Angry Winds?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Brett G-R Mar 26. 18 Replies 0 Likes
Whilst descending for my first time down Cement Hill yesterday I was met with some pretty strong cross winds. It was quite scary and I actually pulled off for a moment (not a proud moment). I don't…Continue

It's All About The Ti Build
Posted on February 18, 2013 at 9:18 11 Comments 9 Likes
The journey to build my new bike started 18 months ago after reading “It’s All About The Bike” by Robert Penn. How wonderful it would be to build a bike that you have personally selected each piece individually, researched its attributes and not have some multinational company thinking that these are the components you should have on a said priced bike. No thanks.
For those that don’t know me, I like things that are a little alternate without being too far from left field. The…

It has been two years since I started cycling as a recreational sport and not just as a means to get milk from the corner shop. I initially took up cycling in an effort to continue on my original goal of weight loss having originally ballooned out to 110kg due to a decrease in physical activity over 5 -6 years. Two years ago it was hovering around the 100kg mark. Cycling has managed to get me down to approx 90kg but I still have a bit of work to do.
I started with my old…

Are you rising to ride tomorrow morning? I see you rode the Screw of Cork on Monday. It was pity I did not know as I would have joined you on Monday arvo as I was home recovering from my ten days away.

Dear Justin
It was nice to ride with you and the others yesterday. Thank you for the advice re CFFRS I have added the group to my profile. I rode with Brett until the turn-off to Corkscrew Road. (I have ridden it a couple of times and do not enjoy the gradient. It is far too steep for my liking and at 120 plus Ks even more so. If I had an easier ride up Checkers Hill then I may have done). I may consider riding Friday morning ride but I am not sure whether that will be before or after I return from leave.
