Chula Vista Update - Sarah
As you may know, I went down to Wellington, the night before I flew out to USA for the opening of the new BikeNZ building. I arrived in the afternoon where I went to the NZOC to meet some people there. While I was there, I did an interview in the new Olympic Museum with a TV One crew for the...
Found the sun - Sam
It’s now Sunday evening and unlike last week when I was sitting in the lounge next to an open fire keeping warm this week we are on the patio on our deck chairs drinking our bedtime hot chocolate .The weather has been clear blue skies and beautiful sunshine for the past few days. The...
The big climb too Schliersee - Kris
Well that was one of the hardest courses I have ever done!! In the weekend I raced a international ITU race in Schliersee, which is in the south of Germany. I've always wanted to do this race but things have always conspired against me and the timing was never right. But as I was cutting down on...
Des Moines World Cup - Bevan
Ok I know, before I start, I seem to be making a habit finishing 2nd and the world cup race in Des Moines Iowa was no exception. Maybe I'm going to have to change a few things, maybe start wearing a golden race suit as opposed to the silver one I currently have.
Anyway to the race. Over...
On the road to Beijing - Debbie
Well since leaving NZ I have experienced a few extremes, one being the coldest race I have ever endured.
World Champs in Vancouver, Canada where not what many people expected. 12 degree water and 13 degrees outside air temperature called for a few extra things to think about:
1. Warm...
Kris Gemmell updates after watching the World Champs
Last weekend I was just a spectator as the World championships were held in Vancouver Canada. Its the first time I've missed a world champs event since 2002. I decided to skip Vancouver in favour of keeping my travel down before Beijing. It's something I have struggled with in the past and so it...
Bronze Medal Report - Sam
Well what can I say…I have just had the best day ever!
I have just finished third in the World Championships and I can’t believe it. I’m sitting here now in bed at one in the morning and I’m absolutely exhausted and my body aches so much! We have just been out to...
BMX World Champs - Sarah
Came away with third today but personally would have liked a couple of places better.
There were only 10 girls entered for cruiser this year but not a lack of competition. I had the "easier" moto and won all three moto's easily and qualifying for the final with the fastest time.

BMX Rider Sarah Walker Update
We have been in Phoenix, Arizona (America) for the past few days training here between the last Supercross and the World Champs.
It’s been super hot everyday so far with the exception of a random storm that lasted about an hour.
So far we have been to two of the four tracks...
Good old London town - Kris
Just wanted to quickly catch up with everyone and let you know what I've been up too over the last 4 and half weeks.
The running block has come and gone here in Germany and I made it!! It was pretty tough but I managed myself well over the weeks. I've come out of it feeling better than I...
