First of all, can I start with a massive thank you to everyone (riders, event marshals and volunteers) who came out to support our club tour on the weekend. The general consensus seamed to be that everyone had a good time racing. We had a number of riders come from other clubs and their responses were very positive and they certainly indicted that they would love to Read More...

GCC is rarely privileged to have a Mentor such as "The Ken" to light our way in the socially fraught world of "Bunch Riding". The following may help you avoid some of the pitfalls.

Bunch Riding with “The Ken”

Despite the underwhelming response to my first "Blog" I will persist. The following report was available within the Ross Bush Memorial Race Report but may have been missed so here it is again.

Background.

Saturday September 6, 2009 marked the eleventh running of “The Bushy” to mark the training death of talented, respected and much loved cyclist and triathlete Ross Bush in 1998. This race is far and away Geelong Cycling Club’s biggest event wiRead More...

Greetings All,

Thanks to Geelong Cycling Glub Web Master, Simon I have graduated to the world of the "Blog" and let me tell you I am barely able to type with excitement. This is an astute move by Simon as I now have a place to air my world view independent of him.

Simon has struggled with the various contributions I have made to the Web Site, understandably as he no doubt felt the need to distance himself from the thoughts expressed. Clearly this is why Simon is "The Web" MasteRead More...

Your Community - 100 Members Strong!

Thanks everyone! GeelongCycling.com just got our 100th member since the site was relaunched in January of this year. Not that I can profess to knowing each one of the site’s members I would suggest that the vast majority of members actually ride a bicycle either competitively, recreationally or socially. So if you think that 100 might not seem like a significant number at first, try thinking about it in terms of if each one of these 100 members turned up to your local training bunch at the same Read More...
