Similar yet different

Yarra trails, the perfect place to get comfortable with the new bike. I did get out on one tougher trails last sunday but a few things just weren't right...


Decending at speed with brand new brakes is great until you need to stop.

So after a few setup tweaks it was time for some closer(and easier) trails

Groomed. Sometimes a bit muddy. But always great...



Finally getting the hang of the new bike. Even started getting a bit of "Aussie Style" drift on... until I hit a greasy patch




Front wheel gone, back wheel, tried to ride it down like Steve Peat but the survival instinct took hold. You can see the foot plant, there's a hand plant just above it and a knee somewhere in there as well. Filled the derailleur up with dirt and a pedal. Too funny. Pity no one was there to see.







Rockin. Almost as good as when i burnt a hole in my shoe... eh Rhino??
