A while back Ibis released a very cool Bike Set-Up Guide. It’s packed full of useful info and cool illustrations, even including a recipe for Chuck’s home made energy bars. Over the last few weeks I’ve been pawing over the details and tips and tricks related to setting up the Mojo HD. (more…)
The most important part of doing bread runs in the wee hours of the morning would have to be the double shot of espresso, injected directly into my eyeballs at the start of the shift, usually followed up by another double shot after work — then I’m set for the rest of the day. (more…)
The Wombat MTB Trail on the outskirts of Woodend gets pretty busy during the weekends. I’ve been wanting to get back there since the last Vanilla Slice Quest so thought it would be best to go Wombat Off Peak and headed over late afternoon.

I’d never been to a Formula One race, slack of me I guess as the Albert Park circuit is not much over an hour away by car. (I have ridden a geared unicycle around the circuit though but that’s another story!) With the future of the Australian round in doubt I figured it was time to check it out, especially since I would be in Melbourne on the Friday of the Formula One event. (more…)
