Solo rider Dielacher Hans #79 from Australia; battles up the back of Copperload

With the annual Crocodile Trophy in Cairns once again it was time again to capture the extreme action of a 1200km mountain bike race. Unlike the XPD I only have a little time aside to capture this awesome ten day event. Yep that will be Sat ‘n’ Sun I’ll head out to Chillagoe & Mt Mulgrave to see these brave guys and girls slog out 237km over the weekend. See my blog next week for more adventure.

MTBing Cairns to the Cape for Cancer Research

Two years ago I set out on an adventure, riding my mountain bike 3000 kilometres over Queensland. See my blog (extremephotography.com.au). It is time again to set sail for another journey (ahoy there!!); this time with my good friend Alex. We have planned to ride our mountain bikes 1100 kilometres from Cairns to the tip of Cape York, totally unsupported while towing push-bike trailers.

We have come to the aid for the Queensland Cancer Council in Cairns and will be leaving from the Relay for Life on the 6th of June. Donations are much appreciated and can be easily made here thanks to Every Day Hero. Thanks for Supporting such a Great Cause!

So far we have made it to Mossy for a big brekky after Our start at Relay for Life. Up Kuranda through Black Mt Rd then down the Rex. Our next step is to Cape Trib for a night on the beach.

Anyway get fit, tailwinds Muzza n Alex
