World Cup Berth!

I am absolutely stoked to announce that I will be starting the Heusden-Zolder Cyclocross World Cup on the 26/12! This has been qhat I once thought to be an impossible dream for a couple of years now. Initially I wanted to do a MTB world cup, but CX seems to suit me a fair bit more. It's a big step up in competition to what I'm used to, but this will purely be a learning experience. If I can beat a couple of guys I'll be ecstatic with the result. I arrive in Brussels on the 23rd, so it will be quite a transition from here, (30 degrees) to there (0 degrees). Fingers crossed it isn't like last year....





I have a feeling an Aussie has raced a CX world cup before, can anyone confirm this?

Big thanks to sponsors Giant, Schwalbe (new sponsor), the crew at St Kilda Cycles, VeloLab, Qoleum, Trisport.
