Welcome to the Terra Australis

The maddest bloke on a mountain bike, Mark Fenner from FTP Training has pulled together a great training program for those looking at competing in the T3 this year. Mark developed this program for his wife who is competing in T3 in March. Not long to go, the training needs to work from here on in.

“It is not the mountain that we conquer, but ourselves” Sir Edmund Hillary.

 "The Terra Australis in 2010 has been the highlight of my mountain biking life. The opportunity to ride in some of Australia’s most amazing terrain with amazing people will stay with me forever. The only thing more amazing than the scenery, the other racers and the support crew was the feeling of holding my mates hand in the air as we crossed the finish line in Wangaratta. That’s a highlight for life".
Graham Menzies - Terra Australis finisher 2010

“Overall the Terra was a fantastic week of racing, it challenged, it thrilled, it amazed us all with the scenery and stunning vistas from the mountain tops. The organisation was first class and special mention should go out to the Finish Line Team…... I can definitely recommend the Terra Australis to those who want a real challenge, a life changing experience amongst likeminded people. It is a race for some it is a personal journey for others, it will whatever your motivation be in your soul forever.”        
Mark Fenner – Total Rush/Specialized Team – 2nd place, Terra Australis 2009.

“In a word,.....WOW!!!
Without a doubt one of the best events I've experienced, with all the right ingredients,
Extremely challenging terrain with stunning scenery, really well organized (hats off to Iain, Clayton & the whole Finish Line events crew), Great people with lots of laughs & friendships forged & perfect weather all thrown in with the fresh mountain air”.
Troy Bailey  -  BMC Racing  -  3rd place  - Terra Australis 2009

“Going into the event I wasn’t sure what to expect…….But by the end of the week the realisation that we were going to achieve some thing great was overwhelming”
Peter Hepworth  -  Topgear/Avanti  -  7th place  -  Terra Australis 2009

“As well as Mountainbiking, there was one thing that united us all and that was the belief that happiness and a sense of achievement comes from doing tough stuff. If you shy away from a challenge like this, you will never feel as good as I do right now and that’s a fact”.
Matt Hart  -  TORQ International  -  4th place  -  Terra Australis 2009
