The Scott Australian 24 Hour MTB Championships were held at Stromlo Forest Park in Canberra on 13-14th October
Some 2,000 riders took part in this year’s Scott 24, with entries in 22 categories comprising male, female and mixed, solo, pairs, threes, fours, and six person teams.
Yet again Jason English dominated the solo male category, claiming his fifth consecutive title at this year’s event. He was pushed all the way this year by Euro champ Matt Page, just 22 minutes behind, and Andy Hall in third. Liz Smith rode an impressive race taking out the women’s solo title, followed by Philippa Rostan and Kate Penglase in third.
Its one thing to casually ride a bike up a mountain on a smooth bitumen surface, but quite another to race, in the rain, off road, in temps approaching zero, in the dead of night.

Round 4 of the SRAM Single Track mind Series had 250+ keen mountain bikers heading for the Southern Highland’s town of Welby. It was a foggy start to the day and most hoped that the touch of rain the night before, might have settled some of the dust.
If you’ve been watching the Tour and you’re inspired to go and ride some of those Cols next year, then you’re going to need a decent bike bag. The Aero Comfort range from Sci-Con are designed to provide maximum protection yet still be compact enough to fit into a small car. The model shown here has external shields for greater protection. The base has a frame for mounting your steed for stabilisation during transport, a skewer pocket, anti-tear outer, and four wheels for easy airport manoeuvrability. This bag weighs 7.7kg and is just 188x25x90cm when fully packed.
