Out for an early pre-breakfast ride with Yvonne this morning. My usual Thursday riding partner has gone off to raft the Franklin River so I was chuffed when she said she wanted to come along: as long as she could choose the ride.
So in her never ending pursuit of the red zone, she suggested we ride up the North South track from Glenorchy. I told her the track is looking a bit tired as it doesn't get the love it once did (and it's a relentless grind). Didn't deter her.
Rode up to Junction Cabin and down the Old Farm Fire trail to the top of Golden Gully. Yvonne kept on the Main Fire Trail back to Lenah Valley while I went to Jurassic Shark and up the Slides before making my way to Lenah Valley via Pottery Road.
At the bridge on the North South track below Junction Cabin.
I was surprised at the total elevation, and how slow.

Close call! Looks like the guy's rear tailgate.
That video highlights how fucked riding on the road is. Even disregarding the falling tailgate, having multiple heavy pieces of equipment piloted by barely capable monkeys passing one metre from you at speed in the morning when it’s wet FROM BEHIND is fucked. I love managing risk but this is Russian roulette.
I’d rather ride up that tiny bike lane against the traffic and keep my destiny in my own hands. Much easier to deal with a threat you can see.
Anyway, rant over lol glad you’re ok!

Before breakfast..? I need breakfast and staring at the wall with coffee for a bit before I'm even ready to accept its daytime!
Morning people are highly suspicious...

Welcome to Australia - where even the utes themselves hate cyclists...

Just reading the news article on the cyclist death in Victoria yesterday. Apparently a cyclist dies on our roads every 9 days.
I'm with you, fuck that game of Russian Roulette.

Driving a car in Australia is even Russian Roulette, it's amazing how many dashcam videos of idiots there are, @rangersac you can submit videos to Dashcams Australia, this one is a doozie. Glad it was only a close call.

A parcel arrived from flea Bay today, I've been searching for some cheap 2.3mm rotors for a while and saw these on the UK site. Probably not genuine and made from the finest Chinesium but at $64 including shipping for two it was worth a shot. They are fahhn solid compared to a standard rotor.
Also managed to drop past a composite supplies place whilst driving around for work and picked up some Araldite. Unfortunately they didn't have the right type of black Chux I need so I'll order that online.
Stay tuned for a post about some carbon fibre fuckery in the other thread.

Well, yesterday but the bearing press and blind puller kit I ordered back in Mid January finally arrived today.
Came from Bearing Pro Tools, quite well priced although it's single size bearing only.
Managed to pull the bearings out of my BB very easily, and I then used the press to push one of the old bearings back in just to see how it went.

If you are looking for a 203, I was actually wanting to go 203F/180R so would happily swap one if you buy two 180's
