A few quick notes
October 30th, 2009My bag finally arrived from Wiggle on Wednesday!! It's quite a bit larger than I expected, but otherwise is pretty cool. The laptop compartment is a perfect fit for my D630. Inexplicably, there is no loop on the back of the pack to which one would att… more »
Commuting to work, part five
October 26th, 2009Yesterday, I decided to ride to work using BestMate's route. Essentially, this involves riding to the CBD, getting onto the Bicentennial Bikeway, joining the Western Motorway bikeway, then hitting the back streets near BestMate's place to get to work. … more »
Commuting to work, part four
October 24th, 2009I decided to go ahead and buy the Deuter Cross City backpack. Even though I know I can get it cheap overseas, I wanted to buy locally. You know, support our local economy and all that. Hurdle number 1: A search for this bag on Google produced only on… more »

Another perfect riding morning
October 22nd, 2009... completely wasted. I had great plans of getting up early this morning and having a long ride, since I'm not starting work until mid-morning. Instead, I slept in, got up, looked at the beautiful, perfect, wonderful riding weather outside, said "Meh"… more »
It's early...
October 20th, 2009... and the weather is beautiful. So why aren't I out riding? :-/ more »
Tour Du Monde
October 19th, 200946,000 Km and counting! :yes: I particularly enjoyed this tract (babelfish it if you're not a francophone):
"Mais je suis aussi victime d'un tas d'attaques par un oiseau agressif, plongeant sur moi pour me lancer des coups de becs, cela parce qu'on e… more »
Commuting to work, part three
October 18th, 2009Today, I decided to ride to Griffith Uni, come hell or high water. Predictably, whatever I did to the bike yesterday did not fix it, so when it started making its funny noises again, I made the executive decision to just ignore it. :oops: Yesterday's… more »

Commuting to work, part deux
October 12th, 2009After riding The Noble Steed the other day, I awoke the next morning with a very sore hip. I've come to the conclusion that I will never be able to comfortably ride The Noble Steed again. What I want to know is this: How in the bloody fuck did I ride… more »
The Wilson HTM Brisbane to Gold Coast 100Km ride
October 12th, 2009Yesterday was the Wilson HTM 100Km ride from Southbank to Soutport. I had a terrific ride, a significant improvement over last year. You might recall that I finished the ride last year in a touch over 8 hours. This year, I finished it in 5 hours and 26… more »

Max's Commuting Challenge - Phase 1 complete
October 9th, 2009Yesterday, I had to attend a seminar in town, so I rode in on The Noble Steed. I was laden down with a pannier that contained: shirt, undies, bra, jeans, socks, belt, shoes, thongs (to wear in the shower), toiletries bag, headlights (wasn't sure if I'd b… more »

The Noble Steed
October 7th, 2009I'm running late for work, so this is just a short one. I took The Noble Steed out for a test run this morning. It's still big. It's still heavy. And I still love riding it. :yes: more »
Obsession
October 5th, 2009Last night I dreamt of bicycle wheels, green pavement, offramps and flashing red tail-lights.

Commuting
October 4th, 2009I've been thinking lately about riding to/from work. Partly this is because I feel like I'm not getting enough riding in during the week. It's also because I'm feeling a bit guilty about neglecting The Noble Steed. And there's a part of me that's a fr… more »

The vanity search
October 2nd, 2009You know what I'm talking about. It's when you Google yourself. No, no, no, that's not something you do in the shower when there's nobody else home. It's when you do a Google search on yourself. Most of the time, I get hits on myself - ancient forum… more »
