Exploring the Blue Mountains on a Mountain Bike

When it's not pouring (cause that's what summer in Sydney does now), I managed to spend a few hours over a weekend few weeks ago exploring an old favourite track of mine. 

 

Just a few photos of the day. Enjoy

Video of the week - Specialized signs Mike Montgomery

Here is a guy who has some great talent and his video is fantastic. Could easily be one of the best I've seen in 2012 yet.

More importantly Mike talks about his falls as well. He reminded me of one of my favourite quotes from Batman Begins. 

Alfred: Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up. 

His video shows that even the Pros fall from time to time, and that it takes a lot of practice and dedication to reach your goals. He's going for the championship this year, good luck to him. I'm currently more focused than ever in my own goals. They're a lot more simplier than Mike's, but we share the same lesson from Alfreds wise words. We all have our ups and downs, but I'm not going to give up. I will reach my own goals. Enjoy the vid and stay focused!

Video of the week - Just Don't Look Down!

Someone built this wonderful trail on the edge of a steep cliff. Whilst I think it was for walking, these three lads decided to take their bikes out for a cruise. These guys have balls!
