    Hurstbridge to Yea

    I was meant to be riding the Victorian Rail Trail this Sunday, but the good people at V-line have replaced trains with buses and altered the schedule, which means I have no way to get to Tallarook. There is the option for me to train to Hurstbridge and ride up to meet the Trail near Yea through...

    AM Banshee Prime

    Bike is built and ready for some suspension tinkering on the trails from tomorrow. Very interested to see how this thing rides.

    A question for the Prime crew

    I know there's a few Prime owners on here (not sure whether the V3.2 or not) and it's difficult to find reviews elsewhere, so; how does the Prime go at climbing? I understand it won't be rocket ship up the climbs like a carbon-XC bike, but is it pretty efficient and gets you up in good time...

    2026 Commonwealth Games

    It's been announced that Victoria is interested in hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Apparently there's been little interested globally due to costs, and the intent here is to re-use infrastructure built for the 2006 Games as well as push events out into regional areas rather than have them...

    Crash cramp

    Not sure if this needs it's own thread, but: Every time I have an off (which happens more than it should), I get a cramp in my right calf instantly, which basically can't be stretched out, and often means the rest of my riding day is shot. I don't think it's hydration based as I'm pretty good...
