Tour of NZ stage 4

25 February 2012

Today was a ripper day for the VIS crew. It went to plan perfectly, which is a rare thing for bike races. Too much to write, but very briefly: Jo got in the perfect break with GC contenders from all the major teams. Luckily this meant that the main bunch was happy to sit up [...]

Tour of NZ

24 February 2012

Just a quickie because bandwidth here is hard to come by (I think the Palmerston North exchange might have taken offence at my earlier post)… We are 3 stages down out of 5 in the Tour of NZ. Team VIS is going well – Jo ‘inaugural Jo Hogan Award recipient’ Hogan is sitting 10th on [...]

This is a short video – not mine – but one that I think is worth sharing. It’s beautiful!

The Roadie Project

Here’s a little video I made for SCODY that I thought you might be interested in. I’ve mentioned The Roadie Project before, and now seems a good time to bring it up again. Basically, the Roadie Project attempts to answer the age-old question, Can a roadie race on the dirt… and survive? It’s a question [...]

Wildside

I wanted to make a clever pun out of Wildside for this post title, but CyclingTips beat me to it and, frankly, that was all my comedy options take— wait, wasn’t it in Tasmania? How serendipitous. There is nothing that gladdens the heart of an Adelaide native more than finding another state to pick on. And, given that [...]

BASE Camp March 2012

Most of you will know by now that I am a big fan of pilates. I go to Marcus Speed’s classes at Perfect Pilates in Brunswick as often as I can (which is never as often as I’d like!) Marcus is a cycling guru and his classes are nice and specific for me… none of [...]

Thumbnail image for Lisa’s Mum presents: Snow Whitey and the 7 Dwarfs (aka her review of the TDU) 23 January 2012

Once upon a time there lived a directeur sportif named Snow Whitey. Snow Whitey was a beautiful creature, and could often be seen around town, her mane of blonde hair and curiously prominent ears turning heads at every café. Snow Whitey lived in the kingdom of Garmin with an evil stepmother called Jonathan Vaughters. One [...]

Lisa’s Mum’s guide to the Tour Down Under

Thumbnail image for Lisa’s Mum’s guide to the Tour Down Under 17 January 2012

Lisa’s Mum loves the Tour Down Under, mainly because she has a small crush on Andre Greipel and enjoys seeing Adelaide drivers being forced to be nice to cyclists for a week (hoons in Adelaide are nothing if not economic rationalists; even the dumb ones like a tourist dollar). However, as an Adelaide local, eager [...]

New bike!

16 January 2012

I’ve just picked up my new MTB from Apollo- an Arctec M. It is a beautiful bike- carbon frame and SRAM XX running gear. Can’t wait to try it out! I’ve said it before, but it is a luxury to have such beautiful equipment to use. We women cyclists may be underpaid and under-acknowledged in [...]
