Tour Down Under 2019 For my son Will, the TDU is without doubt the absolute highlight of his year. I haven’t been able to keep up with him for a couple of years now. In 2018 he headed off into the Adelaide Hills chasing the Pros by himself. This coming year he’s planning his own itinerary that doesn...

Dougie

Nice work John. It's been 1 lap too long for a few years now.....

Dougie

Aimee,
As John noted we have riders at 6am on Sundays. They will regather at the top of each hill so no one is dropped from the ride. Please ensure that you have two bidons, some food and a spare tube, pump and levers.
enjoy your ride.

Cheers

Tour Down Under 2018 January 13 – 21 2018 Well it’s on like Donkey Kong once again. With Richie Porte’s disastrous crash at the Tour de France following what was without a doubt his best build up, will he use the TDU yet again as the springboard for the 2018 season? 2018 is the 20th anniversary of ...

Great effort John.

Dougie

No, sorry Paul. My kids usually completely trash their gear before i toss it in the bin. See Brett at Cycle World on Concord Rd Concord. DHBC members get 10% off. He has a good range of junior stuff or can get it in. They do a great deal of business with Junior Road and Track riders. Cheers Dougie

The C28's was quite large on Sunday. I was in this bunch. I was on the front from Marrickville to Dolls Point and kept the pace in check with no one dropped. The group needed slowing on the Kingsway a little which i did. There were some varying levels of skills within the bunch which were handled by...

Hi Clive
There is generally quite a large contingent that participates. Best to watch the forum, facebook page and also chat with riders who ride not only the weekend rides but also the week day rides.

HI All It is the Magpie season. Many will have seen the "hilarious" Youtube videos of Magpies attacking cyclists. Those of you who ride track will be very well accustomed to the attacks made by the resident Magpie at Tempe Velodrome. What isn't a laughing matter is falling off as a result ...

Adam, We're aiming to come down on the Wednesday evening flight and leave on the Sunday. However I'll see closer to November how life is. I have booked the BUPA ride for William and I anyway.

The "SHLOBS", Summer Hill Lads (and Lasses) On Bikes has been around for a long time. They aren't a Cycling NSW /CA affiliated Club but they do have pedigree similar to that of the "Giro Latte" and the "Balmain Boys". The SHLOBS wear a predominantly white jersey with bl...

Hi All

I have been asked to post this ride on our forum. For those looking for a charity cause ride this might be for you. It's World Vision's version of the famous 40 hour famine for cyclists.

Don't do back of Falls. Just go down to Trap yard Gap and back. 46KM return. I saw a few people adding BOF to that and regretting it the next day.

Sim,
Mt Hotham, the second "Peak" is 30km and 1,300 metres of climbing alone. if you can't commit to the training now do one of the one's later in the year or keep your powder dry for 2017.

Dougie

Sim, Ride your bike along way and up hill. In all seriousness, those rides as mentioned by others with a view to completing a couple of 200km plus rides by mid February. Also drop as much weight as you can. you can get about 1.5% improvement in performance for every KG you loose. Take it from me, by...

Dougie

Hi Simon. He can borrow mine. I think its a 54. it has pedigree also as I believe a Junior National Championship has been won on it in the past. You'll need to adjust the rollout as William rode it for a bit. I do have some sprockets.

Outstanding Team. Well done Wheelers!

Great Job Rohan!

I bought the Swisstop Greens for my Alu rims online and they were out of stock so I was "upgraded" to the Yellow. I didn't like the Yellow on the Alu rims at all.

Dougie

Stephie, I have one of these also. The pump head has two female receivers, one side is the Presta and the other the schrader. If that doesn't work unscrew the collar/cap of the schrader side and check to see if the insert has been flipped over.

Good luck.

Cheers Dougie

Are you doing the 142km option Dougie?

Yes, William and I both doing the full distance this year.
