I didn't want to go for a ride. It's cold, but might get hot. What to wear? Where to go? Tracks everywhere, I can't choose. 🤷 Nope.

But. I had to use my Grinch sox. Staying local would solve the clothes problem—I wouldn't be far from home, cooking or freezing. Same old, sa... NO! Get going, *mate* (menace). Today would be singletrack, firetrail, & a different creek.

What can I say? Sore. Knackered. Dirty. Ate flies. Crashed twice. Some blood.

I love riding.

One of the Grinch socks I was very fittingly given at Christmas. It's dirty from mountain biking, and has horizontal red and white stripes. There's embroidered holly leaves and berries. Above the holly the word Grinch has been embroidered. Above that, the infamous green face and yellow eyes of the Grinch. There's more.

At the top of the socks, there are two thicker green stripes, separated by a red stripe. Above that is a hairy chicken leg. OK, my leg.

The background is a sandstone rock.

A yellow and blue emtb leans on a tree at a point far above a creek. An angophora costata is to the right, transitioning from pink to orange with the annual shedding of skin.

Don't quote me, but I think that's Aeroplane Hills in the background. So named after a Wirraway plane crashed on the other side many years ago, killing the occupants.

At least 15 years ago, after some research, I visited the site, it's well hidden. Some of the plane's skeleton was still there. Those photos were lost in the great HDD AND BACKUP crash.

Two angophora trees. One is stale grey pink, the other fresh new salmon orange. The difference is how advanced their annual bark shedding is. The pink one has just started

Have we seen the last Porsche e-MTB?

Teewing's unreleased Flux eMTB, powered by DJI's top-tier Avinox motor and featuring high-pivot suspension, promises to be 2026's best-value electric mountain bike with prices starting around €6,899.

Gravity riders, take note!

My first Megamo experience and my second with AVINOX, both of which leave distinct impressions.

This is a very adaptable & tuneable piece of hardware, but also comes packaged up with large leaps in software improvements.

All in all, a bike that is as fun on the climbs as the descents. Power politics aside, nobody can deny that the Avinox system is impressive and improving faster than many of its competitors can.

The Amflow PL Carbon Pro e-MTB redefines the game with DJI’s powerful, sleek Avinox motor delivering 1000W peak and razor-light carbon build.

It climbs like a rocket, rides like a dream, and upgrades itself via firmware.

Future of e-biking is here. #eMTB #TechRide

#WinterTour 🚴‍♀️ ❄️☃️ nächste Woche Bock auf ne Winterliche RundTour mit dem #eMTB #hotzenwald oder auf den #Dachsberg .. mal sehen was der Wetterbericht sagt.

We got our hands on a Yeti MTe C2 and have spent the weeks since in the woods where Yetis belong, jumping, carving, skidding up leaves and comparing climbing ability.

This is an #emtb with an entirely different, trend-bucking proposition where the priority has always been the bike and the electrics are there just to add length to your days while making sure you are fresh for the descents.

Well it happened again. I need to speak to the manager.

I got off my arse & went for another ride. Old me didn't want to - I swear that tree moved. Probably a gale. Hot, too. Best stay home. New me really didn't want to, either, but new me reminded old me of the size of that arse.😱

So I went. Yes. The same bloody place. Shut up. I like it. I mixed it up a bit, though. Down, flat, uuup, down, uup, flat, up down [jumpy], uuup vs down, flat, uuup, down, uup, uup.

With any luck, a brief video of a shallow creek, much drier than normal. It cuts through a sandstone rock shelf, dropping 8m just behind me. This creek is one of several feeding Lake Woodford. The greenery is natural bushland. My bike lies on the other side.

I love this spot, especially when it's wetter.

Lake Woodford dam wall. A pale green and yellow emtb leans against a power pole on the edge of a tar stretch. Behind we can see the very slightly overflowing dam wall, and the lake itself the greenery is natural bushland. The road turns to dirt in 50m, and follows the lake edge before a massive climb to Hazelbrook or Woodford. We can't really read that sign. It warns that fines for entry exceed $40k! No swimming!

A scrubby little native callistemon (bottlbrush) transformed in spring, covered with flowers the same size (3x10-12cm) and colours (red to pink) as my actual bottlebrush. It grows beside an almost dry creek feeding the much lower dam and nice waterfalls after rain.

It's interesting to see electric mountain bike sales pulling ahead of the general trend.

Here's a guide for those confused by the dizzying array of e-MTB styles on offer, with pros & cons for each, plus an assessment of when to balance weight, power & range.

Who in the #chicago area or #Illinois or #Denver #Colorado or anywhere if it’s remote and some traveling know of anyone who is hiring someone in a field or role similar to #emergencymanagement #ems #emtb #disaster #publichealth #publicsafety ? Dm me. I’m actively looking for career opportunities

#nachLaden für die FreitagsTour #hotzenwald ➡️ #hochRhein Morgen mit dem #eMTB & #lastenAnhänger lite40 steel 🚲 #hotzenwaldKurier liefert .. Freue mich auf die Rückfahrt 🚴‍♀️🌲🍂🔆 über das #murgtal 🌲🌲🍂🚴‍♀️

After pakkidge arrival, I rode a bike. Same place as last time, but a different route. Mr Garmin reckons one climb was >5km, but there were downs amongst the [checks notes] max grade of 31.5%, with most climbing over 12%. It was a bastard today, so I didn't add the optional bits - more steep climbs out.

MHR was only 12 over theoretical max & I was only in the top two zones 63% of the ride. 😱 Looks like you can work hard on an #emtb! Also looks like general fitness still needs work...
