Depending which track you went down there are two single track climbs back up, Middle Earth and Climbing Ivy. Don’t get out there very often as have trails on my doorstep but have heard there have been some great work on the trails in Fox.
What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

- Start date
Swapped the stock Ikons for some Maxxis Refuse on my Fathom to make it a super commuter. My first go at setting up tubeless and it was stupidly easy! Much easier than swapping a tube.
Also, I had a spin on an e-mtb.. And I liked it. The electric version of my Fathom actually. It was only in the LBS car park but damn, when you bump the assistance up, acceleration is so much fun! Dunno if I'd ride dirty too much, but it'd make an even better commuter bike.

Down on the left!
Yep someone told me middle earth was a nice cruisey climb. Took forever.
I didn’t realise that shuttles were running otherwise I would have booked myself a seat and avoided the pain of climbing.
I was super impressed with the place. Looks like a lot of resources and effort go into maintaining the trails.
Definitely would return.

WTF how old is that?Picked up new set of wheels. Certainly an interesting ride, wasn't larger Front wheels a thing a few years back?
Bunny hopping is amusing, and anything with a grade steeper than a suburban driveway is flat out begging for an otb

I don't have even the slightest clue. Tyres are old, maybe 70s or 80s old but the bike is a home made job so couldn't even begin to put a date on it. Front is 28inch and rear is 12.5inch, it's like a small scale model of the real deal.
It'll be featuring at the lysty ffll series for a little mid ride entertainment

Installed the Lyriks on the trance. Took it for a quick street bash can really feel the stiffer chassis when hitting lumpy stuff. Bike is now black....... very black (apart from the orange grips). At least the new hardtail will add colour to the stable. Looks like I will own bikes with two colours though.
Duallie: Matt black
Roadie: Matt black with some red.
Hardtail: Glossy red with black forks.
Friday morning I will test the Lyrik in anger.

(Actually yesterday)
Ordered some shiny new Hope brakes for the Sight. Also grabbed a new front tyre for more grip at the always-sketchy You Yangs. After much careful deliberation, and reading up on the many different compound choices available (I'd already decided on a 2.5 DHF)...I went ahead and ordered the exact same tyre as The Boy bought for his Strive a month ago.
Also, my order at MountainBikesDirect shows as being 'On Hold'. Does anyone know what that means, exactly? (First person to reply with, 'it means it's on hold' or some variation thereof wins a year's supply of pinch flats and dinged rims.)

How many things did you order? Sometimes they hold an order until everything comes in so they can ship it all once.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
It........ it means it’s on hold.
