Off-road to Mt Solus

There’s an old fire tower on top of a good sized hill deep in the forest near where I live. It’s been staring at me from google earth for months and I’ve been working my up to riding to it.  The forest here being what it is (remote, noone there, no phone signal) I decided to wait until I had company before trying to get to…

Off-road goodness

So, having just talked myself up on the internet about how badd-ass I’m going to be riding my bike into the inhospitable red centre of Australia, I thought I’d actually take it off road.   You mean I haven’t actually been off road on this thing? Pah, details. *ahem* So I fuelled up and headed for the hills.

500th Post! – Adventure Dreaming

Happy 500th postaversary, I’ve been blogging for ages – close to 10 years now, but as is the way of things, blogs were started, burned, rekindled, abandoned.   But this one has been around since Feb 2008, which make it almost 6.  Not too shabby.  Theres been some ups and downs, but generally life is good.  Busy, crazy, but good. So – this 500th…

Pics from the daily commute – 2

  Twas a lovely morning for it, but then it usually in in Perth in the summer to be fair.  You really have to be on the road early before the sun has had too much time to crank up the heat, but as I’m in work before 8, thats not usually a problem 🙂

Pics from the daily commute – 1

I got a GoPro camera for taking all kinds of video footage, but primarily for taking videos when I’m on the bike. The videos are fun (I’ll post some up later) but I don’t have a fast enough computer to be able to process my daily files and make decent clips (that’s about to change though, as I have a shiny iMac about to…

And another thing…

Just when you thought it was safe to come back.. MORE PHOTOS! I know.  It’s a bit of a cheek really, as I already had all these shots ready to go last week, but held them back a I didn’t want that last post to be endlessly massive. But I care not one jot, you all love me anyway, right?

Now, where were we..?

Hello, dear readers!  1000 apologies for the slight hiatus but I’ve been sick.  Stupid winter flu bugs have kept me from doing a lot for the last month. I even missed a day of work and as I only get paid for what I work (no sick leave for us company directors) that’s a pretty big deal.  For me to sacrifice that amount of…

A ride around the beaches

Best thing about living by the sea – being able to ride around the beaches. It never gets old.  Probably because I grew up an hour or so’s drive away from the coast I hardly ever saw it, except for holidays and the occasional sunny summer Sunday. So off I went out with the camera again – and here’s some pictures 🙂

tiny update

Its been a crap couple of weeks for getting out and about and taking photos cos I’ve been sick. Yes, the dreaded man-flu. You know it’s bad when a 4 day weekend with gorgeous 30C sunny days could not even tempt me outside, and then the following week I had to have a day off work.   When you’re paid by the day and don’t…

To breakfast and back

Sundays on the bike.  That’s what this blog is turning into! I warn you, it’s probably not going to get much better!!  I’m hooked on riding my little bike and I can hardly wait to get my next bike test done so I can graduate onto bigger bikes and explore a bit further.  That will have to wait until the end of the year…
