Better Late Than Never

Wow, the long hot Summer has been replaced by short cool Autumn days and cold evenings. It’s taking a while for the body’s thermostat to adjust!

Not the Grand Canyon

I spent a couple of hours late in the day digging a little trail down an eroded gully. It might not be the Grand Canyon but it’s still a pretty cool setting. I’ve often walked along it and wondered what it would be like to ride it. Turns out it’s good fun. I went back […]

Race the Train

There’s a pretty cool fun event coming up in Central Victoria called ‘Race the Train‘. Cyclists have the opportunity to ride/race alongside the Goldfields Railway Steam Train between the towns of Castlemaine and Maldon.

Scratching Around

Headed back out to Red Tape this arvo and scratched in some (more!) alternative lines in the top section, still in search of more fun factor before digging in. Hope it rides OK when I take the Mojo HD out on it tomorrow. One cool thing is there seems to be a reasonable amount of […]

Cutting Red Tape

Like a rabid rakehoe junkie I’ve been beavering away on a new section of trail, dubbed ‘Red Tape’. Hopefully it’ll end up being a fun little extension to an already fun loop but the hills ain’t giving up their secrets so readily this time around.

S is for Singletrack

The cool damp weather didn’t last long at all. It’s been a hot, dry and dusty start to Autumn – perfect I guess for more night riding! I’ve been enjoying becoming more familiar with fresh trails at night as well as testing new Exposure bike lights (big thanks to BikeBox). Look out for a review […]
