Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Hi all - spoke to some members on Waterfall ride on Sunday who don't use Facebook. Just updating the route for Fri and confirming I will post here if it's off due to weather. Plan is to ride out over SHB, Military Rd, along Pittwater Rd, up McCarrs Ck Rd out to West Head then down to McCarrs Ck Rd a...

no worries Neil. Thanks for updating. To everybody else DHBC now has a Facebook page for rides etc.

The link to this ride is here >> https://www.facebook.com/events/1849699711768563/

I think it's members only, unlike this forum.

This ride now also posted on the all new DHBC Facebook members group page. Please respond there.

Traditional Easter Friday West Head adventure ride is on again this year. C28 pace, no drop. 125k's.

Rollout 06:00 at the square so back by about 13:30. Will stop for coffee and food somewhere, depending on chosen route.
Hopefully we'll get reasonable size bunch together.

OK peeps we're going direct. If you want to hookup with a more casual version of Sat Hills then cnr Constitution & Canterbury at 05:50 and cnr Stanmote & Enmore at ~06:00

Sat 17th Feb 2018: Are there any DHBC riders out there that want to do a Sat C25/C28 pace hills ride? Same time, same place but start a B Bunch from the roll out in Marrickville. If no takers Jo & will roll direct from home at 05:45 and go down New Canterbury from cnr Constitution to Enmore and ...

East Hills ride is on at 06:00 at the square - C28ish pace. Probs two bunches after the Bronte climb. See ya there.

I know nobody actually uses this forum much anymore but just wanted to know if anybody left on here is planning a C28 pace ride early on Invasion day - Fri 26th? We're thinking about East Hills? 06:00 or 06:30?

The haters are out in force on that day so need to be back early.

B Bunch tomorrow 6th Jan. normal time. Pity we don't have an app to publicise this ...

Trouty & I now doing Waterfall.

Trouty & I are doing RNP Audley in C28 or slower pace at 06:00 from the square tomorrow Sun 31st Dec, weather dependant. Not expecting any takers but will put it out there.

Looks like Trouty & I are going to a real NYE party so I won't be riding NYD.
Nothing stopping you though

Anybody keen to organise this just post back.

or get on Inner West Bunch Rides on Team App (download it today) and msg me.

My experience and feedback from others shows that this ride has become faster & faster and seems to have been abandoned by the Slowies step-up riders and C25-C28 riders. So, are there DHBC riders out there that want to do a Sat C25/C28 pace hills ride? Same time, same place but start a B Bunch f...

Wed 27th Trouty & I are doing Watson's out 'n back C28 pace. Start 06:00 cnr New Canterbury & Constitution Rd Dulwich Hill; Then down New Canterbury so about 06:10 at cnr Enmore Rd and 06:15 on Wilson St. Out to Watsons Bay and then reverse it. All welcome.

This Sunday 24th Dec 2017 Trouty & I will ride out with C28's and then do a RNP Waterfall in if anybody is interested. No drop. Com eon down so I can draft you.

Anybody interested in a No Coal Seam Gas / No Santos jersey final order being placed tomorrow. About $100

New Years Day 2018 East Hills C28 pace no drop ride - 07:00 am at the square. Ride out to Centennial via the Slowies / Thur Hills Route taking in Wilson St Newtown / Refern and entering the park at the horse gates. Always a great day to ride as there's zero traffic. Food and coffee somewhere on the ...

I've just read the club newsletter and frankly I'm shocked that there would even be the suggestion from the committee of changing the start time for the Waterfall ride.
It's Sunday and we're not all insomniacs ... a little sleep-in is surely a good thing.

Fabulous stuff Marc.

Sounds like a great ride, other than Paul's off. Hope for a fast recovery.

And I'm hoping the powers that be support member initiated improvements to ride organisation. Facilitation is the name of the game.

Hi - we've got a low end stationary trainer we don't need and thought the club might like it for the track?

I tried posting this up on the DHBC Facebook account, as you asked, but it wouldn't let me. Not sure why.

Possibly you've been excluded from posting.

I'm a maybe. So no add to list.
BTW there will very soon be a much better way to organise these rides. Stay tuned. *Team App*

This Sunday 29th Oct 2017 Trouty & I will ride out with C28's and then do a RNP Waterfall in if anybody is interested.

Christian organised those. I'm not sure there's any left - it was a long time ago.

Msg stays in the outbox until it's read by the recipient.

Maybe the President still has them at his place. When I ceased being the kit wrangler in April I dropped a bag of skinsuits at his place. I'd try emailing the club dulwichhillbc@gmail.com and asking the question and / or post on the Facebook page.

Hi Olaf. There were some left and I believe they were taken to Two Monkeys cycling where the rest of the club kit is. I couldn't tell you what sizes they are. Maybe give them a call or drop in there.

Thur 7th Sep - Jo & I are doing normal early hills. Probably. Or maybe sleeping. Anyway, get on down to Vanilla cycles if you want a 6:00 start.

Thur 24th Aug: Jo & I (and Cameron) are doing the Vanilla Shop Ride. Starts at 06:00 from in front of the shop. Local hills.

Only 4 starters today. had a great ride though Into the CBD by 8:00.

Later hills is GO this week the 17th Aug.

Earlwood maybe?

- yes, absolutely - edited ....

I'm delaying the start of this till Thur 17th as I'm on a course this week that I had forgotten about. However this week on the 10th Trouty & I will be sampling the Vanilla Cycles (Marrickville) shop ride that takes in 8 local hills around the 'ville and Earlwood - 25k's, 400m of climbing; start...

Hello DHBCers. I love the Thur hills ride but it starts too early for me. I'm proposing to start a 06:00 hills ride from Thur 10th Aug at a C28 pace. I may not be there every week but will use this thread to post whether I'm going. But you don't need me to go cycling! We may skip Bellevue as a time ...

But .. if you ride out with the 28's you get a tow for the first 40k's

Great info as usual Dougie. Trouty & I are there for the week staying in town somewhere. I'll be commissioning a special #nocsg #stopSantos jersey especially for the trip. Orders taken later this year

Thanks Todd that sounds perfect. The plan was to go the park anyway and then venture out to do the Hills loop. I'll be in touch closer to the day as we haven't firmed up the dates yet.

I'm doing a ride swap with a friend who's going to take me mountain biking if I take her road biking. She's 168cm (5' 6") and I'd like to borrow a road bike one Sat in August. If anybody has one they can lend for a day let me know.

After just having ridden the potholed, no shoulder POS roads that are Buckets Way and Thunderbolts Way on a motorbike I tips my hat to you both. I was riding Thunderbolts and thought to myself 'no one would ever ride this on a bicycle'. Talk about steep! And the road surface was 100% patching in som...

Ok. I'll put it out tomorrow.

Sold. I'm in Dulwich Hill. I can leave them on the front porch if you want? DM for the address.

So back in 2007 when Jo and I had just started cycling TWE wheels sold Joanne a set of wheels for $1200. They were really very, very average. Somebody told me they though the components were worth about $300. I thought that might be an exaggeration. Anyway. TWE sponsor racing. The rear rim split wit...

Are the bibs the current ones (Cuore) or the older Champion Systems ones?

No responses. We'll be there when we're there.

So following discussions at #rideForMike 30 caps will now be ordered. The design is not finalised and Cuore are on holidays till 26th April. I'll post up a photo when I have the design mockups.

A new kit order was placed at the beginning of April and delivery is expected in the 2nd week of May, including larger sizes and a lots of stock of wind vests in time for winter. In the meantime there is women's kit stock and limited sizes of men's. Lots of socks though! Stay tuned - there will be a...

Weather permitting Trouty & I are going to do a drive-ride West Head and Akuna Bay on Easter Fri 14th. When: Ready to ride in Narrabeen at 7:30am it's a 70k loop with a ride time of about 3:30, including stops. Where: 18 Ocean St Narrabeen, near the Driftwood Cafe (just off Pittwater Rd south en...

Trouty & I will be doing this again this year but they've added 30k's on to the shorter route which is annoying. Right at my distance limit now at 120k's.

We'll be staying the weekend and doing lunch at Biota dining on the Sat.

No caps ordered. Over to you Neil.

I'll just leave this here:
NSW Police Minister Troy Grant fined for using phone in car, says he didn't know it was illegal.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-21/n ... ar/8372962

Personally I don't wear caps while riding as they're usually too tight (head too fat) and give me headaches - I'm a bandanna man :-) We don't have to get them from Cuore. I'm happy for Neil or whoever to outsource to a different supplier but you'll have to deal with taking orders and payments. With ...

This needs to be an event on the FB page too.

Hi all - as the club kit wrangler I have been asked about caps before. Our kit supplier, Cuore, now does do caps and bandannas. I've not seen a sample of these but I'll talk to Drew. The DHBC ones I currently have are from Champion Systems with red / white stripes on the top and DHBC under the brim....

Bought some from Pam. My 2 cents.

They are fine for use on the bike to see the Garmin and probably to change a flat. The Dual Eyewear are better by 50% + when it comes to seeing a phone or in the car to see the analogue dials.

Good one Craig. If you have Facebook Christine you can post there too.

Hi Christine - the club doesn't run MTB rides but there are some active MTB riders in the club, most notably Tarryn & Andreas; probably less than there was though as the club used to have people doing 24 hour races etc.

Good luck in finding a riding partner

Neil - your friend is a club member I trust?

No idea on stock levels - we don't have the luxury of real time stock levels. Calling probably won't help. You'd need to get down there.

$180 a piece. Deposit direct into club account stating its for a Skinsuit and your Name. Pickup from me

I can bring to Sun ride or I also do Wed & Thur mornings most weeks. Or from my place in Dulwich Hill.

As Troy Grant is confirmed as continuing as NSW Police Minister the police are now targeting cyclists not riding in the badly designed Liverpool St cycleway. The light phasing at cnr Liverpool and Pitt is so bad most riders stay in the road in Liverpool and then merge into the cycleway after Pitt St...

I attempted to ride Middies 2 weeks ago and a Fasties rider was in the bunch having a ride with a mate. He said it was more a middies pace than 28's. The front riders were rotating quickly and it was pretty quick up Kingsway. I'm in no means a 28's rider yet (but hopefully soon) but I agree with Ma...

Spotted Michael Chidgey out at the top of Bobbin at Nth Turra last Sunday going in the opposite direction to Jo & I

Given it's a holiday Trouty & I are going to do east Hills at 6:30 instead of 5:30. B Bunch pace.

If nobodies going to join we'll bypass the square so can you indicate interest.

and we've decided not to ride this year. Enjoy.

No. I have them. And still no pricing. Stay tuned.

Also best to book your accom now if you plan on going as it dries up real fast.

Report it to Newtown police. Take the photos and video on a usb or CD

Can I share the link to the club FB page?

Note that the Thur Hills route means we ride to Centennial via Enmore Rd, Wilson St and Redfern.

Only difference is we're not doing the corkscrew.

Nice shots.

And only 12 months later, the skinsuits are here! But not yet at Velofix. If anybody who ordered wants theirs before Wed please DM me here.

Jo we already have one. It's Jo's. One of the base pieces already died and it's very, very loud. I prefer the stick mixer as it leaves some lumps.

Following the great tradition there will be a New Years Day East Hills Ride in 2017. Time: 07:00 at the square Route: the usual Thursday hills route Pace: mild to cruisers28 After: anywhere we can find that's open in Marrickville. All welcome. No need for a list. Trouty and I will be there, unless i...

So. What was it actually like? From on-line accounts it was pretty brutal?

And more! This time from Philip Gomes via SBS Cycling Central

Cadel speaks but will the NSW government listen?

"At the weekend couple of news reports combined to paint a terrible picture of cycling in Australia's global city, Sydney, and it wasn't pretty".

New piece from writer and avid rider Steven Herrick - who's just completed a 4,200k, 42,000m of climbing ride with his wife from Scotland to Corsica via Spain. Fewer people are cycling in Sydney – the NSW government must be pleased And yes, you'd have to think that the LNP government are popping the...

But of course Duncan Gay continues to peddle the lie that the huge increase in fines was all about 'safety', not criminalising cycling and reducing cycling numbers - an outcome already achieved. $1.3 million in cycle fines in first months of new laws dwarf penalties for motorists "Cyclists in N...

Yes I was reading that this morning mike, my question is was these levels taking at the same time of the year

So if reported cycling levels are below 2013/14 levels, its because of 'the time of the year' ?

And now we see the Liberal / National government plans bearing fruit. The National Party ministers for Roads (Duncan Gay) and Police (Troy Grant) working hand in hand have succeeded in lowering Cycling numbers in Sydney, just as planned. After police predictably fined just four motorists for close p...

Note this Sunday 6th Nov 2016 the Gong Ride is on so the club RNP ride is cancelled.

There's been a setback with the delivery time frame of the skinsuit order.

Now expected in early Dec. Apologies.

This Sun 15th Oct Trouty & I are doing RNP at the usual 06:00 start time, C28's pace. Audley in. Be there.

Neil, there are masses of socks in both colours. Go buy lots of them

$20 a pair.

Order due to land Oct 25th 2016.

Hi Joel

there is no men's stock at all. Order due to arrive end Oct.

This Sun 9th Oct Trouty & I are doing RNP at the usual 06:00 start time, C28's pace. Waterfall in unless convinced otherwise.

Anyone keen?

Pre all rides I have a double-shot coffee and a 'smoothy', the contents of which change depending on what we have available. At the moment that's water, sustogen, raw oats and a banana blended with a stick mixer. On Waterfall I'd then have some gel blocks and a energy bar of some sort. RNP I'd take ...

Any standard C28's riding RNP tomorrow? Or anyone want to ride out with the C28's and do a Waterfall in?

I have several pairs of Dual Eyewear SL2 Pro sunnies (one dark lenses, one clear for early mornings) that have served me well but they are now $95 and the nose bridge wears out and they don't sell replacement parts. http://www.wildfiresports.com.au/dual-eyewear-sl2-pro-glasses I'll give these a try ...

The order has been placed. approx 6 weeks till delivery.

There are Small bibs in stock but no jerseys. And there is one race cut Med jersey in stock.

At last the skinsuit order was placed this week. Expect them in October. Pickup will be from Velofix.

Price is TBC.
