Kung Fu on wheels.
Headed out to Muckleford State Forest this arvo to learn my way around the trails. I’d been out there last weekend with the Wombat MTB crew who were checking things out for the upcoming Mountain Challenge Enduro race. (more…)
Have been nursing the body along since a crash in early June, my left side and neck especially have been fairly ordinary since then. (more…)
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. (more…)
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 noise. That’s part of the trade off I guess but it’s those random ‘new’ creaks that MTB’s make from time to time that can drive you to distraction. (more…)
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! (more…)
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. (more…)
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 order and get to the finish in the shortest time possible.

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. (more…)
