Roger Bird had entered the Ultimate Torture test, Individual, Yes, ON HIS OWN, 12 hours on a bike, ………. Gasp. Trish was also on hand to feed, shade and tend to The Bird for 12 hours (horrible thought)<br /><br />We had grabbed a tent from Jenko (thanks Jenko) to protect us from the elements, Sun as it was for the day.<br /><br />Tactics were Rob first, he probably had the best chance of surviving the early onslaught by the big boys, as staying with the front bunch was going to mean win or second.<br /><br />About 70 starters hit the road and the casualties were quick to fall off the back with 42 -45 average speed around the initial laps. Each time the com[pleted a lap, Rob was smacking off turns at thefront, looking like it was fun, Roger was just going round and round, and round…… but still with the front bunch.<br /><br />We had decided to give two laps warning to the next rider so as to be ready for the changeover or transition. Problem with the transition was, we had to remove the timing chip from the current rider, run the chip over to the next rider, clip it on QUICKLY, then chase down the bunch which was still moving at 42kph, do you know how far ahead they get in 20 seconds or so? Anyway, Roger didn’t have to worry about transition, just keep going, round and round and ………… still with the main bunch, which by the way was now down to less than 20 or so.<br /><br />I managed to screw my body to the limit, got back on and stayed there for the next 80 mins or so. Emmo next, same drum, try to smash of the front coming into the transition area (yep, so easy when the buch is still doing 40+++), give your buddy a couple of seconds on the bunch, chase your arse off to catch, then rest for a while, keep going, Emmo’s safely onto the bunch again.<br /><br />All this time and we are still side by side with the OTHER Mixed Oldies team from the Hunter Valley, Newrad Gateshead team, but they had some dirty tricks to come.<br /><br />Jody next, excellent transition, Emmo leads the bunch in, quick change, Jodys out chasing the bunch, back on, what a girl! Even hung on through the sharp corners with the buch still clocking 40+ ks, did her hour plus and here we go again. Oops, forgot about Roger, still going round and round …….. Trish was getting very dizzy by this stage, or was she asleep in the tent?<br /><br />By this stage we were coming up to near the 6 hour mark and Roger was showing signs of distress, talking shit, looking like shit, drooling like shit, but still going round and round ….. He WAS the ONLY VET still left in the main group and was ONLY about 6 laps in front of the next Solo Vet, so he decided to stop for …..?? food, grumble and a pee poor Trish! Back out, straight onto the main bunch but a lap down, still going round and round at 40+ ks, what a Bird!<br /><br />Now, by about 5:30, the other Team was getting a bit nervy about our close presence to the front, so they decided to play dirty, wait for Jody to do her turn then break off the front and hold a small lead, just enough to stop Rob getting back onto the bunch again and that was where they got their break, but wait there’s more dirty tricks! Don’t let your female team rider do her second turn, just keep the boys riding. <br />We were proud of our efforts, we rode in the true spirit of fairness and came up with the Silver Stae medal and proud of all our efforts. By the way, the Female rider managed to appear for the Gold Medal presentation.<br /><br />Roger, oops, forgot about Roger, well he finally got sick or tired of the main bunch, but kept going round and round until just before 9pm and finished with a total of 81 laps, that’s over 405 km at an average speed of 35kph, FANTASTIC effort for the Gold medal Solo Vets.<br /><br />We finished 93 laps, 465km at an average speed of 39kph. Pretty good effort for Old Farts.<br /><br />Dicky Vollebregt finished 95 laps, 475km at 40+ kph and won the solo event WITHOUT geeting off or stopping for the 12 hours, yes you can answer THOSE questions yourself! Forgot to mention that after 12 hours, it was a sprint finish between Dicky and Jim Moore for the win, same distance, 3 secs time difference!!<br /><br />Next year, more NVC members,teams, pairs, solos ….. it is a sanctioned Medal event from NSW Cycling.<br /><br />See you next year.<br /><br />PS Doug, there are NO hills on the course!<br /> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:10:58 +1100 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=467 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=466 Photos available to view or download on;<br />gallery.me.com/patrickmcswiney<br /> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:20:00 +1100 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=466 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=465 Happy Hunts Points Race Day 1<br />Results from race 1 - 28k Handicap <br />Rider - Race time - Handicap - Actual time - Points<br />1-Scott Thompson – 54.45 – 8.30 – 46.15 - 10<br />2 – Dave Hunt – 54.45 – 7.30 – 47.15 - 9<br />3 – Martin Atkins – 54.45 – 7.30 – 47.15 - 8<br />4 – Kon Kinnas – 54.45 – 7.30 – 47.15 - 7<br />5 – Jake Stuart – 54.45 – 8.30 – 46.15 - 6<br />6 – Martin Tomasini – 54.45 – 8.30 – 46.15 - 5<br />7 – Dennis Briggs – 54.45 – 7.30 – 47.15 - 4<br />8 – Barry Wells – 54.45 – 6.00 – 48.45 - 3<br />9 – Mark Bagnall – 54.45 – 8.30 – 46.15 - 2<br />10 – Hubert Driehuis – 54.45 – 7.30 – 47.15 - 1<br />11 – Tony McCourt – 55.36 – 2.00 – 53.36<br />12 - Bob Lavender – 55.36 – 2.00 – 53.36<br />13 – Michael Thompson – 55.36 - 6.00 – 49.36<br />14 – Damien Mason – 55.51 – 14.00 – 41.51 FT<br />15 – Andrew Jarman – 55.51 – 13.00 – 42.51<br />16 – Phil Jones – 55.51 – 11.30 – 44.21<br />17 – Kurt Winfield – 55.51 – 10.30 - 45.21<br />18 – Mark Williams – 55.51 – 11.30 – 44.21<br />19 – Adam Ferris – 55.51 – 13.00 – 42.51<br />20 – Richard O’Connell – 55.51 – 13.00 – 42.51<br />21 - Matt Carmellotti - 55.51 – 14.00 – 41.51<br />22 – Brad Hill – 56.01 – 11.30 – 45.29<br />23 – Rod Pierce – 56.48 – 2.00 – 54.48<br />24 – Jose Pereira – 56.48 – 9.30 – 47.18<br />25 – John Penkaitis – 58.50 – 2.00 – 56.50<br />26 – Mark Schmierer – 58.50 – 0.00 – 58.50<br />DNF <br />Brendan Handel, Brian Bates, Henry Wakeford, Ross Carter, Dave Gray<br /><br />Results from race 2 - 14k Graded Scratch Race<br />A Grade<br />Rider - Time - Points <br />1 – Adam Ferris – 21.50 - 10<br />2 – Matt Carmellotti – 21.50 - 9<br />3 - Richard O’Connell - 21.50 - 8<br />4 – Damien Mason - 21.50 - 7<br />5 – Andrew Jarman – 23.10 - 6<br /><br />B Grade<br />1 – Brendan Handel – 23.20 - 10<br />2 – Brian Bates – 23.20 - 9<br />3 – Scott Thompson - 23.20 - 8<br />4 – Mark Williams – 23.20 - 7<br />5 – Jose Pereira – 23.20 - 6<br />6 – Brad Hill – 23.20 - 5<br />7 – Phil Jones – 23.20 - 4<br />8 - Henry Wakeford – 23.20 - 3<br />C Grade<br />1 - Martin Tomasini – 24.09 - 10<br />2 – Dave Hunt - 24.09 - 9<br />3 – Kon Kinnas – 24.09 - 8<br />4 – Dennis Briggs – 24.09 - 7<br />5 - Jake Stuart – 24.09 - 6<br />6 – Barry Wells – 24.09 - 5<br />7 – Hubert Driehuis – 24.09 - 4<br />8 – Michael Thompson – 24.09 - 3<br />9 – Mark Bagnall – 24.09 - 2<br />10 – Martin Atkins – 24.09 - 1<br /><br />D Grade <br />1 - Ross Carter – 27.35 - 10<br />2 - Rod Pierce – 27.35 - 9<br />3 - Tony McCourt – 27.35 - 8<br />4 – Bob Lavender – 27.35 - 7<br />5 – Dave Gray – 27.35 - 6<br /><br />Points going into next week’s graded points race <br />A grade<br />1 – Adam Ferris – 10<br />2 – Matt Carmellotti – 9<br />3 – Richard O’Connell - 8<br />4 – Damien Mason – 7<br />5 – Andrew Jarman – 6<br /><br />B grade<br />1 – Scott Thompson – 18<br />2 – Brendan Handel – 10<br />3 - Brian Bates – 9<br />4 – Mark Williams – 7<br />5 – Jose Pereira – 6<br />6 – Brad Hill - 5<br />7 – Phil Jones – 4<br />8 – Henry Wakeford – 3<br /><br />C grade<br />1 – Dave Hunt – 18<br />2 – Kon Kinnas – 15<br />3 – Martin Tomasini – 15<br />4 – Jake Stuart - 12<br />5 – Dennis Briggs – 11<br />6 – Martin Atkins – 9<br />7 – Barry Wells – 8<br />8 – Hubert Driehuis – 5<br />9 – Mark Bagnall – 4<br />10 – Michael Thompson – 3<br /><br />D grade<br />1 – Ross Carter – 10<br />2 – Rod Pierce – 9<br />3 – Tony McCourt – 8<br />4 – Bob Lavender – 7<br />5 – Dave Gray - 6<br /><br />Thanks to Bob Glendinning, Patrick McSwinney,Phil Patterson, Laurie Bryne, Paul Mackie, Richard Vitiello, Scott Johnson Adam Tagg and Tim Devlin for the marshaling job on the day, here's to ya, well done <img src="http://www.nowravelo.com/uploads/smil3dbd4e4c2e742.gif" alt="" /> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:50:00 +1100 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=465 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=464 Some Nowra Velo memebers are representing the club in the mixed oldies Team at Penrith lakes this Saturday in the 12 hr Challenge.

Feel free to send on the attached document with Crime Stopper Ph number 1800 333 000 as we feel that flooding the market with details for such a unique bike may help it be recovered.<br /><br />Most important for us was that both of Craig's Orbea bikes (road and time trial/racing bike) were stolen along with a bunch of other bike/cycling equipement.<br /><br />See the details and photo below of the 2 Bikes stolen.<br /><br />Black 51 cm ORBEA ORDU bike (Craig's race bike).<br />This bike is very unique as there are only a handful of bikes in Australia that have the Shimano Di2 electronic group sets on it. It also has a Shimano Protype SRM power meter installed on the bike. This is distinctive by looking at the crank drive arm. This is the only one in Australia and there are only a handful of the world.<br /><br />Please contact Crime Stoppers in 1800 333 000 if you see or hear anything.<br /><br />Thanks for your anticipated assistance,<br />Neri and Craig Alexander<br /><br /><br />Craig Alexander – Stolen Bike Spec’s – 2 Bikes<br /> <br />Race Bike<br />Bike Name: Black ORBEA ORDU<br />Size: 51cm<br />Headset: Integrated Headset<br />Derailer Front: SHIMANO 7900 DI2 ELECTRONIC<br />Brake Lever: Shimano Durace Carbon<br />Brake Callipers: DI2 Group Set<br />Cranks: SRM Power Meter<br />BB-Set: Enduro Grade 3 Grade 3 Ceramic Bearings<br />Aerobars: Pro Carbon Missile Flat with Straight Bars<br />Head Stem: Pro Vibe 85mm<br />Seat: Fizik Arione Carbon Tri 2<br />Chain: Durace 10 Speed<br />Cassette: 12-23 Durace<br />Training Wheels: Durace Wheels<br />Tyres: Continental Grand Prix Clinchers for Training<br />Cages: XLAB Chimp and Gorilla Carbon Cages<br />XLAB Rear Carbon Hydration System<br />Pedals: Durace<br /> <br /> <br />Road Bike<br />Frame: Black Orbea ORCA<br />Derailer Front: SHIMANO 7900 Durace<br />Training Wheels: Durace Wheels<br /><br /> Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:12:43 +1100 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=463 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=462 Came across this little clip, worth watching for a laugh.<br /><br />I thought the MTB rider got what he deserved!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF3kAoLusAg&feature=player_embedded." target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF3kAoLusAg&feature=player_embedded.</a><br /><br />I have nearly experienced ONE of those crashes????<br /><br />Snake Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:30:28 +1100 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=462 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=460 Following Rd 1 of the UNICORN CHEESE Teams Challenge 2010 – “BOMADERRY FITNESS CUP” LEADER BOARD for INDIVIDUALS is as follows;<br /><br />Name Team Pts Pstn<br />Mark Robbins Access Storage 30 1<br />Rod Peirce FTP 29 2<br />Ross Carter FTP 28 3<br />Amber Rothero Access Storage 27 4<br />Patrick McSwiney Optus World Nowra 26 5<br />Bob Lavender Q&A Engineering 25 6<br />Brian Bates Access Storage 23 7<br />Joe Pereira Q&A Engineering 22 8<br />Scott Thomson FTP 21 9<br />Lawrence Bryne Optus World Nowra 20 10<br />Martin Tomasini Ultimate 19 11<br />David Hunt FTP 18 12<br />Dennis Briggs Q&A Engineering 17 13<br />Tim Devlin Optus World Nowra 16 14<br />Barry Wells Ultimate 15 15<br />Martin Atkins Ultimate 14 16<br />Bruce Jenkins Optus World Nowra 13 17<br />Hubert Driehuis Q&A Engineering 12 18<br />Phil Rice Ultimate 11 19<br />Jacob Stuart Ultimate 10 20<br />Nick Sims Access Storage 9 21<br />Michael Thompson Q&A Engineering 7 22<br />Doug Holland Optus World Nowra 6 23<br />Mark Emerton Ultimate 4 24<br />Glen Mazengarb Access Storage 3 25<br />Nathan Miller FTP 2 26<br />Brad Hill Access Storage 1 27<br />David Gray Access Storage 1 27<br />Greg Showell Access Storage 1 27<br />Matt Wright Optus World Nowra 1 27<br />Stuart May Optus World Nowra 1 27<br />Paul Mackie Optus World Nowra 1 27<br />Andrew Jarman Ultimate 1 27<br />Mal Brown Ultimate 1 27<br />Richard O’Connell Q&A Engineering 1 27<br />Rob Rix Q&A Engineering 1 27<br />Andrew Rutty Q&A Engineering 1 27<br />Dave Morris Q&A Engineering 1 27<br />David Kerr Q&A Engineering 1 27<br />Henry Wakeford FTP 1 27<br />Joe Fenech FTP 1 27<br />Bruce Williams Access Storage 0 28<br />David Tuckerman Access Storage 0 28<br />Kurt Winfield Access Storage 0 28<br />Adrian Korner Access Storage 0 28<br />Mark Williams Optus World Nowra 0 28<br />Richard Vitiello Optus World Nowra 0 28<br />Alyssa Glyde Optus World Nowra 0 28<br />Scott Johnson Ultimate 0 28<br />James Rix Ultimate 0 28<br />Tony McCourt Ultimate 0 28<br />Damian Walsh Q&A Engineering 0 28<br />Mark Fenner FTP 0 28<br />Damian Mason FTP 0 28<br />Darren Hartnett FTP 0 28<br />Phil Patterson FTP 0 28<br />Matt Carmellotti Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Greg Molony Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Phil Jones Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Adam Ferris Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Garry Bryce Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Ian Kielly Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Brendan Handel Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Mark Bagnall Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Kon Kinnas Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Loyd Crome Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />Jody Pickles Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br />John Penkaitis Bomo Vet/Gym 0 28<br /> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:40:00 +1100 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=460 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=461 Following Rd 1 UNICORN CHEESE Teams Challenge 2010 the LEADER BOARD for the combined teams is as follows -

The other new imitative this year will also be that the leading team gets the rights to wear numbers 1 through 11 or 12 (depending on team numbers) and this will of course take affect from race 2 onwards. <br /><br />We have retained the individual leader’s jersey through Dave Tuckerman at the BIKE SHACK, and to accompany this, the 2nd placed individual will wear the “GLORIA JEANS NOWRA” jersey and the 3rd placed individual will wear the “SERCO” jersey. Thank you to our valued sponsors in Dave Tuckerman, Nicole Otte and Kon Kinnas for supporting the club. These will be determined at the conclusion of tomorrow’s race and handed out at the Bomaderry Hotel during the results debrief & BBQ breakfast.<br /><br />As always the NVC Committee would like to remind everyone of the need to stay safe whilst we are racing on public roads, please remember to stay on the correct side of the road; going over the centre line may see you disqualified, and remember to keep to the left as best you can and as often as possible.<br /><br />This years TC series shapes to be yet another exciting series as we have seen with the previous 3; to all teams and individuals - Ride Safe and Good Luck<br /><br />Regards<br />The NVC Committee <br />C/- Dave Morris<br /> Sat, 27 Feb 2010 15:29:13 +1100 http://www.nowravelo.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=458
