Happy 2012 Wellington Vets and all the best for the rest of
the season! In this 92nd edition, we put a spotlight on
endurance riding with articles from Doug Mabey on his
second Paris-Brest-Paris ride and Steve Orchard's Enduro
ride twice around Lake Taupo. There's a round up of club
races, tips on how to race and much more.

At the beginning of this season the committee sat down and
worked on a very basic strategic plan. The major objective of the
club was its long-term sustainability. And, to that end, we
selected two major simple, measurable, objectives. One was to
increase the membership this season to 120 (including 20
female members). The second was to end up the year with
approximately $20k in the bank. I am very happy to report that at
the date of writing this report there are 111 members with 4 life
members. So we are very close to the 120 members and we
have very close to $20k in the bank - about $19.2k to date.
We believed that increasing club membership to a point where
members can pay a reasonable subscription and have "Serious
Fun on Your Bike" was a key ingredient for the long-term
sustainability of the club. Regrettably, we only have 11 active
female riders – this is one area where I believe that we could
increase our membership.
With the increase in membership of over 25 riders this year
compared with last year, we have seen much stronger fields
particularly in the B grade where there is a very competitive
group led by Grant Kellett and Mike Stewart.

at Kahutara school 2012
In the E grade, once again, Ellis Goodyear and Alistair Rhodes have led the way. Good to see some
older faces back too, with Mike Elliott and Tim Renner overcoming quite serious health and accident
issues, and Ian Fraser racing in the Wairarapa when he can. Earlier in the season Rob Kilvington and
Tim Palmer battled out the HTT series with some incredibly close racing. Kim Hamer-Hurst has won just
about every race in Wellington including the fastest time for the Whitemans Valley Classic (over 11
minutes back to the next rider!) and the Rice Mountain Classic. She is having a fantastic season in spite
of some early season illness.
And there are the rest of us who battle away most weeks to make up the numbers and really enjoy the
racing! The good news is that the numbers are up for most events, particularly where we are not
clashing with another fun ride or other events. One example is the Club TT champs at Christmas where
in 2010 we had 16 riders and this year there were 41, which is a great increase. Most of the fields are
now bigger and stronger.
We've also had a really good turnout of helpers, marshalls and race managers, without which we
wouldn't survive. Again with the increase in numbers we have sufficient numbers to assist with most
races. Partners and others also get roped in where appropriate, so we get by. We are short of marshalls
for the 2-day tour so please advise Mike Elliott or Robin House if you can help on the tour – one of our
most popular events on the calendar. Please volunteer if you haven't already.
Here's to the second half of the season and for great racing for all of us. Good luck and see you on the
bike. Its seriously good fun!
Yours in cycling
Derek Locke, Club President

The Cyclist and the Bowerbird
Garth
Stewart thought readers
would like this article from Bicycling
Australia. he strenuously denies any
Bowerbird-like behaviour in his own
habitat....
Emily Williams reckons "I am beginning to learn that when you live with someone who
is gradually, but constantly, introducing their cycling purchases to the household over a period
of time you tend to develop immunity to it.
You can exist in that habitat, blissfully unaware of the rapid rate at which it is filling with
cycling purchases. You begin to think it is perfectly normal that one person would own five
bikes and that each room in your house would contain cycling paraphernalia. That is, until the
wakeup call happens. The wakeup call occurs when you receive a visit from someone who
hasn!t caught the cycling bug, and has not yet fully comprehended the extent of Cycling
Partner's addiction to the sport.
A recent visit from a non-cyclist friend of ours is
what prompted me to look a little closer at the
contents of our house – only to discover we are
drowning in a sea of bikes and all that goes with
them. You could be forgiven for thinking our
house was a disorganised bicycle storage space,
as opposed to a dwelling occupied by humans.
You cannot enter any room in our house without
having an overwhelming sense of bicycle culture
slap you in the face upon entry. So, as I wander
through the house and observe the way that
Cycling Partner has collected and then littered
his cycling goods throughout the entire house, I
can!t help but begin to draw parallels between
him (along with other cyclists I know) and the
bowerbird.
the cyclist cave
It all begins when the bowerbird builds a bower in order to attract mates. In the world of
Cycling Partner, his bower exists in the garage – a space completely dedicated to his cycling
habit. This space, of course, attracts "mates! in the form of fellow cyclists. Cycling Partner will
often be found in his bower, with his fellow cyclists, as they embark on the ritual of preening
their bikes. In and around the bower the male bird places a variety of brightly colored objects
he has collected.
The males spend hours arranging this collection making sure they can be displayed to their
best advantage. These traits can also be clearly identified in Cycling Partner as he places a
variety of highly noticeable cycling paraphernalia in and around his bower. His collection
oozes out of the garage and into the house. Hours and hours are spent arranging, using and
expanding this collection.
Fact file: Bowerbirds are endemic to New Guinea and Australia.
They are known for their unique
courtship behaviour, where males build a structure and decorate it with sticks and brightly coloured
objects in an attempt to attract a mate...
5
The objects that the bird uses in his bower are
usually different among each species. This
seems to be true of the differing "species! of
cyclists also. They each require objects for their
bowers that are unique to their style of cycling,
whether it be road cycling, mountain biking or the
humble commuter. While commuters love a good
backpack or panniers, a road cyclist would
almost faint at the thought of adding any weight
to their feather light frame unless it be a retro
piece of Italian hardware.
The bowerbird can spend hours searching for
certain types of objects to add to his collection.
He will go to great lengths to get some objects,
as he hunts for berries, leaves, garbage and
feathers. Sadly, the bowerbird's collecting habit
is a little cheaper than that of Cycling Partner's,
which involves many hours performing the
complex art of credit card transactions, eBay bids
and bike shop crawls to find just the right thing to
place in his bower.
The magazine collection
And last, but not least, there is the competitive streak that lies beneath it all. Being a bowerbird is a
fairly cut throat business and they will go to great lengths to have the best looking bower in the
district sometimes even purloining items from another male!s bower. An equal level of
competitiveness can be found in the community of cyclists as they constantly strive to have lightest,
fastest, newest biking equipment and to be the first one up that hill. They may not pinch items like
the bowerbird, but they!re not above a bit of internet skull-duggery
So if you don’t already fit into the category of a cyclist with a bowerbird complex you should keep
your eyes peeled for the early warning signs. Should you start to find an accumulation of used
tyres, old chains, cassette cogs and more just laying around the house; it can only mean one thing.
It is just the beginning of a long journey to the world of the bower. Before long, you will be immune
to the cycling collection that will slowly leak to the very far corners of your household. Be

warned!
New club secretary wanted!
After four years, the incumbent is knackered and stepping down from the secretarial role after the next AGM. The
Secretary is the club administrator. You provide the coordinating link between members, the management
committee and outside agencies.
The Secretary is directly responsible to the Club President, the management committee and the members.
Responsibilities and duties include making arrangements for and taking minutes of club meetings and the AGM,
dealing with correspondence, maintaining files of legal documents such as the club constitution, maintaining
custody of the Common Seal of the Club, and acting as the public officer of the club liaising with members of the
public, affiliated bodies and government agencies. Among other tasks, the Secretary oversees uniform purchases,
assists members with BikeNZ licences, and co-ordinates member's entries to national championship events.
Ideally, the Secretary is someone who is enthusiastic and dedicated to the club and its members, communicates
effectively, is well organised and can delegate tasks, maintains confidentiality on relevant matters, has a good
working knowledge of the club constitution, and the way the club is governed and managed.
Committee is a top-notch group committed to making our cycle events a safe and enjoyable experience for
all members and visitors. There's a great vibe in the club and it's a fabulous time to be on committee.
Interested in the role? Call Chris Carroll 04-298 7525 or 027-330477

!PBP fact file... Held every four years, Paris–Brest–Paris (PBP) is one of the oldest bicycling events
still regularly run (the oldest being the Catford CC Hill Climb).
The Audax Club Parisien runs the PBP as a Brevet (also called randonnée), in which cyclists ride individually. The
goal is to make it within 90 hours, but with no competition.
The Brevet is all about self-sufficiency. Riders buy supplies anywhere along the course, but support by motorized
vehicles is prohibited except at checkpoints. There is a 90-hour limit and the clock runs continuously. Many riders
sleep as little as possible, sometimes catching a few minutes beside the road before continuing.
Participants must first complete a series of brevets (known as randonneuring events) within the same calendar
year as PBP. The time frame is different for Australia and Oceania, so riders can qualify in summer. A series
consists of 200 km, 300 km, 400 km and 600 km. Each can be replaced by a longer ride. Prior to 2007, the
qualifying rides had to be completed from shortest to longest.
While the focus of PBP is on the ordinary rider, it continues to attract competitive riders. Despite insistence that it
isn't a race, PBP offers trophies and prestige to the first finishers.

Cycling balance: the no-hands manoeuvre
"First off, know that a bike is largely steered from your weight in the saddle and from your hips; very little comes
from your hands. Yes, this involves having a little faith. But then, you learn to ride a bike, right?
Find a quiet road with no traffic or even an empty parking lot. Make sure to wear your helmet and gloves in case
you do take a tumble. Pedal away at your normal pace. Don’t go slower as you need the momentum to keep the
bike moving straight. Place both hands on top of the handlebar and sit square in the saddle. Now, simply push
back evenly and sit up. Lift both hands at once. Don’t leave one hand on the bar as it will twist your body off
centre. Just sit back and keep your butt weighted in the saddle.
Don’t lean forward or keep your hands hovering over the bar—sit up straight, breathe, relax and have
confidence. Oh, and remember to keep pedaling!".

Girls get saddle sores too...
Sores in the groin, upper leg and butt area can be a nuisance—or worse: force you to take time off from cycling. The
best treatment for saddle sores is preventing them. The most common sores include blocked or infected glands,
which show up as lumps, chafing problems and pain in the pelvic bone area where your weight may be resting.
Prevention
o Be certain your bike is set up correctly. A saddle that is too high can force the rider to reach for the pedals,
causing either pressure or chafing. A saddle that is too low doesn't allow the legs to support the body and puts
excess pressures on your crotch.
o To help prevent chafing, slather your genital area and upper thigh with a good chamois creme or BodyGlide.
o Wear padded cycling shorts without underwear. Cycling shorts are designed to reduce friction from seams, and
the padding helps reduce pressure on sensitive areas.
o Good hygiene is essential after the ride. Take off your dirty shorts, wash your crotch and don't wear those shorts
again until they have been cleaned.
o Don't suddenly increase weekly or daily mileage on the bike.
o If you shave the upper leg and lower torso, a light application of antibiotic ointment after shaving may help
prevent red spots and infected bumps.
o Be certain the bike seat isn't tilted too far up or down. This creates pressure, causing you to constantly push
back in the saddle.
o If problems persist, a different saddle may help, especially one with a soft or cutout area near the nose.

How to deal with road rash
Road rash (not the computer game) is a burn/skin abrasion that results from contact with the ground
after coming off your bike. It can hurt because of nerve ends that become exposed. Here are some tips
on how to deal with road rash.
Before you hit the road...
•
•
At least shave your legs as cleaning debris out of wounds is a lot easier without hairs in the way
Get a tetanus booster (update every five years)
Make up a road rash kit...
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pain killers (Ibuprofen or alternatives if gastric)
Clean water (lots of it)
Sterile wipes or wash cloth
Anti-bacterial soap
Antibiotic ointment/ powder (Neosporin)
Petroleum jelly
Butterfly tape – for deeper wounds that don't quite need stitches
Paper dressing tape (micropore)
Scissors
Expensive wound dressings (1) fake skin types like Duoderm that can be left one and make the
healing process much easier
Cheaper wound dressings (2) non-adhesive gauze pads or thin maxipad to be changed daily.
Tubular bandage
Fishnet gauze or support pantyhose for covering up limbs to allow you to keep riding
After you hit the road...
•
•
Assess severity of the wound.
Consider medical attention if wound is larger than palm of your hand, edges of wound pull apart
widely, wound is deep, and/or debris is embedded in wound and needs more attention.
Tend to the wound...
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Take pain relief
Flush the wound with lots of water
Use wipes to get rid of the visible muck
Clean the wound using a mild antibacterial soap, a washcloth and lots of water
Only scrub hard enough to get the gravel out
Try soaking in bath and using tweezers to get out the really nasty stuff
Gently pat the wound damp-dry
Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to the wound
Optional – apply thin layer of petroleum jelly to keep the dressing from sticking to the road rash
Dress the wound...
•
•
If using a healing hydrocolloid dressing, apply it and leave in place until healing has occurred. You
don't usually need to remove the dressing or re-clean the wound, and it!ll drop off in a week or so to
reveal new pink skin.
If using more traditional dressings, apply a thin coating of antibiotic ointment once the wound is
clean, followed by a non-adhesive gauze pad and then hold that in place with Micropore (sticky
paper) tape and cover with bandage.
Daily wound management...
•
•
•
•
Change dressing daily, wash gently in the shower or soak off in bath
Check wound for increasing redness, swelling, pain, pus or foul smelling drainage. These are all
signs of infection that will require medical attention.
After a couple of days, air the wound daily after showering to keep it from getting too gooey
Once the scab has come off, new pink skin will be revealed. This skin has not yet fully healed and
needs to be protected with sun block or clothing.

How to race
Bob McAuliffe offers some tips on how to race...
"... A Campagnolo advertisement says, "To
finish first, first you must finish!. To finish a race,
you need to have done pre-race preparation:
training, diet, rest, equipment check, consultation
with coach or team-mates. These are all topics for
other articles. But you also need a race plan which
will not only ensure that you finish, but that you are
positioned and prepared for the decisive parts of the
race. Ironically, for a sport that is so hard, racing is
all about conserving energy. Generally, your plan will
be to conserve energy for the decisive events of the
race that will include responding to attacks, initiating
attacks and the final sprint. Your plan for each race
will take in to account:
• Your own fitness and form
• Experience in races over similar distances and
terrain
• Knowledge of your competitors! strengths and
limitations
• What you are trying to achieve (even if just to
finish a first event might be a good first goal)

Settling In
Arrive at the start in time to prepare your equipment, register, have an effective warm up, and take a
starting position near the front. When the race begins, make a conscious effort to relax your arms and
breathe easily, using small gears that will allow smooth pedaling. If surges occur, change up to bigger
gears as necessary, but return to the easier gears as soon as you can. This will save your legs for
later.
In the early stages of the race, you will often experience aimless attacks and doomed breakaway
attempts. At any level, you can never be sure which breaks to chase. What is certain is that you
cannot chase every move. If you take a position in say, the first one a long grinding chase, particularly
if there is a shortage of willing workers.
Position
To an outside observer, the peloton (main group of riders) may appear a solid, colourful mass. To
those who are part of it, it is a living thing. It surges and stalls, stretches and compresses, and allows
some to escape briefly before recapturing them, while shedding the unfit and unprepared! There is
constant movement within its ranks as some riders strive to secure more favourable positions and
others default to its "back door!. You need to monitor your position constantly to ensure you are far
enough back to obtain shelter, but stay close enough to the front to avoid mishaps and to remain
prepared for the decisive moves. While the odds favour positioning in the first one third of the bunch,
we can refine this even further according to the conditions. In lower grades or with riders of unknown
skill, it!s wise to stay closer to the front. If the road is narrow, wet or badly surfaced, it is also safer
nearer to the front. On out and back courses, the field can break up at the U turn, so you need to be at
the front beforehand.
14
Wind
Sheltering from the wind is arguably the most important
single factor in conserving energy. You make peaks of
effort on climbs and in responding to changes of pace,
but wind is a constant factor. Even on a perfectly still
day, a rider will experience resistance in moving through
the air—there is always wind on the road. You must
know the wind direction and ensure that you adjust your
position in the bunch to remain sheltered. Train yourself
so that you instinctively assess the wind conditions.
Some indicators of wind direction are smoke blowing,
flags waving, washing on clothes lines, leaf and litter
movement, or when experienced riders are positioning
themselves in the bunch.
Comeback kid
He's turning heads with
performances that others half
his age would 'die' for....
Climbing
You cannot avoid the climbs, but you have some control
over your energy output. You can save precious energy
by drifting back through the field over the length of the
climb. This proven technique is to start the climb at the
front of the bunch then drift back so that you reach the
rear near the top. A quick check of your heart rate
monitor will confirm the benefits. You then need to move
through to the front of the bunch and repeat the
procedure on the next climb. This tactic is most effective
in the early stages but, as the race progresses, it may be
wise not to drift too far back, particularly if an attack
appears likely.
Working Turns
Mike Elliot on start line at club
18k TT champs 2011
There is an established protocol about sharing the work, "taking turns!, in a bunch. Many beginners
have been turned off road racing when the local club hot-head starts swearing at them for naively
breaching these "rules!. Protocol dictates that riders who are part of a group with a common
objective share the work involved in achieving that objective. The group might be a breakaway
trying to stay away or riders trying to catch a breakaway. In both of these examples individuals in
the group all have something to gain by working for the group. Even in these groups, you are not
obliged to work if:
• The group is trying to catch your club mate who is in a favourable position
• Your club mate is trying to regain the group after a mishap
• Any member of the group is attacking the group.
If you accept the benefits and obligations of being part of the group, here!s how you can still
contribute your fair share, but use less energy than those not quite so tactically smart:
• Attempt to take the wheel of one of the strongest, smoothest (and hopefully biggest!) riders. If
he accelerates as he takes his turn, you will be "dragged through! with him. This is far better
than having a strong rider accelerate past as you finish your turn.
• Keep your turns short. If you follow the strong rider through, his momentum will almost cover
your short turn. If you observe breakaway groups working seriously in professional races, you
will see that the leading rider is already being overtaken as soon as he moves to the front. The
result is a very efficient, rhythmic operation.
• Short turns are more efficient, but some riders insist on doing long ones—good luck to them!
Take advantage of their effort but don!t copy them.
• Don!t accelerate through to take a turn. The purpose of a pace line is to share the effort
required to maintain a constant speed. The rider on the front dictates the length of his turn, and
the recognised signal to come through is a flick of the elbow on the sheltered side where he is
expecting you to pass. The signal will not usually be necessary with short rolling turns.
• Don!t work harder than others in the group. It is important that you earn respect by doing your
share, but this does not mean being a workhorse.
15
The Final Phase
So far, you have been concerned with settling in to the pattern and rhythm of the race, and
conserving your strength for the decisive events from which the real contenders will emerge. The
next phase involves using your precious energy resources to ensure you end up in a position
where you can win the race. Your journey to the podium will require demonstration of the strengths
in which you are confident, but also a measure of patience. In racing, patience does not mean
waiting for something to happen and hoping you!re part of it. It means working through your plan
and mentally ticking off each successfully completed phase. Patience is self-control; it is action
ready to happen.
Responding to Attacks
As any race develops, serious attacks become more likely. If you can recognise the signs, you are
in a better position to respond. Look for riders who have been content to roll along in the bunch,
but who are now becoming more visible. They may be moving closer to the front or forming a train
with club mates at the back—three or four, even two, of the same colour jerseys together is a
danger signal! Other signs include riders systematically checking the positions of others in the
bunch, and discreetly changing up a gear or two.
Initiating Attacks
Your objective in launching an attack is usually to place yourself
in a position where you reduce the numbers of your rivals or
weaken them in preparation for later attacks. There is no point
attacking unless you know exactly what you are trying to
achieve, and this could include:
• Launching a breakaway group of club mates.
• A lone breakaway. This should not be undertaken lightly.
You do see examples of riders outclassing the field and
succeeding but, generally, the odds are not good.
• To dispose of a sprinter who you do not want at the finish
• To reduce the serious contenders to a manageable number.
If an attack is to succeed, you must open up a gap immediately.
Here are some of the best moments to try:
• Near the top of a climb, using the descent to increase gap.
• First in to a sharp corner, accelerating out.
• Into a headwind where you know it is about to change (eg.
the road changes direction and you quickly have the benefit
of a tail wind to increase your lead).
• As the bunch regroups after an attack. Having successfully
nullified an attack, the bunch tends to relax and this is your
chance for a classic counter attack.
• First out of the turn on an out and back course.
• On a smooth, flat road with ideal conditions. Sometimes this
will succeed simply because it is so unexpected! Some
attacks are premeditated and planned in detail but, on many
occasions, alliances will be formed on the road.
If you are feeling strong and keen to attack, it makes sense to
take some helpers with you. With the better riders always on the
alert, it is not difficult to communicate your intentions to the right
people. If you are keen, and have nothing organised, another
option is to make a lone move off the front at about 80% effort
and see who wants to play.
The Finish. The vast majority of races finish in a sprint. It
may involve the entire bunch, down to just two
breakaway riders. More on this next issue...
