The hub for marathon mountain-biking
Having just landed in the USA for the 2013 racing season, it feels as though the next chapter of my 2013 journey has begun. Since my last post from Milan in January, a fantastic, joy filled time has been had, predominantly in Australia. Due to some delays with the processing of my US visa I [...]
Gday, Hola, Ciao, The past few months have seen some interesting travels and the collection of many more tales for the brew shop back home. I flew home to Sydney just before Christmas last year. This was a marvellous time reconnecting with friends and family in the Great Southern Land! Australia really is my favourite [...]
G’day, Amakhurro, Hej and Hola, The past few weeks have been a whirlwind since the Crocodile Trophy. Many miles in the plane, train, bus, car, skis and bike have brought me here to Alicante, Spain. The racing season which is usually in a gradual taper from September was extended somewhat for myself this year. Prior to the Crocodile Trophy [...]
Justin Morris recently took time away from his Team Type 1-Sanfoi road team to race the Crocodile Trophy with Subaru-MarathonMTB.com, hoping to capitalise on his experience from 2011. Sunny, Sweet, Sensational Sydney!!! It has been so great to be back in my hometown since mid July and my last blog post. Since then my life [...]
Stage 4, Irvinebank – Irvinebank. 106km, 2400m climbing A comfortable nights sleep with air conditioning and double bed in Atherton was ample preparation for what lay ahead in todays 120km stage of the Crocodile Trophy.

The Flight Centre Cycle Epic has long appealed to me as a bike racer. This was a pioneer event when it first appeared on the radar whilst I was still racing in the Juniour MTB ranks in NSW. A long distance MTB event! As the years have passed, my calendar finally aligned to grant me [...]
Summer time in the USA and the latest season of ‘The Bachelorette’ is heating up, with ‘Emily’ meeting the families tonight! Apart from quality TV viewing Summertime means many things to the locals here. Summer camp for the kids! Frappaccino’s for the starbucks frequenters, big money criteriums for the bike racers and ‘knee high by [...]
G’day Mates, Thank y’all for reading this latest blurb from the US of A. Since I last penned a blog many miles in planes, trains, vans, cars, buses and pushies (bicycles) have been covered. The month of May began as a spectator at my first ‘Major League’ Baseball game, with some Aussie and Seppo mates. [...]
It has been 3 months now of settling into life as a cyclist here in the USA, as I alluded to in my last pen piece the old dog body was a little worse for wear. With some awesome help from the team doctor here, the blood tests revealed low levels across the board. A [...]
Hello Legends!! It is nearly clicking over to 2 months USA time now for me and I sit here writing in an armchair with Starbucks complete with ‘creamer’ next to my portable computer, I feel as though I am absorbing many more traits of American culture day by day… Since I last wrote I have [...]
