Just a quick shout out of congratulations for our new Masters lady on the track Melanie Gibson. With only 1 season of Raw under her belt, she had never entered any other races little own State or National titles before, but had no fear. She entered any race she could just to get the experience regar...

If anyone knows of an entry level track bike some one wants to sell, for a friend of mine wanting to get into track, please pm me

Thanks Trouty

A friend of mine is selling a Kinetic Road trainer for $90 on triathalon Market place or I can put you in touch with him. I dont usually spruke on here for other peeps, but that is a great deal for a Kurt Kinetic trainer. They retail for about $499. If I didnt have one, I would buy it myself. Best r...

Trouty

As Amy said, and she has been to see many experts. Core, core, and more core. Weak core, makes the rest of the attached areas work harder.

Trouty

Nooooo, not the Merino top? How dare they, surely they could have manoeuvred you out of it without cutting? Lol. Glad your recovery has been faster than expected, Michele P said you were doing much better. We will visit soon.

Trouty

Ive been told I pasted the wrong list. Here is the right one I think? Shifiting up to A grade from B with the other confused riders Junior U13 Junior U15 (may ride with seniors) A Grade (fasties) Michael Clement (gold licence) Simon Berry (gold licence) Alex Chubb (gold licence) Peter Campbell (gold...

Big friendly Vegan: I won't tell LACC we worked together in the wheel race, even tho the plan failed any way.......we tried

.

Trouty

I just got my bike serviced, so I will be investigating "Chaingate" incase there was any chance of tampering by the Men of Steel or Carbon Cranks. The lengths these desperate men will go to for Glory.

Hilarious race report though.

Trouty

RACE REPORT WOMAN I wasn’t going to post up a race report, but I thought the time the Woman’s team posted this year didn’t really tell the full story. We placed about 13th from about 18 teams, but there were so many wins for us – apart from beating the Carbon Cranks by 2 minutes, but I won’t rub tha...

Trouty

I've just worked it out; you, Trouty, and Lizanne are doing this: http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5054735442_8123.jpg There's only 2 short people in that picture so I can see where your calculation skills come from. lizannes now with Stg, but you've just declared war with all the DHBC ...

Trouty

Love reading your race reports Dougy, always entertaining. All I can say is you've still got stuff in that suitcase of courage...well done.

Trouty

Unfortunately for me that egg shaped lump on my shin expanded quickly when I got home, eventually exploding. Sadly my leg will need to be amputated below the knee. But the good news is that the doctor says I should still be ok to ride one legged. The other really good news is that the bike is not d...

Trouty

That's the least we can do for you Crafty. We should include a big thanks to you too Crafty.

Trouty

I will have achieved just over 7,000km by 31st of December. This is a 47.35% increase on last year's total of 4,886Km. I am petty happy with that. 2014 I hope to clock 10,000km just like the adults No wonder you were on the front in the wind for so long on Sunday. Well done dougy, a huge improvemen...

Trouty

Great carnival.

I think I left without my white cap and ray ban sunglasses. Did anyone pick them up?

How could you leave without your Rabans? Sacrilege. Good to see you JBCow. When will we see you on the bike again?

Trouty

What a great Carnival Tempe put on tonight. Great work from the volunteers and Eleri for organising at short notice - You can't beat Tempe track for a great atmosphere. All the boys did well....but a special mention to all the girls riding the carnival, DHBC seemed to get a place or top 5 in most ra...

Trouty

Well done all of you peeps....to the workhorses on the front, and to Jo who once upon a time - couldn't ride a hill, but things are changing. I did hear some thing today though that surprised me re the ride. I heard none of the riders would have been covered by Insurance as it was an unsanctioned r...

Trouty

Perfect day for a Rapha Ride. Hope our guys (and girls Jo) had fun

Trouty

That's right! I thought I recognised her. She's the Captain of a tandem? Yes she is the able body rider for a visually impaired woman. She came past me so fast in a state road time trial I thought she was a car. She is usually an enduro but I guess one of those girls that can do any thing. Oh.. And...

Trouty

Nice work Lizanne! Congratulations. Race report? Blow by blow description? I mean - a lot can happen in 250m!! Hey Eleri, the bronze medalist might look familiar to you. Kerry knowler. She is wmas4, and she came 2nd in the elite sprint. I find these masters woman that can tough it out with the elit...

Trouty

Well done Jacqui. You sound like you enjoyed it...you will be hooked soon and your fitness will leap to another level once you have some races to aim for, thus a reason to train. Keep it up, love your report.

Trouty

Congratulation's Pete, awesome effort.

The winner looks like a bit of a burglar in the grade to me! Where's the race report Petey.

Trouty

Great reports, even yours BFV. Best you get some fence start practice next year.

Trouty

Hey President

Your age category was tough, the times were faster in the top 10 Wmas5 than in Wmas4, but I think You would have done it. 4 hours 5 mins was the 10th fastest wmas5 woman.

Trouty

I hate to say it... Eleri, given Mark and Christian just got a UCI medal.....you've just been bloked!

I also found out if I'd I drafted Skinner the whole way, her time would have got me within the top 10 in my category. A UCI medal ...maybe next year.

So proud of all the DHBC peeps.

Trouty

Nice work as DS Trouty. I note that Keith Winsor is in a bakery in Lorne eating guilt free.

I thinking Christian is smiling as he beat Keith overall and in the climb. We think it was the performance enhancing pasta Stuey and Christian cooked last night. Woohoo.

Trouty

Perfect weather for the Gran Fondo Cup, so as a spectator I will let them tell their stories but here is my form guide: Christian Lees - odds on favourite After giving last years riders a hard time saying it's a 'ride' not a race, he has realised there is a start line, a finish line and a chip...he ...

Trouty

So who won? I'm in Lorne.

Trouty

Landowners is an awesome track and LACC run a great series. Good luck DHBC.

Trouty

Go hard Eleri, I know you will do us proud. And if by the time you come back you are sick of cycling....I will have the Baum. Then again, it may not fit, we all know I'm taller

Trouty

I thought it was great! Both to have the discussion and the opportunity to be a part of it. We have such a great story to tell in DHBC and I hadn't really realised that until I got the opportunity to tell it a few times lately. Thanks everyone for your stories - I hope I did justice to them and inc...

Trouty

A real pleasure to watch! Very well done, and I'm still smiling at the mention of "Saturday Slowies" on national TV.

...and Pete, we saw you on tv riding at the back of the bunch with the woman. Well done!

Trouty

I can't wait for the last night of RAW, I will be watching from the sidelines with my cast, feeling very disappointed i cant race the IT. Thanks LACC and big friendly vegan for providing the funniest forum posts which have kept me updated. Good luck to everyone, but of course a bit more luck for DHBC.

Trouty

I think the general thing to mention which I didn't when SBS asked us some questions is that the biggest thing stopping woman from riding has usually been in the past, lack of woman riders or riders at that beginners level. When I joined I almost gave up as being dropped by the elite or strong maste...

Trouty

Thanks also to Scott. I went along to the morning session last Sunday week. I volunteered out of curiosity as I've dropped a couple of kgs last few months and have been feeling lean and riding well as I head to what I would call racing weight for me, around 68kg. It was quite enlightening. In Scott...

Trouty

What about how our Dhbc men were your domestiques for the alpine classic. I bet no other clubs have had men supporting a woman in a race.

Trouty

Apart from the blurb on the website about our history, does anyone have more detail for me to study up on?

What about the resident Magpie?

Trouty

Well done you hard core riders. Kudos just for just making the decision to ride on Sunday, whilst us not so hard core riders took refuge in a restaurant. Great race reports and stellar efforts from every one. I must say after reading these reports, and also the Ken Dinnerville reports, I'm pretty su...

Trouty

And does that make you Froomie Jo? Able to master all the disciplines and still come home strong when it mattered?

LOL - that's clever Jo - thanks. I know you resisted calling me "Quintana" because you knew I wasn't short enough!!

Trouty

I'm quite impressed with Craig Weller's teams time! Wellers team time of just over 1.05 was impressive. I was there to see them finish and they gave it there all. Wellers face was covered in sweat and saliva so they left nothing in the tank. I wondered if they used the Ginsana? Awesome effort from ...

Trouty

How great was this weekend. Awesome to see so many Dhbc teams enter, and no matter what position they came, they all seemed to have huge smiles on their faces for completing the painful task at hand. A big collection of the DHBC crew stayed back to support and see the final DHBC riders finish. Thank...

Trouty

Good luck DHBC, even to those growing number of Male Teams that are challenging the woman. We look forward to a fierce but friendly competition, and are keen to see what the dawdlers come up with next. Moustaches again or Wigs ? See you all Saturday and we are ready for Team Stu, Adam, Cam and Dougy...

Hi Folks, Our DHBC Irishman Conner is still working in the mines and has sold his van where he used to store his bike till he goes back to Ireland. I said I would keep it at my house till I found a trusted person who has a bigger house. Any trusted volunteers that can keep his bike till he gets back...

Trouty

Just wanted to say thanks to all the 28 riders today for a great, safe and enjoyable ride. After a months hiatus I was nervous in a bunch with my wrists but I felt really safe, with enjoyable and consistent pacing from the riders on the front. i was probably the worst pacer, but was quickly told whe...

Trouty

Kylie, that's great to hear! Trouty, we have been getting between 12 and 15 riders every week when it's not raining, and everyone is consistent and motivated! That's fantastic Jess, well done. My motivation is at zero at the mo, so sounds like your girls can teach me a thing or 2. Seriously 15 girl...

Trouty

Unbelievable turnout....who would have known we had so many girls on the track, and in winter. Go DHBC

Trouty

All I can say is what a great club and a great effort to people who contributed and helped...and Kudos to Alex Christian. See you on the road soon Panky.

Trouty

I like the friendly rivalry that we have. It adds another dimension to the fun.
Keep it up BFG and Co!

Although I have to learn how to do those moving files like Big Friendly Vegan - he's got a few up on all of us so far, they are all pretty funny!!

Trouty

I saw Stelio's at TAL offices today, and we gave each other that Declaration of War look. All friendly of course.....but deep down I know Stelios is out for blood. Can't wait to for the outcome of the final Italian Pursuit. Was there talk of seeing Stelio's in a dress if they lose, in a previous pos...

Big friendly vegan, that's GOLD! I'll give you that one, although the head on that guy with the beard looks very much like Rhys from Dhbc?

Keep up the video skills and record the rare win, whilst you've got it.

Why is the monkey holding a salt grinder between his back legs?

.............Because the Thigh Master wasn't available. By the way Camilla, take a closer look, I think it's a she

Trouty

Good luck every one, I'm out due to injury and a bit dodgy driving a car at the mo. But smash it up!!! Not literally of course

Trouty

The ride sounded Awesome, but you confirmed the run and swim are not for me.

Well done on unleashing the Furry. That quote has become a cult following, maybe we should add this to our t-shirt design.

Congrats Jo, and good on you Christian for being support crew.

Trouty

Yes, we're trying to get some more people to come along; the more people to play with, the better. Yes, we'll loan them bikes if they want them, but we always do that. Hell, we'd even loan one of you guys a bike if you came out to Lidcombe without one. Paying people's entry fees? Nah, we can't affo...

Trouty

Good luck to at DHBC'rs doing Cairns Half this weekend, not sure who else other than Skinner. Pete OSullivan? Go hard, go fast, do us cyclist proud. Dougie can give you tips on digging into that bag of courage. Smash it!

Trouty

14 weeks until we have to worry about the final race, I might have retired from cycling by then

Your too young to retire!

Trouty

I love that last clause. I did hear from an inside secret contact that Stelios was already out to procure numbers, offering to pay entry fees for people to show up, organising bikes, and (although not confirmed) I heard they have been busy training at Altitude at Tenereef with Wiggo. Let's hope thei...

Trouty

I'm still thinking we give the design task to the Cycology designer with a brief that incorporates much of the above. If we are going to ditch the letters in circles thing, that's a pretty big decision. Not thinking this is the right time ... I agree here. We can do replicas of our shirts Any where...

Trouty

a good one to leave off might be "there is a light that never goes out" by The Smiths

Any thing by the Smiths is banned.

Trouty

Actually Jo, I love Kelly Clarkson. So it's a thumbs up from me. Which one?

It's got to be "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". I am really showing my age as I don't recognise half these songs. Making the compilation Cd will might be a challenge but I will find a way.

Trouty

I resisted putting Kelly Clarkson knowing the DhBC Time Trial Team will disown me. 1. I got a Feeling - black eyed peas - Trouty 2. Titanium - Sia and David Guetta 3. Bad Influence - P!nk 4. Life During War Time - Talking Heads (I know I'm showing my age, I resisted Dylan) 5. Stone Free - Jimi Hendr...

Trouty

I was trying to do a cycling sound track for my ipod, and thought about what would be the best songs to get you warmed up and motivated? Interested in what other people like. So Add your favourite song, and hope it makes the final compilation, you could be win a cd! Add your songs Ok first song on t...

Trouty

I was looking forward to the "Ken Dinner Bill" race report and this one didnt disappoint. Gold Dougie! And well done today on a great effort. That's a tough race.

Trouty

I reckon you can't beat a good stationery trainer. A trainer with a good road feel. Kinetic trainer is the best.

Trouty

Race Herron

Not the best advice for beginners. That's a pretty technical course to be learning cornering at speed mixing it with the men.

Trouty

Remember to bring something to warm up with

Are you suggesting Stuart that people warm up via Camilla?

Trouty

I think I'd like to try this out too. As at 31 Dec I will be 46 yrs old, so I would hope to join a 150+ team. A couple of things: 1. I've never raced before so would need to upgrade my licence. I note that I would need to have done this and entered into some other race before 20 May to qualify. [64...

Trouty

Great race reports, and congratulations every one. Great to see DHBC jerseys on show with a vengeance. It sounded very painful to me.....so you all deserve a sleep I. This week.

Trouty

The rules say that the three youngest riders ages must add to 150 years or older. I am 44. That does put some pressure on you and mark to age prematurely. Don't be fooled - the 150+ masters are any easier, they are still hard core anyway. They all seem to have reached that part of life where cost i...

Trouty

No. I don't own a vintage bike of any sort. I'll be riding my carbon Pinny with carbon cranks - we're an all carbon masters team ... but the name was suggested by Michele P at last years event; it may be a play on words. BTW, is it better to enter the 150+ group? Has that got slower teams than the ...

Trouty

'Spotted'!

Good luck to the B2Bers and especially Eleri and her super Domestiques

Trouty

I believe the Masters team is now Jo, Eleri, Pia and myself due to injuries... I don't think the boys have a hope. Let the sledging begin. Forget the thoughts of a Gold Medal or Podium finish, the NsW Time Trial is an opportunity for some friendly inter-club competition so let the Games and challen...

Trouty

We could make a fasties + now but contrary to popular belief its not always fun smashing yourself every Sunday. I live by that philosophy about not smashing yourself every Sunday, but I do respect those that do. Fasties by nature of their name and the fact it is the highest level, should GO FAST, s...

Trouty

Whether I was tired from yesterday or I just didn't have it, I found today's B grade race pretty tough for B grade. I guess entering in races above your level makes you stronger, thats what i keep telling myself. I enjoyed it when I finished regardless, thank god I didn't have to do 2 laps! The top ...

Trouty

The reason we changed the rotation for C25s and C28s was because rotating off the front as the fasties do was clearly unsafe. People coming off the front especially in the C25s weren't sufficiently skilled to roll off safely. We often had people on the wrong side of the centre line and getting stuc...

On the cycling NSW website, but it won't let you enter till after 9am Tuesday. Stand by your computer.

Trouty

Hi Guys,

Not that I ever enter this (and I won't be), but I know it is popular with the DHBC folk so please remember to get in early - entries open at 9am sharp and they are expected to fill up really quick.
DON'T MISS OUT and good luck to those that do get in.

Trouty

I have a love hate relationship with Heffron. I've never done that well there but it keeps drawing me back. It would be good to remove some of the manhole covers and other 'features' but I personally like the layout. Yeah it was a manhole that the girl in front swerved which caused me to swerve and...

Trouty

Jo is only saying that as she hasn't even dared look at her elbow. And you should see the leather bar tape .. it's totally shredded. IMO Heffron is a dangerous circuit due to the horrible tight corners, made worse by a "cheese grater" surface. As there's only open's there I'd never race a...

Trouty

I did remember whyi don't race Heffron, I have always hated that track. i think they realised after today, there were just too many riders on the track, especially when a mens grade comes past you at a corner. it's narrow and the corners are technical, and in that grade no one takes the corners slow...

Trouty

I will need to eat!

Trouty

Never mind Maddy, gives you A more time to train harder so we can lead you out for a win.

Catch you soon

Trouty

Can someone invite Margaret McLoughlin to the Sydney Classic Bicycle Show?
I dont have her contact details now but believe Jo T spoke to her back in Dec 2011.

I have pm you her number

Trouty

Did the break into your garage? That's a bummer.

Trouty

You won't be seeing me gluing tubulars... Why do you think I go out with Christian?

.....good to know or does christian only do this for "loved ones"? i need a Christian to glue my tyres next time I need them. Stuart does all other bike maintenence but tyre gluing is excluded

Trouty

Go Pia! Awesome.

Awesome from me too Pia and Maddy......great to have you racing.

Not that I am a fan of Pink Bikes, but I saw this one and thought it was pretty crazy. Check out the Scatto bars and disc wheels which are pink reflective.
