Rider redux: Vale Richard Ballantine
http://riderredux.blogspot.com/2013/06/vale-richard-ballentine.html
Getting back in the saddle. Tuesday, June 11, 2013. I was saddened to learn over the weekend that Richard Ballantine, author of "Richard's Bicycle Book" has died. Richard's Bicycle Book was an enormous influence on my riding and love and cycling, and I've been recalling fondly, afternoons spent planning rides, repairs and civil disobedience while turning it's pages. I hope he is turning the pedals even now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter. View my complete profile.

Rider redux: November 2012
http://riderredux.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Getting back in the saddle. Monday, November 12, 2012. Today I took the Paino out again this morning for a quick 50km and find that every time I ride it I like it more and more. So easy to push, even into a stiff wind with a worn freewheel and chain. I'm thinking that I will make it my Monday bike so I can continue to enjoy it. Tomorrow I've got a date for a ride up the gun club hill and then will be heading to the city to see Radiohead. Then its back to work on Wednesday. With ringing ears! The route up...

Rider redux: 3 Parks 200
http://riderredux.blogspot.com/2013/05/3-parks-200.html
Getting back in the saddle. Monday, May 13, 2013. Following the Riverina Romp I decided to move my new bike purchase forward and took delivery of a Cervelo R3 last week. After a few tuning rides I felt confident to remove the saddle from my faithful Roubaix and attach it to the R3 for this weekends 3 Parks Ride, a 200 km brevet that is known for it's relentless pursuit of hills. I stopped for lunch at a Cafe in Picton and chatted with an older couple about wildflowers in Western Australia, while I enjoye...

Rider redux: Getting used to the pies
http://riderredux.blogspot.com/2013/04/getting-used-to-pies.html
Getting back in the saddle. Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Getting used to the pies. After surviving my manflu I wasn't anticipating any heroic riding this weekend. In fact I had committed to some extracurricular work activities (which involved driving a mini loader) so was less than optimistic about riding too far. As I passed the 2 thirds point on the climb I was passed by a few of the faster triathaletes, but only a few and was soon at the Pie shop for the second time in a week, enjoying their wares and c...

Rider redux: December 2012
http://riderredux.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Getting back in the saddle. Sunday, December 30, 2012. Finished off the festive 500 today with a relatively short 42km ride. So I will likely get another ride in tomorrow but so far its 512km with 5253m climbed and 22hours in the saddle. Links to this post. Monday, December 24, 2012. For the last year now I have been having fun with Strava. Today was the first day and hoping to get off to a good start, Ben and Harvey and I set off for a run up to the National Park, thinking to go for about 120kms or so&#...

Rider redux: February 2013
http://riderredux.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Getting back in the saddle. Sunday, February 10, 2013. The quest for the perfect pair of shoes really knows no bounds and on Friday I picked up a pair of wide fit Bont Vaypors. They look the goods and a 70km ride on Saturday with poorly aligned cleats showed them to be quite comfortable though I am yet to heat mold them. They are much lighter than the current workhorse Sidis and very stiff. To celebrate I cleaned the Roubaix and even gave it a coat of wax. Shiny bike to match the shiny shoes. So as a new...

Rider redux: October 2012
http://riderredux.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Getting back in the saddle. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. As months on the bike go, October turned out to be a pretty good month. Especially considering that I wasn't supposed to be riding! Being on leave for half of the month is a big help, so much more time for longer rides and the weather has been great. So analysis of the month is 17 rides for 1003km and 10,855m of climbing. My best monthly effort for some time. Special Sunscreen Filter used. Mileage in Kilometers = 4782. Links to this post. The Illaw...
