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

Local loop to and around the local wetlands.

We did a bit of bike encouragement today with our Grandson, down at the local tennis court. It's got a nice slightly downhill lawn, and he rode for the first time without training wheels. He then graduated to starting off by himself on the tennis courts, and then rode (with Sue running alongside) all the way home. He was stoked... so were we.

Raced the State XC champs on Saturday.

Just didn't have the grunt up the hills that I wanted. 5th place for the day. With only three 6km laps for the old guys it takes me two laps to warm up and not have my legs feel like jelly. I'm just not built for sprint races. 😆

Sargie's Reindeer Games. Mid November is a little early for a Christmas event, but we carried on regardless! They're a bit of fun to finish off the year. Rock, paper, scissors to sort the starting order. Ride a lap, Bottle Flip, lap, 1-pin bowling, lap, "beer" pong, lap, hit a cone with a Frisbee, lap, crochet, pick a prize!

Wrapped it up with the Season Presentation where this Little Legend picked up Junior Club Champion.

Had these pedals in the spares because they were faded to a delightful pink hue and clashed with my gear.
Could have given the to (pink)poods but he’s got enough pedals already. Pulled em apart and sandblast the bodies. Was intending to paint black but look kinda cool in raw alloy.

Dragged it's sorry arse half way across NSW. Pulled it out of the car. Put it's wheels on. Checked it's tyre pressures. Checked the suspension pressures. Changed into suitable riding attire. Left the motel.

Who also sell MTB, but were closed as it was 6.15pm.

Are you fucking kidding me.

That's what I get for taking 6 months to not order more quick-links
 
Did about 3.5ks with our little man today. Some of it single track very gentle slightly down hill, with some small roots that he hesitated at initially, but he had a go… and away we went.

I had my Kids Ride Shotgun seat on my bike in case of tears… but yeah nah, he would have done more.
