Hi guys,

I have a friend who is looking to buy a Penny Farthing.

If anyone knows of someone looking to sell, can you let me know.

Don't know my FTP, however, whilst in Brisbane for work this week I used an exercise bike that output power. Maybe it can be calculated ?

I slowly ramped up the resistance and sat on 230W for the last 5 minutes of the workout. I'm around 75 - 76kg.

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

Can't help with which type is best, but I bought mine from www.physiosupplies.com.au

They seem to have a good range at reasonable prices.

Thanks for organising the ride Todd. It was good to get back on a club ride.

Geoff riding solo on the tandem on the Cooks river path at Mackey Park about 8:30 this morning.

Brain wasn't in gear and i only managed a g'day.

mr mojo

I like the prosthetic engineer's suspension fork.

mr mojo

And two hill repeats to boot. Well done Greg !!!

mr mojo

Sorry, that should read "500km in four days".

500Km in 4 days.

Day 1 – Cooma – Tumut                – 175km
Day 2 – Tumut – Khancoban          – 135km
Day 3 – Khancoban – Thredbo        - 70km
Day 4 – Thredbo – Cooma             - 100km

Hello All, Sorry for the very late notice. A friend of mine is hosting a breakfast tomorrow morning for the launch of the Kwik Kopy Hands Across the Water Classic, a four day 800km ride that starts and ends in Cooma and circles around Kosciuszko. It kicks off at 7:30am at the Nilla Reception Lounge ...

Well done DHBCR on a great first day racing the NRS. Good luck for the remaining stages.

Good luck with the new business Adrian. I'll let my non club cycling mates know.

Well done to all the junior DHBC riders. Looks like the future is in good hands.

Well done Dougie. Great effort on (starting) and finishng the ride.

mr mojo

This is exciting !! Good luck guys.

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

I wouldn't say i've been resisting Strava but sometimes it's better not to know just how bad a rider you are :D I only just hit the 21st century last week when work supplied us with iPhones so i loaded the Strava app to see what all the fuss is about. So far i've only recorded a few short solo rides...

mr mojo

Well done Eleri, that's a great achievement.

Simon,

Thanks to the organisers and volunteers or putting on a great show. It was my first foray into steel and all i can say is that i am in love. That black Guerciotti was just stunning.

Looking forward to next years show.

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

Thanks for the update Eleri. Sounds like Greg's making some really good progress.

mr mojo

I love the coffee cart. My mates and i were just talking about this over coffee at Centennial Park on Sunday.

mr mojo

That's awesome news. Go Greg !!!!

mr mojo

Big congratulations to everyone involved in getting the DHBC Racing team set up. Can't wait to see the guys on the road. Good luck for the coming race season.

Cheers

mr mojo

Thanks for the updates Eleri.

I generally work from home at least 2 days a week, so I am around to help out during the week if required. mob 0438 520 693.

Would like to extend my thoughts to Greg and his family. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

Thanks Greg.

I'm in too. Registering as we speak. This time I plan to take enough food and electrolyte to get me there without bonking and cramping!! Last year was a horror! :oops: I've registered and am looking forward to my first JWJC, especially since I pulled out due to illness last year. I take it from the...

mr mojo

Great report Dougie. It sounds like as good a week of cycling as you could ever wish for.

PS - customs told me you aren't allowed to bring Civet coffee into the country but at $400 a kilo I wasn't tempted.

mr mojo

Chatting to Dougie on the La Per ride this morning - he claims to be up to page 5!

Yes, he suggested a couple of hours and a nice glass of red were required to get through the epic he is creating.

mr mojo

Well done Eleri and all the DHBC crew who took on the various rides. That's a great effort.

mr mojo

Good luck guys. Have fun and enjoy (as much as you can enjoy climbing mountains).

Cheers
Spiros

Don't want to pull the thread off topic but the Lance 8% efficiency gains had nothing to do with pedalling efficiency.

mr mojo

If you have Foxtel and want to watch the interview, it will be shown at 1pm this Friday on the Discovery Channel (quite fitting actually).

mr mojo

That sounds like great fun but not sure if I can make it due to a Xmas function.

Any idea what time we'd be back at Marrickville ?

A DHBC NRS team sounds awesome so i am still keen to donate even if I'm not able to make it on the day.

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

I'm sure that would be a good ride but I've got buckleys of getting a leave pass for the weekend so soon after Fitz's.

mr mojo

Woo hoo. 7 finishers behind me. I wasn't last !!!

Well done Anthony. It was good to meet you on the day. Adrian and I managed to get home from Tharwa in a respectable 388th position.

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

By what you can see in that video, the car had right of way?

From what I can make out from the audio the first thing the bike rider says as he gets up off the road is: "expletive, Virgin Mary, you had a red light"

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

Honeysuckle creek, no wonder it hurt. The graph on strava shows numerous points on the climb where the gradient is over 20% and a few over 25%. Think I need to swap the front sprocket with the back one.

OK, now I remember why I chose to ride the 165km. Those numbers are freaking scary

mr mojo

How did everyone go with the stench from the rotting 'roo carcasses on the side of the road ? They seemed to coincide with hills when you were breathing hard and the smell almost turned my stomach on more than one occasion.

mr mojo

Well done Anthony and all the other DHBC riders. I gave a couple of shout outs whenever I saw the red jerseys on the road. I managed to complete the 165km in about 7hr 40mins rolling time, 9hr total time. I'm pretty happy to make it to the finish. It was my longest ever ride by 60 km which also maes...

8 cases of Creatures - there's a big difference

It's only ever Creatures.

Looks like I won't be travelling to Perth for work next year. I will miss going to the brewery at Freo.

Thanks for all your support guys.

I know for next year. Eight first prizes of a case of beer

Hello DHBC'ers, As part of the Fitz's Challenge, I am running a Raffle to help with my fundraising for The Kid's Cancer Project.

mr mojo

Unfortunately I don't think it ever will. It's human nature to cheat, and while there's money to be made it will continue. Also the current structure of professional cycling doesn't provide for stability as teams battle for UCI ranking points to obtain their ProTour licence. At least Stephen finally...

yeah I like Matt from Five Docks piece. In a nutshell!

My exact comment to a non cycling friend who sent me the link yesterday.

mr mojo

Hi guys, In a few weeks I'll be doing the 165km Fitz's Challenge, but I am flying out this Saturday for work and will be off the bike for the next 10 days. The hotel is in a small village in Switzerland and has no gym so i was wondering what other training I could do. So far I have: 1. Run, run and ...

Burwood Cycles (Cycleworld) have test Selle SMP Lite 209's which are truly assume saddles ... they're $300 though less your 10-15% DHBC discount.

mr mojo

Spotted a few of the DHBC crew climbing through the RNP this morning as I was heading down the other way from the Garie turnoff.

Was a great day to be in the park.

mr mojo

Completed my first RNP ride with John (in at Waterfall), who did it the hard way with a 42 tooth inner chainring!!

The glutes and thighs are feeling a bit fatigued, so hopefully they recover in time for next week when I tackle it in the harder direction

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

Hi John,

Since it's my first RNP I'll ride out at 25's pace. Talk tomorrow morning but if you're okay waiting at Waterfall it suits me.

Spiros

mr mojo

Hi Spiros I'm keen, though I think I might have cooked myself riding the eastern suburbs hills this morning. Will deffo ride Waterfall though - perhaps we can chat then. I'll be in a Blue-Green Cell top riding a Silver/Grey Orbea. Cheers Greg Hi Greg, No problem. We'll catch up tomorrow at the cafe...

mr mojo

I'm keen for my first RNP ride but am only really a 25/28's pace at best.

Any other slowies interested ?

Spiros

mr mojo

Hi Greg,

I should be able to make this weekend for a RNP ride. Will post closer to the day to work out the details.

Regards
Spiros

mr mojo

Hi Greg,

I'm keen to give the RNP a go in the next week or two as I need to get climbing metres in the legs for Fitz's. Might have a few mates coming along as well.

Spiros

mr mojo

Wow, Not sure how they let that happen, but I'm recording the highlights and will find out tonight.

mr mojo

I caught the replay on Eurosports the other day. It was pretty evil.

You know it's tough when the pros are at walking pace. Read a report that Teklehelmanot (sp) from Greenedge crossed the line while vomiting

mr mojo

Hi Philip and Anthony, I would be happy to join you guys, although I generally ride with the 25's and would be way too slow for you. I might see how I go on a 28's ride first to see if i can keep up until the Audley turn off. Will have to be in a couple of weeks though as I am away this weekend. Che...

mr mojo

Thanks Philip. That route looks like perfect training for the 165.

mr mojo

Well done Eleri !!!

If work doesn't get in the way, I look forward to seeing you on the new bike on Wednesday.

Cheers
Spiros

mr mojo

That was a great read. I was laughing along until I realised that would be me in less than a couple of months

The only consolation is that doing the 165km I turn around after Fitz's hill.

What are the hills like in the RNP ? Do any of them hit anywhere near 14 percent gradients ?

mr mojo

I have entered the 165km and will also be fundraising for the Kid's Cancer Project. I am running a raffle with prizes including an Apple iPod Nano, 2 cases of Little Creatues finest Pale Ale, Little Creatures Merchandise (baseball cap and bottle opener) and a Kid's Cancer Project Teddy Bear. Every $...

That works. See you at 6.

I'm on school drop off duty tomorrow. What time do we get back to Marrickville ?

Thanks
Spiros

mr mojo

I can vouch for the M7. In fact I managed to push out 42km on it this morning all non stop. Agree with everything Stuey has said. I have mainly ridden it early morning weekdays and there is ever only light bike and pedestrian traffic. First weekend ride was last Sunday and there was way less bike tr...

mr mojo

You guys a freaks !!!! The 105km was hard enough last year but peer pressure from my mates has pushed me to enter the 165km this year. I do recommend it though. As Adrian said, it is well organised and you can also fundraise for the Kid's Cancer Project if you so choose. I've only ever ridden 105km ...

mr mojo

Okay, excellent.

I'll try to get there between 6:30 and 7:00pm if that's good with you.

Spiros

mr mojo

Hi Christian,

Just wondering if you had an ETA on the clothing order ?

Thanks
Spiros

mr mojo

Yeah I reckon cav for the first week, then the GC, no green unless wiggins is out.

I read cav has dropped 4kg's in prep for the Olympics. Not sure if that's enough to affect his power but may just open it up a little for the likes of Goss and Greipel.

mr mojo

I'm hoping for clean racing, a cadel GC and goss for the green.

Another late entry. Bib also in the mail.

As per the previous post - has anyone ridden this before ? Is this ride supported with water / food or BYO ?

Hi Dougie, I think Simon's post makes good sense, but Mike's comment on the Gatorskins is also worth a thought.

Well done boys. I did the 105km and found that plenty tough enough. Don't know how you survived Fitz's Hill, I was near my limit on the first big climb out of Cotter. Anyway, managed to take 42minutes off last years time, so I am pretty happy with that. Would be good to hear how everyone else went. ...
