I headed out today for a nice 140+ KM cycle. Took a little time, to get my engine fired up and didn't think that much of it - the winner bar seemed to help and I also had a few swigs from a bottle of…Continue

Cycling with Pegasus, Shaved my Legs, Climbed a 17% hill this week

Posted on November 28, 2010 at 18:23 6 Comments

Sitting here a week ago, I would of not of thought I'd have such an

exciting week of cycling. Its a week that will stay in my mind for a

while.



Thursday I had the fortune through 602nds.com to participate in the

Pegasus Training camp at Noosa Springs. Participated in the training

ride with the cycling pros - Garmin stats here (click Metric top right).



Great coffee as well at Noosa Heads.…

Couldn't cycle much in Adelaide with all that rain... Now I'm sunburnt ;(

Posted on September 4, 2010 at 16:49 7 Comments

After a couple of days of travel, leaving some time also for my knee to heal, I finally got to the Gold Coast for a cycle with Derek last wednesday. A couple of stops the previous days at Coffs Harbor and Byron Bay were also enjoyable



At the gold coast, we had a great cycle out to springbrock. On the return trip we descended some 17% gradient descents. Upon returning to Broadbeach we headed along the esplanade, stopped at Robbie McEwan's cafe for a latte and admired the wildlife. It… Continue

Checkers Hill - my first attempt

Posted on August 7, 2010 at 17:00 10 Comments

It was one of those cold Adelaide mornings where I just didn't want to get out of bed. Finally, I manned up and got out. I was going to go find Checkers Hill and climb it for the first time. Numerous cyclists are talking about it, as it is an obstacle of the next Tour Down Under Challenge Ride.



I found Checkers Hill Rd, with the help of my trusty iPhone and its GPS. I headed along, admiring the scenery, thinking this isn't going to be that hard. However, I had a niggling suspicion that… Continue

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that I'd worn out another rear tire. Its a habit I seem to have. Luckily I had a new tire ready and quickly replaced it. I thought I'd change the front as well (was looking rather cut up), as a few long rides were approaching, and it had been on since just after the 2010 Tour Down Under Challenge Ride.



I toke the front wheel off, was struggling a little and then it came free. I heard something bouncing on the floor. It was the front speed sensor. I'd… Continue

Hi Nick, good to see you yesterday, yeahh I do need a photo, better take one soon. Perhaps we can catch up for a ride one weekend (Sundays are generally race days but there are occasional Saturdays free when kids sport doesn't clash).

Hey... nice playlist. Icehouse/ Flowers is probably my favourite record. I've really only just rediscovered it.

Hi, Welcome to Adelaide Cyclists.

I/ we hope you get something out of this community. We're a mixed bag of bike nuts. You can post to the forums, maintain a blog, post pics and videos (or embed from YouTube) and join or create a niche group.

You can also style your own personal page the way you want it and add widgets.
Cheers
Angus
