10/9/12 We were treated with perfect conditions for the Bendigo 6hr enduro yesterday. It was officially my first ‘knicks and jersey’ race of the season and I felt strangely light after ditching the thermals, booties and jacket. An easy way to take a couple of kg’s off for sure! As well as the perfect weather, […]
2/9/12 Big congratulations to Solestar on their award at Eurobike 2012! A quality product for sure, and certainly one that I am proud to be a part of. This week I will be making up another 2 pairs for Olympic bronze medal winner Shane Perkins. He will take them with him to Japan and contest […]
21/8/12 I’m not sure if it was his new, super-light carbon 29er, or the fact that I may have mentioned once or twice about the growing size of his beer belly, but I had finally convinced Ed to stick on a race number and team up with me for the Castlemaine 6hr. It has […]
6/8/12 After having such an awesome time last year, there was no way I was going to miss the 2012 Paluma Push. So when race organiser Peter Gibson, invited me up north to support the race once again I jumped at the offer. The event has grown to be the biggest in the Northern […]
1/8/12 It was a great feeling to get selected into my first ever World Championship Team last week. However, despite many words of encouragement from my fellow MTB competitors, friends and family I have decided not to attend. I guess to outlay the money required to get overseas once again, I would want to be […]
18/7/12 A couple of weeks back now I loaded the car (AKA Jen’s ice-cream van), with both mtb and roadie, and drove the 7hrs or so up the Hume to Canberra. I had several aims of my week long stay, including catching up with a few of my Anytime / Trek teammates, checking out […]
3/7/12 On Tuesday last week it was finally confirmed to me that my dream of representing Australia at the 2012 Olympics was not to be. After coming home from my disappointing European World Cup campaign a few weeks ago, I have been, of course, resigned to the fact that the selectors would not look […]
25/5/12 It was a long 10hr drive from the Czech Republic into the French hills, where Round 4 of the World Cup XC Series was to be held. Travel is always that much harder when you are suffering with muscle fatigue, and an inevitable sleepless night following an all-out MTB race! We discovered pretty quickly […]
15/5/12 After a couple of solid days on the bike in Switzerland, Monday was a travel day. The 7hr journey into Prague, in the Czech Republic, was quite smooth traveling with only a few minor hold-ups due to road works. Once we got into Prague though, it was a different story. The city consisted of […]
10/5/12 The day following Solothurn Swiss Cup, I decided on making good use of the sunshine and beautiful Swiss hills on offer. So I packed some extra food in the back pockets and headed up the first climb into the clouds. The ride was certainly one of the most scenic and memorable rides I have […]
