Hope so. Nearly 3 hours on the bike this morning, checking out a new bike path.

I was about to link my strava account but pics seem to be working now. Not that they're much to look at. My phone is old and I'm not much good at picture taking...

I think my bike looks awesome but it never seems to photograph well. The proportions always seem different.

Spent Sunday afternoon at the Maryvale Pines Trails, heaps of tracks to test out, was a good workout. Had near on 20mm of rain the day before which made for plenty of action (read slippery AF with muddy sections)https://www.trailforks.com/region/maryvale-pines-19417/

My Strava year in sport.

I did 25kms this morning kicked off at 8am so wasnt too bad but when we were done a few hours later it was warm.
I need to start taking my hydration pack but they annoy me to wear even though ive found a good option with the one i have.

Ill be riding to work tommorrow, but i do have an ebike in the shed just to lesson the pain!
I generally ride Tuesday mornings, but looking at how warm its going to be through tommorrow night/Tues morning i might pass. That or take the ebike.

Should say it was on his shirt back and riding with another older guy, not on a car just to clear that up.

Ive been debating a new bike for a bit, but i couldnt justify it until i seen this. It has big shoes to fill but we'll see, price was better than good also

Ended up P2

My Norco has served me well, and if the new bike isnt right it'll stay on longer.

Well!
New bike is now gone.

Ive been back riding my Norco for a bit now, its just a better all round bike really.
New (gone) bike, was an amazing bike in its own right and i tried to convince myself it was right for me but sadly it wasnt.

I do have another ebike coming, this time not a full fat ebike as such. Only has a 400wH battery, but full 85nm mota in a light weight carbon frame.
Should be here sometime in Jan.
