Many of us wear Cycology gear. Who designs all these great fabrics?
This short video (1 minute) provides an interesting peek behind the scenes inside the Cycology design studio – it all started above a bike shop in Paddington…

Global Sea Otter MTB festival comes to Batemans Bay & Mogo
South-east NSW’s reputation as a must-visit location for mountain bikers from around the world has been bolstered by the announcement it will host one of the sport’s largest events.
The Sea Otter Classic started as a multi-day mountain bike festival in Monterey, California in 1991 and the now-annual event attracted more than 80,000 visitors last year.
Sea Otter expanded to operate editions in Spain in 2017 and Canada in 2019, and will launch its first southern hemisphere event in Australia in 2025.
The festival will be held in Batemans Bay on the NSW south coast and on the neighbouring Mogo mountain bike trails.

Kiama BUG on Tour – 2024
This year’s KBUG Cycling Tour will take in Victoria’s High Country Rail Trail and the Albury Wetlands, during the last week of March.
There will be three days of riding….
- Monday 25th March: Shelley to Tallangatta (46 km)
- Tuesday 26th March: Albury Wetlands (38 – 65 km with optional extension)
- Wednesday 27th March: Lake Hume village to Tallangatta (62 km)
More information about each of the rides is available in the Ride Information package below.
Registration is now closed (11th March).
You will need to organise your own accommodation, staying in the area from Sunday 24th, to be ready to roll on the Monday morning, when we will be meeting at Tallangatta hotel at 8:00 am to drive to Shelley.
There is plenty of accommodation available in Albury and Wodonga, but with two of the rides (and if taking the extended option, the third ride) making use of the Rail Trail near Lake Hume, the Lake Hume Discovery Park (Victoria) will be the preferred base for most riders. The park offers a wide range of accommodation options.
More discussion and planning will no doubt take place on our regular rides over the coming weeks.

High Country Rail Trail
While many of us are familiar with the Victorian Rail Trails around Beechworth and Bright, the High Country Rail Trail takes you on a scenic journey through iconic Australian landscapes in the Upper Murray region.
Stretching over 80 kilometres from Wodonga, through Old Tallangatta and out to Shelley, the High Country Rail Trail hugs the shoreline of the majestic Lake Hume.
Ride back in time to the 1950s when the town of Tallangatta was relocated, and the old town flooded by Lake Hume. Cross the sparkling lake over the bright red 600 metre Sandy Creek Bridge to visit the new and old town sites. Pack your panniers with regional produce for a lakeside picnic at Ebden, Ludlow’s or Huon Reserve, or take a refreshing dip while you simply soak up the serenity.
