If there’s one thing that will derail the upcoming Cyclic Navigator event it will probably be the record heat that the lower half of Australia has been enduring this Spring. Bush fire risk could postpone the event which is fair enough, but it’s more if the event goes ahead in +30 degrees celcius that will bother me. (more…)
I had a lot of fun participating in last year’s 6 Hour Cyclic Navigator – a MTB Orienteering event held annually in the Wombat Forest. (more…)
Felt pretty good today so decided to make use of the cooler weather and head over to Black Forest with the 24″ GUni. I’ve ridden the trails there on a 36’er, 29’er and single speed 24 so was interested to see how it would be on the 24 GUni. (more…)
Uni rides have been replaced with swimming the last week – partly due to the record breaking heat for this time of year, but also to help my leg heal. The swimming has worked magic, and with this year’s 6 hour Cyclic Navigator only a couple of weeks away I definitely need to squeeze in a few hours on the uni. (more…)
Lulu aka Uni Bitch and I headed down to the local reserve first thing this morning. I woke up with some new and improved soreness from yesterday’s effort so a super light and easy ride was the plan including soaking in the Loddon river. (more…)
Finally… time to get back on the uni, WOOHOO! My lower leg/ankle/foot is still quite tender and swollen but nothing like it was, I guess it’s ~75% working. Maybe a light short ride would help get it moving again, and regardless it would be great for the mind and spirit to get back out into the forest. (more…)
I received the planet axle pin test screw from Schlumpf today, another example of the high level of customer service Florian provides. My #226 hub has been running GREAT but with extra speed and complexity of a GUni it’s well worth checking that everything is operating as it should be. (more…)
