Last week I tried to ride a large loop from home which took in Scrub Road and South Boundary Road… but didn’t quite make it. I tried again this week, and didn’t quite make it again. The problem last week was lack of water and time. This week the … Continue reading It’s About the Journey 
Australia Day this year was an ideal opportunity for me to get out of the house after all the rain rain and take a nice long ride on the bike to think about what this country means to me. On the way, I got … Continue reading Australia Day 
I enjoyed last week’s solo ride down Taylors Break in D’Aguilar National Park, so I wanted to share it with a few friends. About 20 of us set off from Samford, following the Pony Trails to the bottom of Mount Nebo. Continue reading Taylors Break 
I took Liz’s Canon Powershot camera on my bike ride today in the hope I might spot some wildlife near the dam. As though responding to some cue, these eagles started soaring overhead while I rolled along underneath with my eyes pointing … Continue reading Eagles Here’s how the “Pedal Til You Puke” ride looked from the bike, courtesy of Darb Ryan’s helmet cam. This might give you an idea of how much fun it is to zip through the forests of Clear Mountain on a Mountain Bike. Another great video, Darb!

The idea was to have fun, see who could ride up (and down) the most hills without getting off the bike, and to raise money for a friend of ours. Graeme Ardern is fighting Hodgkin’s Disease.

We’re lucky to live near two artificial lakes: Lake Kurwongbah which was created when Sideling Creek was dammed in 1955, and Lake Samsonvale which was created when the North Pine River was dammed in 1968. I love riding the bike by these large bodies of water. 
The ride today started out as an experiment to see how long it took to ride from home to Ferny Grove via Bunyaville. (An hour as it turns out). But after that it turned into a hillfest. I decided to pit myself against the short-steep climb up Camp Mountain. In the past I was … Continue reading Slaying Hills |
