Had a great ride round the new short loop with Shaz and friends up from Melbourne. After good rain earlier in the week followed by a light sprinkling the night before the trails were in prime condition, grippy with no dust. Good fun (and a little strange) to ride in a group. Lots of fun to...

Fun early ride with Guy and Andy from Melbourne around Baco and the trails heading across towards Barkers Creek. Followed up by a cool down in the pool. Tough way to start the day!

After the drought ending rain earlier in the year the woods are jam packed with an amazing display of wildflowers this Spring. On a fine Saturday afternoon bizarrely you don’t come across anyone else out on the trails. It makes for great riding in a selfish kind of way but the lack of...

I got a cool gift from my fam for my birthday, a GoPro Chesty strap, but haven’t had a chance to mess around with it as I’ve been sick with the flu since and haven’t been out on the bike. Such a nice day outside today I thought screw the flu, I’m outta here. What...

Have been nursing the body along since a crash in early June, my left side and neck especially have been fairly ordinary since then. Finally got down to the Chiro (AKA Goldfinger) in Melbourne yesterday. 4 ribs whacked on the left side, pelvis twisted along with the C2 gizmo in my neck. Not...

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...

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...

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...

Almost ended up in the drink today! The trail drops down into a gully, crossing the top of a small seasonal waterfall. After rain the wet slimey rocks at the top of the ledge can get MEGA slippery and while it’s only a very short section the trail runs within a few inches of the edge....
