[obc] obc Sept.5 handicap TT
If this isn't the place to express opinions on matters relating to the Club, I don't what is. I think Avery should be commended for bringing back this event. It was obviously lots of fun for the first two years. But I have to agree with Hermann that the lack of consistency makes the event less meaningful. If there is room for improvement fine. But as anyone can see, and as Celia has aptly demonstrated, the new method is a step backward. Let's keep in mind that an age handicap should level the playing field for older riders. Clearly this is a job for a mathematician. No offence intended to Bruce who did his best with what he was given and was merely doing as he was asked. Kudos also to Bruce for his clear explanation of what transpired. Nevertheless it seems strange that the complaints of one member were given such weight. It's unfortunate that said member's comments were then misconstrued and now fewer people are happy with the handicap method than before the changes were made (including the person who complained)! How should other members go about getting their voice heard and acted upon? I suppose it would take a Board meeting to reverse all this and it is too late for that now. If this were to happen, we could turn this back into a fun event for all concerned.

FW: [obc] Champlain Bridge - Oh dear!
I used the bridge last week in the morning and encountered 3 other cyclists using the Northbound lane to go South. Normally when I encounter a person on a bike riding toward me, I inform them in no uncertain terms where they belong. But in this case, since there were 2 of them together and the bridge was newly opened, I thought there might be some stupid rule allowing 2 directions in one lane. But such was not the case. I can't figure out why people are doing this, as there are wide lanes on both sides for cyclists. Funny you witnessed the same thing Eric. It's beyond my comprehension. I don't think the white line is the reason for this but I agree with Eric that perhaps confusion for motorists might be avoided by removing the white line. Or, what about painting a bicycle symbol in the lane and an arrow indicating one way. Or overhead light indicators as used in the motorists lanes. As for the crud collecting along the side, that will happen with or without bike lanes. Still and all, a huge improvement, IMHO.

Fortunately, it has a removable visor, which alleviates it. It also has air holes in the visor which I sometimes look through on downhills.

My 2 cents on this topic is why change a good thing when it's not needed? If the NCC adds building around the area which could create more traffic or add road signs and it makes it difficult for us to ride a proper TT, then it'll be time to look for another course.but until that happens, I say we stay put. This is the 4th TT course since I started riding 15k TT's in 87 and the reasons for changing a course has always been a factor of road changes...such as stop signs or light intersection added to the course (which didn't give us a choice) but since this is a parkway, I don't think that will ever happen there. So why even think of changing? What we maybe could do is put in a word to the NCC that it would be nice to have the road re-paved. I mean doesn't the OBC contributes money to the NCC for the use of the road for our TT's? Therefore we should have a say. Cause finding a new course is not easy, there are a lot of factors involved, having it central enough for all 4 corners of the city. You need a lot of parking space, facilities, look at the security aspect of the course and easy access by bicycle for those that don't drive. When you look at all this, this course is the best, we have a free parking lot, it's easy access by bicycle along a picturesque route, the road offers a good shoulder where riders should ride (that's another subject) and we have the museum that always welcomes us to use their facilities, what more can we ask for? I'm over my 2 cents but I'd like to add that instead of commenting on changing a course because of a few bumps on the road, why not volunteer for the event and you'll get the idea that this course is well situated for running such an event when you have 80 plus riders to look after. I for one would like to see one year where volunteers come forward instead of always having to ask. So having said that...let's kick off the season on Good Friday with the wind at our backs and plenty of volunteers :-) PS: I have to say that I have volunteered on Good Friday for well over 13 years and this year I'm moving on that weekend and I really should be finishing my packing but chances are I'll still be there.

RE: [obc] grade of road
Yes, it is 16%. I have an inclinometer on my bike and that is what I measured it to be last year on the Animalathon.

RE: [obc] Results-handicapping
I wish it worked out that way my friend! If it did, I'd be trying to break the 24 minute barrier instead of the 25 (not to mention buying the beer and pizza!). Sally :) -Original Message- From: Greg Crevier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 1:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [obc] Results-handicapping This morning while doing ABC 40 km time trial, I was thinking of the discussion regarding handicaps. It was when a Cervélo passed at a speed that made me feel that I was standing still that I thought of the following system. It is based on equipment and technology. If your bike/equipment is in the $1,000 to $2,000 range you are at par In the $2-3k range you get 20 seconds added to your time In the $3-4k range you get 40 seconds added to your time In the $4-5k range, you get 1 minute added to your time In the $5k plus, you buy the pizza and beer for everyone at Mug's after the TT.

RE: [obc] Fixing Cut Tires
I have successfully repaired, on the side of the road, a tire cut by glass by inserting a boot made from an old tire. The boot is essentially an inch-long section of tire that I keep in my saddle bag for just such purposes. It's the simplest method I know of; no glue is required. I rode on that tire for the rest of the season (the flat occurred in the Spring). Sally -Original Message- From: Rod Plunkett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 4:45 PM To: OBC List Subject: [obc] Fixing Cut Tires I hate posting this when the list is so busy, but I need some advice. As luck would have it, I hit some glass last week...you know the sound - pss-pss-pss-pss - on each revolution (some punk dunderhead threw a beer bottle on Strandherd Rd). I changed tubes and road home. I went out again yesterday and had another flat just west of Stittsville - I found a cut in the tire (which I did not notice when I changed the tube). It is not a huge hole, but evidently big enough for my tube to squeeze through and cause a second flat. It is a Specialized tire and there is still substantial tread left on it. I had one of those clear vinyl pads with adhesive on it that I used to get me home, but it is marked for temporary use only. Is there a way to repair the tire, or should I just cut my losses and replace it? -Rod P PS - I wish car repairs were as cheap as bike repairs. -- To unsubscribe, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED], (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter -- To unsubscribe, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED], (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter ==^ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: archive@jab.org T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^
