Trek Fan
A mysterious girl keeping cool on a hot Canberra night (with my Trek Japan fan).
Shiny Silver
Silver looks nicer than bronze. It was good to take some home.
Swapping Off
Racing for 2nd with Dan Maca in the Short Trac was cool. We always work together well with no 'funny business'.
Laying It Over
Laying it over on a berm in the Nationals Short Track. Backing up from the previous day's XC, I felt more like laying it down.
Jelly Legs
The legs were jelly before the Nationals XC. A double wammy - first race nerves plus Nationals nerves. But the jelly wore off by the time I hopped on the podium.
Rocky Road
Testing the Trek OCLV carbon on the Stromlo rocks at Nationals. It held up well of course.
Hammer Head
The infamous Hammer Head was scaring people for some reason. But it's one of those sections that draws a crowd and gives riders something to talk about.
Shop Lifters?
How dodgy do these two look! Sydney (or is that Brisbane) folk think they can get away with anything when interstate.
Convict Day
To celebrate this great day - the day of the original boat people - I had to hook up and show off some stylish attire from Big W.
Air Time Loses Time
The Thursday night CORC dirt crit's always good for racing 100%, but relaxed and fun (if there is such a thing).
Party Tricks
What are you doing 'Rebecca'??
Hangin Ten
Hendo and I ready to carve it up. Or is that to get carved up?
Hard Hitting
Even Power Rangers go through rough patches.

Health Freak
The winning Aussie diet.
Beach Boys
This is what I've missed.
Exposed
35 degree heat's good when there are trees around. Stromlo's 2m trees don't cut it.
The Ridge
Hendo and I on the top part of Stromlo's techo climb. Nice and rocky.
Growth
Stromlo's getting some green around the place now. Looking less like Arizona now.
Wearing Out
Stromlo's sandy soil cuts though drivetrains like they're butter.
Who?
The mystery men hitting up the Stromlo trails.
Regular
Dougie on his 500th Stromlo ride for the year.
Sydneysiders
The RockStar and KOM guys came to check out all the trails on offer in Canberra. Ivan the big Czech powerhouse didn't hold back, trying all the big drops and gaps on Stromlo.
THE Ute
Micko's latest project by Paton Performance.
Sheepish
No comment.
