Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

December 20, 2010

I don’t know how Christmas snuck up so quickly. One day it seemed like we were talking about the World Championships and all of a sudden it’s now only few days before Christmas. I haven’t even thought about my gift shopping yet. To me, the perfect gift is some luxury I would love to have […]

Essential Reading | The Rider by Tim Krabbé

November 30, 2010

If there’s one book every cyclist should read, it’s The Rider by Tim Krabbé. Just like knowing the basic skill of how to fix a puncture, this should be mandatory reading for every cyclist. I’m ashamed to admit that it’s taken me this long to read it. I’ve never read anything that captures the essence of the pleasure, […]

Wattbike Review

November 22, 2010

Brett (the sales and marketing manager) delivered the WattBike to my place a few weeks ago so I could get to know the product. Since I grew up cycling in Canada I’ve done a lot of ergo training and know the benefits very well.

Power Balance Band - Does It Work?

November 3, 2010

Over the weekend in Noosa there was a massive triathlon expo with all sorts of gadgets that make those early adopter triathletes giddy with joy. The Mass Suit, Mighty Grip, Carbon Fiber wetsuits, headband headphones, Shimano Di2, etc. After I had my fun with the Mass Suit, the gadget that intrigued me the most was this Power Balance Band I’ve […]

Noosa Grand Prix

November 1, 2010

Images courtesy of pelotonImages.com except where noted On Saturday evening was the annual Noosa Grand Prix. The massive 7500 competitor triathlon was the main drawcard for Noosa this weekend, but the criterium featuring some of the best Aussie PROs was definitely a highlight. A top field of riders always shows up to this event and […]

There’s No Such Thing As Bad Weather, Just Bad Clothing…

October 19, 2010

It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a “cycling tip”. As you might have noticed, the more I race, the more I think of things to write tips about. Unfortunately I haven’t been racing much lately…I figure that a good one to follow up on yesterday’s Warny post is about how to dress for […]

What Bike Should I Buy?

August 23, 2010

If you didn’t make it to Ausbike on the weekend you really missed out. If you’re like me and love looking at all the different gadgets and product lines available in Australia you would have been a kid in a candy store. It was one massive bikeshop all under one roof. If you’re a newcomer […]

The BMC Impec Review

July 29, 2010

As many of you already know the reason I was able to swing my TdF trip was because BMC invited me to their 2011 product launch in Switzerland. It was like winning the lottery. I couldn’t think of anything more perfect since it also allowed me to get back to my primal MTB roots and […]

Passion, Performance and Powermeters

July 27, 2010

Australian cyclists have had a massive amount of success recently. Of course we can all give our opinions for the reasons behind this, but Rachel Neylan who is based in Italy with the AIS (under the Amy Gillett Foundation scholarship) looks deeper into the evolution of Australian cycling and gives her perspectives. As a side […]

Shut Up Legs

May 26, 2010

T-shirts have arrived! I’ve spent the evening packing them up and they’ll be sent out first thing in the morning. They turned out very well and I’m extremely pleased with the quality and fit that A’qto produced. Head over to their website to sign up for their kick-ass wheel competition. In order to fulfill some […]
