Given all the rain this week, I haven’t done much riding. So I thought I use this as an opportunity to post about bikes and bike related topics.

Last Saturday was the inaugural date of the most well organised and greatest prize pool in an alleycat Brisbane has probably ever seen. With 37 riders, 3 stages, 17 checkpoints and over $2,500 of prizes to hand out, the night was aimed at being a complete success. And from all accounts (minus some rain) it was.

The organiser, Kero has put together a report on the happenings and is worth reading.

Here’s hoping CNG2011 is just as great.

I got one of my frames back from the painters earlier this week. Looks amazing. Has a little bit of a brown tinge to it in the sun.

I just need to sort out a headset, bar tape, chain, pedal & foot retention and chain ring then I’ll be set. Thinking of putting a front brake on this one even after busting myself up.

I haven’t touched my mountain bike in sometime. Last time I went out to Gap Creek I lost my gloves, so I went out and bought some new ones that week. They have just been sitting there with my Camelbak, shin guards and bike since not doing anything.

But hopefully not before too long, I’ll get some time to head out again. I am dying to give this place a go.

It’s a mountain bike trails park just outside of Ipswich on a farm property. Only issues are it’s in Ipswich and it isn’t free. That’s not enough to stop me from wanting to go there though. You can get 1 or 2 day passes and the park also has cabins if you wishes to stay there if you get a 2 day pass.

What is it with trials riders picking up a fixed geared bike and then nailing some incredible shit. This one has been making the rounds of the internet this week. Great edit.

There is also Chris Layda who has a series called “Turning Tricks” which is/was a weekly video showing his progress as a freestyle fixed rider. Here is the latest one I could find.
