And runs and does other stuff sometimes). Sunday, August 22, 2010. The DMR thats not. It was my birthday recently so I thought I would treat myself to a new bike. I had been on the lookout for a replacement for my DMR Singlespeed, I was looking for something lighter in weight and with XC geometry, it also had to made from steel. I built the bike up with a combination of new and old parts - Reba 100mm forks, Stylo 700mm flat bars, Juicy 7 brakes, Stylo Cranks, Mavic/DMR/Hope SS specific wheelset. Runn...

Pete Rides: A proper ride for the Nomad
http://peterides.blogspot.com/2010/06/proper-ride-for-nomad.html
And runs and does other stuff sometimes). Sunday, May 30, 2010. A proper ride for the Nomad. Today was my 1st proper ride on my new Nomad bike, though technically it was the 3rd time I had ridden it. From the continuously non stop bad weather we have been having lately the rain had finally stopped for the morning. Riding in the rain I can do, riding in the cold I can do but both together I don't really enjoy. So fortunately it was just cold. I continued on, next I thought I would ride up Salvation and th...

Pete Rides: Back into it
http://peterides.blogspot.com/2010/08/back-into-it.html
And runs and does other stuff sometimes). Sunday, August 15, 2010. I recently got back from a work trip to Seoul, this meant I had been off my bike for over 2 weeks. I had visions of hitting the gym while I was away but this never happened. I was working long hours and coupled with the 30 something temperatures and high humidity at the end of my work day, exercise was the last thing on my mind. Hopefully with this weeks effort I should be back into it. My Races for 2010. 7-8th May Moonride 24 Hour Solo.

Pete Rides: PNP Stage 2 - Wainuiomata
http://peterides.blogspot.com/2010/09/pnp-stage-2-wainuiomata.html
And runs and does other stuff sometimes). Monday, September 20, 2010. PNP Stage 2 - Wainuiomata. We had great weather for the 2nd round of the PNP so I decided to take my race bike I couldn't face having to ride up that firebreak on a Singlespeed. If it was going to rain for this race I had decided I would not register as I still hadn't got over my cold. We were all neck and neck, about 4 of us, we weren't in front though, there was a guy further ahead we were chasing. My Races for 2010. 11 September Day...

Pete Rides: 24hr Solo World Champs, Canberra

And runs and does other stuff sometimes). Sunday, October 31, 2010. 24hr Solo World Champs, Canberra. 9th-10th October saw the 24hr Solo World Champs in Canberra, its been 3 weeks since and I figured I better write a race report. The year went pretty quickly, I figured I would head over and compete in the race and not get too serious, I was going to have fun and that I did. I was back on my bike and racing again at 4:30am, I managed to get 4 more laps in finishing the race at 10:30am. I could have go...

Pete Rides: March 2010
http://peterides.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
And runs and does other stuff sometimes). Sunday, March 7, 2010. The biggest group Masters 1 we waited at the start line for the gun to fire and then the rain came down and did it rain! Reviewing the day I can see that my fueling should have been a lot better. I had a poor breakfast which consisted of a bowl of cereal and then come race I hadn't followed plan and stopped for a quick eat. There is always next year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

And runs and does other stuff sometimes). Friday, February 12, 2010. New paint for the Blur LT2. Recently the Blur LT2 received a new paint job, the bike also got new bearings, shock bushes and a shock service. Unfortunately the old white paint pretty much fell off the bike, the new black is a lot stronger and looks great. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
