Crater to Coast Rail Trail

Crater to Coast Rail Trail
I had a few hours to spare on a day trip to South Western Victoria so took the 24″ GUni along to ride the Crater to Coast Rail Trail, which runs 29km from Camperdown to Timboon (though the plan is to extend it all the way to Port Campbell). The trail climbs steadily from Timboon to Camperdown so...

Tipperary Springs

Tipperary Springs
Had a short but exciting ride today looping between Twin Bridges and Tipperary Springs. Lots of great single track, ultra narrow in places, sometimes with sheer rock wall on the hillside, sometimes with a big drop on the other, sometimes both! The single track also drops in and out of an old water race...

Breakneck Gorge

Breakneck Gorge
Had a fun MUni today at Breakneck Gorge near Hepburn Springs, on a section of trail that links the natural mineral springs in the area. The gorge is a great place for MUni – super narrow trails cut into surrounding hillside, lots of steep up and down, rocky, and big drops beside the trail into...

Hollow Sandy MUni

Hollow Sandy MUni
Had a fun late afternoon ride in the Wombat Forest, stopping off at a large hollow burnt out tree for some pics. Recent thunderstorms have scoured out sections of tracks, in the process creating unexpected, deep deposits of sand every now and then. The 3.0″ tire on the 24 GUni floats over it no...

Schlumpf MUni

Schlumpf MUni
Had a fun ride on the 24 GUni in the Wombat Forest. So far the summer has been reasonably mild with good rainfalls. All up good conditions for MUni. Some of the trails are becoming overgrown – I’ve got to get out there more! Schlumpf MUni I hadn’t checked the tension on the crank...

GUni Cruising

GUni Cruising
We’ve had some fun late afternoon rides on the 24″ GUni down at the local reserve with Didj the uni dog. There’s a satisfying feeling of load on your legs when riding in 1:1.5, and as time goes on your body and mind are increasingly willing and able to push the high gear faster and...

Tropical MUni

Tropical MUni
A super humid day in these parts, it felt like I was back in the tropics! I headed out into the forest on the 24 GUni for a post Xmas sweat fest. The 24 GUni is zipping along. The more I ride it, the more natural it feels in 1:1.5. AWESOME! Tropical MUni Tropical MUni

Xmas Uni

Xmas Uni
I haven’t had a chance to post much over the Christmas break but there’s still been time to ride the uni each day, even if only to exercise and train Didj, our new super dog The 24″ GUni is still my favorite uni, though I’ve also been riding the 20, 29 and 36. Getting back on...

6 Hour Cyclic Navigator

6 Hour Cyclic Navigator
The 6 hour Cyclic Navigator again proved to be an epic uni challenge. Storms in the 24 hours leading up the event combined with wind and rain on the day turned trails into streams and made for super slippery testing conditions anywhere off the dirt roads. My fitness is a long way down compared to this...

Wombat MTB Trail

Wombat MTB Trail
I had a few things to do in Woodend so took the 24 GUni along to ride the local Wombat MTB Trail. Good timing too as today was the last opportunity to squeeze in a longer ride before the Cyclic Navigator on the weekend, and the weather today was much hotter than the excellent cool conditions forecast...
