Pissi Beer, Steve (El Ganso) and I got in a few SS rides while I was visiting Aus over the last few weeks. Most of the pics have been stuck in his camera for that time, but finally got them out to blog. I don't know if it's Steve who brings the bad luck, but each time we've been out it's been a flat tyre, mechanical and crash-fest. I'm blaming him anyway. But at least he brings tools and spares, I've been caught without a chainbreaker, pump and tube on a couple of rides.
Look a t him go. This was at the end of 'Bus Stop', where Steve's chain tool lived for a week after I'd neglected to give it back, or indeed even pick it up off the ground, after fixing this....
My half link decided to give up the ghost, straight after Steve had fixed his flat and ridden off down the singletrack of...
'Little Borneo'. It's pretty cool to see how the names that I suggested for some of the trails in Glenrock are now the accepted and used monikers. At least I'll have a legacy for something...
Is that the best you can do? My mum ripped more skin off her knee and shin on the corner of a cabinet yesterday... I actually peeled a chunk of skin off the cabinet, it was nasty. And she didn't even cry, unlike some bike rider whose name shall remain Steve.
Lat saturday we were joined by Nath, and the Steve curse struck again as Nath and myself were nobbled by flats. Next day Nath and I hit the road, and the big fella suffered another blow out. Of course I'd forgotten my spare tube and pump, and Nath's puncture kit was bereft of glue, leaving us on tenterhooks on the return leg every time we'd hit a patch of broken glass (which was every metre it seemed...).
