The trails might be dry and dusty but at least there’s no shortage of daylight during Summer, making evening rides a thing to be savored. I like to mark each solstice with a ride so headed out on my Mojo HDR to enjoy the most daylight hours in 2014. (more…)
My oldest daughter and I have been talking about riding the Slingshot together for ages. Problem is the nearest one is ~1800km away! As luck would have it though a recent family reunion in Queensland meant this was one ride we just had to take! (more…)
It’s shaping up to be another dry and hot Summer, which is pretty much all it can be in Central Victoria! Here’s a few GoPro pics from recent rides. (more…)
Ibis Cycles release the Mojo HD Generation 3 (Mojo HD3)
The new Mojo HD3 is the third act in the Mojo HD/Mojo HDR trailbike trilogy. Everything is new from the ground-up, notably featuring the latest and greatest refinement of the famed dw-link suspension. Geometry is fully modern: longer, lower and slacker, with 6” of plush rear wheel travel. We’ve built in versatile internal routing and updated the frame design, allowing us to put a water bottle on top of the downtube. We also achieve a drop in weight and pedaling performance on par with the Ripley, so the bike is very fast going up, and scary fast going down. (more…)
Being on World Trail’s Alpine EPIC crew at Mt Buller last Summer was awesome. Finally the time has come for the trail to open (on December 6th). Here’s a little look behind the scenes, at a day in the life of the Alpine EPIC. (more…)
It feels great to be back on the hand tools after few months off, even if it’s just a few hours here and there making minor changes to trails. One thing is for sure though – riding fresh trails for the first time after a building session is always good fun! (more…)
Bike Buller have posted a video teaser of the new Australian Alpine EPIC trail due to open on December 6th.
It was a dream come true to work with World Trail last Summer on the EPIC trail and I’m super proud of what we achieved. I don’t have any doubt that the fast and flowy ~8km descent from the Pinnacle down to Plain Creek will become a bucket list item. And the roll back along the Delatite River to Mirimbah complete with rock steps down to its own swimming hole, is sublime. (more…)
