Brisbane racing

Just a note to anyone keen on a few races in brisbane, as well as saturday
crits at Murrarie there are a few new things happening. HPRW has started the
summer season with (almost) alternating races at Lakeside and Nundah
Saturday mornings at 7am.

Also KangarooPoint/VictorBroncos are running crits at Nundah every Sunday
morning A grade at 7am, B grade 7:45 C grade 8:30am.

Also anyone keen on entering the Giro Di Brisbane Nov 13? Abby that's out
your way isn't it - Carina? Sounds like a good event!

Thanks for that Adam. I was just thinking that the Melbourne folks have
all the fun.

I wish there was a mid-week crit in BrisVegas. Up in Cairns the Airport
crits on Wed. nights are very popular.

Has anyone looked for a crit site on the south side of Brisbane? What
about Rocklea or Archerfield somewhere?

HPRW are running a twilight series starting January 25 on Wednesday
nights at Nundah. A good way to let of some work stress!

There were crits running in the industrial estate at Crestmead but the lack
of numbers stopped it. They have races down there occasionally.

Hey adam!!

I'm missing the Giro coz I'll be up in Caloundra, camping out under the
stars for the weekend... Didn't realise the date clash until way too
late 🙁

To top it all off, I tore my left calf muscle (yooooooowwwwwwwwwwch!!)
while out on a r#n last night, so me thinks my cycling will be soft,
poncy, easy commutes for the next week or so to let it recover...

Ouch! I did the same thing a few weeks back in a race, cramped up and
did some damage. I found *reallly* easy cycling to work helped and it
came good in a week or two. Hope it heals fast mate..

Caloundra? Stars? I laugh in your general direction.

I only ever saw smog and/or light pollution.

Coming from someone who lives in Melbourne, I find this strange.

I think I am just bitter about Caloundra because of the horrible
weather up there. Why anyone would prefer Queensland to Melbourne, I
do not know 🙂

We amateur astronomers knew it as "beautiful one day, raining the next".

I feel your pain. I've recently learned that bike only for a few months and then back into r%nning is a recipe for calf disaster unless you stretch those pesky things regularly and ease back into it. I tore my left calf 3 weeks ago, so preparation for Noosa this weekend (just doing bike leg in team only as no running for a while) has been "hampered" shall we say.

Here's a bit more info on the Giro Di Brisbane

It's a pity the support races won't be run on the road course only the elite
race. Should be good to watch though as part of the Italian Festival they
are running.

That's three of my mates in the past month or so. Good work guys. Hope
you're all healing well.
