Getting out on trails you haven’t ridden on for a long time… it’s a bit like catching up with old friends. Looking forward to doing more of that! (more…)

Getting out to the mountain bike trails at Redesdale has been sitting on the list of things I’ve gotta get around to doing for a while now, a bit lame since Redesdale is only 30k or so from Castlemaine. I’ve been attempting to manage my riding better this year – riding three times a week max hoping to stay away from my good buddy, the valley of fatigue. So with perfect riding weather to boot I finally got out to Redesdale over the weekend and had a blast. (more…)

I upgraded the rear shifter from XT to XTR a couple of weeks back now and am loving it! The difference between the two shifters is surprising.

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! (more…)

Got the new 2012 XT brakes fitted on the Mojo HD, have been looking forward to these!

Dropped down from a 180mm rotor to 160mm on the front. 160mm on the rear. (more…)

A new year, a fresh start. Time to get my act together and fit some long awaited goodies to the Mojo HD. Plan was to fit an XTR Shadow Plus…

I’ve been super keen to try out an XTR Shadow Plus derailleur – for improved shifting performance and significantly reduced noise (via the derailleur’s beefy chain management system). (more…)

01 01 2012. Awoke to find the earth’s crust still intact, went out for an early morning MTB ride, followed by coco pops for breakfast. Hope the year hasn’t peaked too soon! 😛 (more…)
