22/7/13 I should really have updated my blog before now; however since my trip to WA and just a couple of days in Melb before taking off to Townsville I am only just catching up! The Junior Development Camp held in Pemberton last week tuned out to be a huge success. Tony Tucknott did a […]
17/7/13 Well the last week seems to have flown by in a whirl-wind. I have been way out west in WA spending some quality time with some quality people riding some quality trails! The Tucknott family were kind enough to have me stay at their place for much of the week, giving me ample […]
1/7/13 BACK IN ORANGE I am happy to announce that I am now back racing as part of the Torq Team. It was exciting yesterday, to be racing in full Torq kit and aboard the Cube “rocket ship” equipped with Sram XX and RockShox forks. I headed out to Upper Beaconsfield to race the first […]
24/6/13 I don’t think us Melbournians can complain too much about the recent spout of frosty mornings. The day’s sunshine more than makes up for the many layers of clothes required to get out the door. Yesterday I had pleasure of enjoying the trails out at Lysti with a group of enthusiastic triathletes. Steve […]
17/5/13 I’m mighty glad I chose to ride this last stage. Rapid Ascent had chosen to save some of the best trails for this last day. The sweet single track certainly put a smile on my face and reminded me just why I love this sport so much! Today gave me a chance to […]
16/5/13 ICME STAGE 5 Stage 5 was a race against the clock. The 23km Time Trial loop started from the picturesque golf course and included mainly fast sections of fire-road and 4wd tracks, with a little single-track thrown in. Riders were set off at 30sec intervals, in reverse order on the general classification. This […]
15/5/13 STAGE 3 ALICE Beginning at the old Telegraph station, this stage started with some fast fire-roads that then narrowed into some rough 4wd tracks. From around the 6km mark the course turned into a mtbikers heaven, with an endless maze of single track and just a few 4wd sections thrown in. Unfortunately it […]
13/5/13 STAGE 1 ALICE Stage 1 of this year’s Ingerreke stage race was certainly fast and furious! The unseasonal rain in Alice meant those soft sandy sections had turned more hard-packed and were not so much of a hard slog to ride through. This didn’t mean the racing was any easier however, just more speedy! […]
11/5/13 I am typing this whilst on board a flight headed to Alice Springs. I chose the Ingerreke MTB Stage race as my last event for the Summer Season. Perhaps just hoping to extend that sunshine out a little bit more before the reality of Melbourne winter hits! While I’m sure the racing will […]
24/4/13 2 weeks prior to this year’s Marathon Champs I had actually decided against competing. Mentally I needed a break from the stresses of racing and my body had been showing signs of physical exhaustion. I had, however already booked flights and accommodation and to cancel these would have cost me. So Ed and […]
