    This needs to be incorporated into a commuting jersey

    While I agree this would unfortunately give those cops who look for any reason they can to fine cyclists just another reason to fine them with the use of profanity :/

    MTBA email

    First you create the template, as you've done. Then you need to create a list of recipients, which you do via 'Send Bulk Emails'. That will generate a list based on the filter you use. Let it generate the list then it'll tell you how many recipients were added, and hit 'Continue'. The next...

    The "I will ride _____km in 2024" thread - commit and conquer here!!

    I've now started to back off the volume a bit as I need a few weeks to just catch up and recover. Two weeks at home (VES1, MTBO1 and XCM3 next two weekends), then straight up to Cairns for 10 days (World cup set-up), then three weeks home, then off overseas for two weeks. 2016 Target...

    Formula One world championship

    Holy crap Haas are on the pace - less than 3 seconds off this time, and quicker than the Williams, Manor, McLaren, Renault and Toro Rosso. And yes, that was the day two order at the tail end - Manor being quicker than McLaren, Renault and STR!

    Formula One world championship

    I totally agree. Nice mix of blue, gloss red and matte red. As for testing, hows the pace of the Haas entry! Certainly did not see that kind of pace coming from a brand new entry, that's damned impressive.

    Looks fantastic. Like a 1999 Williams ;)

    Lysterfield trail conditions?

    Eidetic memory? :) The trails out at Stonefly/Howqua Gap was the same when I rode it over the New Year break. I've only ridden out there once, back at the 2012 National Round. Remembered exactly where to go once I was out there. OT: But no, seriously, I have an insane memory for remembering...

    Lysterfield trail conditions?

    I was out there for MTBO on Saturday afternoon and OMG I can't remember the trails being this grippy, with the possibly exception of the 2007 Chase The Sun series (round 3). There were a few puddles I wish someone would dig a trench out of, but other than that soooooo much grip on Blair Witch...

    Car rental for mountain bikes

    I've had five bikes in the back of my Lancer. If you can't get two in the back of an Outlander then oy vey.

    Yep, Jan was way good as far as target goes. I'm at 1403km for the year, another 66 tomorrow then first race of the year on Friday night. In the two months since my last race, which was a mid-field C grade result, I've put in 2500kms. I suspect I'll have a bit more form.

    New rules for cyclists in NSW - Safe passing distances, but massive fines as well....

    No, they'll come up with some other 'random' reason to stop you - and then discover you don't have ID when it's the first thing they ask for, as you're now required to carry it so there's no reason for them to not ask for ID. This will become a thing - "random" blitzes on cyclists, where they...

    7 peaks!

    Hey, rant time ;) I did Baw Baw the other week on my Anthem, not because of the gears going up but because of the brakes coming down. That was on that 41C TFB day in late December and yeah, it was still 38C at Baw Baw. Everything else I did on a 39/53 12-25, which I've ridden up Baw Baw on...

    2009: 8972 2010: 7981 2011: 7497 2012: 4300 2013: 8138 2014: 5991 2015: 5337 For 2016 I'm going to aim for 8,000, but if I can stick to doing 200km/week then 10,000km isn't unreasonable. Plans for 2016 include Easter in the Alice, and 8 days of riding in Hawaii in May, including...
