This morning I joined Alexis on Monday Breakfast for the Random Tandem. We spoke to Rupert Guinness, a Sydney journalist, who has just brought out a new book ‘What a ride’. He covers the tour from 1987 when the first Aussie competed ‘Phil Anderson’! He shares wonderful anecdotes about his experience watching the tour and has the gift of perspective.

Sydney’s first Tweed run gets off to a stormin’ start. The best dressed ride I’ve been on for a while! Rain didn’t dampen spirits, merely added to the authenticity of the occasion. Lots of handlebar moustaches… nice!

This week I speak to Geoff Huntley about his most recent cycle touring trip to India on 18a UNICYCLE! One 36″wheel and 500kms of unforgiving roads below. He toured in a party of 6 (all unicyclists!) which included Australians, French and Canadians! Some lovely stories about how people reacted to him emerge.

This week I interview Pete McDonald, Australia’s current National Road Cycling Champion. He had a stunning, exciting victory where Michael Rogers, three times world champion, was left eating his dust. Just five years ago, Pete worked as a bicycle messenger in Sydney’s CBD… no wonder he got good at sprinting fast! The National Road Championships lasted a gruelling 4hr 10min 34sec, along a course of 163.2km at Buninyong, near Ballarat. His victories don’t stop there, since picking up the National champion jersey, Pete has won the Tour of Wellington! Who knows what victories lay next in store!
