Team Work makes the Dream Work!

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.".... Benjamin FranklinSo that's what I did, I got my other half John Brame involved in some lockdown shenanigans.

Who me…competitive?

I am very competitive....there I said it! So when I get an opportunity and a spontaneous burst of energy to ride on the front, I ashamedly do. I think all of us who compete in sport have that streak and why not! Competition has helped me focus, has kept me disciplined and is with me like a good friend throughout my training. It has also supported

Hyde Park Corner.... easy, The Wellington Arch...perfect, now it was a matter of can I do it? Too many times we doubt ourselves and consequently miss opportunities that could have been amazing for us. Before I had my cancer surgery I li

Run: The Hunter Valley Ultra

The ultimate challenge and reward. At 102kms, this is the longest course of the event and the only one that goes through the night. An elevation gain of 3200 metres and a maximum elevation of 588 metres.

We can't compare apples to apples anymore. When it comes to commerce, 'business as usual' isn't nearly going to cut it in the transparent world we exist.
