Some views of Brisbane Australia. 100kms around town crossing 11 of the bridges over the river.



103.1 km Ride Activity on January 1, 2018 by Keith H. on Strava

Picked a good day for it. My son rides from
Jindalee to the Tenerifffe end of Fortitude Valley and back to work most days.
That hill you rode down after the Storey bridge, have you ever ridden up it?

[Aussie Keith]

A few times yes, having sufficient gears helps a lot.  It wouldn't have been possible yesterday though. Amazing how much steeper these hills get in the heat.

Thanks Keith. Nicely edited. I really enjoyed that!

Great and very interesting report. Wore me out just reading about it in fact I have had a job just mowing my grass in the heat let alone riding all those Ks, well done.

[Dazzler]

Yesterday and today we held a conference of all OCs and COs of our FEG and I was told yesterday lunchtime that I'd have to present today. Therefore, as a cyclist, I had just enough time to grab the Service vehicle and drive home to retrieve my formal uniform (see avatar minus the sword) and drive it back for overnight storage in one of my lockers, planning a earlier start for this morning to cycle in, have a shower, change and join in meeting all the new personnel from around Australia at the BBQ breakfast.

So what happens? A dirty great rusty nail stabs through my rear tube and I end up walking the bike to work!

Fortunately, I had given myself enough time and all was good, met all expectations, booked the car again and fetched my tube repair kit and pump from home, dragged the rear wheel into the office and entertained the staff with my manual dexterity (and a little glue sniffing). The ride home was back to standard performance.

that's always a pain!! good to always carry spare tube and pump tyre leavers.
I run tubeless with sealant inside ( so far so good. )

For those with facebook. This may help explain the attraction for long distance cycling.

Bold/optimistic move riding without a spare tube and levers. Glad it all worked out OK in the end.

New drivetrain day. There's some serious hills approaching in the next few months. This is intended to help.

[mickd]

Bloody hell,
It should come with an indicator to show what gear you're in , 👍

Yes, more than a year daily there and back and this the first time I've needed them. A 1 in 780 chance!

As for that rear gear hub ...

thanks, Lester ,we have been lucky with the weather and having regular rain at night so you can wake up to everything wet & watered and a clear sunny day. but like anywhere we can have it cold or raining a lot. still daylight saving too.

no, I didn't hit the tree (don't be too disappointed) as later that day I did eat some dirt 

[PhireSideZA]

I recently jumped into the saddle after a ten-year hiatus from cycling and bought myself a fairly entry-level hardtail machine made here in good ol' ZA, named the Titan Rogue Peak 29er.

It has a Shimano Tourney XT groupset (3x7) along with Winzip Mechanical disk brakes (basically Shimano parts) and a nice light alloy frame. Oh, and also a HL- 565 MLO 100mm fork to absorb most of the bumps. A big upgrade from the last bike I had - an old no-name 26er with buckled rims, bald tyres and non-existent brakes!

[Dazzler]

Good on you Phil!
