Well, it’s been a big 24hrs and it’s certainly not over yet. Our thoughts are going out to our Cairns crew, who, with under two weeks to go until race day, are undoubtedly anxious. Without trying to be an alarmist, we all fear we will be facing a likely lockdown in the not-too-distant future, so we appreciate the apprehension amongst athletes. We are capable of flipping straight into our Go Virtual timetable if needed, so rest assured you won’t miss a beat. And we’ll communicate as soon as we know any more. But for now, we will focus on the positives and keep ploughing forward with our heads up.
The hotly anticipated End of Season Party…That Almost Didn’t Happen (that’s its official title) is locked in and ready to go. We have a private space with an exclusive bar, comfy booths and a dancefloor with a stage (*warming up the dance moves now*) for all those who feel like performing. We remain super pumped for the opportunity to have as many TA Family members in the one place at the one time. It’ll be a time to celebrate, a time for laughter and a time for some well-overdue catch ups! A ticket to our cocktail party will include loads of finger foods, a drink on arrival, drinks at bar prices and everyone is welcome (including partners). Stay for as much of the night that suits you and bring your dancing shoes. Link below to book your ticket now.
And if you were lucky enough to secure a place to our upcoming Winter camp, you will be ready to party after all the hard work you put in! It’s going to be GREAT. If you haven’t heard by now, this year’s winter camp is venturing a little further down the Great Ocean Road, to take full advantage of all Apollo Bay has to offer, not to mention some amazing riding through the Great Otway National Park. Apologies now for all the FOMO and pics to come, but that’s life… ‘coz this camp is sold out!
Speaking of Winter, how was that little arctic blast for your ride on Saturday morning?!?!? No doubt it took some time for some peeps to thaw out. So, this week’s focus is on Winter Riding – both what to wear and where to get it.
Another area of focus we have over Winter is time trialling. Some of you may be wondering why the heck we would be testing ourselves in the off season. Well, lucky for you we have an article to explain exactly why this is! And to kick it off, next week you will all have a programmed run time trial. This will take place on Thursday night at Albert Park Lake (not The Tan). It’ll be a 6pm warm up for a 6:15pm race start. Meet outside the main entrance ready to leave. We won’t be hanging around.
Speaking of programs, we are still finding some athletes not on the correct one??? I’ve included a guide as to how to find, change and read your program and also included the link to shout out to us if you need a hand.
Finally, all LC crew can look forward to cycling coaching by Gaz for the next couple of Saturdays – keep an eye out for him at the early morning departure from Elwood.
As we said, we will be in touch as soon as anything changes, or we know any more. And please reach out to us if you need anything in the meantime. Fingers crossed Team that this is short lived!
