    Nice pictures, and good to see an older bike still kicking proverbial bottom!

    Yup, I live in Canberra. It is the home of Mt Stromlo where the World MTB Champs were held last year (I was up there on Saturday arv hitting the singletrack on the old girl).

    The trip pics are from Mt Rob Roy which is a 15 km loop behind my suburb with a crapload of climbing included.

    The other pics are from a ride I did last year in Kozuiszko NP on the Pilot Wilderness section. Camped in an old mining hut & by the river in a two nighter. Twas awesome, we had some Brumbies give us a fighting display in the morning.

    I will buy another bike one day but for the meantine this old girl does the job.
