Good luck to the old bulls..... you'll need that and a lot more.

Young bulls, I love you all

An Ode

As once the dinosaurs roamed the earth
Those of old must give a berth
With youth a must in an ageing team
A policy should bring the cream

As old and young take the field of battle
Project lactate will define the cattle
Hiding in the soft serve bunch
Won’t give the war that needed punch

For those who seek to win the prize
Quon’s the place where the cream will rise
As old bull talks and young bull listens
Tridents watch, as the sweat, it glistens

For those who cannot reach the bar
And seek thee not to ride too far
Then seek ye out a cafe bike
And find your latte and take a hike

Should you wish to ride out hard
And put your mark on a winners card
Then stand ye up in blue and gold

And give it all before you’re old.


WHAT QUON MEANS TO ME


What the QUON means to me,

Is a lot more than just being called a QUONabee.

It means not falling for the trap of the QUON stalker,

Because I know that deep down Randy wants to pork her.


It means singing karaoke with Stomps and Uber,

And sniffing around looking for the next chick willing to cop my barracuda.

It’s about sneaky Alpe De Rouge after coffee with Skin and Bones,

Not just worrying about training on specific Heart Rate Zones.


It means a Monday ride with Zany Terra and Rock,

And listening to endless stories about Mongo’s giant cock.

It’s about giving everyone a real good show,

Every time I pull on my blue jersey and race a crit at QUONlo.


It’s about respect for the old bulls,

Because they’re apparently the ones that take the big pulls.

It’s about riding the tricycle with the Poet in Gee-Long,

Even though Lil’ Undies reckons she was disgusting and wrong.


It’s about taking turns on the front to help your mate,

Because it’s all a part of our great QM’s ‘Project Lactate’.

It’s about getting out on Friday morning’s early from the cot,

And chasing back the Dominators pointless attacks in the HoT.


It’s about admiration for SWP and our fearless QM – Terracini,

“It’s about love, respect, community;

And the dollars too – the entire package.

The, QUON.”*


That’s what the QUON means to me.

A picture is worth 1000 words

Photos from Preston's assault on the Single Speed 24hr MTB World Champs. From a very dark place at 2am, to in the box at 11am, to triumphant with tinny in hand after the finish.
Big effort from the big man.



And SWP crossing the finish line

TQ's Presence Noted at Worlds


TQ's second pro tour patron was very quick to recognise the significant contribution that the emblem of the Blue Train made in getting him his first elite men's world championship title. Immediately following his superb left side sprint, Thor was heard to mention that on his 11 trips up the climbs he glanced at the TQ emblem and thumped his chest, in an effort to get himself up the hill just that little bit quicker.

" Each time I saw that famous TQ, I just knew that as an Old Bull, I had the legs to get up the hill and finsih that race as well as I did. Thank you so much to TQ and their efforts in helping this old bull to dominate all the pansy arse Young Bulls that were out there on the road."
