The hub for marathon mountain biking
Today brought a complete shake-up in the overall top rankings of the Alpentour Trophy: the lead group around yesterday’s winner Porro with Mensi, Pernsteiner, Lakata and a good dozen more elite riders takes a wrong turn and looses valuable time ahead of the second climb. Tony Longo, last year’s overall winner, claims today’s stage two […]
The 2016 Cross-Country Marathon (XCM) Mountain Bike World Championships are barely a fortnight away. This is the 3rd time the event has landed on French soil, and the town of Laissac is exceptionally proud to host the event after the Massif de l’Oisans hosted the Championships in 2006, and Ornans hosted the race in 2012. The […]
The Evocoties MTB Series arrived in 2015, linking some fantastic pre-existing events and a couple of new ones, in New South Wales Evocities. The events were linked as a way to draw mountain bikers to NSW’s regional towns, to experience the hospitality, what the local MTB clubs could offer, and some fantastic trails. But, what […]

With the breadth and depth of mountain bike stage races in South Africa, it should come as no surprise that the initiative can be found there. The inaugural Evox Tour de Femme, a ladies-only multi-day mountain bike experience, will […]
The Belgium Mountain Bike Challenge might only be 3 days but it’s impossible not to get wrapped up in it. Eat, race, eat, sleep, repeat. The post race depression quickly kicks in as reality strikes. No sooner had we finished the final 6 hour stage we were on the road driving the 8 hours back […]
The 3rd Port to Port mountain bike stage race is less than two weeks away. NSW’s premier mountain bike stage race offers four days of unique riding between Port Stephens and the Port of Newcastle. With routes that take in Awaba mountain bike park as well as the Glenrock trails, the stage race takes in […]
Tomorrow the fifth edition of the Belgian Mountain Bike Challenge, in short the BeMC, will kick off in La Roche-en-Ardenne. During three days and 260 km covering 7800 meters of climbing over 500 participants from almost 20 different countries will fight for the final victory. I’m currently sat in our accommodation with 2 nervous Brits, […]
Photos of our riding in Atherton by Robert Conroy – unless stated otherwise. The beautiful, unique and welcoming town of Atherton lies approximately a 90 minute drive inland and uphill from Cairns in the beautiful Tropical North Queensland region. It was set to be our first port of call on our Tropical Training Camp. The area is […]
Last month we noticed that the stage winning bike of Cannondale Factory Racing on stage 7 of the Cape Epic was in fact something different. This shot of Manuel Fumic laying his bike over through a corner highlighted that this wasn’t a standard Cannondale Scalpel. It was something new. And today, Cannondale have announced the release […]
