I can testify that this is indeed a possible and even frequent phenomenon. Just like it's possible for a ride to be uphill going both out and back.

This is it pretty much in a nutshell. Most of my rides are too short to require much in the way of fuelling apart from water. Getting that hydration in is essential. And then rest. I find my approach has evolved over the years to incorporate both 'science' and 'feel' -- heeding good nutrition...

Definite wintry vibes today: overcast and chilly, following some weeks of nice autumn sunshine. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours bleeding the faulty front Hope Mono Mini on the Salsa, which I'd been putting off for months. Turned out to be much easier than anticipated, so was chuffed to be...

I decided recently to splash out on a new front brake for my 'number 1' MTB -- the original has seen a lot of action and is very tired, and rather than the mess and hassle of refurbishing the system, I opted for a new one. The brake eventually turned up and as ever was a lovely piece of kit --...

Just leave this here . . .

Our warm, dry autumn continues. Sunny, 25C, light breeze today. We had friends staying, but they left early to drive back to Sydney before the afternoon rush, so I had the chance to head off on the Jake. Took it easy, feeling quite good, enjoying the weather and the unexpected freedom...

I have it nicely tucked away ready for a refurb! I am wrestling with the idea of a full strip-down of the bike, maybe a respray, and rebuild with nicer parts. But I'm enjoying riding it right now, so will have to debate this with myself for a while longer.

A minor upgrade to the '98: having enjoyed riding it a lot this summer, I felt that a couple of bar ends would help with the slightly-too-small frame (along with that horrible setback seatpost). As the bike's in a bit of a tatty condition, I thought these X-Lites in well-used condition would be...

Clocks went back over the weekend here so evening rides are suddenly in the gloaming when the temp is dropping. Luckily, today I had no work-related commitments at lunchtime, and the Mrs was having lunch with a friend, so took off on the 98 Explosif (now with bar ends) for a quick spin around...

Still keen if you'll post to Australia!

I can predict a lot of bike-related work in your future . . .

It was one of those 'want to have' bikes at the time -- I recall a very positive review in MBUK (I think) which had me totally sold. Far out of reach at the time though.

That bumpy road was murder on my undercarriage

Pretty small frame but looks to be in good nick...
