2011 is here and its time to get back on the bike and knock off a few of those Christmas pounds. With this in mind, some of the Cobra9 team headed to Mt Wellington for a punishment session. It’s a beast of a mountain with unrelenting gradients peaking towards […]

The picturesque “Rainbow Ride” held recently between the Byron Bay lighthouse and Currumbin Eco-village again featured some of the Cobra9 crew, returning to battle the tough 160km course that finishes with the testing Mt Tomewin climb. This year Hadleigh Milligan, riding for the Tineli team took out the honours in […]
The end of the year is rapidly approaching and we are reaching the final casting sessions for 2010. It has been an eventful year meeting all the new team members and managing to sneak a few races in as well. After all, what fun is working in the cycling industry […]
Well, what a weekend. The World Champs were well beyond my greatest expectations. The informed nature of the crowd, the unanimous support for all athletes (maybe a shade more for the Aussies) and seeing all those familiar names I have only heard uttered by Phil Liggett was a little unexpected […]

The Cobra9 team will be at both the World Champs in Geelong in September, and the epic one day classic Launceston to New Norfolk on the 14th of September. Any queries regarding Cobra9 orthotics are encouraged at both events. A few of the more ‘masochistic’ team members will enter the […]
A recent training ride ended with me descending a little too quickly and without my bike. A pair of torn Cobra9 bibs, shoes covers, vest and hammered helmet later I ended up paying a quick visit to my local radiologist. All clear with just some scratches and torn pride to […]
Winter is here and the demand for cold weather gear is rife. The mercury has dropped below freezing for my morning ride and roadside snow has made it’s first appearance. As unpleasant as the antarctic air may be, there is a certain satisfaction pushing uphill through snow drifts in peaceful […]
