CCW to Cowes & Back – A Trio’s Tale

We never miss the opportunity to get in on an adventure. So when Hallsy planted the seed, it didn’t need much watering to sprout shoots. With a few adventures planned in 2023, a late 2022 test of a few bike packing set up items was in order. Within a fortnight from a mere whisper of […]

Super Secret

I’ve been using the Silca Secret Chain blend and Super Secret drip wax system for a few months now and I can say that I am more than just impressed. Having a super quiet and continuously clean drive train is just one major benefit over all of the traditional lube systems I have used over […]

Don’t Forget Your Own Backyard – Part 2

Oh my god what is that noise and where am I? Wow – I am glad I set the alarm as I was completely out of it after yesterday’s ride. Like waking after a big night out. A quick check of the body and while stiff it doesn’t feel too bad. Feeling a little sluggish […]

Bikepacking Fun – Part 2 of 3

In Part 1 of this thread we discussed preparation and what to pack for this bikepacking gravel ride weekend on the Great Southern Rail Trail. The weather forecast was for a cracking day of blue skies, mid-twenties temperatures and a little cross winds late in the day. With all that in mind a little slip, […]

Modern Road – Cervelo Caledonia

Author: David Richards Road bikes have evolved! Remember your first road bike? It was a great way to explore more? Or carry you through your first race? Perhaps even through the backstreets to get to school. I remember mine! It was delivered on Xmas morning, but in a slightly non-operational way. Santa’s helper had no […]
