Marshaling This Saturday

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:10:40 +1000

Hi all.

If you were not going to race on Saturday due to illness/sleepless nights watching the tour/haven't been training etc but would be happy to be there and take my place [if I have it right that Bomo Vet and Fitness are on this week] and marshal could you please either post a reply or contact me on 0419777963 that would be great.

I miss a bit of racing, so if this could work for somebody and allow me to race it would be great. Thought i could at least ask and see. Either way see you on Saturday.

2 Man TT

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:42:59 +1000

So lads, after all the wailing and gnashing of teeth before the start, how did it go??
Sorry I was unable to be there to watch the fun, which brings me to the point. Would one of you who rode or spectated be able to pen the register report for the race. Pretty PLEASE. You can email me an outline if you wish and I will polish it up for the paper. Must receive it by tonight though. Also, advance notice for next weekend, I will not be at the club race or the State ITT, so volunteer scribes needed for those two events as well. Good luck those entered for state titles

Col de la Madeleine

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:59:54 +1000

Alyssa and I had the privilege of climbing Col de la Madeleine today, keeping an eye out for fellow Nowra Velo Club members, namely Mike & Scott Thompson and Phil Rice (is anyone else with them from the club?).
Heard some Aussies ahead at one stage and spotted a tall guy with a shaved bald head and sweat band with helmet off due to the heat. Unfortunately he didn't respond to my loud cries of PHIL RICE, but I'm still not convinced it wasn't him despite having spoken to him on the way past. Alyssa also saw a Larry Wicks body double in Aussie colours. We're wondering how many other club members have sent their twins to the tour for us to run into.
Didn't stay at the summit to wait for the race with a thousand others but descended back to La Chambre to the comfort of a bar with food, drink and big tv screen (and toilet facilities), a big improvement on the average roadside position.
The descent was a great rollercoaster ride and the hospitality in the little town 9km from the finish was exceptional. When we heard the police sirens and helicopters we stood at the doorway to watch the riders pass in the flesh but with the stage being so intense it was great to see it develop on the tv.
Shame about Cadel's arm but I was more interested in Sammy Sanchez making up time on the descent but unfortunately not quite catching Contador and Schleck.
Early night tonight with a view to doing Galibier in the morning before breakfast and Alpe d'Huez before lunch. May see the race in the afternoon if still breathing? i.e. won't be seeing the race.
Won't bore you with our plans for the Pyrenees but keep looking out for the Nowra shirts on the tv outside the bars in the lovely little towns that the tour passes through.
Enjoying summertime in France but still looking forward to getting back to our lovely climbs on the beautiful south coast of NSW.
A bientot.
