26/3/12 The first World Cup of the Season was held in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. It was logistically a hard one for us Aussies as the Oceania Champs were held on the weekend prior in New Zealand, then most of us stopped off home for 24hrs in b/w. So jet lag was always going to play […]
12/3/12 I was quite excited when I heard that the 2012 Oceania Champs were to be held in Rotorua, New Zealand. What better excuse to go and ride the trails in this place described as a MTBiker’s paradise! Of course the first few days of the trip, would be all business and riding restricted to […]
26/2/12 See footage of the event here The biggest race of the domestic season had arrived all too quickly. I had near perfect preparations leading into the event but this didn’t make me any less nervous!

1/1/12 Well I thought I’d start the year off with a memorable ride down the Mornington Peninsula. What a beautiful morning it was too with the sun shining and very little traffic on the roads around Redhill. I hadn’t ridden the undulating “corkscrew” in quite a number of years and hadn’t quite remembered how brutal […]
