Nice to see it ready to ride again! Far too nice a bike to sit unused.
What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

I'd pull the cranks off before I pulled the saddle. Otherwise I'd spend the whole holiday trying to get the saddle back where it felt right!Test ride then packed it.
Was stumped as my calculations had it at a smidge over 23kg... it was 23.7
Take the full 'test ride' water bottle out ya turkey !
Bike 14.7 (14.8 after adding a gut full of sealant), bag 9.1 = 23.9
Removed pedals, chain and rotors, total bike bag weight of 23.11kg.
Could remove saddle and get it right under.

Started working through fitting the collection of upgrade bits I've hoarded this year. Wheels, dropper, shifter and Shigura front brake. Got a bit of a bike boner doing the brake, it's taken me a while getting around to it.

Went to St Helens today so Yvonne could hang with her mum and I could go riding. @ozzybmx, trails mostly dry as this photo from Garnup show. A bit damp in some of the corners on See ya later. Yvonne and I are headed out to ride Dreaming Pools tomorrow so I will post a photo for you all to admire. Rode a hire bike today as I put my Trance up for sale and don't want to ride it too much.
New frame and everything but wheels are in the garage wating for me to start on it.

taking a shit with my boobs out
Weather so far looks like it will be a wet Derby and a dry St Helens.
We'll be in Launceston for about 10am, should be riding by 2ish, pub at 2:30 if its wet

Planned to get deep into my Honzo build last night but realised I didn’t have any cable outers, so restickered the forks and fit them.
Got some outers and a new dropper cable this morning so might get some done later on.
Should hopefully get the Prime out for the first time in 4 weeks tomorrow morning too, looking forward to that!

Unfortunately not, will likely be up there for 6 as I have a heap on tomorrow before heading away for the week on Monday. You heading up? Or you can join me early doors for a slow one!

Early ride sounds good, I can’t really afford half a day out at the social ride either. I’ll message you later to organise.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Have you pooed your pants yet? I'm still haunted by some of the steep ruts and sideways drops in that place.Hit up Maydena, day 2 of 3. This place is ok...

things got much better as I got conditioned to the rate you could increase speed from being off the brakes for 0.5 secsHave fun!!

Pants have remained brown free so far, but haven't hit anything too nasty. Just trying to make it to the last day! Just stuck to mostly the blacks and blues so far.

Down on the left!
Wot, no Zen Garden?? For shame.
1st run tomorrow. Do it. And pretend you’re on the clock and ride as hard as you dare. It’ll clean your arteries out!

Can the same be said for white tyre Canyon rider? They have not got a spot dirt on them yet.
Doesn't matter as it looks f@*kin stunning up there.

That was one of my mates who was down for the last 2 days. Believe it or not, he did actually ride it! It's surprising how white they stayed!
And yes, I don't think we could have had better trail conditions for the weekend! So far... Could get a bit moist today I think.

Walks the walk
Short one at Stromlo, came into the trail head area to end the ride, grabbed a handful of brake and my left hand slipped forward, coming off the bar and sending me over with the front wheel locking up and turning 90 degrees. Decent body slam, a bit bruised up and had to laugh with a good crowd there watching me stack on flat ground. Bike is fine.

Got out at the crack of dawn for a ride up at Kalamunda with @ashes_mtb
He put up with my multiple stops, huffing and waking up hills and general slow paced riding.
Was my first ride in a month, nice to head out with someone for a change!

Was nice to sneak an early spin in mate.
Your bike is insane. Thanks for letting me take it for a quick spin and realise how much I’m missing out on!
