  • Dr Craig Fry organised 15 cyclists to ride from Melbourne to Warrnambool as a tribute to the 125th year of the great race. We set off at 4:30 on the 14th December 2020.
    The M2W is the second oldest bike race in the world to Liege Bastogne Liege. Ranging from 260 to 330km, it was also the longest one day bike race in the world for many years.

    Craig Fry very generously set up a go fund me to support the country based juniors in their endeavours to race at the elite level. If you can support the cause it would be appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/cycling-futures

    Maven. It’s late but WHAT a post. One of your best, if I may indulge. Earlier this month we bade farewell to a legend in my life. Graeme Smart. He podiumed once in the Warnie and crashed on Raglan another time. He taught a few of us more about riding than any others. Thanks for this. It reminds me of the iconic stature of this event and those who compete. Bless you Smartie we miss you!
