2011 Paracycling Nationals

Thought I would post some photos of the cycling over the weekend. I raced the last two years on the tandem with vision impaired rider John Wood from Rockhampton Cycling Club. This year we had moved so I just picked him up from the airport and got him to the races and he and Martin Cooper, also of Rockhampton Club rode very creditable times. Unfortunately they did not get a medal as this year there were 6 tandem men which was a great field. Both days in the TT and the Road race they were fourth by about a minute. Considering the pedigree of the first three finishers the team did a fantastic effort. Averaging 40kph over 80klm on an up and down course where John and I did about 28kph last year was just amazing.
