In sharp contrast to previous years, Saturday August 9th dawned bright and clear for the 4th annual Winter Warmer. This is a weekend ride covering varying terrain over 250km of south east Queensland's best country side.  At 6:15 on Saturday morning the troops began to arrive and load the team support vehicle driven by Paul, our friendly `kiwi' driver. People looked rather nervous as they parted with their bags, wondering if they'd ever see their clothes again.  Paul had never been to Maleny, is obviously not a local and directions are not his forte!

If you're a Lifecycle club rider, you'll know its one of the greatest clubs around as you're able to ride with people of all standards from C grade all the way to Elite A and even Professional riders who travel and race all over the world. Its pretty cool wearing a jersey and being part of a team like this!
