CYCLE SEARCH AUSTRALIA  is successfully progressing with Era by Era listings of Elite Australian Racing Cyclists, of each State, as per an all States Formula - up to year 2000, (with consideration to eventually extending to later years).      Cycle Search Information is being accepted for viewing on this web site, and by www.aussiecycling.com.au.champions  courtesy of Alban McGuiness) 

     From the State Listings a National Listing is being developed, of “Super Elite Australian Cyclists”, and including brief performance profiles of each as available.   Some riders have an estimation of their cycling career years or ‘peak performance’ year/s, in brackets, after their name.    (We seek such research assistance about the others).   Some States have already supplied draft profiles of some of their riders.    In due course, there will be more lengthy and detailed profiles of ‘The More Prominent’ Super Elite.   Some of those being researched or currently listed may not comply with the formula, but eventually there will be a separate listing for those considered as Super but not as Prominent.    We invite any suggestions about recording this history of our best cyclists or how it could be handled differently  To-date the exercise is unsponsored  and completely honorary.        .

 Additions will be made as research progresses.    Any assistance in writing will  be appreciated .(especially if accompanied by printed matter)    Riders not included, but who consider they comply with the formula, are invited to apply.    A separate listing of Elite Women Cyclists  has been commenced----Refer below.

 Comments in writing invited.  Please include a stamped addressed envelope if a reply required..
