Early Birds

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!

Spring Equinox – A little movie

Heya, here’s a little video I’ve made — it’s been a wee labor of love the last month or so. I guess it’s about the Spring wildflowers, magpies and mountain biking… or it could be about a mid 40’s guy having yet another immensely enjoyable mid life crisis.

Crash Test Dummy

That seemed to end up well then...

Here’s the funny thing about turns in the trail – they curve instead of going straight, go figure!
