Recently I was lucky enough to be in Sydney for work so made sure I caught up with a few friends who were ready to start the 2009 MS Sydney to the Gong Bike Ride. The morning was cool, perfect for riding the 90k’s.

My friends and I set off with the intention of staying together, but I couldn’t resist and once a big peleton came past I jumped on the back – we flew out of Sydney, in fact I almost ended up off course, as I realised at the last minute it was a training run – heading the wrong way – quickly back on course.

Vote 1, Brendan Bailey, for the Scody 2009 People’s Choice Cyclist of the Year.

Brendan finishes a race.

Because Stuart O’Grady and Cadel Evans have already won enough awards. Because the cyclist of the year shouldn’t be some pro who you never see battling into the wind on the way home from work. Because I’m an aging fixie punk with bad tattoos and questionable personal hygene. Because I like going to fancy dinners. Because “People’s Choice” should mean “One of the People”. And if I’m nothing else, I’m definitely a person!

You don’t have to be a cyclist to vote, just an Australian resident. Voting closes this Friday.

On Sunday 1st November, Brunswick member Benedict Hughes is riding the 2009 MS Sydney to Gong Ride. The ride is run to raise funds for people affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is the most common disease of the central nervous system and affects more than 18,000 Australians

Benedict hopes you will be able to help support this worthy cause by donating to the MS Society through his profile.

Sunday turned out nice and clear, which was nice for the Hi-Vis Muppets tackling the Around the Bay in a Day, but didn’t really affect those who rocked up to Rock – N – Roller Racing at the East Brunswick Club. The field grew to the limit of 32 riders pretty early on, and boasted a number of former roller racing champions in its midst. Competition was bound to be fierce.
