Spending the morning, with a dozen other volunteers preparing Glenorchy MTB Park for XC Nationals next weekend as its had no maintenance for many many months.
no problem volunteering but what i hate is that Glenorchy City Council are paying a local trail building company to Maintain the park but have done sfa despite knowing about this event for months.

Invoice the bastards for the work THEY should have done. That's piss-poor.
 
back from 2 weeks in tas. had to dial in a few times for urgent issues, its part of being a freelancer and wanting to stay the top option clients call for work. Work late on an urgent issue with scant details. Mail back, Im assuming you meant X which is now updated, please confirm before we deploy. 10 days later they cant be bothered to respond. but it was so urgent.


oh and derby, wtf is up with those f@#%$Ring flies? they're massive and so many of them

Do you mean the Cicadas or March flies?

The Cicadas have just emerged from the ground recently, so some areas have thousands of the noisy bastards.
March flys have also come out of hibernation and they have been pretty bad in places. They were a pain in the arse in Queenstown on the weekend every time you stopped for more than a minute. They didn't seem to bite you though. 🤔
 
was riding with the family so we had to stop pretty often and must be those march flies. no bites but they are pesky buggers. queenstown trails looked like a lot of fun. maybe it was just from the lookouts but didnt seem a lot that you'd want to ride without a shuttle.

Cicadas were everywhere in the George Town Tipp hills trails. You would smack into them every now and again, and they are massive! But at least they leave you alone, unlike the March flies.
 
Note to self, don't bother with Orange Seal again. FFS.

Dry in less than 4 weeks. Admittedly it's been fucking hot on occasion, but Stans never dried out this fast.

And, of course, I'm not home. The only options in Griffith are unreliable blue crap, or more Orange Seal. $40 bucks for a quarter of the quantity I can get online.

Years since I have used Orange seal and my shed gets stupid hot and don’t recall it ever drying out like that. Maybe they tweaked the formula and messed it up.

Car shop and use the green slime stuff or just use a tube (we won’t tell anyone ;)) so you can ride until you get your preferred sealant.
