23.01.2022 Well...what can we say...that was a massive weekend! Blood, Sweat and Beers! So firstly a MASSIVE thanks to our support crew, our families, our friends and of course our sponsors! This little two-day ride of 220km is a real chameleon, any one of our team will tell, you that no year has ever been the same..rain, hail or shine...This one...it was a baker..a real stinker, over 110km in 35+ degrees on the last day. But...those KAMILS, they did that every day, for 600 km, for 5 ...days straight from Kalgoorlie to Perth to join the ride. Why?... You know why, because not only are they legends..because, like you, me, us ....and them. We all ride, support and donate to fight Cancer. Heres the thing...we found out today that the legends of lycra have raised $100,014 for cancer research for the MACA Cancer 200 and Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research! But wait...theres more...we also never knew how much we have raised since day dot. Are you sitting down? ...... The coolest team ever to ride a bike on this planet has raised $561,366 for cancer research!!!!! Who would have ever thought 8 years later...we could all make this happen! Once again those MAMILS are now off soaking their bums and bones... Rest up you good things..you have 364 days to recover! Oh..and if you have read this far click here: http://bit.ly/3245EpN #thisonesforyoudunny #dontbeagarry Photos thanks to Basia Dee :)

23.01.2022 Well then...looks like the secrets out as to where we get our kits from! https://scody.com/

22.01.2022 Mining MAMILS? Yes, thats right.. the MACA Cancer 200 crew took the MAMILS to Tropicana Mine on a recruitment drive. As you can see the MAMILS were a little flat on the day, but as alway...we looked great! ;) Please donate to your fav MAMIL here: https://www.cancer200.org.au//MAMILS--Middle-Ag/cancer-200

22.01.2022 Day 4 - Kalgoorlie to Perth! The KAMILS receive their Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research / MACA Cancer 200 Showbags! 109 km from Kellerberrin to York today. The Legends of Lycra will arrive at the Perth Stadium around 12:30! Donate here:http://bit.ly/3245EpN PerthNow..check it!

22.01.2022 So for anyone who was wondering just why the MAMILS didnt roll over the finish line this year????? Well...after cycling 219km..and only 1km to go..we got a flat! Let just say it wasnt a regular flat...it was a real good flat that was unchangeable. So an executive decision was made to carry our bikes over the line...The weird bit about all of this was that Franko had said to Craig only 3 hours beforehand "Lets do something fun this year... lets stop before the finish line and carry our bikes over". We were pulling over to brief the team on our MAMIL antics and all we could hear was a tyre going BOOOOM!

21.01.2022 It's not every day you get to work with your favourite research centre!

16.01.2022 Day 3- 168km by Claire Turner Millband! Southern Cross to Kellerberrin. Jeez, these boys are machines..........I have no words. It was tough out there for them today, the weather was a little cooler but they had almost 168km of headwind....EEK!! Roads...or should I say the road was busier today....maaan, those road trains & wide loads are so scary, most of the drivers were accommodating with only minimum abuse @#%*....even though we warn them theres cyclists up ahead...theres no pleasing some folk. Anyway....the riders are all feeling good, tired but good. Time for a feed then an early night for all. Donate here: http://bit.ly/3245EpN Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research MACA Cancer 200

They may have only riden 65km today...but they got baked in 38 degree heat and roasted by a smashing headwind! By the time they hit the finish line on Sunday they will have pumped out over 800km raising donations for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research! ...

07.01.2022 Get a load of this cranky lying cow - a traffic control subcontractor at the work site, on the public road outside Taronga Zoo down in Sydney. Safety signs MUST... NOT obstruct bike lanes. Shes trying to get the video removed for "privacy" reasons. Boo hoo. Good luck with that! Its not a private conversation when youre yelling at each other in a public street and other people are around at a busy work site. Im not a cyclist, and this aint my video, but they get enough crap without idiots like this making things worse for them. Update: traffic controller has been moved on and the construction company apologised.
