Today's Ride

[moonlite]

There hasn't been much time and even less inviting weather recently, but got out for a quick tool around on the '99 Explosif this afternoon.

Was really glad I did because I spotted a huge Wedge-Tailed Eagle sitting on a fence post near the road. Rather an imposing presence -- it didn't seem particularly disturbed by my passage and only reluctantly took off and flapped away.

Went back a while later with a telephoto lens but the sun had gone behind a cloud so it was very dull -- this is shot at ISO 3,600 so there's not a heap of detail, but the size of the beast is pretty clear.

For a second there I thought you had huge panda bears roaming the trails

Ahhh, nice bike! The next step in my bike-build-evolution will be something similar from the genre of old-school trekking bike. My I ask you what is yours exactly and if there is a build thread of it?
