Whole family are quick on the bikes.Wonder if that's the Tim Northey we used to do triathlons with up in Cairns? He was a bloody good athlete and still is by the looks!

Wait 7 minutes for the floor to rust out and let the rest drain naturally?Camelback sprang a leak on the back seat of the car… About 1.5 litres of water poured down past the seat belt buckles along under the back seat and down into both footwells under the carpet …
It’s going to be driving around for a few days with the seat out the carpet propped up and hopefully the foam layer dries out with out me having to take the front seats and console out to get the carpet out
Yes! Now for a righty rear.Prepared for the eventual disassembly and brake swap on both bikes. Retaped the Lefty front wheel as the trusty 3M masking tape was pretty much fucked. It's somewhat entertaining being able to keep the wheel on the bike whilst applying tape.
TBH - I still had a great ride and regret nothing, but it did make me chuckle.Single speed ride with a picnic in the middle for the wife's birthday.
Yep the gearing is a bit much sometimes.For those that haven't ridden with @fjohn860 - he's a good all-around rider, but he always monsters me on flat bits of trail. I call him the torque monster because he's always riding a gear or two heavier than I am (and I'm not high-cadence whippet) and just looks like he's cruising along. Uphill I can keep up with him (sometimes even better him), and downhill we're pretty even. I thought, right - today I'll go and hammer out some bike-path and gravel to try and bring up my stamina on sustained flat section of trail. I rode 38km (return) from Sunshine West round the Ring-Road path up to Brimbank park, down into the valley and along the gravel next to the creek for a couple of km, then turned around and retraced my tracks back home. Magic day for it, hardly any people on the paths - loved it. Highball was a delight whirring away with the crunch of gravel under the treads, and still plenty spritely on the asphalt and concrete sections of bikepath before and after.
Got home and thought "I'll have a flick through Rotorburn" while I'm buzzing from my efforts and waiting for the sweating to stop - and find he's only gone and done 33 km on a bloody single speed! And just look at the gearing on the bloody thing! F*** me dead... You win mate, you win...

Haha, yeah I bet - there's some steep ol' climbs all through there!Yep the gearing is a bit much sometimes.
Definitely need a good run up to get up even the short steep hills between Geelong and my joint
That shock shock looks a bit under gunned compared o the rest of what I'm seeing...looks like a fun build though!I started a new project View attachment 383673
I haven't been back since the fires, only Super Bowl. Is Coondoo much the same post-rebuild? I think they said they were planning some improvements.First rip around Coondoo today before work. Great track that one. Only did the 6k as I didn't get up as early as I wanted.
First run around a pump track there too, but there were some wet sections so bailed after the first lap - don't want to be ripping that up.
