New CORC XC season – New race plates

7 February, 2016

Sorry, Alwyn. I beat you to it this year. A personalised plate could also be ordered before the event with your choice of number and your name on the plate. Good to see that Dangerous Dan didn’t disappoint 😉

DUO-Classic 2016

6 February, 2016

Libby and I rode the Duo Classic on January 30th. This is a great event, as the vibe is way more relaxed and friendly then most other XC races. You could tell at the start line, it was super noisy with everybody chatting with each other, unlike many XC races I have done where we […]

ABC+ Tour

1 February, 2016

In other news from Vietnam, Ash, Bleeksie, Ci and Frederik enjoyed 5 days’ riding in the Central Highlands in dry but sometimes freezing conditionsâ€”courtesy of a once in 40 years cold front that’s still making things chilly in the inadequately heated Larkin mansion in Hanoi.

Coffee with the Da Nang bunch

24 January, 2016

Fit for 3fidi style riding, rolling start, fast sprints, finished off with coffee and food. Coffee was a little or should I say a lot cheaper than in Aus. Also met Claude Perzo, who is still super fast coming from a background of racing together with Bernard Hinault.

Taxi T-bone

1 December, 2015

If you have a collision with this guy, let me know. He’s a d1ckhead. The bigger problem was that he would not admit fault and did not understand that he must look and give way to users of the footpath. I got Â T boned by this guy on the way back from Roasters this morning […]

Look what happens when Alwyn left to ride on his own

22 November, 2015

Took a violent tumble out on the back trails of Stromlo this arvo. Fortunately no broken bones but a very sore arse and elbow. Before you all pipe in with my riding skills’nt ……what happened was the cap on top of my lefty blew off on a minor drop off, thereby collapsing my whole front […]
