Comments

Brett commented on Shane Burgess's time: "Almost mate! Good ride."

Brett commented on Torsten Bunge's time: "Good ride Torsten, 5 attempts and getting better every time."

Brett commented on his own time: "Well, it's a start I guess. Watch the progress."

Brett commented on his own time: "Light drizzle of rain or was it sweat? Felt like I was going faster, apparantly not!"

Brett commented on his own time: "Thanks Rob, I think that time is a bit out of my league now. Maybe 8 or 9 years ago I might of had a pretty good chance but for now I think if I can go under 13 minutes again I'd be happy with that."

Hi Adam, Pete Saw this post and had to reply. Jon Christoff was my very first cycling coach. There is a classic story I always refer to when Charlie Walsh first approached me when I was 16 about joining the AIS. Shayne Bannan who is currently the head cycling coach of Cycling Australia was also there along with Malcolm Morris (the National Team masseur) for quite some time. I told them I already had a coach (Jon) and wasn't interested. It took a couple of years before Charlie would speak to me again :) Jon was a very giving person who donated alot of his time to believing in me, coaching me tactics and training from his chair (he had a severe stroke) and setting me up on my first bike (a Christoff) which took me 6 months to pay off. Mrs. Christoff made all my clothing in her home and without them I would never have gotten as far as I did in cycling. Unfortunately Pete, Jon passed away more than 15 years ago now. He was a huge part of the sport in the early days having helped many up and coming cyclists like myself. Adam, if you have a Christoff frame in good condition then you've got a real gem that is an iconic piece of South Australia's cycling history.

Hey guys I remember maybe 16 or 17 years ago Charlie Walsh had guys like me and O'Grady doing efforts up Corkscrew 10 times before finishing with another 100k after that. It was brutal.

Just wondering if anyone has seen the youtube videos of the 60 minutes program with Tyler Hamilton accusing Lance of drug taking. What's the verdict? Do you think he's telling the truth or not?

19 Oct 2009 11:12 PM posted in Giant vs Scott

I'm riding both a Giant and a Scott but for two different reasons. I just started riding a TCR Advanced SL 0 on the road and it's pretty awesome. I can vouch for lightness, stiffness and a bike that's comfortable and easy to handle. Hopefully it will win me a few crits this year after I lose the 10 k-g's I put on over the winter. As for the Scott I've got a Sportster P1. I've never had so much fun on a bike! For almost 30 years I've had tunnel vision riding the roads of the Adelaide Hills and never seeing the vast array of dirt roads, fire trails and single tracks off the side while riding my roadie. The Sportster is a cool bike if you want to do a bit of everything (road and off road).
