YEP !! IT'S A GOER

Trouty

Another alternative is just hiring a van.

Insomniac has a van and may be able to take you if he decides to go. He expressed interest earlier, but not sure about wether he still intends to go. Maybe Private message him.

Trouty

Another good thing apart from her health is that Lindsay has contacted her and can supply her a bike for her Perth trip with Mark Hales. Given the circumstances she will probably be happier being away than moping around at home. Dentists take a long time, however, the hospital has given her referal ...

Trouty

Oh dear, I hope Amy is OK. If she's still in, I'll try and visit tonight.Get Stuart to take the bike down to an LBS and have them prepare a quotation. Amy just called. She has been released and she is ok. The bike will be fully covered, she may get a new bike out of it. She will be at home resting ...

Trouty

Did police attend the scene? Make sure there's a police report and reference as well as details on the witness. Yes I waited for Police to get there. It took them an hour and the station is just 2 minutes away. Anyway - there is a witness and I handed the names and contacts of both the witness and ...

Trouty

Hi all, Amy was hit head on by a taxi this morning. She was travelling at 5.30am on Redfern St and had a green light to proceed. A taxi travelling in the other direction also had a green light, however, turned right into Chalmers St and hit Amy. I got a phone call from her this morning and was at th...

Trouty

I met PAIN and can't say that he is my friend. Grand Parade was certainly a challenge with the head wind and that much harder when you are at the front with Colin (who seems to make it look easy). Riding out to Waterfall has never been so hard for me even though I am starting to spend more time at ...

Trouty

If Derryn Hinch had witnessed my ride the immortal words "Shame! Shame! Shame! As far as Troutman's declaration that the course was as easier than Waterfall...what bloody planet are you on? Ok - maybe it wasn't easier. I'm not the best at geography or obviously topography - I couldn't even rem...

Trouty

Mike those last jersey designs look great.

Black side panels always make you look skinnier......So they have my vote.

Trouty

As I mentioned, I wasn't there so can't really comment without knowing the riders and situation. Riders like Michelle and Ron are experienced enough to know when they are not having the best day and in some cases for the group, it is better for people at that point to voluntarily exit as was the cas...

Trouty

The Dulwich Hill side at Loop the Lake today consisted of: Miguel and Annie (Annie a supporter), Michael Insomniac & his partner Tracy, Rodney & Fiancée (I forgot her name Sorry Rodney - but she was lovely), Stuart and of course me. We were met by another couple of friends of mine from work....

Trouty

I agree with James that people should be punctual, and most other clubs set a time and leave on the dot. It's good practice, discipline and general courtesy. The only thing I would comment on is that on a slowies RNP ride - it should be a no drop ride to encourage people to take the leap. I wasn't t...

Trouty

I prefer Black pants (hides a lot of sins), although it does make some people look like "Harry High Pants" with nix pulled up past there waist. Anyway - put me down for one. I can't do the winter racing series and be the only one not in the new kit. On the assumption of quality products. (...

Trouty

I wish I got out of work early enough to join you!! Shame

Trouty

Hi Geoff, I would normally love to see the photos as food is always great at your place, but I have a monster tender on at work due on the Monday the 15th and I could be out for Friday night and some time over the weekend trying to finish things off. So assume not for me, although if it is on and I ...

Trouty

Lol thats why i want the job! they take blood and urine. Im not into the urine colecting, but id be happy to do the needles :D Tim, didn't know you were that much of a saddist. Wow - testing at club level, that is pretty heavy. I guess it would be A grade only surely???? Only that those things cost...

Trouty

Unfortunately 2 or 3 of us who would otherwise riding to RNP on Sunday will be laking the loop as I like to say. Hope there is good roll up, a great bike ride. Stuart and I will be at loop the lake, to make sure Insomniac wakes up for the race on Sunday... so this slow coach will be sitting out of ...

Trouty

I may give this year's event a miss and do the B2B in April instead.

Yes - Stuart and I will be doing B2B also

Trouty

That's an expensive little accident. I didn't know there was so much contact allowed in this race.

Trouty

I also notice that the jerseys and nix that Brat's have, are made by a brand called cannibal (australian). I just noticed the padding in the shorts was pretty good and the actual jersey is nice fabric and fit. www.cannibal.com.au Just another option if you were looking around for next year. THis yea...

Trouty

After the Waterfall turn off in the slowies group, even though the pace was controlled it is clear that not all of us understand how the pace line should work. We spent a lot of energy changing the lead from the back of the line. Whether the pace line is a single file pace line, or a double file - t...

Trouty

I'll take that car spot if its still free please

It's yours Matt - BTW, is your pinched nerve ok then?

Trouty

I was also interested in getting some t-shirts printed for wearing to races (as cheer-squad) and other events. Put me down for one Ladies Large (12). I am prepared to wait for better quality. The one I bought last year, I never wear as the size is all wrong. I like the ladies ones that had no elast...

Trouty

maybe see you thurs for a race ...

Wish I could race with the c grade possy tonight. Shame. I have to go to drinks and dinner instead. Go DHBC take home the money! We expect big things from you Micklan

Trouty

Hi All, Mike with the punctured lung (who by the way has started riding a stationery trainer within the 6 week time frame that was advised) - has asked me to put a post up reminding people that there will definitely be a roller session on this Thursday 19th Feb. It starts at 7pm with Mike making you...

Trouty

Cool - see you there. It is suppose to be sunny this arvo anyway. It is boiling out here in the city.

Trouty

Anyone coming tonight to do a roller session???.

Amy - give me a call if you want me to pick you up seeing your bike is packed up.

Trouty

I'm keen for a roller session as it looks pretty crap in North Sydney at 4 O'clock.

...I'm training at Dunc Gray tonight as that is on rain, hail or shine! See you guys on Wednesday

Trouty

2 out of the three are sort of bike related then there's the trout....................... Well - seeing I did the artwork, I couldn't really make up a name that was going to talk me up without me seeming like I was totally up myself!. Terrific Trout, Tornado Trout, Trackstar Trout.....all sound a b...

Trouty

Just wondering due to the bad forecast for the weather this week, if there is any roller or stationery training session on at Tempe if training is called off on the track due to rain? Be nice to get some sort of riding in this week.

Trouty

Hopefully if the weather is good I will ride. If it is raining though - I will be a no show. I will turn up at 6.15 for the 6.20 group.

Trouty

Hi guys, Geoff is away and so are Stu and I on the 22nd. Originally we had planned for Mike Clements to take the Cruisers Waterfall Group on this date, but obviously that is not possible due to his current "Punctured Lung". Anyway - there are enough strong cruisers to take the group, that ...

Trouty

Yes well - Stu and I decided last night that if it rained we would both do a stationery training session with both trainers out and us riding together..............needless to say at the first sight of rain this morning, the session went out the window and the snooze button was a much better alterna...

Trouty

Yep - rollers were great fun on Thursday, although after having no resistance....I am really feeling those muscles that don't get used alot. Some people commented at work that ......well let's say I was walking funny on Friday. Stretching was a really good idea at the end. A bit disappointing no one...

Trouty

Did you notice that Joanne's knick isn't symmetrical? And why are all the roadie ladies leaving the visor on their helmets? <Mike> notice Joanne's socks don't match? OK OK - I understand it is pick on the Trout day today !! I get the visor comment.....but just so you know, I have bought a new helme...

Trouty

If anyone was wondering what Adrian was referring to in the post in relation to DHBC song and "Killer Camilla", this is what it is (refer to pic). I thought it was a good promo shot for the DHBC girls and it appears in the intro on one of our track videos. Go girls - we look really mean - ...

Trouty

There's really no reason to be scared or dislike an ITT effort after being dropped, especially if you know the way. I'm actually not scared of being dropped.....but more worried about the hour it will take me to change my tube if I get a flat!!! If worse comes to worse Weiyun - I will have your mob...

Trouty

There are a few that need to move from the cruisers up to the middies. When we get back from Tas I'd be happy to lead the middies if that's acceptable by the group. Wow good to see everyone having their say. I am pretty sure the strong slowies will be happy to move up if there are a few of them as ...

Trouty

C'mon Jo, give it a go!

No worries - when Lindsay comes back I will join you guys.

Trouty

How about us slowies wanting to graduate, put our hands up now and declare our intention to ride in middies..and get this group going in a fair dinkum way. I can think of a few of us now who should go up ....former Slow Coach now Middies Coach Jo, Miguel, Andres, Amy, Matt, Camilla, Daryl. If there...

Trouty

Everyone in the Cruisers should get some experience riding on the back for the lane change calls etc, same goes for the front, keeping a constant pace, deciding if a lane change is required. Don't worry - I'll get everyone doing there job on Sunday. There is enough experienced people in the group t...

Trouty

Ok - I had some feedback on Sunday that some people thought in spots that the pace for the Cruisers was a bit fast. The pace should be to the slowest rider as I guess that is the point with slowies. I hadn't realised people were struggling to keep up at Grand Parade , as we had some good callers/swe...

Trouty

Unbelievable!! Still cant believe it is possible to do all those KM on a Penny - and still be sane. Good on you - all the best

Trouty

Hi again, ... if I just want to do social rides what will the cost be?Mark You can ride with Dulwich Hill and not be a member. We ride every saturday socially at centenial, and as you get better you can try the Waterfall rides on a Sunday which is 80km. If you want to ride regularly it's probably b...

Trouty

I favour once a month.. I favour once a month to start off with until us cruisers build up to it. In chatting with a few people on the RNP ride they were comfortable they could commit to doing a regular ride like this once a month. Michael K - It won't take you long to catch me......Hills have neve...

Trouty

I think an RNP ride once a month for us cruisers is a a great idea as a start, possibly not the first Sunday of the month considering some of us have Omnium on the first Saturday of the month. This breaks up the Sunday slowies group occassionally which is becoming quite large and hard to manage, whi...

Welcome to my world.

Trouty

Hi Mike,

Glad to see you must be home, considering you are posting to the site. Weiyun and I figured out that we both gave you exactly the same Magazine at your hospital visit (RIDE), so both of us have dibs on the magazine when you finish!! Enjoy relaxing.

Trouty

Weiyun, I noticed you photoshopped yourself in. That is excellent !!!!!! You can't even tell.

Again...many thanks, I think they all enjoyed the ride.

Trouty

Thanks Weiyun and Geoff for taking us slowies to the RNP. I think the slowies were all quite strong (with me almost being the weakest link up those hills). It is a good opportunity for the stronger slowies to do some thing different. Maybe we should look at doing it once a month or some thing like t...

Here is the last edition to T-bones post, Line 3 and 4
T BONE:
There was riding up the bank, and sprinting for the line
They said, here comes the bell lap, let's get it on

There’s a break away on the track, as all of DHBC attack
No matter how far the’re behind, they'll be the first to the finish line

Trouty

Does a punctured lung count in the 2009 puncture competition??

Mike has responded from his hospital bed:
"Do I lose my points because some one else fixed my lung". I guess he is feeling better.

Trouty

Get well soon Mike... Does a punctured lung count in the 2009 puncture competition?? Lindsay ... that is hilarious !!! Maybe we could all chip in $1.00 and start the "Buy Mike some new parts FUND" seeing every thing on his bike is recycled or preloved. I believe he is still using Toff's s...

Trouty

Mike had a crash at Tempe Track last night when we were racing with Randwick Botany. Luckily noone else was near him at the time, even though it was a combined handicap with A, B & C grade all racing together. Unfortunately Mikes pedal came away from his cranks when he was going at high speed, a...

Trouty

All I can say is I think "Killer Camilla" must get a line somewhere. I will have to think of some thing re Killer Camilla, but how is this to add to the existing song: They are hunky well trained men, who can ride you to the ground Watch out for the jerseys, there’ll be a red one coming a...

Trouty

Mike is tough, I am sure he will be fine, but I very much doubt he will be riding on Sunday judging by his condition tonight. His pedal was still attached to his shoe after the crash. He also had a few cuts and abrasians. He was really flying before he went down.

Trouty

Wieyan may have to take the RNP slowies on his own (with help from us slowies), as we were racing at the track tonight and Mike had an accident. His pedal either came off or broke off. Although knowing the age of his gear it could have rusted off. Anyway - Mike came down hard and had a lot of troubl...

Trouty

So, did you guys race? I decided to stay in the shade. YEP - It was hot and windy! It wasn't exactly a 4pm start. It was probably 5.30 before we all got the energy to warm up....but it was still a good day. A couple of very short Video's will be posted on the forum when Stuart gets back. Thank you ...

Trouty

Must of misunderstood...seems to be quite a few slowies intending to ride tomorrow...thought they were doing "their" ride as well as the Ausse Day ride. Yep Weiyun, us "Cruisers" did RNP as a warm up to next weeks ride. There was about 8 of us. It was a nice easy pace but still ...

Its a nice relaxed form of racing, if we get enough girls they will put on a girls section, theres one allready there, i think she is cool with being in c grade though. If we get 4 or 5 we can have a race though. OK - Next Thursday I can't make it, but I will definately ride after that. Better star...

But it is good th...

Trouty

Mike and Weiyan,
Some one told me you guys were leading out a slowies ride to RNP on the 1st of Feb. I had a few takers on today's "Cruisers" ride that said they want to go (including myself), so can you guys put a post out on departure time meeting place etc

Trouty

BTW Slow Coach - you should be pleased that one of your students rode RNP yesterday. I rode out to Otford (all on my little own) then back down into the park to the Audley turnoff...and then it got nasty, but made it up them darn hills though! TONKA TUFF! TO INSOMNIAC: Good work grasshopper, now yo...

Trouty

Trouty

Jo, what are you doing on the computer at home at 7.15 on saturdau morning when you should be setting the pace at slowies? Looked for you but alas, no Jo coach. Took clients out to watch tennis yesterday so I was buggered, and slept in. Obviously I was still half a sleep as that message I wrote did...

Trouty

I'm in - if its half as good as the JW Classic, it will be a great ride. Also easy to get a B&B up there for Tracy to come up the night before in the VAN :lol: The place Stuart and I stayed last year and where we will stay again is as below. Prices start from $140 per room, on the website, but ...

Trouty

Is there a girls grade?

Trouty

Good work Stuart. Questions. 1) Has Joanne still got that vido of the C grade 1 lap screamer from Day 1 of the 3 days of Racing? I'm hoping to have a look at it, either online or elsewhere. Hi Chris, Stuart uploaded it yesterday but needs to link to the site - juts go to YouTube and search on DHBC ...

Trouty

(man stuart that was an amazingly informative post! im amazed (by its amazingness))

Yes - my Stuart is what you would call thorough bordering on Anal Retentive which is why he is good at computers....and a good choice for maintaining the DHBC website.

He's a keeper!

Trouty

Can someone tell me the web site for the pro shots? If you are ordering any, I already ordered the photo with us 3 girls in the shot on the track. Amy is in the front you are second and I am blurred in the back ground. I thought it would be a good one to have for DHBC, so don't order that one as I ...

Trouty

I wonder how long it will take us girls to get to the point that we actually think about a race. At this point - we are all just trying to hang on - and not get dropped, or in my case not get disqualified or crash into some one else!!

Trouty

Thanks crafty for organising the whole thing, and simon for having the balls to ride a A grade madison with a rider whos only been on the track for less than 3 months. Alex. Well you pulled of a win so Simon's instincts must have been spot on. It was a great race to watch - I recorded the last 3 la...

Hi there, Yes Stuey and I are up for it. I will be going pretty slow as had a real hard training ride this morning and I am feeling a bit exhausted - so a nice leisure ride sounds good for me.

Trouty

Hi All, Just reminding every one that no matter what the weather is like Sunday, catering has been factored in (taking account a few strays that may turn up) so breakfast at 1 Arlington st, Dulwich Hill is still on. If it rains you can sleep in and turn up at 9am. Maybe even a beer and champers wait...

Trouty

I thought I would give anyone coming to breakfast a preview of Stuart in action. Lucky for you all - I am the helper and Stuart will be the cook (he is quite good) !! I am usually there to ensure he stops taking constant swigs of champagne and stops talking long enough so you can all get your breakf...

Have you been watching Top Gear on SBS tonight?

No - just thought the name was fitting. I also dont mind the shorter version of the names:

1) Cruise
2) Pace
3) Speed

Trouty

How about Fast, Faster and Fastest. That way we are all fast no matter how slow! Implying the slow group is fast - might defeat the whole purpose for new riders. How about the below names and rankings: 1) Cruisers - For new riders - No drop ride - Ave 27 - 29km/hr 2) Pacers - For more experienced r...

Trouty

Where did they come from - did you buy them from Actionsnaps?

Hey Hew,

Yes I bought them off action snaps. I have the good quality original files, so if you want me to email them or put them on a disk for you I can - no worries.

Trouty

I'll probably be in for the 1st and the 3rd. Dammit Simon, I knew you would rope us in to some kind of cycling on New Years day !!!!!! I will put some pressure on the other girls to do it.....but good luck getting Amy to get up on New Years Day as I'm sure she will have a hangover. She loves a beer ...

Trouty

TWE is a commonly recommended boutique store for these custom wheels and you can spec a variety of bling bling colours. Tiffany rings are cheaper. ;) Actually - I am one of those girls that like BLING - So when you relate that to "Tiffany Rings" that means it would have to have a diamond....

Trouty

Stuart doesn't know it yet, but I think Santa will talk him into buying me a new set of Mavic Ksyrium wheels for Christmas. No I don't need them but that is not the point! At the moment I have the Mavic Aksium which seem to be heavier than the wheels I had on before that were donated to the "Li...

Trouty

Turning around at Waterfall we caught the Slowies and half way back to Seven Eleven, the Fasties came by with most of us at that stage tacking on the back. CORRECTION: I don't believe the Middies did actually catch the slowies. There was a group of 6 slowies. 4 of the slowies which included Lindsay...

Trouty

Just curious as can't make any rides for a few weeks - were there many middies? and if there were, did that leave many slowies? Did the slowies keep up with the middies or did the middies keep up with the fasties? Hi Insomniac. This week was a bit of a mixup as not many people new about the earlier...

I was also going to ask if anyone was interested in new years day?

I'm with Toff on this one NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Boxing day was a push, but as I am starting out and keen - I thought sure - BUT NEW YEARS DAY - You have to be kidding right? Do you ever NOT think about riding Simon?

Trouty

Good to see Hew got up close and personal again with Jinjie on Saturday night. Another photo to add to his collection.

Trouty

Yes it was a great night, and I encourage more of our female riders to enter things like this as it is a lot of fun, regardless of the competition level. I'll probably never be able to say again that I competed in the same race as a rider ranked No 1 in the world (even if she was taking it easy). I'...

Trouty

I like Simon's idea which is the winner of each race has to drink 4 beers, or 1 champagne if a girl miraculously wins. After simon and the rest of you boys win your first few races, the rest of us might have a shot of winning or either be the last ones upright.

Yep - Stu and I will be there.

Trouty

Thanks Simon for posting this....all I need is a whole bunch of people to see me come dead last or die from exhaustion at the finish line. Just kidding, I'm sure it will be fun experience either way.

Make sure Huw doesn't drop out or we will have to relegate him to the slow group as punishment.

Trouty

As the probably the longest serving member in the "slow" group - I am one of many now who find themselves in no mans land - (wanting to push harder than the slow group, but no where near making the transition to the fast group). A 3rd group would be ideal - but does it make it a bit too co...
