I headed out in the middle of the day along the Great Dividing Trail looking for a flowy stretch of trail shown in one of the Rocky Rider videos on Youtube. (more…)

Another spec’y cool, clear morning. Fired up the Mojo and headed out Baco way including a full reverse lap of Ken’s. It’s the first time I’d ridden Ken’s in the reverse direction and really enjoyed it, definitely a few sections that have a better flow in reverse. A few sections though were clearly made to run the other way. In terms of overall joy factor both directions probably balance out I reckon. (more…)

With rain forecast over the next day or so thought it would be worth squeezing in a ride. The work van was up at the mechanics in Wesley Hill and needed picking up, a one way ride opportunity too good to miss. (more…)

Unless you work in the bike industry where a continuous stream of cool wheeled goodies come and go, if you’re anything like me your current ride is your world. When you’re not riding it, chances are you’re obsessing about it — component choices, pressures, maintenance, reliving previous rides, dreaming about rides to come. (more…)

Another spec’y fine ‘summer’ day, cool enough to head out for a midday ride, love this weather pattern! (more…)

What a flat, dry, treeless, hot and rocky um err.. landscape — who would want to live or ride there? That was my first impression of Central Victoria in the mid 90’s, the mission being to see where my partner grew up and meet her family. Funny really, as I now realize that any time you have that sort of reaction to a place chances are it means you’ll end up living there one day! (more…)

Headed down early in the morning from Castlemaine with Julien to ride the Wombat Trail at Woodend before the forecast 35-40 degree heat kicked in. (more…)

I couldn’t get organized in time to join the Rocky Riders Australia Day ride yesterday morning but headed out later anyway hoping to cross paths with the group somewhere along the way. It wasn’t to be but no worries it was a good ride anyway, ~30km of single track. (more…)
