Flow Mountain Bike Magazine – Issue 3

My favourite article in the new Flow Mountain Bike mag is one on four men and four garages by Damian Breach. I like the story told through images and interviews, and the stories it simply suggests. My other favourite is

The Nespresso machine, fridge and several iPhones sucked a fair bit of power. So the microwave was plugged straight into the generator instead. Porridge anyone?

Taking Racing to the Next Level at the Mont

The image above pretty much sums up ‘the Mont‘ for me. The weekend-long, 24 hour racing adventure is serious in that there’s months worth of logistics and planning that have gone into it, but it’s very un-serious in character. Which

Even on the first group ride I was blown away to see so many fit women on bikes.

Sydney Uni Velo Women’s Road Race Team

I joined the Sydney Uni Velo Club last year so I’d have people to ride with on the days I didn’t have anyone to ride with. They are one of several clubs that hold regular rides leaving Sydney’s Centennial Park

Trail Bikes and Downhill Runs: My New Most Favourite Thing

Gravity Enduro racing is taking off. And after riding at the Rocky Trail Flow Rollercoaster at Del Rio on Sunday, I can see why. Ride up the hill at any old speed with your mates. Session techo bits so you
