board it is great to see the new faces at the races and
the enjoyment you all seem to be getting from the
camaraderie of a good race.
Don’t forget to introduce yourself around the new faces
at the after match function.
Keep safe if you are joining in the spring carnival of fun
rides.
Douglas.
From the Race Manager
We need your stories about the races so far, so if you
want to share some lighter moments or commentary
about races and who is racing them send them in.
Riders to watch out for – Mike Bradley from Fielding, this
man is as keen as they come and has travelled down to
our races on a regular basis. Nice one Mike.
Most aggressive rider - not sure who this is.
From the President
Since the last Startline we have held a very successful
25th Birthday Party and a successful fun ride. We
couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year. The
Sunday racing has also been keenly contested and in the
main the weather has been kind.
Subscriptions are now due if you haven’t paid yet.
Remember to renew them by 30 October to retain your
current membership. Those who have renewed, thanks
heaps and to all the new members who have come on
Who is winning – congrats to John Holloway for winning
the Mangaroa Cup on the weekend 19 Oct 08.
Sue Comans - update
As many of the club membership will know, Sue Comans
resigned from the club treasurer position prior to the
AGM because of her health. I took the opportunity on
behalf of the club to enquire about her health.
She says that she is “really well and rolling along nicely”
She also says that she is in training to complete the last
leg of Taupo. Her fitness levels are at rock bottom but is
working hard to regain some level of fitness. A few hills
are in the mix over the next month leading up to Taupo,
so she says that she’ll ride out to Makara Beach and
back a few times. Sue is excited to have got to the
point of riding again.
On behalf of the club we offer Sue, David and their
family our best wishes and every success for her ride in
Taupo at the end of November.
Thanks to our life members for sharing their
commentary about the club; from its formative years
through to the expansion period. It is important to know
where, who, what, when why and how we started.
Douglas brought us back into the current status and
future direction for the club. He spoke about the
challenges that the club face – recruitment of committee
members and club membership, the need to maintain a
balanced race programme, the increasing need for club
volunteers to assist on race days, declining numbers on
race days and so on.
ED.
I might add that the club membership is picking up with
new faces and good numbers attending races.
25th Anniversary Celebrations
Well the Vets celebrated its 25th Anniversary on
Saturday 6 September starting with Handicap Time Trial
at the Liverton Road circuit followed by a dinner function
at the Plimmerton Boating Club.
Here is a short wrap up of the time trial. Over 40 people
registered for the event with about 35 crossing the
startline. Weather conditions weren’t too flash, but hey,
we ride on.
Congratulations to Dian Bell for winning the handicap
time trial. She was presented with a shiny new 25TH
Anniversary Time Trial Cup at the evening function –
well done Dian (P.S. By the time this StartLine goes to
print you will have your cup on your mantelpiece).
So who had the fastest overall times? See below for the
top 3 fastest times; men and women.
Men:
Ian Thompson – 25.03
Paul Morrison – 25.43
Jason Eady – 26.21
Our guest speaker Tony Adams entertained us with his
motivational story and ably supported by Melissa Moon.
I must say that Wellington is graced with a lot of high
calibre people who are able to and willing to share their
stories.
The Trinny and Susannah show put on by Joanne Witko
and Paula Peacock was a real hoot. It gave us cyclist’s
opportunity to have a wee laugh at ourselves and what
we wear or moreover what we shouldn’t wear. Thanks
ladies and to Paul and Jason for modelling.
So what were the other highlights of the night? Dian Bell
receiving her cup from Melissa Moon; Phyllis Collins
doing the honours of cutting the cake, Tony Adams
doing his rerun of his Guinness Book of Records attempt
at speed tapping, and the PowerPoint slideshow. Let’s
not forget the gentlemen who proposed toasts during
night or for Rex for adding his humour and poignant
Cycling Prayer.
Women:
Dian Bell – 31.04 (Handicap 8.30, time 22.04, Handicap
Winner)
Margaret Van Ansem – 32.30
Jill West – 32.41
So here is the list of people who I want to thank for their
assistance during the time trial or at the evening
function:
Bill Johnson, Fred Wotton, Dave Holey, Malcolm and
Phyllis Collins, Paula Peacock, Joanne Witko, Jason Eady,
Paul Peacock, Mike Elliott, Doug Bevege, Paula Bevege,
Temptations Catering Ltd, John Holloway, Alister
Rhodes, Rex Dowding, Richard De Groot (Plimmerton
Boating Club) and our club committee for their support
leading up to and on the day.
A big shout out to Mike Elliott for setting up the race and
to Dave Grimmond and Co for time keeping.
My apologies if I have left anyone out as it is not
intentional.
So let’s talk about the dinner function. What were the
highlights for me? Well the whole evening was one big
highlight (and just quietly I am glad it’s all over). We
had about 60 people at the function and the feedback so
far has been really great.
Regards
Marty Bidois.
Featherston Fun Ride
Paul and his team did and excellent job with the Fun
Ride. A good field of approx 350 riders blasted around
the lake in good time. A little bit of cross wind heading
back towards Martinborough but apart from that it was a
good day out on the bike. We did get a wee bit wet at
the start – but hey you get that with cycling!
Top marks to Paul and a big thank you from the Vets
Committee.
about how you trashed the field on a hill or in that sprint
to the line or where you punctured or got spat out the
back!
Vets 2 day Tour
So you have a bit of spare time and want to give back to
cycling then why not get involved with the planning of
the WVCC/PNP 2 day tour. This tour is to be held over
the weekend 24-25 January 2009.
Vets Committee.
The expectation is that you represent the Vets for the
planning and management of the tour. This planning and
management is done in-conjunction with PNP.
Incorrect data entry – Club office
holders
In the last edition of the StartLine I had an article
provided by Fred Wotton that listed club office holders
from 1983 to the 2007. It has been brought to our
attention that the Race Manager for the 2006-2007
season was in fact Kevin McCormack not Craig Peach, as
listed. Our apologies to Kevin and we will ensure that
our records are corrected.
ED.

Training rides
The race season is in full swing and lots of cyclists are
out doing their training rides either in small bunches or
individually. If you want to ride with a bunch then check
out some of the local groups:
•
The SANZ (South Africa/New Zealand) peleton rides
out of Thorndon Terrace starting at 8am every
Saturday. Generally about 30-50 cyclists gather
there and will ride anywhere from 70 -100km plus
rides.
•
The Onslow Tar Babies have training rides every
weekend, check out their web page for further info
about the length of their rides and their rules, their
focus is Taupo.
•
NZ Army – this is a new group that rides out of
Trentham every Sunday starting about 9am, their
focus is also Taupo.
•
There are also many cycle shop rides as well, so
check out your local cycle shop to see what they
have to offer.
•
The Vets also rides from various locations
throughout the Wellington region; contact the
following club members:
o Lower Hutt/Upper Hutt – Marty Bidois
o Wellington – Dave Grimmond
o Churton Park – John Holloway
o Kapiti – Chris Carroll
The crashers gene and taking
responsibility for our own safety
Recently I started to wonder if there is such a thing as a
'crashers' gene.
Have you ever noticed how it always seems to be the
same people that crash, even though 9 times out of 10,
it appears that it’s because someone else in a car has
taken them out? Why is this?
to look like Danielo De Luca, or Lance Armstrong. It
wasn’t a fashion contest. It was fun.
The way I look at it is. By the law of averages, the more
I ride my bike, the more likely it is, that one day my
number will come up. I need to bring the odds back in
my favour. What can I do to stack the odds more in my
favour?
Taking safety seriously
•
A guy I know, lets call him "Jimmy" has been involved in
some terrible accidents in the last couple of years. One
day he was taken out by someone in a car who rode
through his group of riders, with serious injuries
resulting. It seemed like less than 2 years later, a lady
just stepped out at him off the side of the street!
Broken limbs and other nasty injuries resulted. He was
in a bad way.
How can this be? I have ridden these same stretches of
road many times with no problems.
Jimmy has been riding for many years. He even rides
off-road, so you would think he had a reasonable skill
level.
The other day I rolled down my hill, through the lights where two young girls were killed a few years back,
when two drivers both trying to cheat the lights
connected.
I crossed the lanes to take up my small commuters strip
on the side of the road and....WHOOSH!
Another cyclist blew past at 90 degrees to me and nearly
collected me. At first I was confused, I thought I had
done something wrong! But no, it was him! Jimmy was
crashing the lights on his bike!
•
•
•
•
•
He was crashing the lights, and still was not looking out
for someone who might hit him, while he was doing
something illegal and risky. That’s when the realisation
hit me. Jimmy was a risk taker. He wasn’t unlucky. He
didn’t have a crashers gene. No one was picking on him.
He was making his own luck - and it was all bad.
Before I rode push-bikes I was what was called a
temporary New Zealander. A motorcyclist. I learnt then,
that it was up to me to make myself safe. I treated
every car driver like they were out to get me. Being
indignant because I was in "the right" wasn’t worth
diddley if I was dead. Now that I have a family this is
even more important.
Wearing a fluro vest or bum-flap isn’t an issue with me.
I'd rather be seen - alive, than leave a trendy colourcoordinated carbon-fibre impregnated good looking
corpse. I didn’t start riding push-bikes because I wanted
•
Don’t take risks that might involve your own life,
or jeopardise your family's ability to function in
the way that they are accustomed.
Be more visible? Lights, vests. FRESH batteries.
Take safer routes (where possible). Avoid routes
riding in places where there are opening car
doors or lots of side traffic, school routes, multitasking mums in "Remuera tractors".
Give credit to others who drive safely. A friendly
wave to a truck driver who gives you space
creates good feeling in our shared community.
It’s a long term strategy that means that that
particular truck driver won’t resent the next
cyclist he sees blocking his way onto a narrow
bridge.
Don’t run the lights. The first thing the angry car
driver says when debating car vs bikes in the
office is. "But what about those cyclists that
crash the lights all the time! They deserve to get
run over !". Don’t give them a reason to resent
you. A resentful driver is not a safe driver.
Pay attention to your surroundings. Over time
you will pick up skills that you don’t even know
you are learning. They become 2nd nature, but
it takes years. You may not even be aware that
the reason you slowed down as you approached
the car on the left was that your subconscious
mind noticed the front right wheel turn out by a
few inches as the driver prepared to pull out
from the curb - or the flash of movement in the
back seat might have signalled to you that a kid
was going to jump out of the rear door. The first
few years are the hard ones. If you can get
through them alive, you are on the way, but you
can never be complacent. You must never stop
learning to be safer. Your brain is a selfprogramming computer that learns new skills all
the time.
Learn to anticipate what the traffic around you is
most likely to do given the potential scenarios of
lane swapping, parking, stopping etc.
Riding on the road is not like mountain biking,
swimming, kayaking or running. There are big dangers.
If you are not prepared to take responsibility for your
own safety on our roads, then you might like to think
about getting your two wheeled kicks on the velodrome
or the MTB trails, and leave the roads until Peak oil
weeds out a few more of the SUV drivers!
Signed.

Club uniform
Our club uniform looks good although the number of
people wearing it on race days or out an about on
weekend training rides is dwindling. So if you are keen
to purchase or to view what we have then go to our web
page for details, or alternately contact Chris Carroll for
further information. Note - an order will be made when
there are sufficient numbers to warrant placement of an
order.

Nationals – Labour Weekend,
Wanganui
By the time you receive this StartLine our Wellington
Vets team comprising of Peter Dickinson, Rex Dowding,
Doug Bevege, Bernard Ryan, Kevin McCormack and Ross
Jackson would have done their thing! Notwithstanding
we do wish them well and look forward to an update on
their return.
Who knows next year we may be able to recruit more
club members to give it a crack! Who is keen – come on!

ability between fastest and slowest within the bunch.
Such a large bunch will give ample opportunity for some
riders to shelter for the whole race, and this is alright, if
they can get away with it, as the sole object is to cross
the line first, and saving one’s energy for the finish is
acceptable.
A handicap race starts from a different premise.
Bunches should be selected so that riders are of roughly
equal ability on the course to be run, and are started in
reverse order of ability so that, to the best of the
handicapper’s estimation, all bunches will finish the race
together.
Each group should be fairly small, both to minimise
different capabilities within the group, so that all will
work together to stay ahead or to catch those in front,
and to avoid those lazy riders who don’t contribute to
the pace. Every bunch is riding to best every other
bunch, and it is only in the finishing straight that
individual rivalries can be accepted.
The watch is started with the first riders away, and times
are taken as riders finish. Subtraction of riders’ starting
handicaps provides riders’ actual times for those who
require them, but places are in order of finishing.
Handicaps are an attempt to equalise riders of differing
abilities, and those who ride most above their estimated
ability are rewarded with the top places.
For the past several years our club has run handicap
races almost as graded races with allowed interaction
between grades. Bunches have been too big, and
generally the same as the gradings. Race results have
been formulated so that the only obvious placings are in
order of ride times rather than finishing. Finishing times
are usually not given. Now that the Committee are
asking for entries to be in three days before the race, it
should be possible to handicap rather than duplicate
gradings. And the course has to be considered, at least
for the long markers. Hilly terrain will require a different
grouping than a flat course.
A better grade of handicap
Article provided by Malcolm Collins.
There seems to be some confusion about the set up of
handicap versus graded racing in our club.
Volunteers to assist with race
management
A graded race is a massed start race with the field
selected from riders of roughly equal abilities. If there
are, say, four grades, this means only that there are
four races running concurrently. Each grade must
remain separate from the others. There may be 20 or
more riders in one grade, and it must be recognised that
there will still be a considerable difference in riding
Once again we remind our club members of the need to
volunteer to assist race management. As you will all
appreciate volunteers make our races safe not only for
us but also for other road users. Check out the race
programme on the web page, find a date that is suitable
for you then let me know.
Dave Grimmond. As easy as PI
Article provided by Malcolm Collins.
I was listening to the commentator during the pursuit
rides at the Olympic Games and several times he
incorrectly explained the meaning of a 106 inch gear to
the viewers. So for all you other cyclists who heard him
and wondered, here is the real story.
In the early days of cycling the pedals were attached by
cranks directly to the spindle of the driving wheel. One
revolution of the cranks resulted in one revolution of the
wheel. A bigger diameter wheel took you further than a
smaller wheel as the circumference increased
proportionate to the increase in diameter.
Wheels grew very large in an attempt to give reasonable
speed without pedalling your legs off, but the distance
from the pedals to the rim was limited by the length of
the rider’s legs, - a tall rider could ride a larger wheel,
which gave him a higher gear. This gear was expressed
as the diameter of the wheel, a very tall person perhaps
riding a 65 inch wheel, and most women and shorter
men unable to manage anything much over 60 inches.
Note that the distance travelled per crank and wheel
revolution was the diameter multiplied by Pi which gives
the circumference.
The advent of chain drive allowed the wheel to be
geared up from the cranks. A chain wheel with twice the
number of teeth that the sprocket has will turn the
wheel round twice for every crank revolution. Dividing
the sprocket teeth into the chain wheel teeth will give
the number of wheel revolutions. E.g. 48 divided by 16
equals 3, 53 divided by 16 equals 3.31 etc.
Road wheels are all a nominal 27 inch diameter so by
gearing the wheel up by say 3, we get the equivalent of
one revolution of a wheel 3x27 inches or 81 inches.
Diameter and circumference are always in direct
relationship as Pi is a constant. So one revolution of the
cranks takes us the same distance as one revolution of a
wheel 81 inches in diameter, 254inches - 81 inches
times Pi. The 106 inch gear that the television
commentator was talking about advanced the pursuiter
3.1416(Pi) x 106 inches equals 333inches or 27feet 9
inches, not 106 inches or 8feet 10 inches.
It is easy to work out all your gears by multiplying the
chain wheel teeth by 27 (wheel diameter) and dividing in
turn by each sprocket tooth number. When you do this
you will find some gears near duplicated using each
chain ring with different sprockets e.g. 53:20 equals
71.5 inches, 39:15 equals 70.2 inches.
This will only occur at the end of each cluster’s range
and will normally cause no inconveniences, although
your 18 speed bike is probably only a 14 speed with four
gears nearly pairs. In the early days of double chain
rings, with gear shifters not capable of handling very big
to very small sprockets, the standard was three teeth
difference on chain rings and two teeth difference on
rear sprockets. This meant a double shift to move up or
down one gear and was very inconvenient. It’s much
easier now but I wonder how many of you are riding
“blind”. A few minutes spent calculating the figures will
let you know if you really are changing gear when you
move the lever, and by how much.
Cycling terminology
Article provided by Geoff Campbell.
Attack
An aggressive “jump” to get away from another rider or
the bunch.
Blocking
When a rider tries to get in the way of other riders,
usually done as part of a team strategy to slow down the
main field when other team members are ahead in a
breakaway.
Bidon
French word for a cyclist’s drink bottle.
Break or Breakaway
A single or group of riders who have cycled away from
the bunch.
Bridge the Gap
When a rider or group of riders is attempting to reach a
group farther ahead.
Peloton
French word for the main pack or group of riders.
Cadence
Number of pedal revolutions per minute (rpm).
Drafting
Riding closely behind another rider or group, which
creates a slipstream, or air pocket. Riders take turns of
leading as the lead rider expends up to 30 percent more
energy than the following rider(s) does.
Derailleur
The mechanism that moves the chain from one gear to
another.
Dropped
Describes riders(s) that have been left behind by a
group they were riding with.
Echelon
A line of riders taking orderly turns at the lead and
staggered so that each rider will get maximum
protection from the wind. Also called a "pace line"
Feeding
At some point during a long road race it is necessary for
riders to replace expended energy. Riders are given a
"musette," a small cloth bag, containing food and water
bottles. Riders grab the bag from the team support
personnel, remove the contents and put them in the
pockets of their jerseys to eat when most convenient.
Field Sprint
The final sprint between a group of riders, not
necessarily for first place.
Force the Pace
When one rider goes harder than the pack to increase
the tempo.
Gap
The distance between individual or groups.
Jump
A quick acceleration usually done at the first part of a
sprint or attack.
Lead out
Race tactic where the leading rider accelerates to
maximum speed with a team mate following close
behind. The team mate accelerates out of the draft and
sprints past to the finish line.
Lapping
Sharing the effort in a pace line.
Soigneur
Pronounced "Swa-neur" Comparable to a trainer in other
sports, this person gives massages and watches the
physical health of the riders along with the team
doctors.
Sprint
The final burst of speed to the finish line.
Turn
When a rider is at the front of pace line they are “taken
a turn”.
Velodrome
An oval banked track, usually 250 meters in length. In
general, track riders and road riders compete in
separate kinds of events. The difference in training and
ability is similar to the difference between sprinters and
long-distance runners.
Wheel Following
Occupying position other than the lead spot in the pace
line.
