This makes me smile. I hope it makes you smile too, knowing that bicycles are providing simple, sustainable relief to people in underdeveloped regions of the world.

Friday smile.
Bicycles make me smile. I was feeling a little flat, but with no good reason besides just a bit of the 'blerghs'.

Sunny afternoon forest ride
What better thing to do on a sunny Sunday afternoon than explore a forest by mountain bike. This forest is one of the Barossa's hidden gems here in South Australia. The ride was just right for an afternoon sojourn: carefree, breezy and full of laughs.
The best part was the Silentium sparkling shiraz consumed afterwards. Now that's perfect.

back on the boards...
...and loving it! It's the second time I've made a track 'comeback', and once again I'm wondering why I stopped in the interim. (Besides work/life/work/work/life etc etc).
My legs may not be as fast as I'd like them to be, but it all came back really quickly - that is, all the keep-pedalling, hold-the-line, don't-slide-down-the-track business.
It's loads of fun and such a buzz.
There's some other ladies who are racing as well, it's all super encouraging. Saturday women's-only training sessions have been a great thing as well!
If you're in Adelaide, have a look here. Maybe even come and try!

green with envy
The other day, I happened to find myself in the McLaren Vale, a gorgeous little spot with some rather nice wineries scattered around. It's also home to this groovy little bike shop, Oxygen Cycles, which you should visit if you're in the Vale. Actually, you MUST visit.
If not to cast your eyes upon this little beauty. I couldn't help but stare, then gently touch it.
It's name is Civia Loring and it's lovely. The mudguards and racks are made from bamboo.
Pop in and say hello, maybe even take her home.
