U Turn Permitted
Don’t need to ride many Central Victorian trails before you come across super tight corners, switchbacks or u turns, sometimes lots of them, strung together one after another. Whatever you call them, whether climbing or descending they can be tricky little suckers to negotiate. All of the sudden the wheelbase of your MTB starts to […]
Baco Trails
Had a sweet late afternoon/early evening ride out Baco — so many trails, the more you ride the more you find, great fun piecing it all together. It was a treat to be out so late in the bush, as usually with my early morning shifts I’m off to bed early but with time off […]
Great Dividing Trail
Great ride with Julien late in the day, taking in arguably the best section of singletrack on the Mt Franklin to Castlemaine section of the Great Dividing Trail.
High Roller
The 1×10 Drivetrain has been chugging along nicely, lots of places where the 36 (on the 11-36) comes in handy, definitely a worthwhile upgrade to the 1×9. The shifting performance is also much improved thanks to XT Dyna-sys, sweet!
The Pineys
Woke up to a Queensland-ish morning – sunny, warm and humid. After the forecast severe storms failed to show during the night it was a great opportunity to get out for a ride, before the next front passes over in the coming days.
Mojo at The Monk
Woohoo! first sunny day we’ve had for some time. The trails around Castlemaine drain off and dry out fairly quickly, not much top soil left from all the gold mining, mainly rocks. Even so I thought it would be best to stay out of the gully areas which are still draining the water away and […]
Just Keep Walking
Out spending some quality time with the Mojo HD, furtherest point of the ride from home when dang, the cranks are no longer spinning freely, making a grinding sound once each revolution, seem to be binding on something.
Return of the Prodigal Mojo
Nothing like a direct injection of MTB Mojo HD to jolt you awake from the half conscious haze of the daily grind. Ride More Work Less. Amen to that!
