A local annual event that gets a bit bigger and a lot harder each year. Went off scratch giving 21mins start to 3 schoolboys who no one saw again after they got up in 34 minutes ! Personally I had a severe case of "Post Bad Tour of Bright Anger" happening and got to half way in a touch over 10mins but faded to finish in 21:49. A new PB 3 years after I set my old PB so still improving at this beautiful sport !

Aaron Knight donned the Jersey for the classic hill suffer fest that is the Tour of Bright. Here's what he had to say:

My key race of the year that I had focused on since June. Good form, perfect weather, plenty of time in training on the race climbs had me keen to race hard in B Grade and hopefully go well...but .... I got a stomach bug 5 days out, the lead car went the wrong way on the first corner and caused a mass pile up, I missed the early break, then we got caught by Master 123 and our grade was neutralized behind them and it was race over !

So I went to my daughters' Ballet concert and instead of bailing after 10mins to go and do my TT , I stayed and watched her get a trophy..... that made me smile.

Jack Booth takes the win in the Under 15 Category of the 2011 State XC Championships.
"race plan was to sit behind the leader for the first lap and a half that all went according to plan less than a minute behind on the first lap and going into the second lap I was 1 minute and 30 seconds down worked hard and came out with the win a minute and a half in front.Pace was up in the laps much faster than i thought it would be.

Congratulations to the Fitzroy Revolution Boys that competed in this years Crocodile Trophy. Not only did the guys all manage to finish this years event but also managed a 3rd in the Team Classification, as well as a few podiums on stages to boot. Not bad considering the monumental task of just finishing this gruelling event.

Duncan Murray hadn't made it to this event previously and had heard many good things about it so was keen to give it a crack this year. Here's how he went:

It was good to see a different crowd and trails as well as a handful of old timers. The course was fairly straight forward but for some reason very taxing on the legs. I was in a 6hr mixed team and we were holding 1st/Category and 2nd/Overall for most of the day but the last lap came down to our girl vs their guy and as fast as Amity is she couldn't beat Australia's under 19 XCO champ so we slipped back to 2nd/Cat 3rd/Overall with 30 seconds to go on the clock.
