Track Racing – finding a niche
Last night marked the fourth outing for me to the Dunc Gray Velodrome for the Race All Winter track series. On average I’m getting there every two weeks – if I had nothing else to do I reckon I’d be there every week. A couple of friends from triathlon – Alex and Tamara – came [...]

Happy days : bleeding lungs and a bit of biffo…
Friday is always a good day – the week is closing out and the weekend draws near. Friday is an even better day when it’s a lead up to going track racing. Like a teenager looking forward to seeing the girl he’s trying to get it on with, I spent most of the day with [...]

Anna Meares off to Beijing!!
For those that follow track cycling, Anna Meares has found form and made the grade for Olympic selection tonight with an impressive 11.189 sec for the flying 200m.
Meares is, going by track record (’scuse the pun), one of our best chances for a medal in the women’s track events but there’s been some concern/doubt over [...]

- Dr Sludge - farking brilliant puncture protection...
Pfschttt… Is there any more depressing sound – or feeling – of a tyre going flat from rolling over some bit of road debris. Nothing interrupts a good ride than having to fix a flat, and why oh why do they always seem to occur right when you’re running late on your way to work??

- NiteRider MiNewt.X2 - the sweet spot for bike lighting
The NiteRider MiNewt.X2 is a compact, high powered LED light that runs off a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. There are a few standouts with this light that out of the box will have you impressed. Firstly, the quality of the finish - this is a very well made light that has been well designed and thought through. Secondly, it's a very compact unit - the headlight itself is very small which makes it easy to find a place on your bars for it to live and the battery pack is nice and compact with a well designed velcro fastener. - Pedros Tyre Levers - my new faves
With nicely rounded corners and a very fat body, these levers set a new standard. Zero flex, no sharp bits and a good feel in the hand, I was surprised at how easily these levers prised my Conti tyres off. Two very big thumbs up. - Felt X-City - hassle free commuting...
This is a great bike, and if you commute and have never ridden a bike purpose set up for commuting, I'd encourage you to try it. - Electronic Dura-ace - in the flesh, and surprisingly good...
When it comes to electronic groupsets, I've thought "why bother" simply because I don't see how an electronic system is going to be singificantly better than a mechanical system. I was wrong. - Carnosine / Beta-alanine supplementation...
Looking for an endurance boost? Carnosine may be the answer... - Mother Energy Drink - nothing like the old one, exactly like Red Bull...
Tastes like Red Bull, but much cheaper...
