Fris has been killing it in the US. Now he's here to wow a crowd!
He says he’s just a simple man "trying to make my way in the galaxy". We think not!!! Not just an ordinary or simple man. A Weapon! A Crowd Thriller! The Ultimate Racer! At the 2025 US National Championships, he won gold in.... The Elimination race The Omnium The Team pursuit. He has more than two dozen Australian Titles... and he’s already won three Burnie Wheelraces. Two more and he'll have more Burnie Wheel sashes than all but one. Officially, he's from the US now . But

Monstrous talent heading for our Carnivals!!!
What I’m about to tell you is exceptional, yes... but it's even more extraordinary than you might think. Angus Hincksman claimed two golds in the 800m and 1500m at the U18 State Championships in 2022. Cool right! Yes, but what makes it truly extraordinary is that Angus is a para-athlete in a category that includes athletes with a range of disabilities or impairments. . . and he was running in able-bodied competition ! He was diagnosed with a brain injury at birth, suffering

Tassie's fastest woman headlines the Womens Gift in 2025
Chelsea Scolyer is addicted to the chase. And just as well... she’ll be giving away metres to every woman at the Christmas Carnivals. A hamstring injury during the World U20 Championships and another setback in January kept her off the national stage, but Chelsea is now healthy, focused, and ready to take on the Carnivals! The women’s field is big and there’s plenty of quality. • Chelsea chasing a gap! • Kayedel Smith and Ebony Newton trying to hold her while all three try

One of our very best. Perhaps the nicest bloke in Tasmanian Cycling.
Local road cycling legend Nathan Earle is having his last professional race... on a track bike no less! And it will be here in Hobart at the Bikes and Spikes where he’ll be saying an official 'Goodbye' to his professional career. There's a lot to brag about... but he never has... he never would. So here's just a snippet from us. He beat Alberto Contador’s Everesting time to unofficially lead the world in the Everest Challenge... finally officially listed as third. By the tim

Tomorrow! The most interesting Rosebery Carnival in a century.
Getting here has been a bit of an ordeal! They missed their flight by ten minutes due to customs delays! Anxious messages flying (unlike the team:( ) between organisers and our stars. Finally boarded, but... but... but what! Some of their bikes re-emerged from the plane hold and were taken away in a truck!!! Panic!!!!!!!!!!! Then they were notified that all their gear - there was a pile of it - was going on another plane because their plane was full... over full in fact. An

I got chills. Multiple Chills. Great battles coming!
Thanks for the sensational photo Con Chronis!!! That’s Ella Liang. She’s already broken the Championship, National and WORLD records in the JW19 Time Trial at our National Championships... and brought home some shiny metal from World Championships in August. Now she’s heading south to break some hearts at our Christmas Carnivals! She’ll have some very impressive competition from two-time Junior World Champ Lauren Perry and Elite World Championship Silver Medalist Kristina Clo

BOOM! Two days to go. Rosebery is about to go off!
Yep... that's a bundle of talent in a tiny West Coast town. And the prize money is bigger than almost every other Carnival! That means desperation. And desperation means entertainment! Jame Carney, described by many as the best US track cyclist of all time, is bringing his college team to Rosebery!!!! It's probably going to be a while before we see talent like this on the West Coast again. Unless you can sell him a place in Rosebery. He loves it! 14 year old record breaker,

Jack's back and firing, after "best European season ever"!
We know his story. Prodigy. National Records. Phenomenal, natural speed... and we loved him! There’s been injury. The weight of expectation. More injury. Glory. Setbacks. Comebacks. Fightback. Almost made the Carnivals a few times recently, but s#!+ happens and sometimes your body lets you down. But here he is. In form after an exciting European season and you can see the Jack we love at Hobart Bikes and Spikes on Dec 27th, Devonport on December 29th and Burnie on December 3

The Flying Burrito is coming!!!!
The movie Korey Boddington featured in, about Para-cyclists heading to the Paris Olympics was a flop here in Hobart and was cancelled in Launceston ... but only because no one knew about it! It was brilliant. Not just good. Inspiring. Heart-wrenching AND heart-warming, The person with me was expecting to be bored out of their brain and didn’t want to be there. Minutes in, and they were laughing, smiling unknowingly, and I’m pretty sure I saw tears. I know I was choking some
