Testing out the Stumpy FSR 29'er was a good opportunity to check out the 2x10 drive train and see how it compares to the 1x10 I've been running on the…

A thread on Rotorburn a while back asked What defines AM to you?. All Mountain may be category of bike but it’s way more than that. The heart of MTB is AM, where it’s all about The Ride. It’s not about the race, not about the weight of your bike, what clothes you’re wearing, or what gear you are running. It’s about the adventure, the flow, the rush. Yeah you know what I mean!

There have been some good snow falls the last day or two thanks to a serious cold front that’s passing over Victoria. I half thought there might even be snow on the Central Highlands early this morning, but not to be, not yet this year anyway. (more…)

Mt Tarrengower is made from hornsfels, a collection of super heated and hardened volcanic rocks. Beneath the tree cover there is no shortage of rough stuff. (more…)

Heading out on an MTB ride from hippie-ville involves crossing up and over a heavily mined bush reserve directly behind our place. It’s a great fun way to start each ride as jetting down the through the bush reserve before briefly entering suburbia reminds me of Batman and Robin leaving the (original) Batcave, with the Batman intro theme playing in my head of course! 😛 (more…)

3 Hour Invitational, Sheep's Head, Easter 2011

3Hr Easter Invitational

A cool invitation arrived in the inbox a while back, to a Easter Invitational MTB 3 Hour Enduro (thanks Madhatter) . It’s been a long time since I’ve participated in a multi lap MTB event — Thredbo and Buller back in the summer of 1993/1994 I guess, competitive cycling has never been my thing — but the Easter Invitational had a relaxed family vibe and I reckoned it would be a fun thing to do, to ride somewhere new and meet up riders you’d never meet otherwise.
