Woodys X T.Whites Bootleg Hustle

An awesome day was had, cheers to Woody, Tim and all the people that made it happen. Race was a 6 stop check point around Auckland, coming in at around 25kms depending on route and order of check points. Duncan, Kenny and I took what turned out to be a some what bad route choice, and battled with some annoying winds on the waterfront. 4 checkpoints down around Showgirls of all...

Are shakes on the go a good idea? A man by the name of Jay who as been floating around for a little bit in the Auckland bike community came with this week, this is his Colnago… its pretty fricken rad!

Big Wednesday : Kits & Clips

So last year we did a few Wednesday night rides on a slightly larger scale than normal in training for the 100l Rotorua/Taupo race. These were well enjoyed by most, so for the first ‘Big Wednesday’ of 2012 Kenny and I decided to change it up a bit and bring in ‘Kits & Clips’ so larger rides with cleats and lycra for that inner roadie in all of us that we don’t...

So when a sneaky Mexicali run after Tims party came up it was a good chance to smash around the city with the boys again, you know enjoy the finer points of riding fixed in auckland, like the wonderful hills we have and the ignorant drivers of C36 AMG Mercedes’! Watch out for car doors...

With the good old Tank Farm Tuesday rides dying out a bit over summer, we thought it would be good to get these back and going. Small crew this week, Kenny even came on his roadie as his NJS build has had a few speed bumps, luckily David showed him how to use it correctly… In fact Lil’ David was full of knowledge with even the old vans to get chain tension trick making a long...

As you probably know by the ‘one-hitter-quitter’ blog posts over the weekend that we were in the amazing picturesque city of Rotorua for the Lake Rotorua Challenge. The circuit was two laps of the lake you see above totaling in 84km, pretty mellow, aside from one or two hella “c*#nty” hills for track bikes. Most of the crew made the trip with myself (Hagan), Conrad,...
