I went biking today for the first time since 2013. I rode 8.5 miles in an hour. No matter how much I love driving cars and riding motorcycles. Bicycling always feels very organic to me and brings back fond memories of my youth. In 2026, I will be focusing on biking to build endurance for bike touring next year. I want to do the 184 miles of the C&O Canal Towpath, averaging 40-50 miles a day.

Every year, I focus on one or two outdoor activities. Last year, it was all about #paddling. This year, it will be #biking and #overlanding.
However, I have also planned two family car camping trips and one rafting trip. So much to do in so little time. Can we have a longer summer this year?

Ylvi, das Chisel und ich. 😍
Heute die erste Runde seit Fahrradkauf damit gefahren. Auf Asphalt, damit es nicht so dreckig wird. For real! 😂 Ylvi natürlich am Rand wo weicher Wald- und Wiesenboden ist. Perfekte Strecke, um Ylvis Galopp-Einheiten zu fahren. Auf Asphalt bin ich einfach schneller. 😅#Fahrrad #MTB #SpecializedBikes #Chisel #SpecializedChisel #Training #Dogs #Hunde #Sonne #Gegenlicht

I can't find any UK mountain bike posts on here. So I thought I'd post a bit of praise to Focus Events for their recently completed XC series in Nottinghamshire #mountainbikingUK #mountainbike #specializedbikes #Weldite #singletrack

Canberra's lovely for short or long rides and I took full advantage of the cool, spring weather to rebuild some resilience for >100km rides.
Last weekend was north on some unfamiliar roads towards Murrumbateman and yesterday was south, on a more familiar route, to Tidbinbilla.
The rides were mostly sealed roads with a little gravel to reach some alternative or less accessible spots.

A lovely weekend spent at my sister's place near the Hawkesbury River, North of Sydney. Solo-ing through thick, Aussie bushland on dirt, sand and gravel in some great conditions was pretty special and I racked up 80km and 1600vm over the two days.
I spotted a couple of wallabies, a kookaburra and, unusually, a Lyrebird!

I'm considering treating myself to a new bike, looking at Specialized Diverge E5 2023 as a decent option. Anyone got one and willing to share experiences? It would be good to here the pros/cons from actual riders.
It's probably overkill for me though, just to ride a mile down the riverbank once a week 😀

A couple of big rides over the last two days: Out west to the Cotter and then south to Tidbinbilla with brunch in Tuggers at Two Before Ten after following a single-track path along the Murrumbidgee river. Good ride: 80km, 1085m climbing.
Today we went out to Googong Dam, battling consistent headwinds and lots more hills! Brunch at Ma Ma Dumplings at the Fyshwick Markets!
66km, 966m climbing.That's 200km for the week and 2600m of climbing. I'm having tomorrow off!

Riding around Canberra on some bitterly cold mornings provided some good photo opportunities of this fair city (and its neighbour).

A big ride out south, towards Tidbinbilla, and I rode a couple of sections I've never done before - visiting the tracking station and a ride around the nature reserve.
It was a great ride on a beautiful autumn day here in the ACT - mist on the river and low cloud clinging to the high slopes, sunshine in a big, open sky and a light, cool breeze. It's good to be alive!
Distance: 106.20 km | Elev Gain: 1,498 m

Yesterday, two friends and I rode in the Snowy Classic - a 110km (1650m climbing), closed road event in Jindabyne in the Australian Snowy Mountains. It's a beautiful spot at this time of year, up and down hills and through some classic Australian country towns like Berridale and Dalgety.
This is the second year of the event and my second ride. The 110km is testing but not terribly difficult for me, except for a massive difficulty spike at the 82km mark in the form of a monstrous hill called Beloka - average gradient 9.4% but some sections are 20%!
From Cycling Australia: "Short, sharp and brutal, Beloka is one of Australia’s most feared and revered cycling climbs."
Last year, Beloka beat me (I got off and caught my breath and then got back on) and I was resigned to more of the same because it's tricky to train for such an incongruously difficult climb. However, with the Tasmania trip, a year's worth of consistent riding (150km / week) under my belt and a very generous helping of resolve, I did it!
It's a great ride and is very well run like all the Classics events. I'll be back again next year to re-test my mettle against Beloka.
