Lizanne

i might be a bit biased, but, could we go retro?

Lizanne

i say early train, scenic riding, coffee, gravel road, wine and cheese, train home

Spotted a DHBC member on the corner of Sydenham Rd and Livingstone Rd this morning but his head was down so couldn't see who it was.

Lizanne

Lizanne

Am planning a little 2 day adventure which involves camping at a beach- probably early early Feb if interested.

i'm free (and getting paid!) Jan 2nd-5th and i feel like going on a ride. anyone feel like catching the train, then riding around the hunter, sampling the local produce, staying over night, and maybe doing the same the next day? i have no idea where to go or what to do, i'm just putting it out there...

Lizanne

Lizanne

Legs are feelin' good. can't wait

Lizanne

Christian has. and he needs to bring it to the track tonight! oh p.s. i think i also left a few multi tools at the track ages ago. one really old BBB navy blue one and a slightly newer gold one about 10 function really heavy... if you saw them, know where they were placed, or put one in your bag can...

Lizanne

I'm wondering if I can ride a motorbike, I can drive auto at the moment. Stopping and getting on and off could be the problem

i thinking it might be a bad idea Tim.

Lizanne

if you get the motor bike out on Wednesday, can you come down a little early and but a few of the bigger juniors on?

Lizanne

Entries extended to Sunday (09/12)

Lizanne

you could always enter in the Illawara open and watch all the action LIVE!

Lizanne

Ya, it was a great day! following my recent form, i went into the carnival top ranked in Div 1, my handicap was scratch, and i had to re-think all my racing tactics. instead of my usual suck wheels and hope for the best, i was in a position to control the race. Scratch race i had something to prove ...

Lizanne

I'll be riding from home

Lizanne

it makes me want to restore my vintage bike properly, put the original campagnolo back on, and down tube shifters, i want a set of down tube shifters!

Lizanne

anyone planning on getting there early to have a game of bowls, and sink a few malted beverages in the late afternoon heat?
say 6:30 ish

Timmy, James, Jo, Toff, Lindsay... actually all the Valley Wheelers, the cool kids from the track, the slowies, and anyone who i don't know yet!?

Update on the fearless leader

http://www.theatlanticcities.com/politi ... fice/3980/

WOOHOO!!!

Lizanne

was the dude another guy from easts or a random?
and it wasn't her dad, you'd recognize him

Lizanne

Have you gone to reverse garbage? They usually have kids stuff.
Then the LACC newsletter has a for sale section.
And I'm still bigger! So none of my bikes will fit, ask again in 6 months

Lizanne

I vote one for a limited edition vintage dhbc jersey. There is a wool jersey company that does custom stuff in the US, it will be a little pricey if we go full custom. It would also need to be a non sanctioned jersey. So no racing in it, but it would look schmick on the vintage rides. We can talk at...

Lizanne

spotted Adrian yesterday going past the redfern cop shop, called out but he didn't spot me... i was hiding behind a car

Lizanne

but looking into it Wiggle has great prices on fast forwards
and TWE has a rear disk for $800

Lizanne

i'm broke, physio are my savings. after the TT on friday, i'll be starting a piggy bank for a race wheel fund.

Lizanne

next time you pimp it, you gotta get Christian to put track drop outs on.

Lizanne

Ya, I totally understand. I had a moment on Sunday where a SA chick almost took out Madison Law when I was sitting on her wheel, and all I thought was "if they crash I'm going down too, OMG Bundy's wheels" But I'll totally take you up on the offer to use your zipps. They were kick ass the ...

Lizanne

Slacker, but it looks really good. I didn't think you could pimp that fixie more than it already was

Lizanne

Is that an offer Alex?
Would you like a swipe of my credit card and my social insurance number?

Lizanne

Hey guys,
I got a taste for race wheels last week, but I need to give them back to Peter Bundy.
I was just wondering if anyone had some I could borrow for the 500m tt and maybe the clarence street cup?
Will trade for beer.

Lizanne

couple months later, i may be in! (for a week)

Lizanne

It was a great day out @ the velodrome, The Jr's put on a good show. The determination to keep contact and stay with the main bunch (while riding up/first year age groups) was commenddable. congrats Taku and Broughton! The Madison was also a really thrilling to watch. there was a large field in both...

Lizanne

@ christian,
just build a lighter one then.

Lizanne

Hey Bro mondays the track opens about 6:30 ish, for the first time, i suggest coming down, and mostly checking it out. the speed may still be a little fast for you. but it's good to start considering it. bring your bike, and a parent. have a chat with Alex Chubb before you get on. and look for the s...

Lizanne

...i just got some rapha. awesome for the long rides, not so awesome for the credit card

Lizanne

bigfriendlyvegan, i'll be ripping it up @ dunc for the next 2 weeks, then it's the DHBC christmas party... but i'll make a cameo for the last week of the series.
will there be beer? hipsters love beer

Lizanne

... if i were a 7 yo girl i would be eying off this
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-au/bik ... 361/58362/

i was checking it out in the Giant Sydney store last week.
it features a 3 speed internal hub, so almost a single speed, and great for maintenance.
and it's pretty!

Lizanne

lol it's an alley-cat race.
inner west hipsters

Lizanne

I won't be able to defend my title... I will be saving lives on Bronte beach

Lizanne

go to Peter Bundy. you'll get a nice set of wheels for a steal. he also has a lot of 'stuff' new, NOS, and second hand that you can use to build the bike. is the frame steel? if it is i found a really nice 130mm TTT stem in my bike stuff last week. I'll trade it for beers @ the Christmas party, and ...

Lizanne

There is a small paconi bike for sale at LACC. I think it's a 48st 50tt. Really nice looking. Head out to the Friday racing to give it a test ride.
$350

Lizanne

so a friend of mine bought this bike http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110893895090?nma=true&si=dLpT8FFsyzVGZsAHa8upEWppqWg%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true and he's been asking me all sort of questions to maximize the protection of the frame. I've recommended a good clean, 1 app...

Lizanne

Oh No! bent cinelli bars

that sucks.
but new bull bars, that sounds bad ass. you'll be the hippest of the valley wheelers. do it!

Lizanne

I'm out.
Had a little spill outside Lewisham Stn yesterday, on the way home from work. Nothing bad but landed on one knee and pulled a muscle in a calf. Prefer to let it heal properly.

it's all well and good that you are ok, but how is the bike?

Lizanne

from the LACC newsletter Last Friday night saw some great weather and some better racing. The juniors, who started racing at 6:30 pm, were finished their racing by 7:19 pm (save for the Junior A's who get to showcase their talents in one race in the senior program). Good fields were present in all d...

Lizanne

ya, he's a SU Velo rider, and a member of my surf club, and all round genuine great guy. I ride with him, when he's not taking pictures.
He takes pictures mostly of his team and other mates, so i guess friendly DHBC members get chosen because he knows who they are.

Lizanne

BTW
tonight is Haloween!
I'm going to dress up and bring tricks and treats. beer sounds good too
see y'all

Lizanne

this is why i'm asking

From a friend of mine looking to do a road bike to fixie conversion

well...the good news is I missed out on the back hub! But he did offer it to me for $80 as the last highest bidder...
Should I get it and try to convert it or find a track hub?
Nick

Lizanne

thanks, that's what i thought.
are adapters east to find?

Lizanne

Lizanne

That robot is running double disks!

Lizanne

thanks great night out. and good to see all the valley wheelers getting together. I need to party with the vintage guys more often.

P.S. that skin suit was awesome! so much fun wearing it around the festival. the back room of the track has so many surprises

Lizanne

Everyone planning on coming. Bring a cushion, a balakie, and warm cloths. it gets chilly after a while.

and you don't have to BYO, there is a bar on site selling really good wine for $25 a bottle, but bring nibbles

see ya!

Lizanne

for all the fixie hipsters line of sight is playing at the Bicycle film festival tonight. I'll be there for both sessions

see you all tomorrow too

Lizanne

ooo i wouldn't start playing that game. i have a pile of tubes in the living room...
plus mine will look better

Lizanne

picked a huge bag of them up from deus on Bourke St

Lizanne

Lizanne

i blew my knee the week before. it was still strapped and swollen. not one of the best decisions i've made
then the next race, my fitness wasn't there (and i still had no power from my knee)
the last race i did was fairly easy

Lizanne

if you aim for one more, you usually do more and surprise your self. i my aim last time was one more lap than another girl i was racing, and i finished the race with the pack(she got dropped after lap 6, i was dead, and was totally surprised, how easy it became once the race settled) and plus c grad...

Lizanne

tactics! nice

Lizanne

congrats marc. my firs run with c grade was a similar experience
just aim for one more lap every week

Lizanne

that totally sucks Jo,
can i drop my bag off @ your place about 10 ish?

Lizanne

oooo might take you up on that. can i grab it tonight @ the goldsprints?

Lizanne

thanks for the offer, but i had a facebook friend offer his.
he uses it all the time, so hopefully no issues with how to work it

Lizanne

Hey i feel like filming the fixie centruy this year, and do a little movie for the archives/youtube/christmas party. only problem is i don't have a helmet cam. does anyone have one i could borrow for the weekend?

Lizanne

I'm playing with gears tonight! so start gate and flies are the way to go

Lizanne

after a good start to the year, i've had the worst luck this winter. all have been results of nails, pot holes, and tyre slices. so the new gator skins have been great against glass, but not me being a space cadet. 6 flats all fixed but no tube patches. (archived form the winter, i was trying not to...

Lizanne

can you incorrectly order a 35 or 36 next time?

Lizanne

YES!
that's what she said.

and none of the girls have cycling tans

Lizanne

hey
thanks Andrew, I'm not sure where i was looking, or if trackwork had anything to do with the times being off...
but i concur option B, and that gives a good sleep in after the BFF goldsprints friday night

Lizanne

congrats guys!
can't wait to see the new racing skills on wednesday

Lizanne

... Went by today, about 2 ish. A couple marshals at the crossing, and everyone crossing the road everywhere but the crossing( even with all the signs) maybe it will be like cyclists using the cycle ways. It just takes time to get used to the new design

Lizanne

i was going to say that, but i think he was saying he couldn't ride the fixie cause it has no pannier racks

Lizanne

hey Jess, i'm helping out with the street fair @ WOOP on saturday. fixie century next, but for sure i'll be at the others!

Lizanne

can the chicks do 500m? i need to train for that and not the kilo

Lizanne

send a e-mail or PM to Eleri or Jo the builder and get it into the next newsletter

Lizanne

just roll the jeans up, unless you'r rhys and your calves prevent you from doing it

Lizanne

I'll be around,
I'm doing heaps of volunteering over the who rides festival.

Lizanne

So i got a flat this morning... i've had a horror year with flats, but i was stuck with this one. and with $3.40 gone from my wallet, i ended up on the train to work. I punctured a tubular. ummm ya, so what now. I need to rip the old one off, buy a new tyre, and glue it on? any recommendations on ty...

Lizanne · Re: 2012- ‘Tempetation’ Fixie Century- 21/10/2012 Bundanoon camping???

camping???

Lizanne

I think you'r thinking of the wrong bits of metal. Richard is talking about the loose bits that are usually found on the road, more off to the side and in the gutter. they look like bladed spokes, but shorter and thinner. you can find them all over the place

Lizanne

Ben! you fail @ the forum

Lizanne

Qualifying out of the way, I'm sitting in 5th. I had a girl fall in front of me in the 1500, and I should move up a placing in the 500's this afternoon. So stuff to watch. 500m heats and finals from 4 pm tonight, then relays tomorrow after 11. Plus there are free speed skating passes for the Thursda...

Lizanne

ya, it's hard to get ice time on weekends. so work shmerk.

oh Tim, i was out with a few guys who used to skate. they are planning on BYO ing to the rink

Lizanne

we could do a John kilo, followed by an all deciding wheel race!
