Thomas McDonald shows his father Dean,the medal after winning Alpe de Buffalo Under 15 ITT
Finally I've finished editing the photos taken last week at the Junior Mountain Climbing Championships-Alpe de Buffalo.
Have a look at them in the Galleries I've created,I had lots of trouble with my wireless internet coming into Easter so only uploaded the last Gallery on Saturday
A bit of an update on the Mt Buffalo Challenge Competition is local cyclist Matt Clark became the new leader with a time of 49min 30sec, which will be pretty hard for anyone to beat. I've now also added the descent as a separate competition.You can see results underneath the climb competition.I rode Mt Buffalo on easter Sunday for the first time this year and managed the climb in 1hour 4min 30sec which is 1 min slower than my best time and then turned around and completed the descent in 21min 53sec.So far Shane Miller is leading the descent comp. at 18min 39sec.
I don't normally have much to say about Professional cycling here as there are many websites that specialise in the pro scene. However, watching Paris-Roubaix last night was so exciting to see Tom Boonen ride the last 55km by himself.The following group,including a number of Team Sky riders,were powerless to close the gap as Boonen powered away to his 4th Paris -Roubaix victory.
If you haven't seen any of the GreenEdge backstage pass videos,have a look at them,really gives you a feel for what goes on inside a professional team.Below is the Paris-Roubaix one but I really love the Milan-San Remo video they did, when Simon Gerrans won they just went ballistic.

Finally it was lovely to have my sister and mother out for dinner on Saturday night and we cooked up an excellent feed on the outside BBQ.Just lately I've become quite accustomed to lighting a fire then cooking on the coals,there is something very special about cooking on a fire.
