Surly Recall

We got this email from the Australian Surly wholesaler. It applies to complete Surly-specced Truckers and Crosschecks, equipped with cantilever brakes, not vbrakes

Dirt Works Australia would like to advise you of a voluntary recall we have initiated involving the Surly Crosscheck and Long Haul Trucker bicycles.

Some bicycles may have been supplied without the straddle cable catch hook.

We have the hook kits in stock and will be shipping them to you over the next week.

Please advise your customers to cease riding these bicycles and return them to you for the catch hooks to be fitted.

We apologise for this and hope that we can get everyone back on their bikes as soon as possible..

Fringe Festival Projector Bike

We’re sponsoring Projector Bike as part of the Sydney Fringe Festival -

Projector Bike invites you to come with us on a tour through the back lanes and byways of the inner west.

By night we will take to the streets with a mobile projection rig and sound system that will illuminate the walls and the tell tales of life in the city.

We will be taking two tours each night of the inner west and projecting video works from local artists on the buildings and back streets of Newtown.

So grab your fixie, mountain bike, street machine, pub racer or BMX as we go searching for the secrets that this city has to offer.

The ride will take approx 60 mins and stop at five different locations.

Green Ups Bike Party

Paris Brest Paris 2011 Information Night

DATE: Thursday 19 August 2010
TIME: from 6pm for dinner and drinks, then 7:30pm for presentations and Q&A session

LOCATION: Harts Pub, cnr Gloucester & Essex St, The Rocks (nearest train stations are Wynyard & Circular Quay)

 

 

The biggest social gathering we’ve had in NSW for a long time!

 

Even if you’ve no intention of riding the PBP it’s worth attending this great social event.

 

Randonneur 5000 Presentations

 

This is the highest award that Audax has to offer and very few Australians have earned this medal.  Come along and support those randonneurs who will be presented with their medals on the evening, so that they will receive the honour they deserve.

 

Everyone is welcome: members, non-members, family and friends.

 

The agenda will also include:

• guest speakers
• latest information from the Australian PBP Committee
• clarification of qualification requirements and process
• an opportunity to speak with PBP anciens and anciennes
• meet other prospective PBP 2011 participants
• Q&A session… your chance to get answers to the questions you may have been afraid to ask

If you have not already done so, please register your intention to attend (and advise how many in your party) so that Harts can make sure there is enough food for all of us.

 
RSVP ramhkd@yahoo.com.au or 02 9476 5310 by 16 August.

thank you

Our mate James (“digi-whizzkid”) supplied us with some new home brew on the weekend that i think was described as an English bitter, not a style i am familiar with or thought i would enjoy but the advice to drink very cold appealed.

Who would have thought that something in a fairly ugly plastic bottle could taste so good. Thanks a bunch James, warmed us up for the ride home on this appalling Monday night.

mmmmm
