SO WHERE DID THE NAME  "BiciSport"  COME FROM ?

The name and the "BS" logo have been drawn from the leading Italian cycle racing magazine of the same name ... the title simply means `bikesport` in Italian.

Jays Austin sets the Masters (M2) World Hour Record with 48.317k

First Attempt - 2 February 08 

What a gutsy attempt for Jays putting it all on the line. The record was 45.641k set by Jason Sprouse (USA), or put another way simply 181 laps around the Dunc Gray Velodrome in one hour. For the first 40 minutes of the attempt Jays looked pretty well ahead of the game. Jays rhythm looked controlled and measured until the 40 minute mark, but then the demons started & the lights started to slowly go out. What was `ahead of the record` at 40 minutes, started to slip away at 45 minutes, and at the 50 minute mark the record was safe in American hands. 

Second Attempt - 26 April 09

The second attempt bore no relation to the first attempt in February 08. Jays set a constant & well rehearsed lap time, and by the 45 minute mark was comfortably ahead of the Jason Sprouse benchmark of 45.641k. Coached by Alex Simmons, Jays was able to set a time of 48.317k for the hour around the Dunc Gray Velodrome, in a truly awesome display of quality track cycling.   

Alex Simmons Track Night on 28 November 08

Since the accident, Alex has made a remarkable recovery. Alex has assisted with RAW Track (as the CycNSW Commissaire), and coached the BiciSport team to the Gold Medal at the Masters Team Time Trial Championships in August 08.
