Hi all

Main Link:  My Smugmug photo gallery of the 2011 Mooloolaba Triathlon Bike Leg.

Last weekend I was lucky to be able to take 2 day trips to the 2011 Mooloolaba Triathlon Festival. In this post we'll look at some bike leg pics from the open / public Mooloolaba Triathlon organised by USM Events. The event catered for both individual and teams competition, so in the following set of bike leg pics, some participants will be triathletes and others will be specialist cyclists:
