Topgear Cycles sponsored athlete Paul Attard is currently racing in the USA and here is one of his race reports.
Vineman is held in the Sonoma County in the North of California. This is a big region for Wine with many vineyards and spectacular scenery. I had a very interesting week where I travelled on my own to the race so everyone I met was completely new to me. Except for Michelle the Kiwi and her mum Gail who I had met three weeks earlier at Texas.
I hitched a ride up with Kyle who was from the TCSD. We left on the Wednesday so we could give ourselves plenty of time to get there with no stress. It was good to share the ride with someone who knew their way (more…)

This mountain bike race has got to be one of the toughest races on the MTB calander. 100km long with lots of climbing [over 30% gradient on some climbs! ...according to my Garmin] and every type of terrain thrown in for good measure.The race starts in Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road and finishes at the small inland town called Forrest.
The crew from Topgear Cycles was well represented with Bryce and Garath leading the charge after some great results early this year. Nick , John and Mark were all newcomers to the event but all managed to get across the line in there longest ride to date.
If you want a huge challange then train up for this event next year. It is one of the best races on the callander.
This years winners in the 100km were ,
Mens; Adrian Jackson
Womans ; Judith Arndt

Come on down to the shop and get some tips from Brad to get you powering on the bike!

What an amazing week at the Tour Down Under it has been. Check out our pics from the race in the next couple of days.
Congratulations to the organisers of the TDU for putting on a race that would rival the atmosphere of any race in Europe. The crowds on Willunga Hill were going nuts when Cadel attack in his world champs jersey.
Great crowds line the streets all week long. One of the best things for me is that Lance didn’t dominate the press as he did last year as the race had so much action he was just another rider . Hopefully you get the chance to go over and experience this race for yourself.
