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

Seems a bit fussy to me, yeah not ideal, excess paint, I would just use a rasp for the paint and check it with a steel ruler.
Nah, I’m not going near it with a hand tool. Maybe maybe I’d have a go at cutting away the paint ridges with a razor blade, but no hand files!!!

Got some sneaky dj laps...this one owned me. I think my success rate was about 40%. I don't get to ride jumps with such a steep take off very often. I was fighting the lift, failing to pull up the bars enough, fearing a buck, not getting my shoulders back enough, and all round riding like a goon. Meed to be at this more often and get the mechanics dialled.
 
Yeah jumps are regular practice, practice and more practice in a graduated way ie start small.
i am building one at the moment where its only small but in time will slowly jack it up but not tell anyone.
 
Judging by the 2 teenagers I saw send it...yes, and then more up again. I'd have been happy to consistently get the bottom of my tyres where the too of my tyres is.

Looks fun, are these local? Obviously don't post the location here for all of the great unwashed to see but if you could slip me some breadcrumbs that would be appreciated.

Sadly not local, but council made so no issue giving up the debts. They are listed on google maps as castle Cove dirt jumps park. I wouldn't say they are worth the journey all on their own, but if you had a bigger day planned and some dirt jumping was part if it...way less crowded than bare creek. @cokeonspecialtwodollars

Finally got out on the horse yesterday, lovely weather, Mill Creek still closed so went out to Wylde.

Got there to a bunch of ambos and fire truck, some poor bugger must've got hurt, didn't hear any of the details so I hope it wasn't too bad.

Anyway, finally got to shred a few trails, I had not ridden Smiles for Miles for a couple of years as I thought I remembered it was shit. Well as the Donald would say WRONG! There was some pretty cool fun gnarly jumps and stuff. A big drop that I want to hit at some point and a big gap that I want to try. Anyway it was a bit wet but had a lot of fun.

Ambo visits seem to happen quite a bit there. Glad Smiles of Miles dried up since it can getting a bit damp down the bottom.

There are plenty of opportunities to bin it, especially the Whale Tail IMHO.
 
Haven't had much of a chance to do any pedalling other than the occasional commute to work. Stars aligned Sat when a mate wanted to head for a pub ride. It fit nicely after kid taxi duties for footy etc. Headed out at 3pm, got home at 11pm after accidentally stopping at a few extra pubs - sure you might say that's quite a while to only cover 50km but it was well worth it. My team manager duties at #2's footy Sunday were probably not my my best work.
