What does your day look like?

Shout out to Marque Bar and grill Mackay that have Gamble playing on the big screen whilst I'm waiting for my wagyu
 
Had a sneaky week in Lombok last month. Few games of pool at the Clubhouse with the drunken Spanish backpackers while the even drunker English backpackers were singing karaoke out the front and all the while an old Rampage replay on the big screen.

Yeah, I was probably the only one tuning in
 
Mullet town bike at the servo this morning...

😂 I just meant the bike looks like the (Soma?) one you built for your misso a few years back.

But I like this new, more hostile Haakon 2.0. You're almost ready for that Ranger Raptor. :p

No, the poor Soma hasn't turned a wheel since coming to Taswegia. Not really anywhere she would ride it - she absolutely wont ride on the road. In Canberra it was nice chill flat bike paths all the way to work and back for her.

I was going to put a Bafang on it to sort out the hills issue here, but that doesn't help with Hobart drivers.

It will get some use again when we move back to Melbourne - something around Port Melbourne might be nice, not lived down that way before.
 
I started my day with 30 chair squats (physio exercises) and then a hike the dog.

Luckily NPWS have taken over the trails around Woronora Heights to protect the local Koala colony, which has been around for at least 5 years, and were doing just fine with people walking their dogs and riding the trails without restriction.

I see a storm brewing. There are some really really good gravity trails around here that a lot of work has been put into. I can only see resentment and resistance if they find them and attempt to close them. These ones are really just connecting trails but they've widened them and smoothed them out already.

Traffic can get pretty brutal round there during peak times (kinda all of Melbourne now...), but if you can find some riding links to the Bay Trail you'd have some nice (though often busy) riding trail available.

The resistance has begun, the sign post in the 2nd photo above has been denuded...

Hardly surprising, since this trail has been used by mountain bikers for 30+ years then suddenly it's not. Silly thing is, NPWS have widened and smoothed these trails making them perfect water carriers for the next big rains to probably cause more errosion than otherwise.

Shame they flattened the trails though. Wonnie is great for all the little chutes. Short but steep. Previously lived out that way and would ride the trails in the green space valleys between those 3 or 4 suburbs. Moonies was always fun. Haven’t been out that way for years though.

My day started slow. But will be taking a new (to me) bike for an easy shakedown ride, probably at Loftus. Fingers crossed for no issues!
