Is Nathan the new Trumpet?

Just as pink is the new black.
Just as the Gingas were made equal for a season.
It's like new is old, and the old men are cool.

Are we seeing a skinnier version of Trumpet amongst our fold?

"Oh, oh, they paid me at the Quon dinner; honest. No really"

Skin and Bones. An apology is required!

The entire package.
The whole thing, The whole thing.”

BD however, has never been effective or popular.

Congratulations to Michael Phelan and Alexandra Carle

http://www.cycling.org.au/?Page=33766

Team Quon congratulates Michael Phelan and Alexandra Carle on their selection to the Australian Team for the World Junior Road Championships to be held in Moscow in August.

Michael capped a great season with 2nd place (1st Australian) at the recent Australian U/19 Road Championships. It was this result that sealed his selection on the Worlds Team.

If Michael and Alexandra would like help on honing their Vodka sculling techniques for Russia then new QM Paul Smith is more than willing to run some tutorials for them.

Team QUON riders downed in Haycarters Pileup

Tonii and Spud, arguably some of the finest products that Team QUON has to offer, were unfortunately caught up in the 41 rider pileup at Cootamundra on the weekend.

The boys were poised to take the race by the scruff of the neck with 5kms to go, and were just ironing out their tactics for the final run in to town when the fall occurred.

Chief Commissaire Peter Tomlinson was quoted after the race as having just placed a hunge on Spud for finish line honours when the chaos in the 140 rider bunch began. "All eyes were on the flashy Blue kit of team QUON - That Tonii was looking the goods for the lead out, and the name Spud was being thrown around all week among the town folk as the rider to watch."

The local T.V. cameraman riding on his motorcycle managed to capture this exclusive footage of Spud taking a tumble.


Coota T.V. would like to wish all those who were injured a speedy recovery.

Team QUON's night of nights

The red carpet has been rolled out for Team QUON's Rod Tidwell Shield presentation night. The paparazzi has flown in from around the world for the red carpet event, and the girls have fully frocked up.

The spectacle has completely overshadowed the SECRET count for the Rod Tidwell Shield, the QUON's best and fairest award for Crit performances over the past season. We are all in anticipation of who will get their name on the trophy.



It should be a great night, and for those who don't know the details of the gala night, it's because you are not a QUONer.

Baby Jesus Rests After Canberra Tour Explosion

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus, laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay, close by me for ever, and love me I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, and fit us for heaven to live with thee there.

Queens Birthday moved to January

In a copy-cat action, The Queen's mother has decided to move her birthday, (and our holiday) to the 17th of January. After the QM's decision during the week to change the actual birthday of his father, the current head of state was overthrown.
The Queen's mother is hoping that a similar coup will occur by changing the Queens Birthday holiday, and subsequently her ugly and un-co grandson can rule the kingdom - just like smitty.

Her majesty is really unsure how one changes their birthday. The QM's phone number has been passed on, as the Pye family seems to hold the key on how to do this. If any other key dates need changing, please give Jason a call;

1800 got shafted

All Hail the New QM - Paul Smith

After last nights Elders voting and the skulling competition; it can be announced that the QUON Master title will be passed to Paul Smith at SOO1 this year.

Paul finished off the year with a flurry of QUON points in brilliant displays of athleticism and drunkenness to claim the title by only 3.5 points from current QM, Piece of Pye. The Baby Jesus on the back of his first Ironman put in a strong showing in the back half of the year to finish third just ahead of the Deputy QM and Rads Nads.

Thanks to all that competed this year. I think we had some very successful new events in the form of the Team Road Race and the Family Triathlon; and some not so successful trips to Wollongong.

Like my neeeegro Tupac says: “It aint nuthin but a gangsta party”
