Dulwich Hill spotted

[humanbeing]

John Mason in the usual situation-flying past me as we go up a hill.
Climbing out of Bronte he was with a bunch, then I dropped my chain at Tamarama and that was the last I saw of them.
Have a great ride,

Spotted a DHBC person at the corner of Marion St and Tebbutt St, Leichhardt this morning at about 6.45am. He had sunglasses and could not recognise him. He was coming from the Haberfield side of Marion.

[JoTheBuilder]

[Peter T]

Four times Lizanne.

But who's counting?!

Was a great misty morning to be out. I didn't see the Secret TT riders either.

[Lizanne]

you should ask Michelle. you weren't going that slow

[humanbeing]

I didn't see the Secret TT riders either.

I forgot that you didn't see us Peter.
Peter

[marc2131]

As per Lizanne's Facebook entry "SOPTTED"; Andrew B has since unravelled the confusion.
He claims this is not a corrupted version of 'spotted' but an abbreviation of 'Seen: Older Persons Time Trialling".

[Lizanne]

...Even Drafting

[JoTheBuilder]

A veritable feast this morning...
1. Adrian Emilsen spotted at the bottom of Bronte climb.
2. Peter Bownes spotted climbing Military Rd on his secret training.
3. Jo T who let me draft her for the entire ride this morning. Thanks Jo!

[humanbeing]

Adrian Emilsen on Old South Head Rd at Vaucluse headed to Watson Bay.
Have a great ride,

[rhys]

Christian, just after turning left going downhill towards Lapa this morning. I was also in the away jersey.

[marc2131]

Geoff M on Better Homes and Gardens, now on Channel 7 (7.40pm).

[timothy_clifford]

This morning about 7:45am turning onto Bestic St alongside Muddy Creek. Sorry, didn't recognise you.

[Lizanne]

Rhys at coming back from LaPa.

[jonboy]

Peter Bownes, Marc R and Pete(?) standing around in Centennial Park this morning for two laps.

Also spotted Mark Lacey standing around in CP...

[marc2131]

Must be our faster, more hard working twins.
Peter B, Alister and I were having an unhealthy very fried breakfast while watching the ducks and discussing the pros of downtube shifters and clipped pedals.

Must have been a very quick chat then

[rhys]

Mick Mazza drove past us this morning, honking his horn as usual! He must have worn that thing out this morning, there were cyclists everywhere.

[Camilla]

Had a feast of my own a few days back: Adrian followed by Michelle B jogging and Trevor Dean of Science (once I hit uni), all within 4 mins. Made me feel like I lived in my own little country town called Sydney. In all reality, I see Adrian out and about more often than not.

Perhaps he's worthy of his own personal spotted thread? We could get him a red and white striped scarf and all! I'm sure Eleri could whip that up for him in a spare moment. Along with matching socks.

Camilla.

Lizanne & Mark L at Centennial Park in the fog.

Nope, no rain this morning.
Makes me wish I'd got up earlier and done some km's

[Tonyoc]

Derek w lighting up Burwood road @ belfield @ 5:52 am this morning!
Spotted! Even had time for a lil chat!

[Dougie]

Colin Williamson on Parra Rd in the traffic dodging buses and cars.
He was wearing a bright yellow rain jacket also known as the Cloak of Invisibility

[James Rogers]

A quick conversation with John H on the bicycle superhighway (Wilson St) this morning - at a good tempo on his single speed.

[humanbeing]

Lizanne in Centennial having a chat whilst secret time trial training was being undertaken.

Adrian E doing the City Of Sydney Bikewise thing at the Redfern end of Wilson St.
Thanks for the coffee and the sage bike advice.
Have a great ride,

[marc2131]

Gi, driving his Subaru and me dawdling back from Tempe, back to the MRC.

[Dougie]

Sunday lunch time an the corner of old Canterbury and railway unknown male rider DHBC jersey and Canadian national champion knicks as leadout for a chap in the yellow jersey. Lizanne who is your fellow countryman?

[jermxx]

Lizanne this morning turning onto Oxford St off Bourke.

[timyone]

I saw a lad in a DHBC jersey and Canada knicks in the back streets of Brighton le sands the other day

[marc2131]

Mike C at a Five Dock gym giving a spin class for a large group of students from Burwood girls High School. My daughter said after the class he rode off on an "old bicycle like you dad". DHBC through and through. A quick check of my FB friends confirmed my suspicions.

LOL, the girl that was super fast must of be your daughter

[marc2131]

Helena said she and her friend could barely walk after the hour long session. I'll let her know you thought she was fast - she'll like that.

[Dougie]

Adrian and Lizanne this morning. As I wasn't in club kit my "hellos" appeared to be treated with suspicion. Then again having grown a Furry in preparation for unleashing on Saturday I am not surprised there was little recognition.

[humanbeing]

A veritable smorgasbord of DHBC Team Time Triallers @ Centennial Park this morning.
Dougie, Cam, Adam, Mike C, Paul?, John M & Marc R.
Dougie seemed to have unleashed a bit too much furry and was seen struggling to get it back in the cage for a couple of laps.
Have a great ride, bon chance and may the steel framed time Triallers look the best.
Peter

[Dougie]

Spotted Alistair Simington of the Valley Wheelers TTT team sneaking in a few more kms in Denison Rd this morning

Oops - I get peoples names confused sometimes, sorry.

[timyone]

about 4 different riders on their way to the waterfall ride this morning, going down Kingsford Rd, off Salisburry Rd in Newtown, while I was walking to work.

[marc2131]

Mike C spotted with his 'Spin Instructor/Torturer of high school girls' hat at a Five Dock gym.
With my daughter, Helena from year 8. Mike takes on a class from Burwood Girls High School on a weekly basis.

[mikesbytes]

And a bit afterwards on Cooks River

[Dougie]

Both out of Uniform!

Marc - junior membership required instantly
Greg - We need to sort you out

[JoTheBuilder]

Spotted Colin doing secret training in CP today. Apparently he was with Nick (according to Strava) but I didn't see you sorry Nick!

Then bumped into Mark Lacey on Oxford St. Had a chat about Stuart O'Grady until the lights went green. Tried to hang on to his wheel to no avail. He has clearly recovered better than me from the road race on Sunday.

[marc2131]

Not sure but I think I spotted Charles P riding down Church St, Canterbury at about 5.45pm in semi light.

[Colin Campbell]

Was spotted in CP this morning but didn't spot the spotter (JTB)!

[charles]

Well spotted Mark! - especially considering the dark and my lack of club gear.

Was my first commute since back from Euro - good to be on a bike again.

[mikesbytes]

Then bumped into Mark Lacey on Oxford St

Mark was on his way to have breakfast with me, you should of joined

[JoTheBuilder]

Alas. Work beckoned.

Spotted Cameron sprinting up Illawarra road in the cold while I was coasting down it with a motor, a heater and the radio playing.

[mikesbytes]

Marc just rode past Market City

[marc2131]

Marc just rode past Market City

Cool.

OK, 'fess up, who's been getting getting dirty?

Eleri on shitville express at ABC2 just now..

[Phil D]

Yup, I saw Sh*tsville Express last night and almost fell off my chair! http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/series/12632

Nice one Eleri!

[timyone]

for some reason watching that show (I just watched the linked episode), really annoys me. Though I did find it quite informative, watching the conversations about how 'they' should live etc (conversations involving the four young people who the show is about, giving their opinions on people they don't know), drives me mad! I will try and watch the rest of the series though.

[humanbeing]

Adrian, Phil & Stuart on the MC Hills ride this morning. I tagged along from Vaucluse to Bondi Junction.
Have a great ride,

The transport episode has Fiona "aka Marrickville bike bus". I was looking for her as I often see her going the other way on Thursday mornings

[Eleri]

Thanks. It was fun and I'm glad they used the line about capital gains tax. The look on the face of the young Lib was priceless - at the time and in the actual show.

But as one of my friends said "you had one big chance to get your name pronounced correctly and you failed." Ah well.

[AndrewBurns]

Ugh watching the transport one now, so mad at the young lib guy saying that bike riding is unproductive time, can't wait until my tax dollars go towards funding his first heart attack...

[Strawburger]

Tim, on the commute home. The discussion was so interesting I forgot to stop for my interval training

Amy on the way out to La Pa this morning. We were taking different routes so we parted company at Mascot.

[GregPankhurst]

Just caught up with Shitsville on iView. Nice work Eleri

Little bit OT what's your perspective on Negative Gearing? Was a little bit surprised it wasn't raised as an issue, but it may not be a factor

[Dougie]

Eleri and Cameron this morning on New Canterbury Rd, dodging traffic on the return leg from LaPa (I assume). Cam was artfully hiding from the wind and taking full advantage of Eleri's slipstream.

[Eleri]

And I didn't see you, but we did see Simon Sharwood in his car and briefly exchanged words (of the pleasant variety).

Cameron seeking payback from Sunday's ride back from West Head where I sucked wheel big time.

[humanbeing]

Eleri, Michelle, Pia & Peter T(official photographer) in Centennial Park after the filming for Cycling Central.

[JoTheBuilder]

And Jo and Jo T and Paulette...

And we saw Colin and Nick getting in some hill training.

[Colin Campbell]

Eleri, Jo, Paulette and a full flock of photographed feminine DHBCers at the Paddington Gate in CP.

Beautiful morning - hope Nick and I didn't spoil the shot!

Also on Vic "Tim L" on a birthday drive

[Philip]

It was that "oh, I know you" look, a primal recognition, before the brain and mouth had time to engage. (truth is the brain and mouth are rarely engaged and almost never at the same time)

Andrew M at 5.10am turning into Cleveland from City Rd as I took my partner to the salt mines.
4 members of the NRS, I think John and Alex were there, heading into Galston Gorge as we headed out towards Bobbin Head at about 10am.
Have a great ride and enjoy the exhibition Andrew,

Noel and Phil G setting a cracking pace in the opposite direction at Akuna Bay. What a glorious day to do the bay.

A veritable feast this morning:

- Amy Vesty and Mark Lacey on Old South Head Road doing Eastern Suburbs Hills;
- Colin and Nick in CP;
- Amy Vesty and Mark Lacey again in CP;
- And Christian spotted me (though I did not spot him) on Military Rd.

Great morning to ride!

[Colin Campbell]

A trilogy of spotteds:
1. Mikesbytes near Redfern Station, turning left toward the City
2. Jo in CP (at least I heard her call out)
3. James Rogers turning into Enmore Rd as I turned off it.

Beautiful mist in CP.

[mikesbytes]

- And Christian spotted me....

But did he notice the new hair style?

1. Mikesbytes near Redfern Station, turning left toward the City

Yeh off to the gym. Nice raincoat Colin, which one is it?

Sportful "Hot Pack" - ideal for keeping the older rider warm until the circulation kicks in!

[Dougie]

Amy Vesty this morning on Coward St heading toward LaPa. With another rider whom I couldn't see. I was in a taxi heading home from LaPa with ANOTHER bloody flat (no time to change it the Bride had to be at work). What's the damn go with all these flats. new tyres, tyre liners, no glass. Cause for deeper inspection.

[JoTheBuilder]

Pinch flats Dougie?
