I see Chris Hoy has been knighted and will be Sir Chris. His team mates have also won awards in the new years honours. Good on the Brits they deserve their rewards for such great performances at the Olympics. Over the years Britain has had many champions in cycling but have never been strong …

Dave Sanders is coming up with some photos of himself with old Hilton racing. Davo said he had long hair and skinny legs. I can accept the long hair but I don't think Dave would ever have had skinny legs. Look forward to getting hold of these. We would like some photos of the …

In the morning we are leaving the Burvale at 7.00 am, a more respectable time of day as Bruce cannot get up and I don't mind anyway. Col gets up at 3.00am but he can play draughts with some American bloke for a few hours to fill in time. If I cannot ride an …

Getting like a roadie with another ride this morning. Not riding really hard so legs are okay and will keep it up for a few more days if weather dry. Going to watch the Bay Crits this year with no racing on for me, which is good. A lot of riders out on the …

This morning Michael Day & Dennis Bowen-Day asked me what my next hit out is? For Michael he is going to train for the Baw Baw Classic and Dennis is going to work on a faster 500TT which would then see him start faster in the 2000 metre pursuit. What are you doing? Me, …
