NSW TTT is a local event that will be run on our MR92 course on Saturday 20th July 2013.

Many clubs across the state will enter multiple teams, both serious and not so serious. It is an opportunity for members to represent their club in a state event, whether you are a serious medal contender or not.

It would be great if the teams that take it more seriously were able to start practising their TTT techniques ASAP.

If the process of selecting teams can occur very soon then we can arrange for the team members to get together over the coming weeks to get in some training. This is very important because TTT is completely different to individual TT and there is a lot to learn, share and practice.

It would be great if the committee could consider the procedures or processes to make this happen as early as possible.

Hi All, I am hoping to take our 4 our U19 junior to the State ITT champs at Calga on the 30th of June. Jade is going all the way to NOOSA to compete in the National U19s.

This is a call for assistance in equipment, to give these kids the best possible chance they need to be on a level playing field, all will have TT bikes, but I only have limited Helmets disk wheels and fronts etc. I will have skin suits for all.

If anyone with a helmet or disc wheel is willing to lend me the same for a few weekends (we will be doing some test runs in the weeks leading up) it would be much appreciated.

Please contact me if you can help I think we have a real chance to get these guys on the podium.

All equipment will be in my care for the duration.

After a short break from the success of Southern Divs FTP rides will resume on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Saturdays will be on a week to week basis due to the joys of kids winter sports.

Look on the FTP tab on the left for details under club information

It is that time again when we should be looking at our lights situation for our road bikes. After saying that, I wear lights all year round, the more visible the better. I also have backup lights both front and rear, incase!

I have been looking for a suitable rear light for my TT rig, wide seat post makes it unsuitable for most lights. If you run a Fizik saddle you can use their light that fits into the clip, but it is a dismal light that is totally useless.

Came across the Moon Comet at Emmo's. Mounts to the seat rails under the seat, USB rechargeable, 6 modes and doesn't look like the little tab will snap off when you ride over a bump?? and it is BRIGHT from all angles!

I am giving it a go, hope it doesn't fall off like all the others...... Bright!

Is the AGM still on tomorrow night, Wed. Seems to have disappeared from the calender??

For anyone thats interested I will be running a Southern Divs race training session tomorrow morning leaving at from the Info centre at 6am. This is not a full on training session but more a instructional session for riders. We will head out to Hames road and run through some race scenarios and prcatice stratagies and options.

This is a fun session not a hard session, the more the better as we can do some different things.

If people are keen I will repeat this session next Tuesday and thursday as well. Most of you have done all the work now its time to learn how to use it.


ALL welcome
