Alastair Evans

+60km/h, downhill, crash in the peleton, helicopter transport. A series of words no cyclist wants to be a part of. This was the scenario Will Celis found himself in twelve months ago. A huge crash at the PDCC North Dandalup handicap on the downhill run to the finish line, left Will unconcious and in intensive care in Royal Perth Hospital. What happens next needs to be heard to be believed, we were fortunate enough to look into his eyes as he told it and it definitely left a mark on us. Will is a remarkable man and a great mentor to many people he meets. His story of recovery, self reflection and reprioritisation of what's important in life has something for everyone. Take a quiet moment for this one.

We bring you two of the hottest talents coming out of WA (short for Where it's At)! With enough jerseys between them to start a clothing label, these Gen cXr's are shaping the landscape locally, leaving a cleat print on all 3 disciplines; cX, Road and MTB. Just like their generation, Tristan and Zoe are worthy of attention, especially now as they are entering adulthood ie... elite competition! Their formative years were shaped by fun loving, active families, who provided opportunities for them on two wheels, and it's this freedom approach that's keeping Tristan and Zoe grounded as the stakes climb higher. With some big events still to come in 2022 for these young stars, listeners will no doubt become invested in their futures as both reveal their determined, light hearted and lively personalities.

Alastair and Craig pull up a stool at the uber cool Lyric Lane Underground for a chat and a beer with President of the Roues Chaudes Cycling Club Daniel O'Donoghue. We hear about the genesis of the club and the racing scene in Perth, talk about the opportunities and struggles faced by clubs in the current era and just what is needed to put the sport of cycling onto a more sustainable path for the future. If you are a fan and active participant of the cycling racing scene, or the sport in general, you must listen and get involved to keep these clubs around. Some advocacy for cycling as a sport is needed desperately in Western Australia, and this episode builds on the themes covered in "Peeling back PDCC" and "Chris Tallentire MLA" and really shines a light on just how precarious the situation really is. A massive thanks to our Season Three sponsors Lakes Bikes Cockburn and Professional Whey.

Chris has an infectious story telling style and when you mention the bike and cycling his whole face lights up (you'll likely hear this all throughout the chat).

Alastair sits down with OG duo Josh Vinci and Luke Bartlett from Swan Drafting Cycling Club. This is a great chat about the genesis of the club and how they've developed and maintained the culture of the club. We talk racing, bunchies, the joys of kit design and creating a splash in the Perth scene. The love of beer and bikes shines through in this one, as does a theme of using the bike as a conduit for self care physically and mentally. Beers were potentially consumed during this chat as we sat back and chewed the fat. Enjoy, follow swandrafting_cc on Instagram and check out the kit posts and recent ToMR team reveals..... hilarious!! Big shout outs from the SDCC boys to Dan from Stx, the crew at Pedal Mafia and Giant Osborne Park.

We donât like to talk about it, but lately itâs impossible to ignore. Crashes have increased significantly, with carnage occurring on a consistent basis. The tail end of the winter road series saw some of this, as did the Tour of Margaret River, and recently the start of the summer criteriums has seen frequent crashes. Are we looking at a strength Vs skill issue, a respect and etiquette issue, or is this part of the sport and something we canât influence? The Amateur Hour speaks with 3 highly respected members of the local racing scene, Stevie Hall, Adam Jones and fan favourite Ali Milne. Each offer their insight on the topic, helping us reflect on what has been a challenging period for all involved in the sport, while offering some learned wisdoms when it comes to bunch racing. As we come to the close of Season 2 for the podcast, we wish listeners a safe and happy festival period. The Amateur Hour will be back next year for another lap and we canât wait to keep promoting this awesome sport on two wheels. Cheers, Alastair and Craig đđđđťđ´đźââď¸đ´ââď¸đ

The biggest race of the season. A pure classic. Hilly and hard. This yearâs edition of the Peel Classic was all of the above. Throw into that mix a torrential downpour with hail, thunder and lightning and you have a day to remember.

Meet Toby Brown, team manager of Dome Coffee Cycling Team. 10 years ago Toby and a few mates started a shop team which has gradually grown into one of Perthâs most successful teams. Initially sponsoring with his Dome Cafe, Toby soon gained sponsorship from the franchise and grew the roster into a competitive and highly respected racing team, which competed locally and overseas. Putting people first throughout the journey, Toby created a clear identity for the team, one where riders were aware they were not only representing their sponsor, but also the families behind the name Dome Coffee.

The racing scene in Perth has taken off these last 2 years. Increased interest in men, women and juniors has seen bigger bunches, faster racing and more race options to choose from across a calendar year.

Road Running. Itâs like the weather. Fickle. One minute youâre flying, the next youâre becoming best buds with your physio to overcome the latest ailment in your foot/calf/toe/shin you name it. Meet Fran Lang, trail and endurance runner, super mum and full-time worker. Trail running found Fran at an opportune time in life! Recently married, promoted at work and planning to start a family, road running didnât cut it. Injuries took their toll, and Fran wasnât getting the fix her mind and body so needed. Through a friend the trails appeared. Soon Fran was getting greater variety in running, hills, scenery, social and serious fun. The pressure of road running was replaced with the freedom of trails, and this flowed into other areas of her life. A whole other world of running opened up, and Fran threw herself into some trail events and immediately found her groove. Think 3am starts, back to back to back marathons and all of a sudden, Fran was hooked. Sheâd found the missing piece of the exercise puzzle, and the flow on effect to work/home life was noticeable. Soon after, Fran and her husband Matt learned the exciting news they were expecting a baby boy. This introduced all new challenges to their lives as the goal posts shifted when it came to exercise. Fran had to adapt her mindset quickly, re evaluate goals and come back to why she loves running in the first place. Listeners will learn great insights into creating opportunities for training and adjusting your expectations. The power of the mind. For those amateur athletes out there, I know youâll appreciate Franâs story. Sheâs one hell of a story teller, and I hope you take something away from this latest instalment of, The Amateur Hour.
