A Decade of Dirt, The 2018 Pisgah Stage Race Wrapup

A Decade of Dirt, The 2018 Pisgah Stage Race Wrapup

The stage racing hangover is as real as any substance abuse hangover. Every part of the body aches, the sense of time and place is less certain than on a regular-day. And the mess you’ve got to clean up is substantial. But unlike any other hangover you’ve got all the memories from the incredible experience, […]

Johnston & Henderson take out AMB100 at Mt. Stromlo

The AMB100 has become a staple on the Australian XCM calendar, initially known for its extreme heat, today was to be an exception to the traditionally dry and hot conditions. A wintry change had hit Canberra on Friday evening dropping a few mm of rain, rare for Australia’s driest city. This left racers of the […]

Standish and Hill win final stage of 2018 LEITA

Standish and Hill win final stage of 2018 LEITA

The organisers of the 2018 Lasseters Easter in the Alice (LEITA) say that they keep the best trails for last. And after racing Stage 3, I’m inclined to agree. With another start at the Telegraph Station, today we were rolling out behind a neutral car back towards the highway, before a hard right hand turn […]

Ivory and Beck defend on Stage 2 at LEITA

After a deceptively tough Stage 1 at the 2018 Lasseters Easter in the Alice, racers lined up again for a much different Stage 2 at the historic Telegraph Station this morning for a 7am start. While this was the first building in Alice Springs, and the site of the original spring, since then the Telegraph […]

Ivory and Beck take line honours at 2018 LEITA

The first stage of Lasseters Easter in the Alice doubles as the opening rounds of the Australian XCM Series – so not only does the 75km race decide who takes the LEITA leader’s jersey into stage 2 tomorrow, it also denotes who leads the XCM Series ahead of the 2nd round – which is also […]
