Saw takes emotional win on 2nd Stage of Croc Trophy

The true Crocodile Trophy starts on day 2, with a neutral start from the Esplanade in Cairns, before the race starts properly at the foot of the climb to Copperlode dam. It’s not an easy stage. In fact, I think I said numerous times today that it’s one of the hardest point to point mountain […]

Bulls reclaim the lead with stunning stage win.

Stage 4 of the 2014 Bridge Cape Pioneer Trek international stage race was always expected to deliver a shake-up; and it didn’t disappoint.

The 20th Crocodile Trophy is now just around the corner  – and the stage plans have now been finalised. Gone are endless days of dirt roads with corrugations, the back to back days of 7hrs in the saddle, and the camps where you’re given a shovel for when nature calls. The race now tackles the […]

Perskindol Swiss Epic – Stage 5 – Grächen to Zermatt 60km

A week ago I arrived in Switzerland, meeting race partner Stu for the first time in the baggage reclaim. Having not ridden with Stu before I was a little apprehensive to say the least. While I wasn’t at the Swiss Epic for a “result”, I still wanted to push myself and do well and a […]
