I’ve been looking for the perfect cycling jersey for a couple of years. After a lot of trial and error, I think I’ve found it. Before I tell you what it is, I need to explain the journey I took to discover the perfect jersey.. In Australia it’s hot and humid in summer, sometimes it’s […]
The new and revamped Mount Snow
Last weekend I was invited up to Mount snow to help coach the riders from Danny’s Cycle Racing. It’s been over a year since I’ve had a chance to ride Mount Snow, and that was for an Eastern States Cup race last year meaning I didn’t ride anything but the race trail. Between injuries and […]
The Lockyer Valley
Mountains, lakes, creeks and forests… the Lockyer Valley is a spectacular playground for adventurers and explorers. My mountain biking friends and I think that it’s probably the best kept secret in South East Queensland. Laidley Gap Covering over 3,000 square kilometres, The Lockyer is a fertile flood plain surrounded by Mountain Ranges. There are easy […]
Dog Tired – Part One: The Gear
As anyone that’s ever had a young dog (or kid, says my mum) knows, regular walks really just don’t cut it. Mountain biking with them, however, seems to be pretty close to the best possible way to make sure your pup actually sleeps (if only for an hour or two). The combination of running, sniffing, […]

This weekend included summer drinks (blackberry mojitos, anyone?); barbecuing with friends; and a Sunday […]
A Typical Yukon Ride
I went for a good, decently long ride this weekend, only the second one since I returned from Ontario last week. Summer in the Yukon is so sweet, but so short, that leaving even for a few days makes me nearly twitch with anxiety that summer will be gone by the time I get back. […]
It’s a Long Way to the Top – Part Two
“And I think to myself…. What a wonderful world!” ― Louis Armstrong I have seen more stunning scenery in the last three years on my mountain bike, than in the rest of my life combined – and most of that has been within a two hour drive from my front door. One of the main […]
Riding in the company of Dragons
Wales is throwing down the gauntlet Sure Scotland has long since established it’s claim to the British capitol of trails title. Deservedly so, it was miles ahead for years and they basked in their domination of the action. They were so busy feasting on battered and deep fried Mars bars that they got FAT! whilst […]
