Hello! Thank you for your continued support. I am curently restructuring the website and creating a stack of new content for it. I imagine that this will take me a couple of weeks so keep checking back from time to time. I know the female cycling news is a favourite so I will endeavour to update frequently via twitter. See you soon!

Aussie Butt Cream - Last night I was thinking that someone needed to develop a chamois cream that was suitable for female use (i.e. non-allergenic, no fragrances, no alcohol, none of those sort of ingredients that can cause "issues" for females). Anyway, logged on to this site this morning and one of the google ads was for Aussie Butt Cream. It has been developed by Petrina Quinn, an Aussie endurance cyclist and ironman triathlete. Looks like the answer!
