Kung Fu on wheels.
I’ve been feeling a little out of whack the last few days and should’ve opted for an easy cruise today but instead headed out to the Pineys. Not surprisingly it was only 10 minutes or so into the ride before I’d wrapped myself around a pine tree, watching the bike bounce on down the trail without me. I’m all up for tree hugging but dang… OUCH! (more…)
With all the riding over the last few weeks Mojo HD was starting to look pretty grubby, time for a good clean. The HD scrubs up really well, highlighting its svelte and sugary carbon fibre lines. (more…)
It’s been ages since I’ve used the Ay-Up Lights as there’s been no need for night riding to escape the Summer heat — it only made a brief appearance. Bit of a bummer in a way as being out in the bush at night is great fun. So with the days getting shorter and the end of daylight savings not too far away it was time to charge up the lights and go nocturnal Mojo HD style. (more…)
Dunno what it is with this one tree in particular. I just seem to keep clipping it with the end of the handlebar. (more…)
Autumn officially starts in less than week but already we’ve had a couple of crisp days and nights. It’s been a cracker of a Summer really, relatively mild, lots of rain but much rather rain than the usual searing, dry heat and bushfire risk. Love Autumn though, typically awesome weather for being active outdoors. (more…)
An antiques and collectables fair has been on at Maldon this weekend, strangely including two fossil MTB guys who ended up on Mt Tarrengower’s downhill Valley run admist a sea of downhilling youngin’s. (more…)
From the bulldozer activity today it looks like the fuel reduction burn planned for earlier in the Summer is now on the cards for a large area of bush on the north west edge of town, the aim being to reduce the risk and severity of catastrophic bush fire events by reducing the amount of fuel. That’s the theory anyway, it’s a practice that has as many detractors as supporters. (more…)
Some aching in the legs so went out for a light XC ride to detox. I headed out to Maldon along tracks and trails that follow the Victorian Goldfields Railway. (more…)
