Raced today. @Rorschach I totally agree, Gloves were mandatory. The track is 40km away from home and there was thickish fog the whole way. It lifted to a light haze for the race though it wasn't any bloody warmer.
This Zwift thing might have some merit to it. Not so much for the increase in power just yet but even just a week on it has taught me what my power zones feel like. I had a much better race than just going out and smashing myself stupid.

Great solo hit out at Kentlyn. Most of the local venues are out of action (some permanently) post flooding and whilst some of the fun stuff at Kentlyn ic cactus, the aptly named Rock Trail has survived well. It's a bloody hard ride though, no rest and hammers you from head to toe with some challenging climbs and drops; so whilst not exactly 'fun' there's a certain degree of satisfaction attached to clearing it. Had a bit of an off though, worst of all it was on a flat section......heart rate strap was annoying me so I attempted to adjust it on the go, bar clipped a tree....hence the claret! So good to get put though.

Blueeeeeeeey's on!
I've heard Camden River won't be back, you've obviously heard the same. Really sux. I'm only just 5 minutes ride from it.
A mate and I have been checking out firetrails and some single track out at Tahmoor, Thirlmere Lakes and Buxton. Lots of motorbikes though.
Saw on Facebook that Appin is pretty bad too, still really wet and the motorbikes have destroyed parts of what's left

Heal up well sir. Glad you got out. Must have been busy there today.

Swapped my legs for a Landcruiser, pulled on the body armour and hit the send button.

I go out for a ride too! First Sunday with no work in a while (months late Christmas party aside) so had to go out there...none of my ride buddies were free though. All the wet kept me on the jumps for a few hours of sending. So much fun.

Due to promises made on working in the garden, and expectations of fulfillment, combined with the fog not lifting till mid day, I thought I would miss out on a ride entirely. I had a social engagement in South Hobart so I rode my bike there. Up over Knocklofty to South Hobart and retraced the route on the way home.
I stopped to take this photo from the look out on Knocklofty.
Any day on the bike is a good day.

We must be neighbours, I was only 15 min ride from Camden River trail too. It's definitely gone, one of the builders showed me a bunch of pics a while back. Not only is the trail pretty much completely destroyed, but the land on which much of it sat is now gone, with the Nepean being considerably wider at some points than it previously was. Shame, it was such a great ride.
From the pics I've seen of Appin it's a long way off being back to its former glory too. I haven't ridden in Tahmoor/Thirlmere since the days of the Razorback Rangers MTB Club in the 90's!

Thanks mate appreciate it. Wasn;t as busy as I'd anticipated, but I didn't get there til around 11am.Heart rate straps are bad for your health

After so much rain finally got a decent ride in Saturday.
I did notice that my obsolete zebs felt like trash and wished they had 20% more initial bump absorption with clearly marked dials for knobs that do something I dont understand and filled with a proprietary oil that is slipplieriar. However I plan to use a drill to retrofit some bleed ports with the idea that the holes stay open so that they are permanently equlaised. It's about incremental innovation.
I seen a few reviews of the new zeb and the main improvement is that it is quiet. Suspension has peaked people.

Forgot mine this morning, so was at points cold or sweaty or sticky or a combination of all 3.
Time poor today so only did 10km. Trails were feeding mint and my bike was riding great

Cheers. Better bike than I am a rider for sure but it puts a smile on my dial.
There’s a PYR somewhere on it

Also, wife needed a lie down while the youngest was asleep so me and the oldest put the Shotgun on, went for a bunt to the park, had a coffee (babycino for him), and then a ride around the local lake. Should have put some air in my tyres as 5km on pavement at trail pressures is pretty wearing, but we both had a great time!

No need for Zwift if you ride MTB tyres at trail pressures on the bikepath!
