With a cycling buddy, I drove 900km to the small town of Glen Innes for a gravel ride in the Northern Tablelands in a region of northern New South Wales called New England.

I've never been here before and, to be honest, it's a lot like the Southern Highlands which is much closer. It's also very British with lots of Scottish and Welsh references.

The ride was organised by Goodness Gravel and was a much smaller and more personal ride than the Classic series.

We completed the 75km ride in good time and good spirits, despite some strong and relentless headwinds.

We've got a few more days here and are planning some riding/exploring tomorrow.

By the way I'm monetizing my hobbies again

After work , I went out riding.
Yes! On a weekday! I give myself points for that.

Of course, the glorious goal was dinner-breakfast.

I ran into the Big Boys doing their Thursday ride around their usual morning #exercise route.

"Evelyn! You alone? Come along. We're having #breakfast at [the buffet* place]."

Sure!

A simple, proper breakfast for just 185 pesos. Well, it's free coz 1 guy generously paid for everybody. Yeah, I went for seconds. #bikes #cycling #food

Good ol’ Sooty was hanging with friends this morning.

Bike's front tire needs the sealant replaced

OK. Really falling out of love with carbon on bikes.

This is an Enve Gravel fork steerer after 10000km. The Hope headset bearings (which I do count as consumables) have officially outlived the fork.

Just glad I did an inspection.With the bearings being fine still, I could have gone on riding on this.

Das wird spannend für die Radbranche. Vorerst vorrangig für die USA. Vielleicht für Europa sogar eher positiv. Mal schauen.

Our politicians keep telling us what we want or don't want, but when it comes down to it, most people know that cities need to be more green.

Good for you, Hobart, following similar recent stories in Paris and Vancouver.
