A weekend of contrasts!
Saturday
Saturday I went mountain biking on my own. I didn’t have a huge amount of time available, so through the bike in the back of the car and headed up to Mundaring. I parked just past the weir and rode up the Munda Biddi. Recent rains made some parts of the trail [...]

I was convinced to go for a hills ride today. Now my idea of a hills ride might be a lot tamer than yours, but to a fairly new cyclist this was going to be a challenge. But I thought “Hey, I’ve ridden the hills on my own a couple of time last year. It’ll [...]

For ages I’ve been meaning to start training properly. My current regime is just cycling to commute 4 times a week taking Fridays off. I try and get in a longer ride on Saturday mornings either with Cyclemania group 2 or a longer solo ride and then ride a slow short ride on Sunday mornings [...]
