The Big Time

Dylan has just experienced life in the fast lane like never before; well maybe he has ridden as quick but not for so long. Dylan rode the Tour of Toowoomba on the weekend after scoring a ride for a different team to what he generally rides for in the Queensland road series. This event is on par with anything else on the Australian Calendar and has all the gun teams from across the country racing vying for the overall win.
Day 1 saw Dylan finish comfortably in the bunch and not expending too much energy knowing what lay ahead. Day 2 had a finish that had a big climb to finish off the stage, unfortunately he was caught up behind a crash and lost some time but rode very well to be the first of his team home.
Day 3 at around 50k's and riding in windy conditions fatigue catch up with him and he fell off the pace finishing about 30 minutes of the winners time. Day 4 and the Crit was the last stage of the event and he rode well to finish off the Tour.
When you read this consider that he has never trained to ride more than 2 days at State level so to finish the Tour was a great achievement. Well done Dylan. Watch this space!
