No Cheese: How I saw the National Championships - Bright, Vic, 2014
http://byoung4life.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-i-saw-national-championships-bright.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. How I saw the National Championships - Bright, Vic, 2014. Crossing the line to begin the last lap it was broadcast that Damien Jones (Hampton Cycles) and myself had moved up through the field and were now in a wheel-to-wheel battle for 2nd place. We were 40 minutes in, at the lowest part of the course, facing the series of climbs that picked their way up the first 3 to 4 km of the 6km loop. The final hairpin to the finish line. Back in the Day. May 12, 2014 at 10:14 PM.

No Cheese: Ollie and I take on the 2013 Hellfire Cup
http://byoung4life.blogspot.com/2014/01/ollie-and-i-take-on-2013-hellfire-cup.html
Saturday, January 4, 2014. Ollie and I take on the 2013 Hellfire Cup. With logistics and accommodation arranged it wasn't long before we were signing in. The opening stage was a mass start of chattering pairs teams ready to stake their claim on the event. Heavy rain had fallen through the night making the trail conditions greasy, but this had not dampened any of the collective enthusiasm for the 25 kilometre stage. The single track approach to the race village. Ollie on the lead-out lap. Racing with Olli...

No Cheese: You Yangs Yowie, 2013
http://byoung4life.blogspot.com/2013/11/you-yangs-yowie-2013.html
Saturday, November 9, 2013. You Yangs Yowie, 2013. The climb up Lactic offered the usual pressure to not screw up. I miss-timed the early boulder step-up and dropped the bike, clambering aside while Brett rode past, then jumped back on in pursuit. I kept in touch through the remainder of the climb, and the next couple of descents and climbs, however, as we pedalled on the gap to Brett's wheel kept increasing. Leaving the more technical side of the You Yangs, it was onto the flatter, Kurrajong side.

No Cheese: Racing 50km through the Wombat State Forest
http://byoung4life.blogspot.com/2015/05/racing-50km-through-wombat-state-forest.html
Monday, May 4, 2015. Racing 50km through the Wombat State Forest. I got to the line to see Sam already across but drop to the ground as cramp plucked him from his bike. We were 7th and 8th in outright placings, my reward for hanging in there with Sam was a category win. Sam was just outside the podium places for his category. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

No Cheese: Forrest 6 Hour - May 2013
http://byoung4life.blogspot.com/2013/06/forrest-6-hour-may-2013.html
Saturday, June 29, 2013. Forrest 6 Hour - May 2013. Chris rounding the final turn to the finish line. Chris and I decided to do a single lap each and then move into double laps for as long as we felt was effective. I finished the opening lap and handed on to Chris, then watched him rapidly disappear up the pit lane ascent. This gave me just under 22 minutes rest before Chris appeared out of the final corner setting us up for the commencement of double laps. Thanks Chris for another fantastic pairs race!

No Cheese: Mt Buller XCO - National Round 2
http://byoung4life.blogspot.com/2014/02/mt-buller-xco-national-round-2.html
Sunday, February 23, 2014. Mt Buller XCO - National Round 2. Adrian walks from Start Grid after passing on last minute advice. Climbing through the third lap I caught some more of the veteran field that had started a couple of minutes before us, driving hard from the exit of the last switch back climb up to the Family Trail to get onto the rear wheel of Adrian Scott for the open road traverse of the alpine village. Is so good at prescribing. Thanks Jen! Wonder what the view is like a little higher up.

No Cheese: Surfcoast 100 - same game, different format
http://byoung4life.blogspot.com/2013/12/surfcoast-100-same-game-different-format.html
Sunday, December 1, 2013. Surfcoast 100 - same game, different format. It was great to be standing on the second tier of the Surfcoast 100 Masters podium at Anglesea. The race was a key part of my training program in more ways than one, the biggest factor was completing a 100km race, a distance that I had not hit for quite some time. Those last two laps were a real test of motivation over fatigue. Hanging onto second place in Masters was a pleasing reward. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
