Up the creek ... with a paddle.

Spent a very enjoyable few days paddling up the Noosa River. The sky looked ominous as we head out across Lake Cootharaba.

but the weather cleared for a perfect time on the river

... and a lot of time in and under the river as well  :-)

There are so many great places to visit ... so little time.

Christmas Day on the Bay

What can I say?

started Christmas Day

on the Bay

What better way?

It must be Christmas

There was the sound of jingle bells in Daisy Hill this morning which can mean only one thing ... its Christmas eve.  A dozen of us had a great ride again this morning finding all the hills we could to burn off as many calories before Christmas lunch tomorrow

The lads were all in the spirit of things wearing there Christmas antlers which they had to take off before Stonehenge  ;-)

Have a great and safe Christmas 

Summer nights

Summer in Qld means that it is often better to ride at night than in the day to beat the heat. On the shortest night of the year, seven of us got out into the wilds of Daisy Hill to enjoy the dark, moonless but pleasantly cool evening.

There were bugs a plenty but we didn't notice them at the time. Each one of the dots on the image is a bug reflecting the flash.

There were also plenty of koalas out as well.

Kids rides

Its holiday time so its good to get the 10 year olds out on the singletrack ... a new generation of mountain bikers in training.  and its always good to try new bikes :-)

Have a great Christmas !!!

Bushwalking the Budawangs ...

Anyone interested in bushwalking may get a laugh from the fashions in the 80's. If you haven't been to the Budawangs south of Nowra, they are definitely a great place to walk. No mtbing though.

hail the mighty Yeti

Finally I got to ride a Wednesday morning again after a few weeks off with wet weather and bike out of service. Fitness has gone down noticeably as heart rate was nearly maxing out on one of the climbs :-O

The lads were impressed by the new frame on the Yeti and held it high so they could worship it ;-)

the return of the YETI

The raw 575 has arrived ... a big thumbs up.
