Only cyclists would ride in 100% humidity for a few hours then suck down a coffee for refreshment. Never mind that your already dangerously dehydrated or that all you can taste is saline from your top lip. Coffee it is. I get the feeling if your ordered an iced coffee you might have your nicks ripped from your body in punishment. Might make for a cooler ride home.

Brisbane and Sydney are now locked in. Brisbane is set for next Saturday whilst Sydney will have wait till the first Friday in march. Spots are available at both. Contact us to get in on the action. Brisbane will get the special treatment with a bike fit Physio mate Dave sitting in.

Enjoy your riding and sweating. On cue, the rain starts for my ride home!

There is no question that this event is epic. I challenge any cyclist not to get those ‘good sensations’ just seeing all the bike bags piled up at domestic airports all around Australia.

It’s also a special event when you can be in and amongst all your cycling heros minus the body guards and barriers.

As always great to meet more cobra9 riders and do some km’s interspersed with coffee and wine. We will try and get back more often to do some more casting in the city of churches.

Now all I need is someone to explain to me how to combine the tour with your wife and two kids…..

It’s official. Cobra9 is coming to the tour down under. We will be holding a few sessions whilst watching the best in the business. Should also be plenty of time to sneak a few rides in as well. Maybe even a few big bold syrah as well.

We will also be holding a session at the end of January in Brisbane. Links for both sessions can be found in the upcoming casts section on this page.

Otherwise have a happy new year and try and moderate the champagne consumption in line with all the hard training you have been doing. The new years morning ride is often one of the toughest of the year.

The route through the glasshouse mountains makes for some picturesque scenery. Breakfast at Sweethearts Cafe at Eudlo is highly recommended. French Toast comes in handy before taking on the infamous Restaurant Hill.

A sneaky ride up Mt Wellington after an early finish to work. Still hurts all the way!

We are starting to wind down for the year but look like starting out strong with a presence at the tour down under. Most posts about this and other cobra9 news soon…..

New Cobra9 with new covers and graphics

All new orders will receive the updated version. A special deal for all existing cobra9 users will be announced in the new year.

Another week, more cobra9 podiums. This time it was all round strong man Adam taking second place in b grade at Ipswich. A strong final lap leading out paid off when he nearly took the win.
