What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[Cardy George]

+1, almost frosty or salty something there already

Not frosty yet, but it won't be long.

Salty river sediment. Flood plain that hasn't been flooded in who knows how long. When it rains it turns to clag and strips paint of frames. Learnt that the hard way.

 

[Mr Crudley]

Ah, your own salt lake. I almost picked it.

Huck yeah @hifiandmtb!!!! Throw it down!

That shot is rad @Cardy George. The ground looks like it is dipped in snow. Are you ready to bring your local artisans bespoke salt to market yet?

Still working on sifting the river clay out of it.

That's easy! Dissolve salt into water, filter out clay, dehydrate out salt, erect umbrella because it's raining dollars!

Mrs George says I'll spoil the view

 

[Cardy George]

This is the other shot from over my head. No bike for context though

 

[silentbutdeadly]

I have some carbon forks without paint and gelcoat in a specific groove shape due to that floodplain mud....

Sadly I retired an "old" friend today. This guy gave me a few years of joy before a shock failed and cracked the frame. Had it fixed and you can't spot the repair but I just don't trust it. Given that, I couldn't in all fairness sell it to someone so I've retired it and cannibalized it for a new build. It felt terrible pulling it apart for the last time but I'm excited about the new build.

It's a pretty thing, but not my wheel size...

Still, I could be swayed otherwise. Maybe I should test the workmanship of this repair?

That's the spirit.

Life is not life without some white knuckle risks.

You need to have some old stories to say continuously at the old folks home one day and stories about Covid toilet paper hoarding just won't cut it.

Do you have a particular app to edit the clips together before uploading to the gram @hifiandmtb?

 

[hifiandmtb]

Edit video using native iPhone editor. Then Splice to join them.

Cracking morning at Stromlo, had my heart broken for the 5th time on the last feature of Heartbreaker, Dave cleaned the entire thing! The other Dave was out with his camera, action shot forthcoming, last ride on the very stretched gloves, pulled the refresh pair out of the cupboard.

 

[Scotty T]

And yes there were three of us but one of us went off the front for the whole ride except for the pic.

So all set for the @pink poodle rock slab challenge !

Kept things mellow, but got out on the TCR and did a 84km gravel ride. Mellow but the legs are feeling it now lol.
