Thanks, it was a good race. Mildura-Coomealla Cycling

two :-)

If you are heading to NE Vic, see if they have a race on:

Nup, I think it was Kevin Tankard that got overall. He
won the ITT. I won the road race. Next time I'll
be going harder in the ITT and I'll carry more water
and not be on the [censored] the night before, and, and.. :-)

Yep, some kind of points system.

As if they could hold my wheel.. sheesh man! ;-)
We were doing TT turns in a bunch of 4-8 riders during
most of the race until I jumped from the bunch of 4 with
50m(?) to go.

"Mildura's "Spring Tour" requires a top effort in the 16km time trial and a placing in the top ten in the 48km handicap road race for any rider to earn the privilege of their name being engraved on the L & V Westcott shield, appropriately adorned with a Campagnolo chain ring."

probably just as well you 'held back' in the ITT. you woulda been worthy of having your name engraved on a shield beside a Campag ring 😄 "

Camspagnolo :-P

Super effort, absolutely well done - when did you decide to go up to Mildura to race though?

I got sick of Melbourne weather last week.. ;-)

I had planned to head up there for the long w/e a
while back. It wasn't until a couple of days before
leaving that I contacted the club to see if there was
a race on. There was. I raced. :-)

I'm going to have such a problem on the GVBR. I woosed out riding this
weekend, because it was too "hot". 24 on Sat, 28 on Sun.

Damn those northern European genes.

So Dutch.....If I join Cycling Aust through the Defence Membership, does
that mean I can race at club races for just the $5 entry fee??

I am pretty keen to have a crack at a crit as although I don't rate myself
as a sprinter, I reckon it would be a lot of fun. Maybe we could tee
something up and I could lead out for ya or something (I have been told that
I punch a reasonably large hole in the wind??)

Ride On,

Gags

Congratulations Hippy!

We'll expect similar results from the Hip led "Miscellaneous Miscreants".

You are sick man! Sick or evil? They're temps in my
place at night! I will admit that racing in 30deg+ heat
is a bit more taxing but there's nothing better than
40degs beating down, the dry air, the tar that will
melt your tyres if you stop, the hallucinations, turning
into a zombie because you ran out of water with 20k
to home but refused to fill a bottle because you're a
stubborn [censored], knowing you are sweating more than
you could possibly 'drink' in a whole day, searching
for houses with over-shooting sprinklers to ride under,
drinking a 1.25L bottle of softdrink before even making
the supermarket checkout...

hehehe.. wishful thinking mate! wishful thinking..
my big, bad legs turn into dead weights when I
have to make them go 'up'. The hipsta doesn't
travel too well over dirt either. Hopefully the
others will carry me.. right bici-soiler? right? :-)

43.6kph, yeah. But even yours-truly sat on ~38kph (taking
it easy for the road race I might add) and I wasn't running a
disc-wheel, TT machine with aerobars...
