Until April 17th 2010 we are running a promotion on a selection of our mountain bikes so you can enter the Avanti Plus 6hr Enduro race and know that you are equipped for the event with a bike and some parts that you can get for a great deal (as per the flier above). An online entry form for the race can be found here

It is stocktake time and we are keen to talk deals on 2007 models.

Jack, Alex and myself have been spending our time planning for the upcoming 24hour Mountain Bike Challenge on the 21st and 22nd of April. Held at the Kooralbyn Hotel Resort the 24hour has become an annual highlight for many on the Queensland Mountain Bike calendar.

It rains so little these days that it always comes as a pleasant suprise when the heavens do finally open. One problem with having such infrequent wet weather in Brisbane is that when it does arrive we often don't have the proper gear to keep us on the bike.

Are you staring out the window at the rain instead of training? 

The Lifecycle crew would like to welcome Matt Hopper to the team. A professional triathlete competing on the ITU world circuit Matt brings a wealth of triathlon and cycling knowledge to the showroom floor at Lifecycle. An all round nice guy and one of the fittest buggers we know Matt has slotted right in with the rest of the staff.

This weeks shop ride will be the Nudgee Loop. We will depart at six thirty Saturday morning and ride the 45klm at a steady pace between 25-28klm/hr. We will be back into the city about eight o'clock and will stop at "Euro Cafe" for breakfast.

Come along its a great time of year to be riding.

Saturday 26th August will be our "Mt. O'Reilly King of the Mountain". 

Mt O'Reilly's rd. is situated in the Samford Downs and is without question the steepest hill in all of Brisbane. This the 4th Mt O'Reilly King Of the Mountain that we have held and at this stage only 5 riders have conquered the mountain.

Honour Roll

To join the prestigous honour roll you must ride to the top of Mt. O'Reilly's rd. without stopping. Less than 10% of people who try make it, so come on out and get amongst it!

To all those who turned up today for the cigar ride we apoligise for the last minute cancellation of Kimble who couldn't make it. We are now re-scheduling the "cigar ride" for a later date. So put the cigars in the humidor and breath easy for another week, we will help Kimble celebrate the birth of his daughter when he is back on his feet.

Here is a blog well worth a read. Its about a guy called Eric and his trip to Cairns. He writes very well and you may also be familar with one or two people in his stories.
