QUONabee Poemee for Free

There once was a rider who struggled and failed
Until he was picked up and Culture Club he hailed
The brainwashing started about stopping the QUON
He wasn’t sure how to, but knew they were strong

His mission in life was to wreck the blue train,
But for the most part of 08, QUON created their own pain
But upon looking back, at QUON’s learning and growing
The QUON were really just to’ing and fro’ing

They had all the skills, the numbers and belief
They just needed to practice the lead-out, but a little more brief
As of 09, the boys got it right,
and suddenly left all the others to fight

Upon spending time with the boys in blue
Said riders initial thoughts were very untrue
For he discovered the lads had the hearts of bulls
They even tried to help him at Bright, with a drive and a pull

Said rider soon thought, I’ve judged a book by its cover
Very unlike me as it’s not taught by my mother
To this re-educated rider, the QUON are it
The right type of guys without all the sh!t

They welcome the genuine strangers along
Said rider is one, although, not wearing a thong
Said rider sees the passion and spirit alive
As a QUON member this rider knows he would thrive

The QUON should benefit from giving him a start
Said rider promises to not run out of heart
He loves to work only for the team
Even just playing part in a Randwick (pointscore champion) winning dream

This rider is hoping for a big open heart
From the QUON elders who’ve been there from the start
If they can find, some room in the squad
He’ll buy lunch and beers, and if lucky, Flex his quad!

Questioning
Unequivocally
Opposition’s
Negligence

The Quonosurs Killed it.

With a touch of pink and a bucket load of speed, skill, talent and modesty Team QUON's own 'QUONosurs' have taken out the teams competition in the CCC criterium series. Yet again Team QUON has proved far too dominant for the remainder of the Canberra cycling population.

Better luck next year guys.

Team QUON continues to make headlines...

TEAM QUON FUND RAISING FOR BOSOM BUDDIES ACT
By sijo February 23, 2010 http://the-riotact.com/?p=18700#more-18700

Canberra semi-professional cycling outfit, Team QUON, is poised to make history at the Stromlo Criterium Track this Wednesday with an anticipated clean sweep of all race categories.
The ACT Criterium Championships, which started in November last year, will culminate in the final race of the season on Wednesday night.
Team QUON is strongly positioned to win the teams, squad and individual point score competition—a feat unprecedented since the competition began. Team QUON’s Director Sportif, Paul Smith, said the finale could prove to be a ‘tour de force’ in all grades.
“This has been a great season for Team QUON. We’ve had consistently strong performances from all of our riders and are at the top of the three point score competitions.
“This is a significant achievement given the extremely high standard of club racing in the ACT,” Smith said.
“Expect to see some high octane racing as the other teams attempt to knock us off the top spot.”
Team QUON will also show its softer side at the race as they don pink jerseys in support of breast cancer awareness.
So far the team has raised $3,000 for the cause which includes the recent auction of Michael Rogers’ cycling jersey he wore at the 2009 Tour de France.
Racing starts at 5.30pm this Wednesday, 24 February.

Police Academy v TQ

I never did like that overly lippy guy from Police Academy. What was his name? He always had too much to say and never really could take on board his own advice. Fortunately for everyone involved, Rusty's bodyguard was having a particularly pacifist night last night.

TEAM PHOTO on WEDNESDAY

Team QUON would like to warn all other teams to lock up your daughters, wives and sisters.

The entire Team QUON will be gathering at 6.30pm on Wednesday night at QUON Corner for their official Team Photo.

It will look like a Gillette Man conference to the uninitiated.

All QUON members are asked to attend in new full Euro bling kit.

FINES ARE FREAKIN DUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The following people need to pay their fines ASAP.



Don't pay them and you will be drinking water and helping clean the bbq after the last crit, while the rest of us are partying down.

Pay Mongo or the QM in cash.

TALK TO MONGO if you want to discuss (or if you think you have already paid). DO NOT TALK TO THE QM - HE IS BIG PICTURE. Already one sook has rung the QM and disturbed his Winter Olympic viewing.

The QM also gives Mongo the right to double the fines of anyone who sooks too much. So just pony up.

BoW - 0 from 3 this season.

Wombats would be ashamed! The 2009/2010 season has left his little brother without a finishing result in all of the endurance mtb events he has entered this season.

Br Mouldy, the sponsor and brother in-law of BoW could not be contacted this evening to comment, either was Wombats, but the current QUON Master was quoted, stating that " the athlete's of the QUON create, no, demand their own fortune. Rookies just don't get it!"

QUON members purposely did not enter the "Husky 100" to provide BoW a clear run, and break the voodoo that the satanic worshiper has on his fellow team mates, but wasted their time due to the humidity in the air prevented the black sheep competing.

We hope to see a finishing tick next to his name this Wednesday night

* Fines for every sponsor of a QUON Rookie if their rookie doesn't turn up. (BOTH Trav & Rads will be fined if Robobo no shows)

* A fine for the DOMinator.
