagging along for the Waterfall ride. Always good to have company. Dave seemed to think he was not at his best but he had no worries keeping up, and only on the mad mile dropped back - and not by much.

Woooohoo - means a sleep in for me tomorrow

Trouty

go team green :D Shame red got beaten at the end. Johno or (Anoyng as Craftie calls him), did a really good turn to break the gap, that is when I started to think red had it won as we were definately ahead. One rider lost it in the last 3, but I take my hat off for him anchoring that distance anywa...

Oh well, sounds like that more "senior" members have absconded.

Oy - who are you calling senior bucko???

It does however look like I'll be riding with Jo's work mates in Team Blue Star on the 'gong ride. Yes unfortunately Team Blue Star has more funding than team DHBC this year. I would like to say that we can't be bought - but that is just not true. We have accepted the bribe of a Marquee with BBQ lu...

Trouty

Mike, I can get you home, but I can't get you there as I will be offsite in Liechardt this afternoon so will be leaving from home around 5

Trouty

I may join in for the first half and then continue on into RNP or something, but i'm not committing myself based on my recent record of getting up early.

No worries - I am leaving at 6.30 at Mick Mazzas for any takers, and I am picking some one else up along the way at Grand Parade in Brighton.

Trouty

id be in for it if we didnt have a race on. If you cant find any one, im prettysure there are one or two groups that go there from the east, you can meet them at the super centre. It's cool, I have some one to ride with already, I was just hoping to get a few others so I can do some drafting. You k...

Trouty

Any one interested in doing a Waterfall ride on Saturday? I don't think I can ride on Sunday so would be interested in getting a longer ride in this weekend. 6.30 start. Oh yeah....this invitation is for anyone that isn't too fast or willing to ride not too much faster than me.

Trouty

Says he who'll ride to waterfall in the morning, getting back just in time to race B-grade at Heffron and then head off on a "training ride" to LaPerouse

I hardly think Timmy doing 700km in a week classifies him as a cruiser.

Trouty

[/quote]Well, if some of the best riders and long term members in the club can't be bothered to attend the biggest public ride of the year in club colours and fund raise for a worthy cause when they could easily move the fixie ride, then why would anybody else be bothered?

I think I have claims to put in an official protest.

Officially Simon and boyfriend have been disqualified.

Trouty

But Tim! Jittery Joes! Do it for Jittery Joes!

You 2 look like a match made in heaven....settled!! Plus I can start a new rumour about Camilla being a floozy!!

Trouty

Yes! I'm in! So who wants me on Saturday? It has to be either Tim or Christain, so that we can wear our Jittery Joes outfits. Does it matter that I've never done a Maddison change before?

Trouty

It was suggested on monday evening that we have a mixed couples madison as the final event for this saturdays ominium. Im rather liking the idea. Any takers?

I like that idea too, but it could start a bigger rumour mill. Mixed couple maddison - sounds awsome!!!

Trouty

*runs to the rumour mill*

Rumour mill is usually Camilla and Simon's domain so surprised they didn't jump on that opportunity before you Chubbsie.

Tim some how seems to make it into all the saucy rumours.

Trouty

YAY AIMS....DHBC'S Best elite woman rider. Good to see you won over 2 blokes aswell.

Unless participants have other desires, this month's ride will be the traditional Waterfall -> Audley loop.

I'm out this week.......got to see a man about a bike.

Ride hard slowies, or middies, or slow middies or fast slowies.....whatever you all are.

Trouty

Hey guys this looks like a cracker event, there is something for everybody. Very much like an omnium except with no combined score. It hasn't been run for a number of years, so lets gets our entries in & support it!!! I'm entered.... Amy, Mark and I have paid and entered. We're in. Ha Ha...Amy ...

ALthough the way Amy is riding I wouldn't be surprised it it was C gra...

Trouty

i might ride out there with the slowies?

The girls are out of TT as we will get back too late, so we will either ride with the slowies or the middies to waterfall and turn back early. RIde hard guys.

Trouty

How much time do you want? It is a time trial based on times not finish position.

Yeah - but how embarrassing is it if I am the first one off the rank, who is overtaken by every one in the field....I need all the help I can get.

PS: If I can't be back before 10am, I will need to withdraw anyway.

Trouty

Joanne 8:00am
Amy 15 sec
Camilla 30 sec

I only get 15/30 second head start over Amy and Camilla.....you have got to be kidding! I think I might start my own race at 7.30 just to be safe!
