Totally Rad Friday - Venge Abuse

Oh dear... not sure what to make of this poor Green Jersey Venge found on Weight Weenies earlier this week.

I feel so sorry for this Venge, it never even stood a chance!

Single speed, check. Flat bars, check. Shallow alloy wheels, checkity check. What else can we do to ruin this?

I have to say, streamers on the bars are a nice touch, would have been better in green.

More 'bad' than 'Rad' with this one I'm affraid... have a great weekend.

Rapha Gentlemen's Race - Melbourne 2012

Over the weekend the Wolf Goat Pack had the privilege of taking part in the Rapha Gentlemen's Race - Melbourne 2012.

Goat Pack Regional President Todd was invited by his good friends at Rapha Australia to captain-up and submit a team to take part in the race. Against better judgement, Todd assembled a crack (crap?) team made up of the best (only) riders the Goat Pack had to offer.

Sufferfest - Taka's 2012 3 Peaks Challenge

Last week our resident Wolfpack doctor, Stephen 'Taka' Chan completed the 2012 3 Peaks Challenge. He was kind enough to write an account of his experience.

3 Peaks Challenge:

The ultimate cycling sufferfest in Australia

Last weekend I survived one of the most challenging cycling sportifs in Australia, if not in the world. This 235km circuit encompasses the Victorian Alpine National Park, including climbs to a couple of the most picturesque Alpine resorts Victoria has to offer - Falls Creek and Mount Hotham.

The Victorian Alps has been the training ground of the new GreenEdge Pro Tour team and other Australian Pro riders this past summer.
