I’m sitting here at Auckland International Airport just along from the GIANT picture of Gabby Molloy and Anja MacDonald (opposite gate 16 if you want to know) about to board a plane that eventually will land me in Milan, Italy. From there I’ll be heading to Champery (first time driving on the right/wrong side of the road) for round four of the UCI World Cup to bring you live, well daily, posts. Then it’s off to Les Deux Alpes to the GT bikes 2011 product launch to check out a few new models and some recently revived ones! You can expect some hearty posts from there as well. Then it’s off to Val di Sole for round five of the World Cup and more updates from me. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to photograph some Kiwis on the podium!

Jump aboard the new COMMENCAL T.E.M.P.O with Hugo Frixtalon in British Columbia for this edit that oozes that late summer heat feel!
The T.E.M.P.O is our brand new short travel trail bike, a real playful powerhouse, designed to make the most of all those dream trails where the terrain is just calling out for you to enjoy.
Driving on the other side of the road is easy when there’s other cars around.
Driving alone late at night is where it has a habit catching you out.
