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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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,

I thought I might as well post something new here because the last thing we did was the Grafton report waay back in October. Since there’s no racing really going on, I’ll take a moment just to have a bit of a ramble at how the beauty of cycling sometimes turns a little sour – [...]

I’m sitting here in the plane flying across the Bass Strait on my way back to Brissie after a long week of racing… and I’m slightly bored. Time to reflect on the last week’s action, I think! We had an awesome week, experiencing so much that you’d think we would have been away for more [...]

(Just a quick update on the last stage)
We have finished racing the Tour of Tasmania. This afternoon, we completed the final crit of the 6-day tour and so we are now on the way home! This morning, we packed everything up and – with heavy hearts – said goodbye to Annie. The final stage was [...]

Today we tackled, for the last time, two stages in one day. Stage 8 was a 30-lap crit on a 1.2 km course with a slight drag upwards on the back straight, while stage 9 was a 80 km road race over the hilly country around Ulverstone just west of Devonport. In the morning, my [...]

Aidan’s been in the paper!
Yesterday, I mentioned that we only have one stage today and that this seemed almost too good to be true. As it turned out… I was right. Today’s race was a 20-lap kermesse run in the neighbourhood around our motel on a 4 km circuit, on which there was one major [...]
