And we did! Thanks to Trek Bicycle Allen for hosting a Maintenance Clinic for the Plano Bicycle Association!

TDU is always a great race to watch. Now even better!

In January 2027, the Santos Tour Down Under (TDU) will become the first WorldTour event in history to feature men and women riders racing stages on the exact same course, on the same day. The men’s event is six days along, however, while the women’s race is a three-stage event, so the course and the coverage will not be shared every day.

The TDU, which takes place annually in South Australia and has a history stretching back to 1999 (although the women’s race did not begin until 2016), is the opening event of the UCI WorldTour and Women's WorldTour season. Significantly, in 2018, the TDU became the first professional cycling event to offer equal prize money to men and women.

The women’s race has traditionally taken place in mid-January, right in the burning hot heart of the Australian Summer, with the men’s race happening towards the end of the month. However, next year the TDU will run both men’s and women’s stages concurrently from 19–24 January (dates subject to final UCI calendar approval).

"I think you should race. You'll be a better cyclist for it."

That's what I told Sam just a few WEEKS ago. Tonight he showed and proved to himself that yes, I am a better cyclist for it! His first criterium race ever and he didn't drop-out, didn't get lapped and he wasn't slow by any means. This is just the beginning. Watch out!

It’s a beautiful weekend for a bike ride (or 2, or 3,….)!!! Enjoy the hills as well as the flatlands!
