A day ride, with Dobbo. We were going for lunch at Jingellic. Took a little longer than I suspected. Woomargama NP would be around 100km away by the normal route. Who wants to be normal? Lunch on the return ride was pretty late in the day. And I've bought new tubes too. I've been riding with spare tube...

So, figured I could share. Not particularly good videos, of course but not unbroken / unedited either. Thi...

Back when we had no water and fires I said I'd never complain about rain again. The rain hasn't stopped for ages it's all green and can't see where the fires have been. Still enjoying the rain not sure about the mud Finding the metzler 360 on the back is still wearing well . I have said its slippery I'm th...

The Colorado and Montana TAT posts inspired me to re-run the Oregon TAT sections (my recommended that is).
