Aussies in Thailand

Brisbane riders Chris Carson, Stuart Cowin and Ben Vanderkamp will join Sydney rider Peter Spencer to contest the Heritage Tour of Thailand this Saturday. The tour covers 750km over five days taking in spectacular scenery to the north of Bangkok.

Carson and Vanderkamp competed in last year's national Tour of Thailand, where Vanderkamp finished sixth and Spencer finished second overall in the junior category. Last year's Tour of Thailand race winner, Hilton McMurdo, is also reputed to be attending with a Perth based team.

The tour has been organised by the Thailand Cycling Association and is being used as a fund raiser for the Tsunami relief efforts from the Boxing Day disaster last year.
