  1. Any brissos interested in an ITT this saturday - Closeburn to Dayboro and back? The first ITT in Le Tour is this saturday too so you can pretend you are Cadel Evans or Mick Rogers 🙂 It's the HPRW club championship ITT but visitors are welcome. Cost is $8.

    Hopefully I will get my new barend shifters in time so I can set up my old bike as a TT rig. What is the etiquette here, if I have a proper TT setup does that mean [censored] booties are essential? 🙂

    There is also a Century/ Half Century Ride on sunday. 160km (100 mile) or 80km bunch ride. Start at Lakeside, to Kilcoy and return. All visitors welcome. This is an easy ride not a race.

    My understanding is that ITT is for Hamilton club members only being
    club champs.

    Nope we've been advised visitors are more than welcome, as they cannot affect the result! 🙂

    Dude, I would love to.

    Unfortunately, the damage I started at Murarrie was finished off at
    Gold Coast on the weekend, half way through the fscking marathon.

    Ouch? Hammies? Could you finish? I got a massive calf cramp on saturday and
    I'm still sore. Still musn't grumble - we could have ended up like poor Eric
    Dekker. Check out the poor bloke in this shot ( a part way down the
    thread)

    Nope, the groin niggle. Nasty, nasty, and it brought on the knee
    niggle. Mum's proud of me for stopping, seems she thought I was an
    obsessive runner...

  8. A time-trial you say.......would it look weird with me jsut riding a normal road bike?

    I doubt it. The last time trial I did (a LONG time ago - gee I'm old!), I was banned from using tri-bars by my coach because I was so unco. I'm glad because at least I think tri-bars look awful.

    Lotte

  10. i would love to join you on the 1/2 century ride on sunday, but i can assure you i am going to be well dehydrated (i.e. extremely hungover.) from the previous nights festivities.

    let us know when the next one is, as i am itching to get out for a long ride on the bike again after last weekends pleasant stint to redcliffe.

    Only if you wear long socks 🙂 Nah, quite a few people just do it with road bars. I have a spare pair of profile bolt on aerobars if you want to borrow them. Fit 26mm & 31.8mm bars. Like these ones:

    Have you got a CA licence? If not you'll need to buy a day licence.

    Adam

  12. My long socks follow me whereever I go.........weird really. CA licence should be in the mail tonight, its been a while since I have ridden on the road....too much time playing on the dirt🙂

    Its a bit of a toss-up this weekend....time-trial or the balmoral crits....how many kms is the time trial?

    about 35km little bit lumpy. Hey you could do both! Or even the points-style
    crit at Nundah. Anyhow come say g'day if you decide to come out. I'm on a
    yellow Giant TCR, grey knicks, white/grey jersey.

    Get out of town! What would give her that impression!? 🙂 Sounded painful,
    here's hoping for a speedy recovery anyway.

    So any a.b.er's race at murarrie? How'd u go?

    Yah. I gave Cat 1 a go for the first time sat.
    Finished with the bunch (which was my only
    goal stepping up a div). Had a blast.

    Hey how did your ITT go?

  17. I raced the crit, what a fantastic location and course. Pity no-one in CAT 1 wants to work in a brake-away......didn't matter, I had my mind just on the prime, which I managed to roll away to take an easy-ish win.

    I was wearing an almost total black outfit, with a white helmet............liked to attack alot for no reason🙄

    You're kidding me right? That course puts me to sleep! Maybe come out to Lakeside next saturday if you want, reverse direction with a big hilltop finish.

    Cat 1 is like that, too many wannabe sprinters. Sometimes a last lap lunge works as they all look at each other to do the chasing 🙂

    Hey that's good Mick, there are some very fast finishers in Cat 1.

    TT was not great, and I have all my excuses ready 🙂 I got a bad cramp last week and strained it, had a really easy week but it cramped again and I had to slow right down and just spin. I also borrowed a front spinergy 4 spoke at the last minute and forgot to check the pressure, it only had 50psi in it. I tried out my TT bars I got on ebay and some bar end shifters. That was good as it not exactly a flat course, only got off the bars for the turnaround, where I realised the tyre was flat, and on one hill -I had a small camelbak on as well which was good.

    Got second in my age group which would have been ok had it not also been second last 🙂

    Bruce Dickson won the elite....he's a machine!

    Yeah, Thanks Adam. They're just still trying to work out what kind of
    machine that's all, must be useful for something! 1st in Elite sounds
    good but the best time of the day was the winner of Masters 4 around 50
    sec less than me. So I have 12 years to get that good and no excuses
    about slowing down as I get older. At least I was 15 sec faster than
    last year so not slowing down yet, but not improving as much as I have
    other years. Being a rec.bicycles.tech reading retrogrouch I would like
    to point out this is on my SLX steel frame with 32 spoke Velocity
    Aerohead wheels. I do have some bolt on TT bars though.

    Bruce.
