Spoilt for choice


Five races in 2 weeks… Murrarie, Crestmead, Lakeside, Murbah, Crestmead… there is such a huge variety of bike racing around SE Qld. And that’s just road… I haven’t even touched on the number of MTB events, Triathlon and Adventure races that start popping up at this time of the year.

They are invaluable in helping improve bike skills and gaining more experience.

Probably the highlights for me during the last 2 weeks were: (1) our team sprinter’s overall 4th place finish in the Crestmead series; and (2) my involvement in a 5 person breakaway at Murarrie! (Geez that hurt!)…

But then I also gained a lot from my DNF at Murbah last weekend too(a flat tyre from a thumbtack of all things!).

Sizzling races

Well race #2 at Crestmead certainly lived up to its name on Sunday.

It was a sizzling hot day... and the pace of all the races was pretty damn hot too!
I really enjoyed this series last year, but I believe that this year Logan Cycling Club have really done an even more superb job in their organisation of the race and facilities.

Looking forward to an even tougher race this coming weekend!
