http://jonathanlovelock.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 18, 2014. The race is over. Thanks for the fun. I’ve had plenty of people asking me questions lately. Here. Note: You can tell all the old links on the right of screen need updating, but, well, nah, can't be bothered]. Friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances, Asian travel advocates and fine food purveyors. It is with great regret that I have to announce that I ain’t gonna be racing no more. My knee is f ked. Knees are rather important to cycling. My right knee is. What, but how?

JONATHAN LOVELOCK: March 2012
http://jonathanlovelock.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. This place is insane. At present I find myself sitting around conserving energy and consuming carbohydrates in preparation for 35 kilometres of self flagellation in the Oceania time trial championship this afternoon. It should prove to be a tough little affair, although there are only 10 starters for elite men, with ever lasting honour and lactic acid laced agony on the line, it will, like always, good, hard and hopefully fast (for me anyway). What makes Queenstown cool. The place...

JONATHAN LOVELOCK: September 2012
http://jonathanlovelock.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 17, 2012. Genesys Training Camp; day 6. Filthy, bordering on horrendous. There were six of us out riding around the windy flats near Deloraine, Tasmania. Nearle, Dyball, Jai, Sammy D, Matt from Launie Homes and myself. About an hour into our ride we saw some pretty horrid looking black clouds coming in over the Tassie highlands. We pulled over and chucked on our rain jackets, extra gloves, head warmers, pretty much anything we could. It was a smart move. All of the above. And some.

JONATHAN LOVELOCK: CharterMason, and what happens after cycling
http://jonathanlovelock.blogspot.com/2014/06/chartermason-and-what-happens-after.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2014. CharterMason, and what happens after cycling. Racing a bike is fun. Writing articles is fun. Working with big-arse organisations and helping them make crucial business decisions is also fun. A cyclist. A journalist. A consultant. All three require preparation. All three require communication. All three occur in high pressure environments where your arse is literally on the line [or the road]. I’ve done the first two. For me, it’s time to start the third. What if it was never.

Monday, September 22, 2014. Content Requires Context. And Coffee. Last Friday was a pretty darn good day. It started -like one or two of my insomniac days per week generally do- at 04:30. Second Mission: Head to the shed and jump on the bike. Third Mission: Get into my extensive routine of rehab and pilates. Fourth Mission: Make an omelette and get in to work. ShedBike (TM) aka the Rust Bucket, not for outdoor consumption. So, work… now I am working as a consultant for CharterMason. Well I’m there ...

JONATHAN LOVELOCK: June 2012
http://jonathanlovelock.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2012. Can only last for so long. It seems a bit of Borneo there, a touch of Japan here, all mixed up with some sprinklings of Queensland over the past 8 or so weeks have kept me hoping that I could just bypass winter. But no, not to be! Riding down Punt Rd this morning at 6am it really hit me. This. Is. Winter. Pitch black, wet (although not raining, luckily) and lonely. How long had I been trundling along down Punt/Beach Rd without a freakin light, in the dark! I eyed the apparent tem...

JONATHAN LOVELOCK: May 2013
http://jonathanlovelock.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 2, 2013. Bit of a Bingle. On saturday I got back from my training ride to get a call from Huon-Genesys team boss ACJ asking if I wanted to race the Battle on the Border the following week. Pat Shaw was sick and he figured I would be better for the hit out with Tour of Japan coming up. So yes, I said. Yes. Yes. Yes! There's lots to write about, and there's lots to say. But I'll keep it simple. CollarBump Right Hand Side. ACJ running the team is full of nothing but support as are my team mate...

JONATHAN LOVELOCK: January 2012
http://jonathanlovelock.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 23, 2012. From Bay Crits to Bunninyong, and All the Fun in Between. An account through the brain of a sleep and caffeine deprived cyclist is what follows. Were hot. stinking hot! Ripping out a few laps in the individual support race was on the cards and enjoying watching the elite guys get their internal temperatures up to a light simmer in the searing heat capped it all off. Nothing of merit for me. But my goals achieved, legs warmed up, lungs expanded, heart sufficiently stressed. So th...
