A rear mudguard mountd on seatpost. If it's really bad a plain pvc jacket. If you have the $ a better jacket gore etc.
If i head out into rain, the mudguard is on.

I caught this bloke at the last Blayney race. He escaped the commisaires however. I wanted him hunted down and branded a cheat.

Motors on bike are a sin and should have their valves removed.

I am delighted to support and welcome all indigenous aussies. In fact I would prefer you win more races being this was a land on which you roamed longer than us not so dard skinned folk. Careful however, my eyesight is not that great I might mistake u for a wombat if you dont get up and move too much-no matter how good telescopic sights are!

Chailord- I'm wondering how a race report have anything to do with recommending someone places to do hill training?
Bullsgarden road may be a little steep for a steady hill climb as asked for- maybe he should just do the loaf?
Brunker is good as it's fine for big chainring-do it myself when preparing for races. Pacific Highway may be a little high on raffic depending the time of day you ride there- then again Brunker maybe likewise.
Perhaps the hillls towards North Belmont along past Bennetts Green- traffic also.
I'm sure you're a big boy tho, make sure you eat your wheat bix!

Boost- the parking ticket ia a laugh- a bigger one is your diea to throw shrapnel at the meter BEFORE getting out to avoid a fine. Top shot cowboy. I ask the question also- why the hell dont you use trams more often?

Due to overwhelming demand for low speeds on shared bike paths, I would stronger advise to find another place to ride at 30-35 km unless you like the idea of getting yelled at to slow down or even stopped by the locals should they decide to. If you do anyhow- you've been warned and informed. Get out there with the recommendations already made. Keep the paths free (and newspaper columns) of annoyed pedestrians.

"I have noticed that C grade seems to do similar average speeds to B, but B is harder as C tends to have less attacks and can keep a higher average as a result, B also can do similar average speeds to A but the attacks in B tend to be slower and shorter.
Lots of the time A can be going not that much over 30 km/h with riders all looking at each other then bam a big long attack at 50 + km/h followed by a counter attack, then another look at one another before another attack is launched."

On target with that little burst there Metro. A does operate at repeated hits quite often. B is like an Irish pub brawl on St Patrick's Day, c grade is a brawl at McDonalds just before breakfast finishes-no offence. I can't help feeling like playing it to training slower and doing cafe crawling and hitting the races harder less often-sprinter style. If you can repeat the intensity it seems you'll be in with a decent chance in A grade. I love my age- you don't get involved in the worm-ridden details of the fast paced life.
