  1. Glorious, simply glorious. Of course I rode!

    Worryingly local boronias that used to flower in October were out in abundance & smelling beautiful. So much spring!

    St Helena ridge firetrail & back. Mostly firetrail with some fun overgrown singletrack. My handguards earned their keep today! Sadly, they didn't prevent one tree trying to rip my helmet & sunnies off, stealing my inexpensive earphone. It's gone, I searched. 🤷

    47km 2hrs30
    Ascent 1139m

  6. Ooh... @ai6yr, this comparison between a modern downhill mountain bike, an eMTB, & a Cannondale almost as old as yours just popped up in my YouTube feed. Not long after I was musing on the same idea. 😁

    Sam Pilgrim, legendary mtb racer & nutcase takes them all on a timed run downhill. Can the old bike win? It certainly looks *exciting!*

  11. I rode to Lake Woodford again.

    Spring is sprung.

    It was nice out in the bush, & spring is really putting the hammer down, with bursts of yellow, red, cream, purple, & blue popping out everywhere. Here are just a few.

    I had fun. No crashes. Well OK, there *was* a little blood, but only a SPuD stack caused by poor line choice on a slow technical climb & failure to unclip in time. No real injury. 'Tis but a scratch, etc. SPuDs aren't crashes! 😂

  16. It seems the Oaks is my go to distance ride. Today I added Euroka + Bennett's Ridge, & also Nepean Lookout, a first in 20y(?)

    Records broken! 🏆
    66.76km (so close 👹) 3hrs5min
    Ascent 1503m
    9.44m jump 0.69s hangtime (nice)
    Even my max HR theoretically puts me at age 58, which I'll very happily take!

    10% charge remaining, but to get there I rode a lot in Eco, which I don't normally do, & none of the dowhills use the motor (assist is only to 25 kmh).

  21. I find it annoying that locals living in @pilipinas use #ebike as a blanket term for #eMTB, #eScooters, #QuadBike, etc. They're all different folks!

  25. Old(ish) vs new(er). A high-end 2013 Ibis Mojo HDR, & a midrange 2024 Rocky Mountain eMTB. Both have 170/160mm travel, are size M, & target the same riders.

    Old: 26" wheels
    New: 29"

    Old: 30spd 3x10
    New: 12spd 1x12

    Old: 36mm fork tubes
    New: 38mm

    Old: tiny
    New: humongous

    Old: turns slowly for its day
    New: barge

    Old: lighter (heavyish for its day) ~14kg
    New: heavy for any day ~25kg

    Old: me powered
    New: me +Es powered

    The Ibis looks more like a child's XC bike!
