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

[frenchman]

Just home from an awesome afternoon on the trails...by which I mostly mean smashing dirt jumps and sessioning a few of the bigger trail gaps on offer. Well you know...by local standards that is. I am a bit bored of riding the same spot all the time aNd yearning to get to a few spots outside my lga, I am very stoked to be able to ride.

Just build them bigger

Ha...I used to. I got sick of the pussies bitching and knocking the big things down ("it's too steep" "I can't clear it" "someone will get hurt" and wa wa wa waaaaaa). Now the area is a it too hot with grumpy riders and angry parks to lift a shovel.

There is also a new jump line that's not small and a bit of fun...but it's only 3 jumps when it should be 5 or 6.

And I pinged a 1 hander this afternoon. Hadn't done one for weeks, so it felt good.

Found a mud pit at Majura Pines. Looked like just a muddy patch - until it swallowed the front wheel of the Orange up the axle!

Fed the Strava Troll, by completing my weekly goal.

Got a bit damp, but we can't have @moorey riding more in a week than I do, now can we?

Nice work! How it it possible to have so little climbing over 200km of riding
Admittedly I was doing ride ups, but did 830m in 26km…

If you ride in the opposite direction you would have all downs

Where’s the fun in that?

Yes but you would get less elevation then - that’s how you get less - you asked ?????

But where’s the fun still?

And that total includes a hill repeat sesson! It is a bit frustrating. I used to do 100km thru the Adelaide Hills every Saturday. It wasn't until I rode up one of our few true climbs with a mate that I realised how much climbing strength I'd lost. The 12hr race at Fox Creek reminded me how to climb, so now I make sure I engage those muscle groups for at least one session a week.

If you are having “FUN” you are not training hard enough

Very tempted to get out again for a quick 12km to join the 200km club this week lol. Nice work fellers.
Didn't reach @moorey gold standard but finished the week with 8.5 hours and 3228m, pretty happy with that.

Far out. You live on the flattest place on earth and got more elevation than me .
Nice work
