Well another year has come and gone in my world of Para cycling. We have finished the road racing season for the year, at least here in Australia. For me what started off as a pretty ordinary season ended spectacularly with my wins in South Africa. I still have not committed to Tokyo 2020 because [...]
What an amazing week it has been! At the beginning of the year my goals were to 1 win the World Cup Series but number 2 more importantly win back my World Champion Stripes in the Road Race. Well I at least accomplished one of them…and the stripes were the most important. There is always [...]
The last 6 weeks seem to have gone by in a blur since arriving home from Europe. I must say though that the weather certainly was better in Europe and I had to adapt back to the cold and wearing multiple layers while riding. Then the dreaded lurgy hit me full on, the head cold [...]
My two months in Europe came to a close with the 3rd World Cup which was held in Emmen, Netherlands. I had some great training in the lead up to this last World Cup for the year and was really looking forward to racing. Hannah and I took 2 days to drive from Italy to [...]

Life is funny sometimes, you can prepare, have plans and know what direction you want to be headed and then life can throw you a curve ball! The first two World Cups of the year and been raced with some very mixed feelings and results for me. I've had one thing left on the bucket [...]
I have just finished racing at the 1st World Cup of the 2017 Para Cycling road season in the City of Maniago in Italy and thought I would give you a short history lesson about the area now that I have a day off. Maniago is located at the foot of the Friulian Dolomites in [...]
With only 4 days until the 2017 International Para Cycling competition begins I am really excited about another year of racing. You see I never get tired of racing and the joy of catching up with other cyclists from around the world. It will be the first time we have all caught up since Rio [...]
