Grafton to Inverell 2011

Yesterday, Aidan and I completed the Grafton to Inverell. For Aidan, it was his second go after his first try in 2009 (last year he sat out after his crash at the Melbourne-warrnambool). For me, it was my first time and my longest race by about 70 km. Yes, I was nervous.
The race started [...]

2011 Cunningham Classic

The Cunningham classic has traditionally been one of my favorite races of the year. Over the last two years, I’ve raced it as an Under-19 and it’s always been an awesome event. This year, I’ve had to retire from junior racing and so what awaited me was a 167km journey – the longest race I’ve [...]

(Foodworks) Team Series Round 3 Road Race

After a quick and chilly (2deg) 30 min drive from Miles to Chincilla for the start of the Round 3 Road Stage we had plenty of time before the race started. Luckily this time allowed for the temperature to increase. After relaxing in the sun for a while we readied ourselves for the 150km race [...]

Canberra Tour stage 4

The last stage of the tour was by far the hardest. 130km starting and finishing once again at Stomlo Forest Park. The weather was perfect. A little cold before the sun came out but once that happened it was a great day. No wind to speak of. I was not feeling great for the first [...]

Tour of Canberra – stages 1-3 report

Stage 1 was a one hour crit on Friday afternoon. The purpose built crit circuit at Stromlo Forest park has no real corners and is much like Nundah (my least favourite place) back home. With 115 starters there was potential for the race to blow up completely. However, with relatively no wind this was not [...]

Mersey Valley Tour 2011

I’ve been down in Tassie for the last few days for the Mersey Valley Tour and, surprisingly given my prior experience with Tassie; it hasn’t been a race for hard men. At least, not in terms of the weather… it’s been sunny, reasonably warm and not windy. It hasn’t even snowed!
Wow.
Racing-wise, this event is really [...]

Foodworks Teams Series Rnd2 – Finish from UQ Cycle on Vimeo.
We had our own little Paris Roubaix today for the second race in the QLD Foodworks Team Series.
It was a dry, 130km road race on some narrow, sketchy roads that were full of potholes and cow-dung.  Most of the course was flat however [...]

Foodworks Teams Series Rnd 1

So we have raced  round 1 of the Foodworks series and it was a fantastic event.  The team really rode well together and we were very happy with our result, finishing in 6th position for the day.  A big thanks to Pirate who stepped up and joined the team for the event, he buried himself [...]

Website update

Hi Everyone
During the next few weeks I’ll be updating the website for this year. Expect it to be a little all over the place until I get it all sorted.
Cheers,
