Have I ever struck a golden nugget for you! I’ve been working behind the scenes with Musashi for a while now to hold a competition with their top athletes, Anna Meares and Shane Perkins. Why stuff around? Why not go straight to the top? I’m sure you saw how well they did at the Track World Cup last weekend and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. It’s taken a lot of planning but it’s finally going to happen!
What is this competition?
This is your chance to win a cycling experience that money cannot buy. We’ve set up a draw for you and 9 others to win a sprint and skills clinic with Anna Meares and Shane Perkins. No, this isn’t a track specific session – it’s for all species of cyclists and will teach you the fundamentals and advanced techniques of how to demolish your mates. Shock and awe! Rapid dominance! They won’t know what hit them after you’re done here. There will also be a cycling specific nutritional seminar as well as a gym tips session with Anna and Shane. You’re gonna come out of this day twice the cyclists you were when you went in.
You’d be hard pressed to find two better athletes in the world to teach you this stuff. Both Anna and Shane are extremely down to earth people and it’s a pleasure just to have a simple chat with them. No secrets here. They’re gonna teach you all the tricks of the trade. My goal – to have Anna teach me how to do a 52.6 second sprint up Ricketts Point. That’s what this whole thing is about in fact ;-)
We’ll be making the draw in a couple weeks and the skills clinic will take place on December 19 in Melbourne. Musashi has also offered to fly two people in from QLD and/or NSW for a weekend away, so it’s not only Melbournians who are privy to this competition.
It doesn’t stop here…
The 10 winners will also receive $250 of Musashi nutritional product. There will also be 5 runner up prizes with $150 of Musashi product given away. How good is this??? Since there’s more prizes than readers of this blog nearly everyone is going to be a winner.
Click either on the Musashi advertisement in the right column or here to enter and for more competition details.
Let me know if you have any questions. I’m pretty excited about this. I’ll be at the skills clinic as well on Dec 19 and looking forward to meeting 10 of you face to face!

CT there is no Musashi advert in the right column.
Not sure why. Thanks for flagging it. Do you have an ad blocker installed in your browser?
Regardless, I've now put a link in the post or you can go to the same place below:

Its this technoloy thing I kkep saying its just a passing fad.
No blocker but thats ok I run Linux at work and that is just strange.
Thanks for the link.
How did you find working with Tim etc at Musashi?
I worked there a few years ago before I joined the tech sector.
I wasn't working directly with Musashi – I was working with the external agency they hired for this promotion. Everything would have went through them though.
Got ya. They are a great bunch over there and have turned that into a terrific business.
Have a good weekend.
Cheers
CT, you've managed to drop my jaw twice in two days – as a wannabe sprinter you've secured the dream team of track talent to be tutors for the lucky winners! I will now cease my current practice of telling everybody I meet that they need to get on the Cycling Tips bus until the competiton is drawn. Keeping it on the down low in the hope that only 9 other punters enter…
What about SA residents? Are we omitted?
Wade-o
Looking fwd to you
a) picking a weekend I will actually be home in Hampton so I can spin down, and
b) flying Pelizotti or Contador or another elite mountain ninja down so we can do a skillz session on Ricketts. Actually, why not get crazy and do it at Macedon/Dandys etc.
Great work C T. This blog continues to improve where many others head south.
I think I speak for everyone in Australia by saying we are glad you did head off to India!
Is that Shane Perkins or Dave Grohl in the photo??
I'm in
WA residents? Can we still enter and fund our own way there? Or partially fund and Musashi fund part too?
I've entered anyway and deal with it once I win (which obviously I will).
Bugger…. I clicked on the add this morning, (before this topic post) hoping that not too many people had seen it…. oh well.
Once again great work CT….Although i find myself saying that 5 times a week lately :)
The corporate proxy blocked the ad. Thanks for the direct link.
Hey folks, my apologies for not making it more clear. Entries are happily accepted from all over Australia however there is only enough in the budget to fly one person from QLD and NSW. If you win and you're from Woop Woop you can definitely attend if you make your own way down to Melbourne.
Ha! Put a goatee on and it would look a lot like him!
Great prize Wade. some time in the future, can you have a competition for people overseas?
Maybe with something like a CT kit as a prize, as the kit has to be one of the best I have ever seen.
That's a great suggestion. I have something in mind for our next competition that will be loads of fun for everybody!
Once again great work CT!
Now I've just got to work on my Euro Pro tan to distract the real pros from noticing my distinct lack of sprinting ability…
To help with motivation check out “standing start”. A short doc about a track sprinter combined with some philosophy. From the UK.
