The Finale: Day 8

Paceliner — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 08:14:45 +0000

The wonderful people at Eludae Cafe in Healesville opened early this saturday morning, just so that the Paceliners could get on the road and meet the final day’s deadlines. After a beautifully cooked breakfast, they left the last of the hills behind and headed towards home. Once again this year, Paceline has been incredibly privileged [...]

Paceline Update Day 7

Paceliner — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 07:12:45 +0000

Day 7 from Mansfield to Healesville was always going to be a big day, approx 170km, including Mount Terrible and The Black Spur. Just the names are enough to instill fear in the heart of the most intrepid Paceliner. However, they were all up, fed and raring to go by 7am. The first half of [...]

Paceline Update Day 6

Paceliner — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:21:25 +0000

After a great night’s rest and another hearty meal courtesy of the folks at Milawa Lodge, the intrepid 25 hopped back on their equally well rested Specialiseds, Treks, Bianchis and a beautiful new Baum and Pacelined it all the way to Mansfield at a “cracking pace”. Actually, it was a beautiful meander through the King [...]

Paceline Update Day 5

Paceliner — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:23:49 +0000

Today was the day the team hit Hotham…and Mother Nature decided not to play fair. Waking up to heavy rain and slippery conditions, the decision was made to start out a couple of hours later when the trusty BOM site said the worst should have cleared. A “canny” decision as when the Paceliners did start [...]

Paceline Update Day 4

Paceliner — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:08:28 +0000

When asked about today’s ride from Mount Beauty to Omeo you could tell that one rider was overwhelmed: “It was jaw-dropping, just awe-inspiring!” Sounds like he enjoyed it and it seems that the rest of the Paceliners felt the same. The day saw them tackling a distance of just under 170km AND Falls Creek. Take [...]

Paceline Update Day 3

Paceliner — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 10:54:02 +0000

Today we will start at the end and work backwards because one of the most memorable parts of the day was the welcome that the team received from everyone at The Mount Beauty Holiday Centre. Throughout the process of booking the accommodation and organising the meals for a group of 20 hungry riders Sarah’s attitude [...]

Paceline Update Day 2

Paceliner — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:17:20 +0000

Jindabyne to Corryong The Paceliners are still going strong. Day two saw them making their way from Jindabyne to Corryong. A distance of about 140km that also saw them tackling Thredbo and Kosciuszko in one day. A few people at home were a bit concerned when they all seemed to come to a sudden halt [...]

Paceline Update Day1

Paceliner — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 04:09:57 +0000

The Paceliners are on the road and going strong in the 2011 Ride to Cure Cardiac Arrhythmias. Yesterday’s leg from Canberra to Jindabyne was the longest of the entire ride at 180km, but they made good time, and despite having left a little late after forgetting to collect their lunches, managed to be at the [...]

mashburn training week 5

mashburn — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:50:31 +0000

Well it’s getting close now. Training has been good this week overall. I may not have raced, but I did get a couple of good long rides in and I feel like I will have the legs for the journey. To be realistic I guess I’m not going to get any stronger between now and [...]
