2012 Australian Masters Road Time Trial Championships - Breadalbane, October 3rd 2012

No tales or race commentary, just a huge thank-you to everyone who helped me on the journey to the 2012 Australian Masters Time Trial Championships in Breadalbane (NSW) last week. Winning my 4th consecutive title and setting the fastest time of the day involved a lot more than riding flat out for 30 minutes.
