Last Sunday, Tonello completed the International Crocodile Trophy Stage Race, a 900km mountain bike event from Cairns to Cooktown. He and race partner Dave Stallan won the adventure racing team category in an event billed as the sport’s toughest race. The 19th edition of the Crocodile Trophy started in Cairns on October 19. There was 15km of elevation as competitors experienced the cruel beauty of Australia’s tropical north. A tough race to be sure, but Isaac said his riding-to-work experience was tougher. “That was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do mentally,” he said. “I’d get up at 4.30am and ride two hours, work a full day and ride another two hours home.

Although Sagan finished seventh, at the Noosa Subaru Australian Open Criterium on Saturday, he pulled a post-race wheelie to the delight of cheering fans. The Tour de France green jersey winner’s numerous scars on his body sheds light on his vast talent. It tells a journey of crashes to master the skills such as parking a bike on a roof car with no props. Speaking to Sagan last week, prior to a surf lesson with Jordan Mercer, I point out the scars on his body. “From racing mountain Gun professional cyclist Peter Sagan enjoying Noosa Main Beach.

  • Mountain Biking
    MOUNTAIN BIKING The Benefits of Mountain Biking to the Atherton Tablelands Great mountain bike trails don’t just satisfy local riders. They can also attract tourists from all over, revitalize local economies, and put a destination on the map. International Mountain Bicycling Association April 2015 Tablelands Futures Corporation PO Box 156, Yungaburra QLD 4884 www.tablelandsfutures.com Facilitating sustainable prosperity Mountain Biking | The benefits to the Atherton Tablelands Executive Summary Where else on the planet can you mountain bike and be immersed in pristine World Heritage Rainforests, go from savannah to ocean to rainforest in one day and experience unique flora and fauna in one of the worlds most concentrated and bio- diverse natural environments? Tablelands Integrated Mountain Bike Alliance (TiMBa) – a subcommittee of Tablelands Futures Corporation have a vision and a plan to develop the Atherton Tablelands as a world class mountain biking destination. Over recent years, significant initiatives have been delivered to ensure this vision is a reality including a whole of region approach to make Tropical North Queensland the premier mountain bike destination in Australia and an internationally renowned world class facility. Funding was secured to obtain feasibility and mapping reports to develop the Atherton Tablelands trail network. These reports led to Local, State and Federal Government funding for construction of world class trails at the Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park; Davies Creek Mountain Bike Park and the Atherton Tablelands Rail Trails corridor. In addition the ongoing development of the Sunny Savannah Project and expanded Rail Trail network will provide additional infrastructure to drive demand. Mountain bike trails constructed to world class standards are a viable tourism attraction for the Atherton Tablelands and provide a significant economic stimulus to the local economy.
