When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.
No organised training or racing till Gladys gives us the thumbs up in a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, we'll leave it up to you to find a socially distant place to train.
SYDNEY CYCLING GREAT AND LEGENDARY BIKE BUILDER JIM BUNDY PASSES AWAY
29 Jan 1926 - 29 June 2021 RIP🏅
I had the privilege of interviewing Mr Bundy and his 2 illustrious sons Colin and Peter in Oct 2018. I very much enjoyed the experience, and think Jim did too.
Jim was born on the 29th of January 1926 to Fred and Myrtle Bundy of Cremorne. He was the sixth of ten children.
Jim's first job at 13 years was as an apprentice baker, in Crows Nest. He did not last a day. He was introduced to bike building by Bill Ireland, the leading hand at bike shop Lynch and Gray. Bill was the fiance of a family friend who lived with the Bundy family. This was around 1939 or 1940.
Jim's first boss was Ken Gray, who Jim describes as a good boss. He worked at Lynch and Gray for 4 years. He left because he felt his boss intervened in his wish to get enlisted into the military. When he realised he was turned down, he was deeply disappointed and believed Gray had a hand in the decision.
From around 1944, Jim worked with bike builders Smith son & Rees and stayed 12 years, going independent in 1956. "Best thing I could have done actually", Jim now says.
He married local racer Mary O'Brien in 1946. She passed away in 2010.
In the following decades Jim works for various entities, under contract. Speedwell, Postmaster General etc. He also freelanced with local bike shops like Tollis, Alcon, Lennie Rogers and Universal (for only 1 day), just to name a few. Jim opened his own shop in 1983. He taught his son Peter how to build bikes in 2008.
Very sad to hear. I remember Jim coming down to Lidcombe Oval to watch the racing with Col. Good people.
As you may be aware, the latest announcement from the state government is that the eastern suburbs and the CBD is in lock-down.
With a few key volunteers having visited the CBD or eastern suburbs for work, we think it prudent to cancel;
Group Ride, slated for 26 June 2021.
Round 9, slated for 27 June 2021.
It seems the new corona outbreak is gaining momentum. While we can still gather at outdoor settings, we must remember to maintain social distancing.
Please take a moment to check the list of coronavirus hotspots before venturing out to Lidcombe tonight:
www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates#nsw-covid-19-case-locations
As always, if you feel any symptoms please get tested and stay at home until you return a negative result.
Current COVID-19 case locations
www.nsw.gov.au
Find locations with reported cases, and the areas and suburbs with increased testing.I dare say many of you are scanning the suburb list before zeroing in on the venues. If you have caught public transport, it would be prudent to perform a search on the bus number Eg you many not have visited Bondi or North Sydney, but caught the 200 bus to and from different suburbs in between. A text search on any bus numbers or train line numbers is possible from most browsers; Eg you can search for 200 or T4. Stay safe everyone.
Hi all, for a variety of reasons, Edie's club racing career is on an indefinite hiatus. But I realised that I have some brand new NEO kit that has never been worn - still with the tags intact in fact. I have no idea what size they are from the tags (Youth/Small?), and I can't really remember what they cost new, but I'm open to offers. I'd rather they go to a good home where they'll get well used. Drop me a direct message if you're interested.

Congratulations to our Junior Tour of Sydney riders.
A cold but mostly dry day at Oakville today, except for the JB13 and JG13 road races - very wet!
Thankfully everyone stayed upright and we had plenty of fast sprint finishes.
Well done Will Kerin on racing his first junior tour!
