Stoked on MTB since 1988
Ever wonder where trail fairies come from? There’s a good chance they’re spawned along Weaving Camels, a magical little MTB trail at Melrose, South Australia.

With the sun shining and the local trails almost back to being dry, but rain forecast for the next couple of days there was an opportunity to good to miss today to check out the new ‘Woodbrook’ MTB trail made up of a mix of old, new and brand spanking new trails. I’ve had a touch of the flu but figured if it got worse, well with the rain I probably wouldn’t be riding much in the next couple of days anyway! (more…)
Digging through a bunch of old MTB stuff the other day I stumbled across something ‘Cool’… literally, except even back when it was new in the early 1990’s it was well… pretty daggy! (more…)
