Just sitting on the roadie and putting some weight on the hand/wrist hurt, so riding is not a thing anyway… Bike will very much be coming home unridden!Best to avoid doing the 'Michael Mosley'

I fixed the rear wheel on one of my MTBs. A spoke was broken so I just used a straight pull spoke and put a J bend in it myself - done it before works fine if you are gentle about it. Fixed it and remounted tyre and got rid of sealant and decided to use TPU tubes as I take this bike travelling and tubeless gets a bit difficult travelling when things don't go right.
All done and fixed ready to test ride and rear brake has no power at all. So annoying I had them bled recently. The Juin Tech DBs are nice and light but I've had a few issues like this where they let air in somehow. I find them a pain to bleed so this time I took them to a pro - he said they were difficult to bleed too! They are going!

I rode the Bendigo women's 3 hr MTB challenge today.
Such a good vibe and fun track. I highly recommend this event for any woman who wants to give racing (not really racing) a shot. It was so good to see lots of young women giving it a red hot go and having fun.
Added bonus was the Star Wars theme (May the 4th Be With You), I dressed up as R2D2.

Super relaxing cruise along an old aqueduct this morning, out near Warburton. Can't wait for the new trails to open up in the same area.

The last little bits of climb are worth it for the down on Tall Timbers to the creek crossing. The last little uphill after you go over the bridge is tiring though but it's so close to the carpark.8 (continuous descent) before you have to climb a bit for the last 2k

Raced in Derby for the Final Tas Gravity 24/25 series round on Saturday
It's my first full season in a while but I have raced at least one round in every series for the whole 10 years of the Tas Gravity Enduro Series
Came home with a 3rd on the day out of a field of 10 and 2nd in the series overall.
Mid-race vote.
Spent the Sunday doing some riding with my wife around Derby while we were there.
Rode the new log ride and the new Triple 3 trail, which was awesome for me and my wife hated it, lol.

My Convict 100 ride did not go according to plan, my derailleur freaked out 12 km into the ride at the bottom of the first climb and continued to freak out , so I bailed on the 100 and settled for the 67.
At least my new derailleur was tucked up nice and dry in my shed and didn't get dirty.

Looks like you are set up next to where my wife and daughter were set up - Wife was on the eeb and daughter the orange hardtail. I had kids football so couldn't stick around. It's a good cruisey event and they seem to enjoy it every year

Awesome! I love that it isn't serious at all. Well, some take it seriously, but most don't.

Ah that sucks!
I'd like to get over and do one of the 100km marathon races on the mainland. We don't really have anything like that here in Tassie at the moment.

I was reasonably happy with my 67 time considering.
Convict is a tough ride, but in a top area, St Albans pub is great

Dropped past the local yesterday and walked some tools up the hill and did some preliminary rock-clearing for a continuation of the line I was working on the other day. Then today, I finally actually took the bike along and rode it (first time since realigning the trail). Truth be told, I actually rode the realigned piece of trail about three times and it flows so much better than before. Will be even better once the exit is finished and the roll out gives a good boost down the hill. Then got distracted and played around starting to clear some loose rock to expose the beginnings of another line (slower, but more technical) nearby. Oh, and another kind soul had whipper-snippered the lower sections of the trail yesterday too - so no scratches or scrapes on my lower shins today from the long grass and seed heads whipping around them like the last few rides!
