Too often we avoid a challenge because it is too difficult. In a busy world I often hear people saying, ‘I don’t have the time’.
So, take inspiration from Team Brevet. Five ‘ordinary’ people, busy with family and jobs, who together achieved something truly extraordinary; a new Audax Fleche Opperman 24 Hour team time trial record of 800km.
At La Velocita we love a good Everesting story. So when we heard there was a group of five riders taking on the challenge on Boxing day… when most of us are relaxing… we sent our resident Everesting expert Brendan Edwards along to check it out.
Time flies and Christmas is here! Here at La Velocita, we love Christmas and it may sound a little cliché but what better way to celebrate than to get out and ride Christmas Hills just before Christmas.
Warburton, Sunday November 22nd 7:30am, perfect conditions for the inaugural Giro della Donna Gran Fondo. I was really looking forward to what promised to be one of the most spectacular cycling routes in Australia.
Hells 500 and the Climbing Cyclist are back with their ‘Domestique’ Rides. Today we take a look at the first ride of the summer, the awesome Lake Mountain. It’s the perfect environment to get out in the mountains and test yourself in a friendly, safe and supportive environment.
This isn’t a race. It’s an experience.
Epic rides. We love them. But what does ‘epic’ really mean? What makes a ride an epic?

Last weekend La Velocita’s Brendan Edwards headed out to ride the Hells 500 event “Ol’ Dirty”.
In its fifth year, Ol’ Dirty takes you down the ‘roads’ less travelled, is full of surprises and brings together riders for a day that guarantees good times.
When the email landed telling me that Shimano was hosting weekend experience with Soigneur and I had been invited, my excitement levels went into overdrive.
To say it was an ‘experience’ is an understatement. Beautiful scenery, awesome riding and great company were just the beginning.

At La Velocita we love to ride and we love Christmas, it’s a time for new kits and accessories, riding with friends and family, ham, turkey, beer and wine… what better way to put them all together the getting involved in the Rahpa Festive 500!
This week we bring you the first in a series of rides in Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges. An epic playground for all cyclists just an hour from Melbourne.
This ride in Melbourne's awesome Dandenong Ranges is bang on 60km with 1,590m of climbing and takes in some great climbs, descents. The ride starts and finishes at the Basin, just to the east of where the hills start providing you with the option to drive and ride or ride from home to the start point.
Almost all road cyclists have had a least one ride on Beach Road. It’s a road that polarises people. It's seen as a cycling mecca by many, with its long wide sections, minimal traffic lights, views, a couple of hills and some good coffee shops.
Beach Road sees all types of riders, new riders finding their way through to pro riders, young and old, small groups through to massive groups, you will see clubs like TKM - The Kings Men, the 6amers, shop rides and more and of course the somewhat infamous Hell Ride.
