Great!!!!!

This will be implemented first Sunday of December.

Bill, Would be great too if the council (if not already), throws its weight and lobbying behind the Dulwich Hill to City Tram/bike/walking corridor proposal. This will be major infrastructure and will serve the cyclists of Ashfield. The fact that it would start 100 metres from my house should not be...

geoff m

That absolutely sucks..... I've read many forums before and often when word gets out, the bike is recovered. So keep trying Simon. I'm not sure if everyone is aware of common household contents insurance which can provide cheap insurance against theft. Under many policies you can specify the bike as...

Ok - Two things I remember on Sunday. Being on a slower and delayed (flat tyre) fast group, having had some steak and red wine with friends the night before, and going into a very strong headwind. As soon as I crossed the Freeway at Loftus at the lights with the fasties, I was gone..... Then 20kms b...

Bill,

Adrian is very much active with Ashbug and knows that area well.

Also Chris R I believe lives in Ashfield/SlumberHill.

geoff m

Thanks - some good feedback. Some of these issues we've thought through and happy to share this. Like the idea of 6.20/6.30/6.40 'pedal-off' time. Average speed is probably closer to what Mike has said above, but let's not make it too scientific - this will largely be governed by the groups (as chan...

Dear all, Huge growth in numbers riding with the club since winter ended has created a rethink about how we should stage departures to cater for different capability levels, and ensure size of bunches are not too big, and we all get back around 9.30 to 9.40am to avoid traffic congestion. It is propo...

geoff m

Wow, that's incredible. More people in one photo and one event than we had in actual members about 2 years ago!!! I headed off from Mick Mazza's on Sunday at 6.15am by myself. Had a great fast ride close to the front of the Gong ride (they happened to be in my way on my normal Sunday training ride!!...

I've seen commissaires enforce the Australian standards rule on helmets at both Heffron Park and opens. The standards for testing are very strict and cost in the tens of thousands per model. That's why only limited models make it thru. Manufacturers are not prepared to invest a fortune in many model...

geoff m

One thing which was around then, when photo was taken.....

Japanese stock market value today was exactly the same then...to be precise, the same value as the year before this photo was taken.

How's that for useless bit of information... Quite amazing really.

geoff m

Unless someone know the way to the M7 Cycleway and think that's worth a training ride. Certainly, going via M5 to get there is feasible, but not recommended for a large group.

Hi, for those unable to participate in the Gong ride, we will be departing half an hour earlier at 6am to miss the worst of the crowd to Waterfall. At Waterfall those wishing, can go (slowly) into RNP, then turn towards Audley at the base unhindered back home. Others not wanting to go into RNP can h...

Some of us were talking about ride for regulars on Sunday who are not doing the Gong. I'm gunna put up a 6.00 start on Forum at Mick Mazzas to Waterfall to beat the worst of the crowds.

No surprises there with Schumacher.

Absolutely - was the first thing which came to mind. No real track history in time trials like some of the other giants he wiped out......

Now we have at least 5 stages from last count, won by fraudulent and deceptive means.

I'll PM you

Guys, Oliver, the owner an operator of that place which contributes to our favourite hour of the week (coffee and Aussie Breakfast at Cafe Bo Bos) is keen to get into a bit of riding.

Thanks Beanzy,

I was actually speaking with Dale yesterday at Heffron and he mentioned the bike rental.

I'm sort of thinking maybe grabbing a bike for a day or two here. I have to manage the rest of the family and their holiday............

Might be best to take pedals with the shoes just in case they're required. Not really sure about anything else. My parents left for Europe this morning, so maybe you'll bump into them somewhere.... Yeah, was speaking with them. They arrive in Paris on our last night there so we might just miss them...

and the good news is for those of us who miss the mark and don't change the lights, with no prospect of other cars triggering it, may proceed through the intersection treating the lights as a Stop Sign (Australian Road Rules)

That wasn't the easiest of D Grade races and if you can keep up, with energy left at the end, with no racing bunch experience, then soon you will hear the words 'welcome to C Grade' from John Buckton.

OK guys,

The above seem to be facts about who they have ridden with previously. Let's leave this at a facts based discussion.

This is a public forum site open to all.

Big decision, but Papal Mass is the go on Sunday so I'm headed for Randwick Racecourse.

I'll request the Pope to give the club a special blessing.

Second on the list is Ride for Life in Centennial Park on Sunday 17/8/08. I'm sure you know what Centennial Park is like (FLAT), though i don't know where the course goes. It's a nice short race, maximum of 36km depending on grade, and D, C, and B are early, so you'll basically still have the whole...

geoff m

Right, I booked in at the 11th hour (actual 22nd hour last night).

I rang the motel today and got a room. If anyone else is thinking of coming, the room takes one more person.

I would like a lift from someone James if available.

Bike riders are like drug addicts they are always peddling.

Good recovery line, Fred!

This is not good. We wish a quick recovery to everyone else involved. Timely reminder of the dangers of cycling we all risk.
