That's When I Reach For My Revolver

Still trying to get some good base miles in your legs for Dirty Deeds, have a new 'cross bike you want to 'bed in'... just like riding new roads out of the city...?

Our rambling sibling Melbourne Gravel Grinders has announced their next adventure...

The last two have been massive successes, don't miss the next one!

Sweet As A Love Note.

Excellent news from our Cycling Victoria Liason Officer: At any Dirty Deeds race this year you will be able to purchase a Cyclocross Season Pass for $50. This will cover your race licencing needs for all four Dirty Deeds Urban Cyclocross races and the Cycling Victoria Cyclocross Open. This has solved a major headache for us, and represents a total bargain for you. Now you have no excuse!

Swallow Your Pride.

Hi. How's it going? I know you're all in the midst of setting up your bikes for the four races coming your way, ogling 32mm tires and fancy carbon drop bars, so now's probably a good time for me to tell you this: at the Dirty Deeds Urban Cyclocross Series in 2011 you will be allowed to use disc brakes. I don't know about you, but I'm excited.

A Blanket And A Habitat.

Dates announced! Sweet baby Jeebus, will you look at that flyer! There's so much radness there I want to snuggle up into it and fall asleep to infinity. Maps! Forest! World Champion stripes! And as if that's not enough, an elephant crushing a bike wheel. Tara Jayne, you've outdone yourself.

The Right Profile

In my inbox whilst I was recently away (riding SS cross bikes in fabled MTB lands) arrived a flyer for an event that has been rumoured here for a while..

Norm has been communicating with DDHQ for a while and we were delighted to have him come down and race both categories in the final round last year. He has been wokring at convincing his local cycling club to host a race and talking up the available terrain since then.

As more details emerge I will post them...

She's So Beautiful.

School Holidays mean that I have some time to work on this website, and you should check out the results of my hard labour over there on the right. Two new pages - licensing and 2011 locations. Both chock full of information. Are you getting excited about CX season yet? Because I sure am.

Sharing A City.

I don't want to give away too much information before the official flyer works its way out of Tara Jaynes hot little hands, but holy hell, we just locked in one of the best locations we've ever seen. Most of the time we stumble upon locations, dream about how rad they would be, and then get firmly knocked on our arses when we ask permission. This time the council in question has come to the party, and we couldn't be happier.

Think hills, mud (of course!), dirt, bike path, steps, gravel climbs, creek crossings, the works. All of our wildest dreams just came true. And in a couple of months, yours will too.
