It might be Summer in Australia but the mountains turned on some serious sub zero weather conditions for week one of work on Mt Buller’s new ‘EPIC’ trail. (more…)

Mt Buller has been on my MTB bucket list for a few years now. Summers have come and gone yet for whatever reason I’ve never got around to checking out what has become Victoria’s premiere riding destination. Maybe I’ve been waiting for this! (more…)

Farewell Stumpy

Just like they say in The Matrix, everything that has a beginning has an end. I didn’t want to let go of my old 1991 Stumpy but seeing it sit in the shed and gather dust wasn’t much fun either. It needed a better home. (more…)

From creating and maintaining ‘illegal’ trails in the Central Victorian bush to working on the 2014 World Cup XC and DH trails in Far North Queensland for World Trail. Who would have saw that coming? Not me that’s for sure… well maybe in my dreams! (more…)

I’ve been drooling over trail construction images posted to World Trail’s Facebook page for what seems to be forever.

Some of the best adventures are the unexpected ones! I felt pretty good after riding the Douglas Trails in the morning and while refueling on a Coke and burger on The Strand decided to check out the trails at Pallarenda before heading home to Ayr. I didn’t know much about the ‘Under the Radar’ trail other than local ‘outtacontrol’ saying it had incredible views over the ocean. That’s enough for me! (more…)
