Putting training into action!

Fellow blogger, Felt owner, neighbour and friend is a strong believer in the statement, “you don’t train to train, you train to race”.


Living by this motto he put it to the test this weekend at the in2adventure dirt fest at Daylesford.


Matt won the 50km race on Saturday, came third in the triathlon today and took home $300 to make his results feel even better.


Check out here for the full story.

Felt 2010 Compulsion Sale


Both bikes have been sold.

Please don’t be scared by the price of the Compulsions at $1000. The bikes have been discounted to move fast out of the sale yard. Both Ash and I saddled up these beast’s only a handful of times due to a very busy 2009. The Compulsion is definitely a bike suited to a rider looking for the free ride feel without paying for it in the legs and pocket.

Things aren't all dead here (although if someone doesn't step up and pick up these Compulsions for just $1000, they may well be...), we're both still riding, but working to get some sort of a base back together.

Amusingly I was heading for some extra's on Hell ride, and watching as the bunch turned at Mt Eliza. Bellie and Big Ivan Kalleur (sp?) continued in the bunch whilst I went straight, and as I watched them all dive for the orange turn light, Big Ive tips it in for the perfect carve and decks himself quick as a flash. The full hand down, rotating slide on the bitumen across/through the intersection! OW!!

I found out later that it was only some bark and a cut hand, and they straightened his bars and chased back onto the bunch. Fun times!

With all this 'wonderful talk' of removing parked cars from Beach road, I can't help but be mildly cynical. I've said for years that my solution would be 'clearway' from 6-12am sat/sun, from elsternwick to mordy, AND REMOVE THOSE STUPID MEDIAN STRIPS! What they are instigating currently is a crap, token measure that will do nothing more than annoy the residents and the motorists will still have the same issues at every median strip, and resent cyclists and the council... So close, yet it falls over at the last hurdle again...

Oh well...

Whilst I was nibbling on my Ascend bar (which gets me through pretty much every ride currently), it reminded me that Epix will be heading down to support the Ascend guys as they sponsor the Great Ocean Road Classic, and as such, YOU should come down and check it all out!

I must be losing my trigger finger, but I saw something out on the roads today that I wish I was able to capture on film (figuratively speaking..)

On a day forecast to be 34 degrees, people were quite lightly dressed. Not this 'person' (gender not determinable) -

Jeans
Jumper
Cap
Runners...

Set off by the following jewels,

Neoprene knee guards over jeans...
Balaclava..............!
And to top off the whole ensemble, SKI GOGGLES...!!!!

Just another commuter on StKilda road...

And hey, don't forget, $1000 each for the Compulsions. Part 'em, run them as is, do what you like but just help us help you!



Plenty of cool stuff to look at around the web at the moment - Melburn to adelaide or close enough, solo, mental

Singletrackin somewhere 'up there'

And everything from Wildside.
