My brother was trawling for first press Cardiacs a few weeks ago and I spotted this wee beastie. Turns out the seller used to play guitar for the band and this is the copy given to him on joining. The first punk album I heard as a kid in Oz. I shall enjoy this with a strong coffee shortly as I've th...

We don't pull this one out often but it would be rude not to today.

The Chats - Pub Feed. Not as good as The Saints, but some solid 'shed rock' from some lads on the Sunny Coast just north of here.

Cable ties are a faff if you don't have cutters at the other end...and folks question pulling out a knife to cut them. Go with a roll of 1/2" velcro and cut long strips. Useful outbound, during the trip and on the return....for multiple trips. Forks/cranks stay on fitted. I try to stop things f...

Have flown bikes around the world a few times. Mostly in boxes acquired from local bike shops. I got brazen at one point and did the heavy plastic wrap between UK and Spain/UK and Italy. Small form factor/lots of tape is your friend. Unwrap and rebuild at destination. Carry the wrap (fits in a harne...

...and dropped off a spanky green BB tee. Ta Stu...'tis a good 'un.

That looks ace Stu...reminds me of the first Twixmas ride.

RaceKing 2.2s with Shield Wall all year round here. Swore by Nanos, NineLines and Wolverines for years...all in the 2.0-2.25 range.

"Think both Galton and Red Meadow passes are hike-a-bike" - shades of 2014. We had a short hike over Galton, long hike over Whitefish Divide resplendent with its broken trees/avalanche deposits and a long hike over Red Meadow. Next snow we hit was Richmond Peak (very interesting when you c...

@ phil - about the size of my hand....body ~ 1". https://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisban ... den_OW.htm

@ Reg - yup...it couldn't be any worse than winter bivvy 2018 eh? Well maybe BB200 that year...or Braunton a few years before that...or the infamous 2015 winter bivvy. https://vimeo.com/148850259

It's been far too long since I got out. Maybe this will be the kick I need to seek another 4SL badge. A bad case of the CBF's blew out Friday and a slow start meant leaving home after midday on Saturday. The big tarmac rollers started just outside Petrie and kept putting up 60-120' climbs all the wa...

Thanks for the nudge, Stu. Need to get my game back on.

Have you been peeking, Reg? : )

Should there ever be a winter bivvy badge competition, there's my entry. Reg-approved no less.

Ah Reg....I'd just about forgotten about the Bishops Castle affair and the 2" ice on the Ridgeway...and you go about bringing it all up again ; )

Will be there in spirit whilst burning in hell/Qld. Miss the sub-zero shenanigans and partners in rime from over the years.

Woke up...grabbed a random CD and shoved it in the aging Discman...this morning is powered by Fishbone and "Give a Monkey A Brain..." Happy Tuesday folks...looks nice out there.

Jims got Sat. morning tuneage under control....new ClownC0re from yesterday....Cardiacs Special Garage Concert...and the sound of his solder sucker as he's building guitar pedals.

Folks in Brisvegas ride with zipties pointy end up on their helmet to keep the magpies from swooping. Seems to work as they go for me instead. Had a couple of pecks on the helmet since I've been back. Crazy look though the whole zip tie helmet thing.

...surprising me today. Sub 5 days from the US to Oz for UPS. Maybe things are improving from the 3-6 weeks they were a few months back. Anyways...postie dropped me this to go with the No9's. 100AUD cheaper than the local distributors are trying to flog 'em for. postie_160421.jpg Now I just gotta un...

It's branded as Sonic Mini 4K from Phrozen, Dave. I'll snap a photo in the daylight of one of the demo pieces.

If Mike doesn't snag it, I'm keen. Need to replace the aging Viscacha.

Working too much...decided it was time for a treat... Ooooooooooooooooooooooh those are just lovely. Ride report ASAP please. Yeah...they're well plush. Going from 680 to 760 makes a big difference for me. Yet to dodge sticks with 'em where you have to adjust for being a bit wider, but a quick spin...
