Jo, the Pursuit on the 30th is only for Elite licences.
There is a carnival as well, with the standard scratch/wheelraces etc events which is for everyone.

Ok - that makes sense. I've entered then.

Trouty

We're putting in a men's team pursuit team; ALex, Tim, Matt & a 4th rider to replace me. I was thinking about a women's elite team which only needs 3 but both Jess & Vic are touring today who have the elite licences. Team events are normally a good chnce to win medals, though the elite men'...

Trouty

I Notice this event closes today, for the 30th of Jan event date.....Team pursuit. Do we have any DHBC people entering?

Trouty

Hey all, Deus ex Machina have a swap meet with a roller derby on today if you have nothing better to do. There's a men's & women's category & the prizes are generally really good & it is really great fun! Plus since they are not proper roller but more of a trainer set up you don't reall...

Trouty

As much as we all like to give what people wants, but the reality is that we can't with our limited budget. With an order of 3, not only will the cost goes up markedly, it'll also complicate the pricing scenarios we have to inform people beforehand. But if those people are willing to accept $180-20...

Trouty

I think we should give people what they ordered - Long or short and in some cases people asked for both. i am sure they will be willing to pay the difference. As far as club stock goes - I guess stocking only short sleeve is a good idea to get the best pricing. One other thing - a lot of the trackie...

Trouty

Hope you had a good Birthday Alex. Thanks to Jana, friends and family for doing all the great food.....and it was a really nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Trouty

There is always the option to build a bike. My CF road bike cost around $3400. If you can get a frame cheap enough then its a good option. Cheap group sets can be found on ebay, I got my Force groupset for about $1100 from a local ebay seller. The main problem with going down this route is its hard...

Trouty

Thead now closed. Cheers Amost closed... Just wanted to post to the 13 or so trackies that were interested in a skinsuit, that I have spoken to Geoff M and it looks like DHBC will be doing a big order fairly soon, so it is probably worth the wait given track season is almost over now. Watch the for...

Trouty

Also would prefer good old cotton t-shirt rather than a 50% poly and 50% cool dry mix as its more comfortable and like Toff I see its main use as a general use shirt, rather than anything I'd ride or train in - especially as my role at the track is support crew / cheer squad only! Hey big Stu, Ive ...

Trouty

I have lots of goals at the moment for 2010, but the first one that comes to my head is that I would like to win the ken dinnerville road race. So long as my handicap isnt to extreme, i think its certainly a possibility. After all you have to aim high right..? Is it a realistic goal that you want t...

Trouty

Thanks Weiyun, we are all glad that you managed to define Ground Hog Day as none of us really understood what it meant and why we were here at this juncture yet again? Obviously it had nothing to do with you having to have the last word, but for the sake of moving on - let's all agree that you win t...

Trouty

Well, 10+ skinsuit units is a sizable component of any order, so there will be a significant effect on the final construction/pricing on our club order. But as I said, if that's what trackies want, then so be it. Just let me know and I'll delete the skinsuit from my Excel spreadsheet. ....Hmmm some...

Trouty

Where is Northern Adventure?

How many km approx is the Northern Adventure?

Trouty

The club needs unity on apparel orders to achieve the best volume/price leverage that'll benefit the club's finances and all members. If special interest groups are impatient and want to do their own things, then just let me know so that we don't duplicate efforts. I'll let you know next week. What...

Trouty

At the end of the day, lower grades don't stand a chance over 92km. It's ride, ride, ride, get over taken, join/draft the new bunch, get over taken by A bunch and try to hang on and get dropped at the next hammer down section. I remember in the 2008 edition, one of the fellow rider in the bunch was...

Trouty

Jo, "a while" is a relative term and depends on the level of interest and volume at any particular time. If you and other trackies think the Nalini's skinsuits are not up to standard, then please just let me know and I'll drop the skinsuit line and not worry about it in my Excel scenarios...

Trouty

Thanks again for looking into all this :) Based on the Nalini sizing I reckon I will go XS, and can I bump the number up to 14 by requesting a long sleeve one as well? Not too worried about the sizing yet. Wieyun won't put an order with Nalini in for a while as he wants to wait for another big orde...

Trouty

Last year I was on 10 minutes and rode with the flu. I'm guessing you will be on 5 minutes

I am guessing Lindsay submits the handicaps?

Trouty

far out?!!! what a line up of Team DHBC!!! i hope you all realise that im there to beat all of you :D Especially Camilla :D i wish to prove that my Coffee and milkshakes diet is far superior to wine and cheese :) Hate to say it Tim.....Nothing can beat Camilla if she has been out boozing all night ...

Trouty

The question is - is the nothern adventure do-able after racing Goulburn the night before? I am gathering some die hards of Christian and Simon's level could back up for both rides, but for the rest of us mere mortals that are below C grade...getting back late from Goulburn and up early for Sunday ...

Trouty

It's a handicap so age grading isn't relevant. There's one nasty hill on the course and the bunch would push the pace to drop riders, repeated 3 times. So get your climbing legs ready along with an endurance base for 92km at race pace. Hills?...who said hills? Camilla told me there were only down h...

Trouty

Those rides sound great. I will definately be in on some of them

Trouty

Yep - that race report is hilarious!! Not pleasant about the Manky socks though!!

Trouty

Amy x 2 - short and long sleeve (XS or S - depends which supplier) Camilla x 1 (S) - short sleeve Sean Collie x 1 (large) - Long sleeve Ian Deckner x 1 (xlarge) - short sleeve Julio x 1 (Med) short sleeve Victoria x 1 - short sleeve (will post back about size in the next few days) David Lamb - 1 x M...

Trouty

Stuart or myself would be able to do it now and then. Stuart doesn't mind a change from Waterfall - and he just needs to submit the workbook and he is qualified. M7 is a good solid ride with no traffic, but it is just a little boring with views of industrial area. I guess still a change from Waterfa...

Trouty

Ok - I thought of a few: Red Wine and No training Award - has got to go to Camilla Norman, who can still pull out an occasional win over most of us girls - on a high diet of alcohol, late nights and one night training at the Tempe track a month if she is lucky. Actually a serious one I thought I sho...

Trouty

If anyone found a double ended 14/15 spanner with a red rubber handle - it is mine, so let me know. Some how I think that one is lost

Such a shame it wasn't at Tempe - it would have been the best atmosphere ever!

Trouty

The RAW site says it's on at Tempe

Trouty

FINALLY - AND I WILL CLOSE THIS OFF.... NOONE is complaining, we all understand why the process took long initially and appreciate all the efforts you put in . All that is happening is that I am getting prices and eta for 10 skinsuits with a company that already has our artwork. Weiyun - if you are ...

Trouty

I reckon it is ok to get another destribtor, that one took years too long?! But seriously ditch the forum version of doing it, this copy and pasting a list drives me mad. Get people to pm it to you if they want to do it on here, but id say get a form that says size and what you want, and tick boxes...

Trouty

Very classy stuart, using my birthday thread to score points with the wife.

Yep - Stuart is all class!!! He signed off on the Pinarello so how bad can he be?......ooops - sorry I forgot this thread should be all about you.

PS: You're hot too Stuart!

Trouty

I think this is being made way too difficult than it needs to be. I have already sent the email enquiries out so I may as well look at the findings - it's not going to hurt anyone. Hot Designs are in fact already doing a special skin suit order for DHBC (2 skinsuits) as a part of the RAW series priz...

Trouty

I'm in....I am sure I will regret it but I have 5 months to work on it.

Trouty

do you really need a skin suit to race track?

Yes...makes you go faster....well makes some of us go faster, didn't seem to make a difference to me last night. Oh yep - and because they are red - they go twice as fast as a usual skinsuit.

Trouty

I think you have much more than 3 friends !! Everyone always leaves things till the last minute. Failing disaster - I will come down to wish you happy birthday

Trouty

Latest order as of 29/12 Amy x 2 - short and long sleeve (XS or S - depends which supplier) Camilla x 1 (S) - short sleeve Sean Collie x 1 (large) - short sleeve Ian Deckner x 1 (large) - Ian can you confirm? short sleeve Julio x 1 (Med) short sleeve Victoria x 1 - short sleeve (will post back about...

Trouty

You may also want to look at champion systems, http://champ-sys.com.au
The minimum is 10 of any one type, then singles of others. The prices are quite good as well, around $150.

Thanks Christian, I will send them off an email aswell

Trouty

Victoria x 1 - short sleeve (will post back about size in the next few days) Depending on who we go with the sizing may have to be re-submitted again anyway. I will get confirmation from Wieyun in the New Year if he can do a repeat order, and in the meantime I am making inquiries with Hot Designs l...

Trouty

I noticed last night at the Dunc Gray there were still a lot of people that didn't have a skinsuit, due to: a) not getting their order in on time b) didn't think they needed wanted one when we originally placed orders Speaking to most of them, they would definately like one, but of course no one wan...

Trouty

If either of you don't want them I would gladly taken them off your hands.

Nope - we are glad to keep them thanks. Julio - you don't ride track, what do you need a skinsuit for?

Trouty

We only had one S sized skinsuit for sample. So it was a bit harder to choose.

Yep Weiyun, not a dig at the skinsuits, just an observation - that I am short and Amy has skinny arms!!

Trouty

I may be the only one with this issue, the arms on the skin suit aren't tight. I'm probably going to take the arms in at the top, either that or get some bigger arms. Thats what I get for being so aero. Amy has the same issue in the arms. I guess as they are men's skinsuits they are a tad long in t...

Trouty

But given that Lindsay and MikeC only have the exact stock for preorder, all changes will have to come through me at this stage. Hey Wieyun, if there are any womans Medium Jersey's left over - I would like to take the extra. I like the way these ones fit, so rather than wait another year - happy to...

Trouty

I got a whole new bike...although I did receive it before CHristmas day. Better than any diamond ring I'd say....so I guess this girl can't be happier. Pinarello is a girls best friend.

Trouty

meeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy christmas!!! (notice i went to the effort of putting the christ in, not just an x :D) How much money do you have to pay to be a Llewellyn (apart from marrying one) ? Did chuggs bribe his way into the family? Merry Christmas every one - From Trouty a...

Trouty

If you still are interested I will just hold on to it for a while before posting on ebay.

Trouty

Just to set the expectation. No one has ordered two of the same style ie. Short vs long sleeved skinsuits. And there are only a few who ordered L. Yet again, he may not need L given it's a skinsuit. I think Sean will take what he can get as he was really looking forward to this order. If noone has ...

Trouty

Just let me know. Maybe a cheque to the club is the most efficient for all. Spoke with him this morning, and he really only wants the skinsuit given he specifically rides track for us. If any of you large blokes ordered 2 skinsuits and are willing to sell one to Sean until he orders a replacement, ...

Trouty

Sorry, no skinsuit under Sean's name nor any record/recollection of anyone informing me of an order under that name. I further assume he is not Brego (forum ID). Due to the low volume on skinsuits, we didn't order any club stock. Given that no one bought two of the same skinsuit style, I don't like...

Trouty

Does Sean have a forum ID? Otherwise I don't have Sean's real name anywhere in my record even though I recorded everyone who have expressed interest in ordering. So no ideas who he "ordered" from. There are a few orders through fellow members but I've made it clear that the responsible me...

Trouty

- D grade were DQ'd when they tacked onto me after I overtook them after being dropped.

Correction: D grade were never Dq'd. Anthony, Jules, Hugh, Colin and I pretty much raced our own race the whole way through. So technically do we win!!! Yay...Thanks Ian, we will come and connect the Hamper

Trouty

Hey Simon, My only feedback would be that D / E graders know they don't really have a shot at winning, and for us it is more about a good work out. I like the format where there are separate winners for different grades as it does mean you have to push yourself. Having said that...unless you know th...

Trouty

Hi Jo, I'm interested in the crankset. Does anyone know if it'll work with a 10spped shimano ultegra/105 drivechain? After my disaster with the non-functioning TA specitialies chainrings I really can't afford to make another mistake! I will ask Geoff Semon as he is working on bikes all the time so ...

Trouty

Wow! I sense a very hot bike coming through.

Yeah - I'm pretty pleased with it Weiyun. So far it looks great, but I will get my first test ride on the road this morning at slowies.

Trouty

Hi Guys, Anyone interested in Sram red cranks, chainring and bottom bracket. The cranks are 170mm carbon - they look pretty hot, but I couldn't use them on my new bike as I needed shorter cranks. Ive seen them on the web for $350-$400 delivered so I guess I was looking for around $300. Brand new - p...

Trouty

Stuart I will give you your own Handicapp if you come out & race & if there is anyone else of your speed they can join you!!

Does that mean I can race with Stuart's grade? Sounds good to me.

Trouty

As much as I would love to support the club and come to the boxing day Omnium....I'm out, as in addition to all the racing in Dec + the christmas carnivals - I have to save some days aside for family before they start to do a cycling intervention on me. Have fun guys.

Trouty

I have no real control over the slower groups as I can't lead that one by example, so you guys/girls will have to??? Ok ok Simon, you have made me feel guilty enough!! I will just have to make sure some one wakes me up in time for the next morning...then I should be in. As the captain...you better ...

Trouty

I'm very much interested. I want to win that bloody hamper.

Depends how late we get back from Illawarra? WOn't all you boys want to have a sleep in...I am sure I will? If we get enough riders in the low grade, I will try and wake up.

Trouty

I guess I have more experience of riding long distances in budgy smugglers than any of the skeptics here. I think it is an urban myth that they are uncomfy.I once did 160km ride in budgy smugglers without any issues. If they are comfortable for you, go for it....although I guess you are not wanting...

Trouty

this is massive!! Congratulations!! i just heard the news off dad!!

Winning a wheel race is the one of the biggest things you can do on the track!! nice work!!!

It was pretty awesome and a great 2nd by Amy. Alex and Amy's shout on Tuesday night at the Christmas party - woohoo.

Trouty

Thanks also to Michael Clement who came up with the idea and came out to do the filming, and Michael Chidgey for the great artwork. There's no reason we can't do it all outside, if we were to do it again. I guess we could move inside if it were inclement. The beer was great too. So close and so col...

Trouty

I'd like to thank Ian Carswell for doing such a great job of the video and bringing all the audio and video equipment. Without Ian, last night wouldn't of happened. Yeah it was pretty cool. Lucky the music was loud enough to drown out Michael Clements shouting out at us to push harder.....he was sc...

Trouty

I'll be in Melbourne, sorry guys, would have loved to come. Hopefully I will see some of you at Roller Mania.

Trouty

Yeah well done guys. Simon mentioned the pace was fast from the start, must have been amazing just to race with them. Simon looks like an absolute giant next to Mark Renshaw.

Trouty

THat is awesome..... It would have been great to be able to go out and watch, I will check out if it is being televised and will record. Good luck boys.

Trouty

Depends on wot kind of bike it is. I have a shimano 105 which is great for training, but may consider buying a race bike if it is carbon frame dura ace or SRAM red sort of stuff This will look hot when you wear your Pink Budgey Smugglers. Only real men can wear Pink, you will be a head of your time G

Trouty

So is this the best the Social Committee could come up with for the DHBC Xmas party - Christian in a dress? What about if it rains? There's FA room at the track when it's wet .... We will just have to huddle in between the toilets and the canteen, just like the rained out Omniums of past. Now seein...

Trouty

Congratulations every one that did the Clarence St Cup, it sounds like you guys had a great night with some really impressive results.

Trouty

It just looks like we are holding hands.......

Yeah without seeing the expressions on your faces it so looks like you are going for a romantic ride.

Trouty

Awesome video, awesome effort. Not seen a scratch race like that before where the race is constantly up high on the track. Must have been a great experience for you both competing at this level. I especially like the rolling credits - Jessica - Organiser and top chic.

Congratulations

Trouty

Camilla, Amy and I wouldn't be seen dead on a pink bike. I can even turn a blind eye to Purple because that looks cool on Jess....but Pink - Not even for 25% off.

Trouty

I think I may have found a solution to my racing problems though

The most important thing to consider is ..........................that the WHEELS LOOK HOT!! And they look look soo hot.

Trouty

can I seriously get fit in under 2 weeks, without being able to ride hills?

It's track, you don't need to train on hills. Quickest way to get fit is to race...you will be fine and it will be good prep for the Christmas carnivals.

Trouty

Is there a reason no one's entered in this? I just looked up the start list (dreaming of being able to ride) and can only see Chidgey listed.

Hey Cam, Amy and I have entered. We will do all the events in December. Look forward to having the trio back.

Trouty

And at the bottom of the lift was the totally cute in a million ways, phillopino rider

Yeah you can't beat those Philipino's!! But Tim....did you ask her for a date?

Trouty

Jo & I are away that weekend ....

I'm sure Amy will be in and get a definate place for DHBC in there. Unfortunately a bit sad to see Camilla still fighting injury, but we are looking forward to her being ready for the Presidents cup.

Trouty

I reckon this one will be better than the clarence st, hopefully more racing for us. I think there's some state titles linked into it though, so not sure what ill do, I'm probably in, we nowmally do both, though I think there may be a state title the next day too. Yeah Tim...it looks like you may o...

Trouty

I'm pretty pleased with my result finally finishing with the bunch and for me after a day at work that is not a bad effort for a 3rd race. Hey Terry, I think I have ridden Heffron 4 times (twice in E and twice in D) and still not finished with the bunch, so from my perspective your's is a huge effo...

Trouty

is he out of hospital?

Yep...he is at home but moving quite slowly. WHen he got hit his wife was in Melbourne. He managed to just give some one her phone number in between consciousness so she called some of his work people who came to see him at the hospital.

Trouty

Tim (Othy) was hit by a taxi going to work the other day. I will let him tell you more of the gory details, but as usual - the cab driver was at fault. Tim was almost unconscious after the accident. He was pretty smashed up when Mark Hales and myself went to visit. After the cuts bruises and facial ...

Trouty

im really looking forward to this
ill be on the bmc

Is that your new bike, or are you borrowing it?

Trouty

I guess cash payment will work best as its a small amount of money. A nice simple procedure, you hand over cash, I hand over a bidon.

I will take 2. I hopefully will be at track on Wednesday night

Trouty

Great photos Ian!

How bright does the purple on your bike, wheels and helmet come up. It's blinding!!!

Trouty

WOW - Those skins suits actually look quite good. GO IRELAND GO!!

When your done with them, just sew a bit of yellow and you will be back in the Australian colours. Pity they are not in Sydney, would have really liked to check those races out.

Trouty

Bummer I am missing another Omnium, yet another social engagement. I will wash down my sorrows with a lot of french champagne!

Go hard anyway...I'll wish I was there.

Trouty

We are on again this Sun and both Mike and myself are out of ideas this month. So we figured that given the recent Gong ride and Fixie Century, it's time to test everyone's legs again on the traditional Waterfall -> Audley loop. Prayer and sacrifice to the Rain God so that we can have a dry Sun AM....

Trouty

After the usual coffee break and a look around the three of us headed off for the ride back at 11am. After a few stops at the top of climbs and another coffee at Waterfall and again at Brighton (coffee stops being more of an excuse to rest than a needed cafine hit) Actually with a return ride like ...

About time he left that Belgium team. Cadel and I are really close (he signed my book, he knows me by name...I am sure he would recognize me on the street if he saw me again!!...ok maybe not) But he is tops....a bit skinny, but still tops. Anyway - for those interested, here is the article about his...

Trouty

Every year I've ridden to Waterfall and back leaving early and traffic isn't too bad alongside the Gong riders. How was the ride to Waterfall Geoff? I must say there were a lot of people on the road by 6 - 6.15am, but I think the return ride to Waterfall would have been free and clear. I guess ther...

Trouty

Makes a big difference when you leave at 6 or 6.15. You avoid all the crowds. Once we got past Loftus - it was a pretty good run. We didn't get stopped at any of the hills at all. Stu and I were at the gong before 9.15am. Stuart and I headed off home and chose not to go to the pub after as we got th...

A year ago if you told me I was going to ride in the finals of the UCI track world masters championships I would of been over the moon, but tonight I feel dejected, because I made a mistake, rather than been simply out gunned, which would of probably happened later in the race. Hey Mike - Watching ...

Trouty

Very helpful video. For spectators don't get to see all around the course. It is also very helpful for potential riders. I hope this makes it to the videos section as well as the home page for the road. Yep the Video looks great Simon. You are a Denton in the making. Stuart Webmaster is in Perth, b...

Trouty

Hey Suzie,

Stuart and I have a dinner on that weekend so no go for me

. Ride well for the rest of us girls at DHBC

Trouty

Yeah great result guys

Any of you boys entering the UCI Worlds? I am hoping to watch some of the events next week. Wednesday night and Friday night I hear are the scratch and sprints.

Trouty

Congratulations David,...see that ride to Waterfall with me must have did you some good. Excellent result especially in relation to how new you are to cycling.

I might be going Saturday to Waterfall with just Stuart and I, if your interested. I will confirm Friday.

Trouty

That is an amazing story G....I would have stopped at the oyster cuts. Actually...when you thought you were seeing Jelly fish...that would have made me turn around right there!

Congratulations.
