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

[Asininedrivel]

Back home, amusingly jet-lagged and facing a work inbox with too many numbers on it I decided to f*** productivity off for the morning yesterday and go for a ride instead. Conditions were great, pretty dry though - did it rain at all during September?

Did a 16km ride on day one of Great Cycle Challenge Australia. Going for a 30km ride with my son later this afternoon.

Let's see how quickly I can smash out 500km this month!

That's a nice lookin' ride. As for the inbox; dump it. They will be back in touch when they want you.

One of my work colleagues does work emails whilst on holiday brilliantly - Her out of office reply states to contact “blah” if important otherwise she will return on “x” date. - when she returns she answers absolutely 0 emails as if they were important they would have contacted “blah” and just resumes her work day

Another spectacular day for a lap of Meehan.

Found a rear tyre knob torn off and exposing threads, so finally binned a very old Maxxis… Had been a “one more ride””…” for quite a while.

51km done today for the Great Cycle Challenge Australia.

Also doing Great Cycle Challenge, first ride on Monday morning with a mate exploring some new (to me) jump/flow trails, which were bloody fantastic. Saw a couple black snakes on the trail, which my mate shat himself at the sight of.

Upsized rotors work well, though since putting them on my gears don't shift right. Back in the shed tonight I guess.

Kept the legs rolling over and headed out while the washing was on.

Why not 2 in a row for me!

Finally got the Katipo back together (new rubber up front, new rear squish, new green bits, new chainstay amongst other bits) and gave it a small shakedown / brake bed ride today in prep for Bright tomorrow.

It's noice!

Solid ride this morning.
25 at 7am so a hot one.
20km (all on Trail), 35% battery left so pretty happy with that.
Felt great, think the gym work is starting to kick in a bit.

The EXe is running really well, dropped 2 notches off the HSR and HSC on the X2 after it feeling a bit like a hardtail last time out. Didn’t notice it today, which is the best I can say about it.

How’s the Voro shock go?

 

[fatboyonabike]

That bike has my attention! What a honey.

looks like a Spider XVP or somtink similar....great rig, but I had mine crack under the headtube/down tube weld

 

[Haakon]

Hiked it up over the hills to the top of new Glenorchy bike park. Some fun trails in there, but a lot of fairly huge jumps that are waaaaaaaaaaaay above my pay grade!

Awesome morning down at Redhill scoping out most of the trails for next week's Enduro nationals.

Also ran onto a fellow burner, any guesses
Nice to finally meet you mate.

Bit of an asinine comment don't you think?

Dad on the Dread followed by the kid on the Pivot. Damn that Forbidden makes the Pivot look small!

Finished up the Bright weekend with a short pedal this morning. Back to the real world now...

How’s the Voro shock go?

Pretty good. It was is first ride over this weekend and I went with 25 lb lighter spring than what I was running on the Marzocchi CR.

I didn't play with it much over the weekend, but it was planted and didn't have any surprises.

I put in 260 psi (specs between 180 & 300), and I might have a play with that down the track, but there was no harshness, excessive ramp up or bottoming out so I think I got it pretty close first up.

Some of the other hijinks of the weekend... And the cousin Katipo's were together for the first time.
