NOOSA CLASSIC CYCLOSPORTIVE POSTPONED FOR 2023
A loss in Qld government support has led to the postponement of this truly exceptional event. See you in 2024 we hope.
IS FRIDAY CYCLING NOW THE NEW “SILENT SUNDAY” ?
With changing work habits courtesy of Covid 19 … is there a sense that Wednesday & Thursday are now super busy car days on the local roads (everybody is back in the office), yet Friday now seems to be a much lighter day ? … Saturday of course remains close to shambolic as always

Cafe de Columbia Pro Cycling Team (Columbia) - 1983-90
Sponsorship was from the Columbian Coffee Plantation Owners Association and co sponsors were Varta (car batteries) with Mavic (cycling components), Wolber (tyres) and Vitus the bike frames.
The team roster had 24 riders (all Columbians) but only Luis “Lucho” Herrera and Fabio Parra rated a mention on the race result sheets. It was really all about Lucho & Parra. Lucho won a stage in the ‘84 Tour de France (the Alpe D’Huez stage no less) & Lucho then won the ‘87 Tour of Spain and the ‘88 Dauphine Libere stage race.
The drop in world coffee prices during 1990 ended the team dream.
