In a discussion with Liam White last weekend I promised to, ‘pull my finger out, ride more, surf more, camp more and take pictures’. Given that I woke to snow on the hill behind my parents house I think I’m excused from failing the ‘camp more’ task, ….but I did manage to cram alot more of the above into the weekend. Kicked off with a three hour night ride from Seven Mile Beach to Margate, backed it up with some serious mud on the Kaoota tramway, and solid session of surf in the poo soup that is ‘Fishoes’. The ever eloquent Dave Killick wrote the tramway ride up on his blog ‘About the Bike’.

Been lusting after a Salsa Fargo since late 2009.. Finally have one in hand. Intentions for this bike? Touring. Lots of touring. Dirt road touring. Remote area touring. First cap off the rank? A sub24 dirt run, Dover return via the Southern Forests May 14/15 (shoot me an email if you want to come along). Initial thoughts on the bike? Big. Burly. Point and shoot. May have over cooked the wheelset a touch, but hell, I like it. Pics are from a sunset jaunt out to Apex Point, White Beach. Great spot on the hill overlooking the fish farm and across to Roaring Beach, with Mount Wellington in the far distance.

Throw it down!

Remote area bikepacking trip with Mick Gillies into the Petermann Land Trust (Northern Territory) winter 2010.

Mischa at the rally to support the Sandy Bay cycleway ….but no evidence of an accompanying bike or him having ridden a bike there. The quest for the illusive riding shot continues.
