SRAM Singletrack Mind Series Ad

Do you have a Singletrack Mind? Turns out I sure do! I was pretty excited to see this great photo by Dave Bateman land on an advertisement for the 2012 SRAM Singletrack Mind NSW Enduro Series.

If you’re still planning what races to get excited about this year, it’s well worth adding some of these ones to your wish list. With options to go hard as a solo, harder as a pair, or take more time off the bike to eat, chat and get excited in a three, the day is what you make it. The great race atmosphere at these events then just adds to the experience. Juniors have the option to race in a four as well. Surely that’s why some of them are so quick!

Vaude Alpin Aeroflex 30 + 5 Pack

The Vaude Alpin Aeroflex 30 + 5 pack screams adventure. It holds everything you need for exciting outdoor adventures and has also been known to fit all I need for a week of play, games and more professional looking attire away from home. It’s small enough to ride with all day on the bike, or throw in the carry on locker on board a plane. The possibilities for where to take the Alpin are as endless as your imagination and desire.Continue reading “Vaude Alpin Aeroflex 30 + 5 Pack”

Long Term Thoughts: Radical Lights

Outer Edge night riding — “How to..mtb in the dark.” Outer Edge magazine, Jun-Jul 2011.

I was first attracted to the above article for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I thought the chick in the top right corner looked like a bit of a pinner and secondly, having been spoiled by a double set of Radical Lights to race with recently, I was curious to see how other people were describing the night riding experience. Upon reading it I had two conclusions, either the author hadn’t had the chance to ride with a set of Radicals yet, or they didn’t want to raise people’s expectations if they’d just forked out a swag of cash for some lesser beams.Continue reading “Long Term Thoughts: Radical Lights”

Adidas Eyewear Avignon Shades

You know you’ve hit the big time when you receive a set of high performance glasses for racing and a separate set for podiums and off bike use. Needless to say I was bouncing out of my skin with excitement as I pulled these Adidas Eyewear Avignons out of the box to take them for a whirl! Not only do these shades pass the random-inner-city-Sydney-stranger-nod-of-smiling-approval test with flying colours, they also seem to look the goods on everyone.Continue reading “Adidas Eyewear Avignon Shades”

Adidas Eyewear Supernova Pros

Adidas Eyewear’s Supernova Pros take all the good things about the standard Supernovas and add some extra Go Fast Factor. Given how much fast people like to sweat in summer, the clip on sweat band is a welcome addition as is the more protective frame shape. This model comes with a LST (Light Stabilising Technology) Active lens which gives superior contrast in bright, shadey and dappled conditions and has been known to make other riders green with envy whenever I pass these glasses around for a test out on the trails.Continue reading “Adidas Eyewear Supernova Pros”
