Bay Crits | Stage 3

January 3, 2012

A relatively quiet day down in Portarlington for stage 3 of the Bay Crits. It’s a bit of a drive from Melbourne and many people are getting back to work so there weren’t quite the same crowds as the past couple days. Nonetheless there was some fast racing and a nice relief from the hot […]

Bay Crits | Stage 2

January 2, 2012

The temperature said 46C as I rolled into Geelong this afternoon. Fortunately the hour long race was called 10min short as the asphalt was basically melting. If you’ve ever experienced this type of heat you’ll know how difficult it would be to race in these conditions. It’s one of those rare times I was happy […]

Bikes of the Bunch - Specialized Venge

January 2, 2012

I’m a big fan of any bike that has something unique about it. New, old, flashy, subtle…you name it. With the soaring popularity of cycling we’re seeing more different bikes on the roads than ever before. I’ve noticed some ridiculously beautiful machines rolling around and I thought I’d start sharing some of the nicer ones […]

Happy New Year! Bay Crits | Stage 1

January 2, 2012

The Bay Crits might be nothing more than a show-race in the big scheme of things, but with GreenEDGE’s debut and most of Australia’s top professionals first race of the season, this is something that can’t be missed!

100 Cols in 10 Days | The Cent Cols Challenge

November 11, 2011

Call me insane but my idea of a perfect holiday is one where a challenge is set and by the time I get through to the other side there’s a sense of achievement like no other. I want an experience that I’ve had to earn; something that no beach holiday can provide. I’ve heard lots […]

Inside the Crocodile Trophy

October 28, 2011

I’m extremely proud of all my mates who just completed the Crocodile Trophy throughout the past ten days. In particular, my good friend Brad Davies who rides with the Giant National Off Road team just won his M2 category and 8th overall! In addition, he wrote this post in-between the podium presentation and having a […]

Mongolia Bike Challenge - 10 Stages in 10 Different Worlds

October 27, 2011

I try to keep a road racing focus with this site and I’ll usually tell any mountain biker who tries to ambush us with their neanderthal ways to go back to his cave where he came from. However, once in a while I receive a gem that I can’t possibly pass by. Check out this […]
