The following message was sent to the Australian Bike Polo Council in regards to hosting next years polo champions.

“On behalf of the GCBP community we wish to withdraw our bid for the 2013 AHBPC.

We’d like to thank the Sydney and Brisbane polo community for their support on the bidding process and input towards the tournament.

We are still developing the sport on the coast and are working towards hosting a few social tournaments. We’ve had a lot of set backs since returning from Nat’s this year. For a tournament on this scale alot of factors have to line up finical, political, amenities etc just to name a few.

I am aware Christchurch as also pulled there bid, I think this reflects on how hard it is to host a national tournament and the council should work towards on making tournaments like these easier to host with the amount of knowledge of the sport.”

Thanks again to everyone who has supported the Gold Coast bid we really appreciated your time and input.
More Polo less Politics

Just a reminder that his Sunday we have book the velodrome.
All Welcome, Gold Coin donation for velo hire.

Nice turn out tonight, Pedal was good and so was the sustenance stop.

All welcome, Weather looks good.
Robina or Southport?

Over the weekend I had the chance to take a Specialized P.Fix out for a quick spin.  This is Specialized’s interpretation of a fixed gear freestyle bike, for a box bike its really well fitted (brakes, foot retention etc). This bike has a lot of features that have been influenced by the fixed gear community, an interesting feature of this bike is the stock foot retention system. Its very similar to the BO Gear system same concept just differently executed.

I wouldnt even consider myself a freestyle rider but this was pretty fun to ride its not heavy but you know its solid enough to huck of something big (if that’s your thing). This bike as been set up for freestyle but I could also see this being used for bike polo chucky 26inch tyres and loads of clearance would be more then welcomed on the polo court. Its not 700c but its still alot of fun to chuck around, This bike is now available for sale at Mikes Bikes for $900.

This bandit is up for sale, Hayden will take any offer or a case of beer.
contact him on 0413 195 668

Happy friday go buy yourself something nice.

valet parking and premium sustenance could sum up tonight’s ride.

Ride to the spit? Weather should be fine just a bit cool.
Official call at 6ish

Along with the dipping we also experimented with some new aero parts to give us the edge at our next big polo match.
