Always cool to ride somewhere new, even better when it’s not far from home. Thanks to the Wombat MTB crew I headed out to Red, White and Blue mine in the Muckleford State Forest for a spin. The Enduro event the Wombat guys are running out that way on Aug 21 should be sweet. Reckon...

A ‘bonus feature’ of mountain unicycling is how incredibly quiet unicycles are. Apart from the sound of the tread on ground they’re virtually silent out on the trail. MTB’s on the other hand, mainly thanks to the drivetrain and suspension, can make a crap load of...

Relaxing 40km XC ride today with Pete from The Bike Vault, out to Maldon and back. Lots of stuff on in Maldon this weekend incuding ‘Steam trains for kids‘ including big kids I guess! Yes… another pic of the Mojo HD and the steam...

Frost then sunny, my favorite winter’s day forecast and there’s a few of them this week, sweet! I headed out for a midweek Mojo fix and it was also the first longer ride using new Shimano shoes, more about the shoes another time. My neck and head haven’t been their usually...

Had a lot of fun today at the Castlemaine round of the Vic MTBO (Mountain Bike Orienteering) Series. I’ve participated in both 6 hour Cyclic Navigators (on unicycles!) but never a standard MTBO event where unlike the Cyclic Navigator riders must pass through control points in a set...

After a run of wet and cold weather it  felt great to get out on the Mojo HD again, with refreshed legs too. Apart from fallen branches and debri the trails were in prime condition – damp but grippy. During the break it turned out that the Mojo HD needed some love. The White Lightning...

Days like today remind you of just how much room there is in your arse for your own head! I remember being not overly impressed with Mt Tarrengower the first time I saw it and rode down it, some time around the Summer of 1994, and that perception pretty much stayed with me until fairly...

Headed out to Elphinstone this morning with Michael for a quick blat down to Chewton and back. It’s a fun rollercoaster of a ride — you’re either gunning downhill at up to 55km/h or grinding up the other side being mindful of not puking your breakfast, and not much else in...

The upcoming Castlemaine round of the Interwinter XC series is being held in the Walmer State Forest in a section of bush otherwise known as Baco, as it backs onto the Bacon Factory. Being only a couple of minutes from home I ride through Baco often on the way to the network of trails that...
