More Mountain Biking

In the last few weeks I’ve done an 180 degree about turn. Now I’ve got vastly more mountain biking in my bike riding diet… and damn it’s fun! It all started two weeks ago when I did 50kms in 5 laps of Appin during the Appin 400 (Lap 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Before that(click to read the full post)

206/365 – Newtown, Waterfall, Cronulla, Kurnell, Newtown.

Today I rode from Newtown to Waterfall, then came home via Cronulla and Kurnell. The morning started much like this… Don’t you ever complain about the noise in your dSLR til you’ve used an Nokia e71 in low light. Anyway, I was on the bike by 5:30am, which meant I’d be riding the first hour(click to read the full post)

80kms of ouch.

Yesterday I went for a road ride with a few BMU guys. As previously detailed, I’ve been struggling to find my legs after the wedding & general winter laziness.

Casseroll Upgrades

Wowzers. With all this wedding stuff there hasn’t been much bike talk on my side of late. Lets fix that shall we? When we last left the Casseroll, it had just been given gears. Those gears were working well, with the exception that I was constantly using the large cogs in the rear. That meant(click to read the full post)

144/365 – 5 Litres of Ice Cream

Normally Liz and I get 150ml/500ml tubs of ice cream from her work. Occasionally we’ll get a 2 litre one if we’re feeling particularly crazy. However, today Liz brought home a little something to make our ice cream eating that much more efficient. What you’re looking at is 5 litres of Belgian White Chocolate ice(click to read the full post)

Things I like.

Things I like at the moment. 1. My flutterby frame from The Paper Tie Affair. It’s hanging in our lounge room and it makes me smile every time I look at it. It makes me smile as much as the Diary of a Diplodocus print that hangs in our bedroom. 2. My new pair of(click to read the full post)
