The Worlds 24hr Solo Championships, 2010, Stromlo Canberra

Its less than 2 weeks away...... the biggest MTB race this year in Australia. For the time since it started 12 years ago, the 24 hours of Adrenalin World Solo Championships has finally left the shores of North America and come to Australia. CORC (Canberra off-road cyclists) have been awarded the rights to host the event. It has come to the right place with an aussie taking out the title last year (Jason English) and third place (Andy Fellows-Yeh!) and 2006 winner Craig Gordon just to name a few Australians competing this year.
Andy can't wait, just check out his blog and give your support. Greg Long and local customer Mark Whitney are so excited they have got track side tickets, to give Andy some local cheer and support.
Kim and Greg P, our mechanics have been working hard this week to get both of Andy's bikes race ready and they are now some mean looking fighting machines.
Cognition has brought the Worlds a bit closer to Noosa by running our own competition. Who will be the next World 24 hour solo champion? Come in and have a chat  while you fill out an entry form for your chance to win an $100 gift certificate at Cognition.Our money is on ANDY!

Boonah Marathon Results

The Sunshine Coast locals got awesome results on the weekend at the Boonah Marathon. They travelled to Boonah, south west of Brisbane to race in the 50km Lite course which included a mix of MTB bike trails, dirt roads and bitumen. It started at Boonah showgrounds and finished at the Wyaralong trails.
Local rider Dan O'Rouke came 2nd overall and first in his division (1:49:05) by only 5 seconds due to a last minute wrong turn. Jack Jude, riding for Cognition and Ay-Up lights came 2nd in his division (1:53:12) by 4mins and 12 seconds and came an awesome 4th overall. Jack is only 14 and was completing in the 18-29 division, this was an amazing feat.

David Whisker and Jack Jude

Our other riders were good friends Garth Kellett (2:03:00) and David Whisker (2:06:01) placing 6th and 10th respectively in the 40-49 division. Great results guys those training rides in the Noosa trails really paid off.

Jack on the podium -Well done Jack
