Fun early ride with Guy and Andy from Melbourne around Baco and the trails heading across towards Barkers Creek. Followed up by a cool down in the pool. Tough way to start the day! (more…)

After all these years I finally got a decent home workstand. I needed a stand that would work well with the Mojo HD’s irregular frame shape and not hang the bike off the seat post – something of a no-no with a dropper post like the Reverb.

01 01 2012. Awoke to find the earth’s crust still intact, went out for an early morning MTB ride, followed by coco pops for breakfast. Hope the year hasn’t peaked too soon! 😛 (more…)

It’s been a while! With all the changes during 2011 looks like there’ll be no shortage of regrowth in the year ahead, for both the bush and the hippie. (more…)

Spent a few hours this afternoon working on the Gully track with Ken, clearing fallen burnt out trees and re-aligning a section of track. After the recent fire the Gully…
