This Sunday we’re having a working bee down at the track to give all the club bikes some TLC, gearing audit and clean out the bike store. If you can spare some time to help out please come down, gates open at 2pm. 2pm, at the track, tempe, working bee, today? Hell yes! (Just thought it deserved a b...

James Rogers

Taku's in too.

James Rogers

I'm in, thanks to Colin's arm twisting.

James Rogers

I didn't find it too bad on the way home. Some of the more major roads I ride were unusually deserted – which was a little silver lining – or an ominous sign if you watch post-apocolyptic movies. Successfully avoided all zombies.

James Rogers

Taku here. Francis, Broughton and I headed to the team sprints at Dunc Gray today. U15 Boys were the first event, so there wasn't a lot of waiting for us. We got into position on the track. Francis in the gate, then myself and Broughton were held by, um, handlers. We didn't have any strategy really,...

Hello everyone, + CHRISTMAS BBQ First – IMPORTANT! This Wednesday, 19 December, will be the Junior's Christmas BBQ. Same time, same place as normal training. Colin has declared himself the sausage, sauce and bun king, but we ask everyone to please bring a plate to share! (You know, like salad and st...

James Rogers

The beer was good, the pizza was tasty (wrestled some scraps off the kids), and thankfully the raffle was rigged because I won (thanks). Great night.

James Rogers

Oh c'mon Noel! I had one beer from each tap (not the cider) and I'm totally fine for the ride. * **

* I am in a kebab shop as I type.
** I may be lying.

James Rogers

Juniors had good rides. Broughton and Taku starting to employ more tactical racing in each event. Both did well in the Miss-n-out. Rohan rode extremely well for his first race, keeping up and earmarking himself as a contender to watch. It didn't take long for him to show his speed, and he came third...

James Rogers

I'm in.

Hi All, Here is the schedule for Juniors track training this week: Activity 1: Time Trials (2 lap screamer) for all. These will be done in groups, with the other groups completing an alternative activity at the same time, as follows: - Group A Time trial (all of group A will line up and wait on the ...

James Rogers

Here is my verbose report: We almost didn't make it to the start – our car was parked on some mystery street far, far, away; when we found it, there was almost no petrol; the Gong Ride was reclaiming the local area; and when I got to the petrol station, two taxi drivers were monopolising the cashier...

Seeing as everyone else is going and I have nowhere else to go...

James Rogers

I was reminded this year (more than once), that the first thing I said to Ben when came across him on Fitz's last year was, "Well, Honeysuckle Creek can go and get @#$%@#!". So I have great sympathy for those who braved it this year. I rode the 165km with Bnej, hoping that after months of ...

James Rogers

It was me! I voted, randomly... and I don't even feel guilty. Despite my preference, food was good, and the company was appropriately, er, tired. I'm happy that 200+ people wanted to be there.

James Rogers

He's 12 (almost), race reports are dictated as soon as he gets home and I write down what he says. My intervention comes when grammar and punctuation are in need of correction... I also actively remove the word "eventually" as much as possible. At the end I ask sternly, "Now son, what...

James Rogers

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. This is Taku again. Tonight we rode again at LACC, hoping to improve on last week's results. The first race was a scratch race, and I forgot how many laps. We formed into a pace line. Broughton was second most of the way, and I ended up at the back trying to fi...

Anthony K. Happy to eat anything.
Andrew M. Happy to eat food.
James R Happy to eat.
Bnej happy to eat/veg.

James Rogers

Well, that sold it!

James Rogers

$120 ono... otherwise I'll put it up on eBay.

James Rogers

I notice with some interest and trepidation that the current long-term forecast for Sunday in Canberra is a refreshing -1°C min, 17 max.

James Rogers

Hopefully everyone made it through the Park all right this morning - Police fear oil deliberately spilt onto the road causing 3 cars to crash (Saturday 20th Oct 2012) Something to watch out for. Well, the police seem to have put so much sand down it was like a beach – and without knowing about the ...

James Rogers

This is Taku, DHBC Junior, being helped by my able (and very handsome) stenographer, James. I went to the LACC Spring Track racing at Wyatt Park, with Broughton, and his dad, John. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing for me, but I am glad that I did it... First race was a scratch race, with si...

James Rogers

Here's a mini report. I'll let the pictures tell the story – and update the goings-on a little later. Three juniors participated in the National Junior Track Series over this weekend. Two of them (Taku and Broughton) had never ridden competitively before... and were pretty much thrown into the deep ...

James Rogers

Bnej and I are going down same time, returning same time-ish. I did the 205 last year, probably will do the 165km with a ride to the start and back to top up the kms! I anticipate Ben will refuse this and drive to the start

. Staying at Univ House.

James Rogers

(On behalf of Lizanne, bike hunter). Brian Smedley has two junior track and two junior road bikes for sale (amongst a few others). He would prefer to sell the four junior bikes as a single lot for $1600; but will possibly part with them separately. From: briansmedley@ozemail.com.au [mailto:briansmed...

James Rogers

It was a beautiful, warm evening on Wednesday. Perfect for riding. The magpie seemed to calm down a bit, but not after a few angry runs. Melina was the first to brave the track for a few warm up laps, and got more than her fair share of beak-snapping. But when the yelling stops, you can hear the hun...

James Rogers

Here is the very brief, better-late-than-never Juniors track news etc. Apologies for the late update. I'm continuing form, having turned up late to training (forgive me, I work in Lane Cove, which is somewhere near the Queensland border). I did miss most of the magpie action. However, wasn't too lat...

James Rogers

Found listings on eBay for 24in track bikes, free shipping from Melbourne for $459. There is a ( drop bar version , and also a flat bar version ...assuming the flat bar would be easy enough to change to drops, worth asking if they would do it for you.) Of course, I can't vouch for them, but they mig...

Surly Cross Check 60cm frame/forks/headset -- $190 Black with no decals. 4 year old frame with some in-use paint scars, but no dings or bumps. I've used it as a commuter, but have now gone for something similar but a bit smaller ([n+1]-1!). Headset bearings are still smooth (it's a Cane Creek S3, bo...

James Rogers

Hi All, We had 13 juniors on a nice mild night, and welcomed the seasonal return of the dive-bombing magpie. The bird failed to make any dents, but probably put some pace into the initial 10-lap warm up. Dexter made an early appearance to check his regular bike setup so he can transfer it to his new...

James Rogers

Beer flavoured GU - just sayin'.

James Rogers

A (different) James answer: looks almost as fun as making homebrew... almost... similar ingredients, at least. I'd rather make beer than gel – but I have long considered making a super-sports beer. One day. You can get 1kg of maltodextrin (aka powdered corn syrup or wheat) from a homebrew shop for a...

James Rogers

Hi all, Considering that the Olympic glow might still carry on 'til next Wednesday, Colin and I have discussed doing some match sprints . While these are straightforward enough, our riders may be interested in checking out this particularly good video description of the rules and strategies before t...

James Rogers

If Taku had any energy left to do tactical analysis last night, I think he would have. But you ably got him to leave it all on the track, Lizanne!

James Rogers

I'll was going to be heading down direct from Newtown, but I only have a vague idea and an iphone to get me there... Maybe starting at the cafe would be more sensible...

James Rogers

Blitzed them Eleri! You also came 4th in the 25-34, and 7th in the 35-49 - with many behind you.

James Rogers

I know Simon made it over Rockley, and assume Bradley did too - I was looking forward to finishing the climb (I had finally bridged a bunch I'd been chasing), but given the circumstances, it wasn't an issue. But yes, the times for the 110/170 are skewed depending on your turn point... I found it was...

James Rogers

Here's what I could extract from the preliminary results (testing the limits of my spreadsheet skills). Apologies if I missed anyone, or made a mistake, etc. Extreme - 280 starters Long - 812 starters Short - 722 starters I know it isn't all about results, but for those interested, I added a column ...

James Rogers

If laziness doesn't drag me under, I'll also be at the cafe at 6:30 for RNP. ~c28 fine with me...

James Rogers

I am seriously considering the ride from Lithgow-Mudgee option (as lightly loaded as I can). But I have noticed the last-minute accommodation in Mudgee is looking fairly full for Saturday night. If I can work it out, I'll arrive Friday, do the Saturday ride and ride back to Bathurst on Sunday (5:50p...
