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…)

What started as a casual conversation about watching the 2010 Tour de France, turned into a trip of a lifetime following the 3rd largest sporting event in the world.
With Europe being in the grip of the soccer World Cup and French politics in turmoil with scandels and the banning of the Burqa , the Tour certainly was’nt front page news until the 2nd week.
Our group of 4 ventured to the Haute Savoie region of France with bikes packed with the hope of riding some classic Tour climbs. (more…)

See instore now . All road bikes reduced while the Tour de France is on.

We welcome Zeke to the Topgear Cycles team. Zeke has joined us recently as a Bicycle Mechanic.

He is a keen Mountain Biker, joining us most Tuesday nights for our MTB ride. Come down and say hi to Zeke next time you are in and share in his enthusiasm for everything BIKES.

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
