Fun ride on the 36’er today, though my legs felt a little on the empty side. The drilled Nimbus rim rolled along the fire trails and single track with no problems though there weren’t any significant drops. (more…)
It might still officially be Winter, but out of the blue today was a perfect Spring Saturday for a uni ride around Lake Daylesford with some upcoming MUni addicts. (more…)
Recent winter forest MUni rides have been a LOT more comfortable due largely by a change in clothing. I’ve discovered Merino wool! (more…)
Turned 42 today. Best way to celebrate? A muddy MUni ride! (more…)

I headed out to Mount Macedon today looking for a off road loop suitable for the next monthly MUni ride on August 9th.

Maybe later! (more…)
