Hi all, I'm decluttering my study, getting rid of a bunch of cycling mags. They're mainly issues of "Ride" from about 2008-2015 (including Tour de France guides), plus the odd issue of Roleur, Ride On, Treadlie, BIcycling Australia. Free to anyone who wants them - call on Z&O4O3914723&...

Hi John,
I wasn't sure if I could make the Xmas Carnival, so apologies for the late notice, but I can help out tonight from approx 5pm-10pm. I'll be with the kids though and have to work tomorrow, so won't be able to hang back late.
You can call me on 0403 914 723. Cheers, Matt

Hey all,

The good folk at Omafiets in Redfern are selling a bunch of their vintage road bikes on eBay, with bids starting at $99.

http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/omafietsdutc ... pg=&_from=

Check it out, y'all!

Matt T

Hi all, If you've been through Game of Thrones, The Wire, Borgen, The Bridge, etc and are looking for a new binge-TV experience, may I point you in the direction of "De Ronde". It's a 2011 Flemish series set against the backdrop of the 2010 Tour of Flanders. There's some fantastic behind t...

Matt T

I'm thinking of giving this a go. Can you just turn up on the morning and pay the fees then?

Matt T

Hi Brendan,

Just sent you a text message - cheers, Matt

Matt T

Thanks John, just wanted to double check after my last effort! I had fun last night, hopefully can make it down again soon

Matt T

How are we looking for track training tonight (Monday, June 1)?

Matt T

Hi all, Does anyone have a pair of old size 43 (or thereabouts) road/track shoes they want to get rid of for cheap ($0-$40)? I'm after something for my bigfooted 14-year-old son who's getting into track cycling, but don't want to fork out big bikkies in case it's just a phase he's going through. Che...

Matt T

Hi all,

I'm contemplating heading down to Eastern Creek Motorway for the Waratah's aged-based scratch race (I'm 45, so not sure what age-range I'll be racing against).

Anyone else up who's not doing Dinnerville up for it?

Matt T

Hi there,

I went down to the Tempe velodrome tonight at 6.30pm (Monday May 18) to give track riding a go for the first time, but there was no-one there.

Have I got my days/times/location mixed up?

Matt T

Sounds intriguing - I'm 50/50, might see you at 7. Any idea of entry fee?

Matt T

Hi all, As I mentioned in the email trail, i can't do early set up, but will be available from 12 onwards for marshalling, BBQing, and whatever else needs to be done. Have updated roster below accordingly. Call for VOLUNTEERS for Classic Bike Show 28 March 2015 We appreciate your help. Please add yo...

Matt T

Hi Dennis,

I've emailed you a copy of the poster.

Cheers

Matt

Matt T

Because I'm a non-hardcore wuss (and because I have to get back home ASAP after the race) I'll be driving up.

Matt T

Jon, sounds like you'll have a couple of superdomestiques at your disposal, so no excuses for not taking that top step on the podium.

I think it's all filled up now - the only places left when I signed on were 2 in D-grade.

See you guys there!

Matt T

Whoah - you guys are hard core! Due to a change of job (less commuting) I haven't been riding as much this year, so I'm going to enter in D-grade. Just a heads-up - the competition is pretty stiff at West Head; a grade up from Waratah Masters, I reckon (eg. C-grade Waratah = D-grade West Head). Anyw...

Matt T

Any red jerseys thinking of entering the first West Head race for the year?

Entries for non MWCC riders opens on Tuesday

Matt T

Just wanted to so a big thank you to whoever found the black Rudy Project helmet and gloves at the velodrome this evening (March 4) - I think I drove off with them sitting on the roof of my car!

Matt T

I could see if my 14-year-old son's rock band from Dulwich High wants to play? They did a gig at Summer Hill PS last year with a kick-ass cover of The Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog".

Matt T

Hi Marc,

Put me down for a spot of tent-erecting, BBQing, crowd marshalling and whatever else needs doing on the day.

Cheers

Matt

Matt T

Well done all, for placing and for racing.

Anyone thinking of doing the MWCC West Head race this Sunday? I reckon I'll have another go

Matt T

They worked okay when I just clicked on them then, so maybe it is Tapatalk?

You've got to be quick with these interweb thingees! Here's the official site - click on the red "EN" button at the top to see the English subtitled version. http://animatorexpo.com/hillclimbgirl/ And while I'm at it, here's a link to another great cycling anime: Nasu, Summer in Andalusia ...

Came across this great anime, had to share it with the forum:

Only in Japan!

Matt T

Jdubs, unfortunately the MWCC site says that all spots are filled and there won't be any others on the day. But there's always next month

Matt T

Hey Jon,

I've raced West Head once before in April as a D grade - and got unceremoniously dropped about 7km in, rode the rest of race solo! The competition oop North is a bit tougher than Waratah Masters. My goal for tomorrow is to not get shelled again!

Matt T

Hi all, Is anyone up for a road race at West Head next Sunday? http://www.manlywarringahcc.org.au/events/wd40-bikes-akuna-west-head-rr-november-9/#more-1791 I'm going to enter in D-grade. It's a pretty lumpy course with open ages, so from my rather limited race experience I reckon D-grade is roughly...

Matt T

Hi Stuart,

I reckon I might come along - what time will you be at Centennial Park gates?

Matt T

(BELATED) RACE REPORT So I got down to Eastern Creek for the second time last Sunday. I was hoping to see some other red jerseys there, but the only other DHBCer I saw was Ron, racing in E (or F). Did you make it down there White Princess, Beejay and Rob? This time I race in Cs with 53 others (I thi...

Matt T

Hey James, Great write up! Our family went to Japan for 2 weeks in 2013 and it was without a doubt the best holiday EVER. Amazing food, people, fashion, culture (both old and new), scenery .... Didn't get to do too much riding, apart from trundling around Kyoto and Matsumoto on "mamichari"...

Hi all,

I'm contemplating getting Oscar a track bike for Chrissy, and came across this site selling reasonably cheap track ready fixies:

Does anyone with more track nous than myself have an opinion on these bikes? Do you reckon they'd cut the mustard?

Cheers

Matt T

I'm a 28er to Waterfall and haven't raced since April, so I've entered in D grade - hopefully see some of you there!

Matt T

Assuming I can get a leave pass, I'm in!

Matt T

Thanks everyone for all the bike mechanic suggestions. I was intrigued by the idea of a mobile service, did some Googling and ending up going with Barry from Bike Boyz, based in Maroubra. Bad company name, but very good service. It took about 2 hours all up, he just parked outside my place and got t...

Matt T

I'm interested in this - is there somewhere I can find out more about it? Had a quick Google, but nothing much about this year's race

Matt T

Just read the e-newsletter, that's fantastic news about the upcoming crit at Rookwood in September! I was riding there just the other week, and thinking it's a bit of an unknown gem - the main circuit around the cemetery is about 4.6km, and makes for a nice change from CP (with a more interesting pa...

Matt T

Cool, thanks Colin - see you 5.30ish!

Matt T

Hi all, It's time to get my road bike serviced, but my regular mech monkey (Israel from Bike Brain in Pyrmont) has shut up shop. Can anyone recommend a good, not too crazily expensive shop/mechanic? I usually get my commuter bike serviced at Glow Worm, who are very nice and reasonably priced, but th...

Matt T

I'm in as The Domestique. I've also set up a separate league under the name Drug Pedallers (password is tourdefrance) - it has fewer people in it, and most of us have no idea, so feel free to join and watch yourself fly up the rankings

Matt T

Hi there, Can anyone tell me if the junior training will be on tonight, or does the rain mean it will be cancelled? My 9 y.o son has expressed an interest to give it a go, and this is one of the few Wed evenings where I can get him down there on time. If it is, he has a mountain bike - is that okay ...

Matt T

Yep, it's great fun - I took my 13 y.o. son to the Oaks for the first time a couple of weeks back, he really had a blast on the single track, both the old section at the end of the fire trail, and the new bermy bit - and so did I. The best MTB trail in the Sydney region? Discuss.

Matt T

Count me in, too!

I'll also be setting up fantasy leagues in the Road CC and Velogames comps soon - will post as a new forum topic when I do

Matt T

Hi Amy, the next West Head race is on June 22. http://www.manlywarringahcc.org.au/news/next-road-race-firey-cup-june-22/#more-1641 It says that day licences are available (which is not usually the case), so that might be a good option for anyone interested in having a go without forking out for a go...

Oh, I didn't realise he was dhbc - he had a different jersey on. I would have cheered him on, he did a great sprint for the win!

Matt T

RACE REPORT Well, West Head was ... an education. It was only about 28km, or an hour, of racing, but it felt like twice that. I went in a small D-grade group. I managed to almost drop my bottle at the end of the neutralised climb, just before the start, and the subsequent faffing around meant I had ...

Matt T

Thanks everyone for the great ride this morning. Got my gates mixed up and waited at Loch Ave, but managed to find you guys at the top of Bronte. Really enjoyed the ride out of Watsons Bay up to Heartbreak Hill - never done it that way before. With bunches to Waterfall getting ever bigger, any chanc...

Matt T

Righto, depending on weather/hangover/other extenuating circumstances I might see you there

Matt T

Hi,

Does this ride have a meeting time and place at Centennial Park on the way out on Saturday morning? If so, when and where is it?

Thanks!

Matt T

Hey all, Just wondering if anyDHBC peeps are thinking of going in the MWCC's West Head race from Akuna Bay this Sunday http://www.manlywarringahcc.org.au/events/hed-ardennes-akuna-west-head-road-race-may-11/#more-1595 I've never done it before, so I think I might have a go at D grade - it would be n...

Matt T

Actually, this does sound tempting, provided the weather clears up.

Any idea what masters grades will race, as it seems they only have an hour in which to run them?

And what is the dragway course like - is it similar to the speedway?

Matt T

Hi there, don't think I'll do this Sunday - going away to Bali soon and don't want to risk a crash beforehand. Last Sunday was fun, but pretty intense - a much more challenging course and race than at eastern creek. Maybe partly cause they bumped me up to C grade. I came in 8th I think, out of 29. M...

Matt T

Hi there,

Just wondering if any other DHBC peeps are contemplating going to the Waratah Masters crit at Lansdowne Park on Sunday morning, March 23?

http://www.waratahmasters.com.au/eventsmenu.cfm

I'm thinking of giving C or D grade a crack ...

Matt T

It started off mellow enough, pretty much like a club run for the first few laps. Things didn't really pick up until the whistle blew for the intermediate prime - a couple of fellows went off the front, and seeing as I was close by I thought I'd follow them. They started to fade on the inclines up t...

Matt T

Well, I bit the bullet and entered my first race this morning at Eastern Creek with the Waratah vets - D-grade with 31 other starters. I won the sprint prime ... and won the race! Huzzah! :P Three other DHBCers raced on the day, and all did well. Peter Tregillgas got 4th in E-grade, Rob Webber came ...

Matt T

Actually, now I think about it, I've got some specific questions. How long is the race? What sort of average speeds are you looking at for the different grades? Do all the grades start at the same time, or do you go off in intervals? Does it get confusing working out who's in which grade? I assume y...

Matt T

Well, just heard back from Waratah - you can get a one-day licence for $40 (which includes race entry fee), so I think I might give it a crack.

I've never raced before, so I assume I'll go into the lowest grade. Any tips for a not-so-young player?

Any other DHBCers planning on going?

Matt T

I'm interested in racing this year (like Dave, I'm a mid-C28), but haven't got a gold licence yet. Can you get a one-day licence on the day at Eastern Creek?
