Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Ronde 3.0 sponsors piling up. First off, thanks to everyone who has committed to Ronde 3.0. The ride is full already, which is awesome. More riders than v1 and v2.

To help us achieve #2, the following sponsors have already committed support to the staging, on course assistance, and raffle prizes. The Washington Square Tavern. You'll be passing by RSC on...

Loki Cycles: April 2011
http://lokicycles.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
An amateur bicycle framebuilder: living and working in the tiny Central Highlands town of Blackwood, Victoria. I build handcrafted steel bicycles in my shed. Friday, April 29, 2011. Post blast, pre paint. Dom's bike back from the local sandblaster. I'll have to keep it somewhere warm and dry until it hits the painters: freshly blasted steel rusts like a mofo. Lower head lug and fork crown. Bottom bracket and bridge. Hopefully the next shot has it with some paint on it. Sunday, April 24, 2011. They go int...

Loki Cycles: March 2011
http://lokicycles.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
An amateur bicycle framebuilder: living and working in the tiny Central Highlands town of Blackwood, Victoria. I build handcrafted steel bicycles in my shed. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Off with the stay, clean it up, reposition it and have another crack. You can see just how much surface corrosion you get in a couple of weeks. The right one is lovely and clean, but that rust bloom just keeps coming back to freshly cleaned steel. Friday, March 11, 2011. The last of the distractions. This is the bike th...

Loki Cycles: January 2011
http://lokicycles.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
An amateur bicycle framebuilder: living and working in the tiny Central Highlands town of Blackwood, Victoria. I build handcrafted steel bicycles in my shed. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Dom's bike looks like a bike now. Big session in the shed over Australia Day. The bike is starting to look a lot more like a bike as opposed to a collection of tubes. Looking a lot like a bike! Water bottle bosses in place. And after a scrub and a tiny bit of clean-up with some emery cloth. Nothing terribly exciting here...

An amateur bicycle framebuilder: living and working in the tiny Central Highlands town of Blackwood, Victoria. I build handcrafted steel bicycles in my shed. Sunday, April 24, 2011. And now for something completely different. Making some stainless ring-bolts for rock-climbing applications. 30 odd lengths of 316 stainless, cut to length and then a section of texture added with the angle grinder. Is done and all of the rings are ready for welding. With the TIG welder and some 316 filler rod. There is o...

Until the Snow Ends: Bedford Cyclocross Race Report
http://untilthesnowends.blogspot.com/2007/09/bedford-cyclocross-race-report.html
Monday, September 24, 2007. Bedford Cyclocross Race Report. One of the great things about cross is that you can do it twice in a weekend because it's not as physically destructive as mountain biking. So instead of spending Saturday farting around and resting up for Sunday's MTB race, you can just race Saturday, and if that doesn't go well there's always Sunday. Which isn't to say that Sunday won't be a bit slower, but it's not a guaranteed suckfest like back-to-back 3 hour MTB races would be. The first l...

Cross in New Belgium: One of those days...
http://crossinnewbelgium.blogspot.com/2008/02/one-of-those-days.html
Cross in New Belgium. Nothing against history or the English themselves. But with our passion for cyclocross, I think we relate better to the Belgians! From September through April (don't forget the Spring Classics), call our six states New Belgium. Think of it as a tribute to the Belgian hard men who kill themselves racing their bikes and training in the toughest conditions possible. Wednesday, February 20, 2008. One of those days. Hump days, I tell ya. Get on your bike, dude! View my complete profile.
