A Couple Of Things

Thanks to Scott for putting on a fun and challenging skills day out at Ipswich yesterday. We got to practice a few high speed dismounts/remounts. During which, I was trying to be a bit too pro and failed to unclip in time ending up cleaning up both of the practice barriers. He also took us on a ride around Limestone and Queens Parks, flying around the Sunday picnickers, up and down the hills, dips, stairs and paths was great fun.

If you need something to get fired up for the upcoming local cross races check out this video from Round 2 of the Specialized Cross Melburn race last weekend. Look at all those Crux!

Excited and need a cross bike? If you are a shorty maybe you would like to throw a bid on this Crux.

Cyclocross National Series on Cycling Central

If you are like me and visit every cyclocross related site every hour on the hour you would have already seen this. If not, jump over to Dirty Deeds and have a look at the video.

New Best Day Ever!

If you cast your eyes to the right, you will see we now have a sponsor in SRAM. New best day ever!

I also meet with our hosts, and can confirm that the guys and girls from Balmoral are very positive towards any cyclocross on their turf. So a big thanks go to them for hosting the race.

Awesome news like this has continued to sum up my last few days, and support from SRAM has been the icing on the cake.

Lastly but most importantly I have had a few people volunteer their time to help out on the day - thanks guys! If you think you will be free (even if it's only 30min) please let me know.

See you all at the Ipswich Cyclocross Skillz session on the 5th August.

Cyclcross Crew

After a bit a false start a few weeks ago, I have been given another chance to get a cyclocross race happening in Brisbane.

This time it will be on the 1st September at Murrarie, hosted by the Balmoral Cycling Club. Have a look at the updated race calendar.

To ensure that the event is a success, and open doors for more cyclocross, I will need to rally a few cyclocross fans to help out.

If you would like to get involved on the day with setup/pull down, time keeping etc it would be much appreciated. Don't worry you won't miss any racing!

Send me an e-mail (bradleyjnorman at gmail dot com) and I will get in touch.

Down But Not Out

It is with much regret, that due to factors not under my control, I have had to cancel the Darra Cyclocross race. The decision doesn't come easy as I have spent the best part of a year organising for it.

As a result, I am redoubling my efforts and sending lots of e-mails and making lots of phone calls. All in the hope, that another (even better) race can be put together.

In the meantime practice those skills and set your sights for the QLD Cyclocross Championships
