May the weather be with you. Love from Rome.

Camilla

Sounds great! I was hoping to be there this year so am a tiny bit jealous. Although I REALLY do not have the right to be. Rome is fantastic! Hope you all have a great time. I'll be keeping an eye on you through social media (while eating pizza).

Camilla

thanks Dave! Dougie will be very glad to hear it.

Camilla

HOLD THE DATE!!!

The DHBC Christmas party will be on December Saturday 12 this year. The finer details are still being nutted out, so watch this space.

Camilla

Last chance to put your name on the list! Or indeed take it off. I'm confirming names & numbers with the Bundanoon Hotel today. I'll ride to Bowral with you all for breakfast then go back & get the car & all our bags & meet you on the road - hopefully just the other side of Picton to...

Camilla

teaspoon of concrete with breakfast.

Camilla

Bistro is booked for 7pm.

Don't forget to pack your butt cream! Toff is still unsure of his weekend commitments so we may be without the communal minty fresh wax stick.

Paul, are you in?

Camilla

Hi Paul, sorry, we're actually pretty strict about that one rule: you need to be fixed. That said, surely someone could lend you a fixie? It would be great if you could come.

Camilla

Hope you're all having fun! Sort of wish I went with you now.

Camilla

I'm going to be driving Eleri's car so if anyone wants to drop a bag around at mine to take down let me know. And of course I can bring all the bags back too. I'm currently scouting for someone to share the support driving with, so if there's anyone out there who only feels up to riding a portion of...

Camilla

Hello, for those of you visiting this thread from the newsletter, it included a couple of mistakes I'd just like to clarify: 1. this is the 9th edition 2. we did the Picton route last year & will do it again this year, by popular demand 3. Breakfast will be in Bowral See the top post for full de...

Hold onto your caps! It's DHBC Fixie Century time of year!!! Sunday October 18 2015 will see the 9th edition of this infamous ride: an imperial century (161kms) from Bundanoon to the Tempe Velodrome (then onto the German Club for a well earned beer or 3). We'll either go via Wollongong or take the P...

Hello Valley Wheelers,

My friend John is down-sizing and looking to sell/give away a few items that might interest you. Note especially the 27” wheels with Campagnolo record hubs. See the thread under the 'for Sale' tab:

Camilla

I'm out. Not feeling 100%. You can have the spot in Ben's car Paul.

Camilla

Ute from Dulwich Hill sounds very tempting. Although the cold has come on a treat in the past 2 hours. I'll confirm on Thursday if I'm coming or not - feel free to give the seat away in the meantime though! I can always catch the train.

Camilla

I'm tempted by the 150 Wing it West too. Assuming I don't come down with the cold that has been threatening me the last week!

How are people getting out there?

Camilla

Tim, Cam & Phil - looks like it's the 4 of us for the River Ride tomorrow. I'm excited! I've printed up maps & cue sheets for all.

Camilla

River ride May 9 Details: http://audax.org.au/public/index.php?op ... dit&id=357 Looks like we're all driving/training it to the start now. List: 150km 1. Camilla - will be driving to the start with Cameron 2. Tim - will be catching a train to the start 3. Phil D - will be driving to the start ...

Camilla

sounds good to me Phil. 5.05 at the Enmore for the River Ride.

I was just going to switch this to a new thread as per Timich's suggestion but see that you've updated the title Paul. Thanks.

Although is it too confusing to have multiple rides intertwined?

Camilla

Or we should just rename this thread to Audax NSW?
if we were to ride out, from where and what time would we depart?

Camilla

I'd probably look to borrow Ted's car (2 bike racks). Or convince Eleri to come with her Prius (3 racks). I'd be ok riding out there, but not home. Too much traffic. So reversing your plan would also be an option for me. 150 sounds good. I like to go at a strolling pace while audaxing and enjoy the ...

Camilla

Either, but I've not done a long ride for a while and am not sure I can be bothered with the lights bizzo. That said, it would only take me 5 minutes to work out the lights and it's not like the 50km extension looks particularly onerous so I could easily be swayed!

Camilla

I'm thinking of doing the River Ride next Saturday:

Camilla

THREE WOMAN'S TEAMS!!!! We shouldn't self assign though. About a month out we can each do an ITT around the park to see where we're all at, and then we can practice in those teams. My 2 cents worth. For those without gold licenses (ahem, including me) an upgrade to gold at a reduced price can be mad...

Camilla

I'm actually going to be in the country this year Eleri, so count me in. I may even train a little beforehand...

I reckon we could run TWO women's teams this year! That'll give the boys something to worry about. Imagine the horror of being beaten by the Ladies B team

.

Camilla

I thought you didn't like to ride more that 60 km Jo!!! Or hills. Nice work.

Camilla

I've roped Ted in to help. Put him down for set up and then he can marshal or help at the start/finish line. He's not racing.

Camilla

I can help out at the start-finish line again as well as doing set up if you like James. I'm not racing so won't have to duck off at any point. And I'm pretty handy with a clip board.

Camilla

Ted and I are coming in 2016! If anyone is booking a house let us know. I'm not really sure the best way to go about it.

Camilla

I wonder if I can move house & still do the Rapha 500? Probably can't make the 21st Mike, on those grounds. But forge ahead without me.

Which reminds me Jo - don't throw those boxes out! Do you want me to come get them?

Camilla

Great ride everyone! Thanks for directing Mike, and for pacing me up the hill Anthony (even if you didn't mean to).

I owe you a coffee Tim!

Camilla

Yeah - put in on FB Stuart!

Camilla

We really need to rally some more people for this event!

Camilla

You're in Drew. I'll be at Saturday Slowies myself tomorrow, so please say hi. I'm the one on the Eddie Mercxk pink & purple fixie. Mike & I decided to postpone the ride partly because of the anticipated heatwave but also because it seemed like a bad weekend for so many people. The whole Ide...

Camilla

Ok. Executive decision:

Meet at 6am for Marrickville -> Windsor -> Springwood 100k. Then beer and a view!

If it gets too hot we can always bail at Windsor. I'm not adverse to throwing myself in a river either.

Camilla

Oh, hang on - I just saw that Stuart can't make it. What does everyone else think?

Camilla

The newsletter reminded me that we've got an adventure ride happening on Sunday!

We need to decide which route we're doing. Mike, are you able to be ride leader either way (i.e. be in charge of directions)?

Stuart, did you want to come? In which case we could do the shorter route if you preferred.

Camilla

Sounds good to me. Let's just make sure it's not boat day that day.

Camilla

I like your thinking Anthony! We've got all summer...

Camilla

We have somewhere fairly flash and you're invited to our Australia Day party.

Camilla

Aaach! Jealous. One year the planets will align and I'll make it to the Fitzie...

Camilla

Whose up for an Adventure Ride this Spring? It's been a while. I'd like to revisit Mike's Windsor ride (minus my fixie). But there are lots of other possibilities. Maybe a 3 gorges for those who've not done it before? In essence, I'd like to see this endeavour re-invigorated. It's lots of fun & ...

Camilla

A great ride! I do love cruising the Southern Highlands. We even got to see bull & wombat interaction! Very impressed at our lack of mechanicals, biologicals & tantrums (although I came very close at the end). Thanks everyone for the excellent company. And especially to Christian for looking...

Camilla

Lindsay and I are getting the 1.07 from Wolli Creek

Camilla

Nooooooo! Track work between Liverpool station & Goulburn. I just had a thoroughly unhelpful conversation with a woman at Sydney Trains, whose best advice was to discuss it with the bus marshalls. Who will no doubt tell us exactly where to go. And not is a good way. I've tried calling Liverpool ...

Camilla

Hi all,

It looks like we're going the the Campbelltown route! And you're on directions Mike!

Toff is officially out. He has a nephew's christening.

I've booked the bistro for 7pm & Ye Olde Bike Shoppe for breakfast at 8.30 (which is when they open).

Excitement!

Camilla

I'm neutral Mike!

Camilla

Well I think that's a majority! Well at least a vocal minority. Let's do it! Picton & old Razor back it is! Besides, I do need to stock up on 12-tribes blessed lemon butter & goat soap. Mike, you happy to lead the way through Sydney? I'm too crap to memorize such things and am easily distrac...

Camilla

OK Mike. Fir enough. I think we can take this to the vote. I'll prepare a crib for both and get back to everyone.

Actually, can you prepare the Camden route Mike? I'm way too crap.

Camilla

This is going to be nice and intimate! Speaking with Toff & Lindsay on the weekend, they both professed a preference for the Costal route, so we might go back to that. i.e. via Wollongong (with a walk of shame up Stanwell Park hill). Thanks Mike for looking into a viable route into Sydney from C...

Camilla

Great pics Karzie!

Camilla

Michele.

just saying.

Camilla

It IS a lot of fun Blah!

I haven't confirmed numbers with the hotel yet so you should be ok.

Camilla

Hello Fixie Centurians! Only 2 weeks to go and I'll have to confirm numbers in the hotel, bistro & breakfast café soon. So if anyone else is considering coming please put your name on the list. I should point out that the single beds are for a the most part in a twin room, so if you want to pick...

Camilla

Just back from a wee scouting mission with Eleri to see how Old Razorback is doing. The answer is just fine! Even after all this rain the surface is in decent shape. It's only a couple of kms and the gradient never rakes up past something unmanageable to the average human on a fixie. We chatted the ...

Camilla

So sad Mike L, you'll be missed! Poor timing indeed. Can the planets not be re-aligned so that you can join us? I know there are a lot more takers out there for this ever-so-awesome event. Please do sign up sooner rather than later, simply for logistics. And BTW Blake, you're absolutely in. I simply...

Camilla

Mike - the route that is linked to in the original post.

Blake - I'd suggest getting out on your fixie on the road a little before tackling the century. I often do Saturday Slowies on mine.

Camilla

Those steel rims can get quite a burn on. But it's Razorback this year, not Macquarie Pass! And props to you John for being the first bloke to sign up.

Camilla

That's ok Eleri, James will eat your pork knuckle.

Camilla

Keeper of the Flame bikes?

Can I do it fixed and do we get to eat steak while supping on Rosso Antico? Whatever that is - just something that I recall always being behind the bar at my local Black Stump in the 1980s.

Camilla

And here's the list to cut & paste. Please indicate if you wish to stay at the Bundanoon Hotel, and if you have a bed fellow doing the ride too! (There are a few double rooms.)

1. Camilla (Bundanoon Hotel - single bed)

Camilla

It's on again, the annual Fixie Century! Yippee! Sunday October 19 161 kms of exquisite fixed pain, from Bundanoon Hotel to Tempe Velodrome 2014 marks the 8th edition of this event. After 3 years of going via Wollongong, we've decided to mix it up and take the old Picton route again: http://www.mapm...

Camilla

The more I think about this, the more tempted I am.... I'll certainly sign up for the 250 again. What's an additional Buffalo!

Camilla

I've been holding off, because of how pubic Anthony's situation got, but I'm hoping that now it's just us? Love and hugs Anthony P-B, and many virtual flowers. I've been thinking of you a lot these last few weeks.

Start a list! If the people who've indicated interest (or anyone else) jump on, and you make it to four, then all good. Otherwise Sam & Dylan will hook you up with some people. It's worth asking around at the cafe too - lots of people won't know about it.

1.Robert

Camilla

I've got one team organized (& in fact just booked accommodation) so that's at least 2 DHBC teams from the look of it, maybe even 3. If anyone wants to come but can't make a team I'm sure Sam & Dylan would happily hook you up with some people.

Camilla

You and Mark could have had matching bikes to go with your matching jerseys Amy!

Camilla

Dang! I wish I'd seen this a week ago!!!!

Camilla

ALL OVER ABC news just now, at Evandale on the Pennys. Special mention to T-Bone, Stretch & Al.

Camilla

Oooh! A buzz. I'm looking to stay Saturday night. I really will look at accommodation now.

Camilla

oh. I see. Well, get back on the horse that threw you and all that!

Camilla

Sorry, I meant Berry. Jo - toughen up! I'm sure that was years ago any how.

Camilla

What Eleri said Stuart. Beechworth is fantastic but way too far for me for a weekend. I have a rule that if the drive is longer than the ride then it's not acceptable (plane trips, on the other hand, are a totally separate kettle of fish). And Michele - do it! I'm going to look into Saturday accommo...

I'm thinking of doing this: http://www.rideandseek.com/events/berry It's run by my mates from Ride & Seek, Who Ted & I toured with in Spain & France, so I know it will be impeccable, plus a lot of fun. I thought it might be a good chance for those of you looking for a bit more of a chall...

Camilla

We thought it would be fun to add up all the kms DHBCers did on the big day. I'll start the ball rolling by listing our household:

Eleri: 250
Mark L: 250
Amy: 200
Adam: 200
Ted: 200
Adrian: 200
Camilla: 200

running total: 1500km

And all PBs too! Well done us!

Hello,
can I get some confirmation on the Christmas Eve Gorges ride please? Is it happening? I'm basically in but would like some firm details.

thanks,
Camilla

Camilla

It was a really great day. I think it can only grow and grow from here. Really nice to see people coming from all over the state, plus our own DHBC members coming down. I was actually struck by how many members popped by (& volunteered all day) who don't actually have kids of their own and just ...

Fantastic ride report Ben! Thanks! So many gems. Definitely a ride to be repeated, day or night. And there I was feeling all smug that I'd made the right choice not to go :( Cowan.

Camilla

Race report, from those who didn't have to worry about their eyelashes?

If anyone was wondering, Eleri, Michele P and I and had a delightful and almost dry evening at the Henson Park Hotel. Various soft-hearted types did not join us.

Camilla

Peter T says his in too. I don't THINK he was being sarcastic?

Camilla

A little big for me. But I'm sure you'll have other takers. Europa alley trash! What could be better.

Camilla

Tempting indeed! What size is it?

Camilla

great work everyone! Sounds like fun. Definitely sounds like an adventure ride. Maybe the non-fixie century?

Happy to be a token girl if any new teams want to take up the challenge next year

Camilla

Only 7 riders! Maybe we should make it a split event and the rest of us can do it in mid October, which just happens to coincide with when I'll be back...

Have fun champions! It's going to be a quick one. I'll be thinking of you as I ride from Spain to France.

Aawh. Can't make it this year

Mind you, I'll be riding the Pyranees that day so not a bad second place

Have fun y'all!

Camilla

Yipee! Not long now. Ted and I are currently riding along the Danube. About 500m climbing over 600km and lots of tempting beer gardens. Not exactly the best training for Ventoux!

Camilla

Go the Girls!!! I'll be in Bulgaria thinking of you and sending speedy safe vibes. May organize to text one of you mid race and I'll expect a progress report.
