The Armstrong Era

June 5, 2011

A reader sent me this interesting Lance Armstrong infographic that many of you in Australia might not get to see. It doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know, but it visually puts into perspective what was going on in the 90’s and early 2000’s with the top riders in professional racing.

Our Beautiful Sport

May 24, 2011

It’s been a dramatic month in cycling. So much bad news has overshadowed all the things I love about the sport. Wouter Weyland, more Armstrong and UCI allegations, and now Xavier Tondo. If you look at the front page of cyclingnews today, a large majority of it is doom and gloom. All of this will […]

Milan-San Remo | La Classica di Primavera

March 21, 2011

Unfortunately I didn’t get to see Milan-San Remo because we were staying in the internet death zone of Victoria, but I found out about Gossy winning on the way to my own race yesterday. There couldn’t have been a more motivating way to start the day!

2011 Australian National Road Race Championships

January 10, 2011

I’m currently in transit back to home to Australia but I was able to catch the Men’s National Road Race via twitter. I just found some decent wi-fi in the airport and discovered in my inbox an unbelievable line-up of photos that catches all the action from James Broadway, Leigh Schilling, Jarrod Partridge and Beau […]

2011 Bay Crits #4 - Williamstown

January 6, 2011

Well that concludes the 2011 Jayco Bay Crit series and I’m disappointed that I missed it. Thanks to the talented photographers, Leigh Schilling, Jarrod Partridge, Leanne Cole and James Broadway, I still got to witness a piece of the action and make a few blog posts to make it look like I was there. Bike racing in […]

Otway Rainforest Ride

November 15, 2010

There are many things I love about cycling. I go through different phases of the sport but the underlying reason of why I’ll always ride is because of the way it satisfies my sense of adventure. There’s nothing like hopping in the car, driving out of the city, and exploring some backroads you’ve never been […]

3 Peaks Challenge | What Doesn’t Kill You…

October 30, 2010

This past weekend a group of us travelled to the Victorian Alpine region to take on one of the most challenging rides I’d ever set eyes on. Much harder than L’Etape and much harder that the Warny. This was no Around the Bay in a Day.

Hushovd Defies the Odds!

October 4, 2010

What a race yesterday! All I can say is…WOW! There was action straight from the start with the 5 unknowns attacking early and gaining 23mins all the way through to the final corner where the bunch came back together which resulted in a bunch sprint. It was a once in a lifetime spectacle in the unlikely location […]

U23 Road World Championships AND Hot Lap Competition!

October 1, 2010

I’ve had Matthews on my radar for a few years now. I first remember him a short 3 years ago in at the Tour of Bright. I was climbing up Mt. Hotham in the A grade groupetto and then a break away of B-graders came flying past us led by Matthews. B-Grade passing us big […]

Ballarat Cycling Classic - World Champs Warm-up

September 26, 2010

Yesterday we were given a rare treat on our local country roads. The best cyclists in the world lined up in Buninyong on the same course as our National Championship circuit in lead-up to next week’s main event. There were more Italians hanging around here than on Lygon street during a soccer match! I’ve raced […]
