You gotta love long weekends!

I do like the long weekends...I do like them a lot! There was this 4 days long weekend with an absolutely cracker weather, so I got the single speed beast out of The Shed and managed to get 2 proper savage MTB spins in! 

Here's what happened:

95 km, 4 hours and 45 minutes and 1100m elevation gain

Yep, it was a good weekend alright! It's nice to be able to sneak out for a bike ride more than once a week! ;)

Another cool cabin on my training route :)

Cool little cabin

What day is it?! It's MTB Saturday!!

The Shed Project // The log bike rack is ready

Here is the latest "upgrade" at The Shed. I picked up a massive 120 kg log at the local lumber yard (well, they actually got it delivered to my house) to create a useful and natural looking rack that will help when I wash the bike and it will also be handy in front of the building just to seat down a bit. 

So, lets see the project step-by-step:

A nice piece of wood

Measure it twice, cut it once

Chainsaw...perfect for the job

Need to cut deep enough though

The unit is ready

Nice & simple

Holds the rear wheel on the left side and the cut off end will be handy to hold the cleaning stuff

Yep, just the was I planned it! :) 

Operation Stem Slam // Inverted 17 degrees

I just finished my latest project in The Shed a few minutes ago. I have been searching for a -17 degrees stem for a while and luckily I managed to get my hands on this lovely piece recently. It is not a very common size the least to say, so I am pretty damn happy to see this beauty on the bike. 

Nice & low... just the way I like it :)

So, I fired up the good 'aul woodburner and put on some savage metal music. Oh, and got the stem fitted on the Niner without wasting a single minute!! :) 

Looks the business alright and I can't wait to go for a test ride with the new setup. I'm not sure when that's gonna happen but I'm sure I'll love the agressive low front! 

Celebrating a huge milestone today!

This post is my 500th post since I started to write this blog. It is a big milestone but what is even bigger is the fact that the blog has reached the 200,000 pageviews! 

I'm truly amazed to get this far with the whole blogger game I have to say. :) And I would like to say a massive thank you to all of you who keep reading this blog, to everyone who left nice comments and to all the people from around the world who are visiting the page. Thank you, I appreciate it!!
