what helps you to get on the bike when it is predicted to be only 5 degrees this saturday.  do you get inspired by seeing the picture of jeremy climbing the stelvio??? or are you motivated to ride on the day that your mate doesn’t, just so you can stay a step ahead.  it has been wet and it is still cold, but a perth winter is still better for riding than an english summer, so on your bike.

tomr teams – the teams for the tour of margaret river have been announced.  see the previous post to see how hard you need to train.  don’t worry if you are on the reserve list.  going by last years performance, there is a good chance that you will be called up as there are three months for riders to get sick, injured, or have work/family commitments.
