Lake Wendouree, Ballarat

Lake Wendouree Cruise

I had a few jobs to do in Ballarat (a regional ‘city’ in country Victoria) including dropping off the plans for the latest XC GUNI Bar prototype (should be ready late next week!) and took the 36 GUNI along just in case I had some spare time for a ride. As it turned out I had just enough time for a quick 15 minute cruise around Lake Wendouree, which for the last few years has been a lake in name only due to the ongoing drought conditions. The lake is bone dry and has even caught on fire over the last couple of summers! (more…)

My second set of Ay Up lights arrived the other day. It was finally time to test them! I’d ordered a narrow light to replace the intermediate light on my helmet, with the intermediate light now being fitted to my XC bars, resulting in a typical MTB night Ay Up setup. (more…)

Could the KH36 GUNI be the perfect uni? Maybe! I have really been enjoying riding my KH36 GUNI. (more…)

With the unusually hot summer here in Victoria I’ve been riding more in the evenings and nights, which has meant upgrading my lights to something a little more suitable for uni and safer to ride by. (more…)

Break on the Trailer Track

Another favorite ride of mine is the Trailer Track Loop – a fun mix of dirt road, fire trails, bush and single track, climbs and descents in the Wombat Forest, Victoria Australia. The highlight is the descent down to the Loddon River on the Trailer Track which drops down through the bush to the river, trees backlit by the low sun in the west, with the hill progressively getting steeper and steeper.

Muckleford Railway Station

Had a fun ride today, and my first riding with another unicyclist. I met up with Matt at the Castlemaine Railway Station in the morning and we headed out to Maldon on the back roads, via Muckleford and Walmer. After a coffee in Maldon we headed up Mt Tarrengower. Matt made it to the top, I piked out half way, my 137’s didn’t have the cranking power and neither did I on the day. I’ll have to return with 150’s for another attempt! (more…)

6 Hours of your own Amazing Race! I’ve been looking forward to the Cyclic Navigator, a 6 hour MTB Orienteering style event where the aim is to reach as many control points hidden in the forest as you can within the time available, all the while riding the route of your choice. (more…)

KH36 Afternoon MUNI Cruise, Wombat Forest

I’ve been loving cruising the tracks and trails in the Wombat State Forest on my KH36 – the speed and smooth rolling of the big wheel is a blast off road. It’s amazing the off road terrain you can cover with 125 cranks – I guess the lack of control is offset by the speed! (more…)
