What's coming up for 2014? 

A whole new set of goal races, travel to new and old parts of Australia for cycling, (maybe) a new car for all the bikes and travelling. New team members and new battles on the road. To keep things sharp, a few training camps and some cross training in the snow! Also, stay tuned for more opportunities for women to race casually in team events over 2014 and a unique opportunity below:

If you're up for a challenge and to kick-start your 2014 of racing - apply now for the Kosdown Performance Cycling Scholarship (male u23 and female open age).  You set your goals, and together with KPC they help you achieve them!
