Ayrton Senna The Lid

Ayrton Senna da Silva (March 21st 1960 - May 1st 1994) was a  Brazilian racing driver and triple Formula 1 World Champion.

"And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."

Manly Dam Mountain Bike ride

Yesterday went for my first official ride on my new MTB technology,3hrs lapping the Dam. Thanks to Paul for the accompaniment and advice. Manly Dam is one of Sydney's best rides -from beginner to intermediate and even advanced, all enjoy this ride. You'll experience a tight and testy track that winds it's way up and down steep rocky tracks. This ride has some magnificent views of the dam and the ocean. You will be transported within minutes into the wilds of Seaforth, and begin to imagine that Sydney has left you behind. Then gasp in awe at the beauty of the coastline. Huff and puff your way up the steep 4WD track to Allambie.

Mountain bike

Picked myself up a new 2007 Reign 0 mountain bike this week to get me back in the saddle and take the fitness to the next level. Really happy to be back on a bike again, especially one as trick as this.  Since I last rode a bike things have moved on somewhat. Suspension being the major difference. A smattering of carbon fibre and titanium along with a very light alloy frame.

One website has the following to say on it...  If I could just have one bike…. Climb with ease, descend with a grin!  reduced weight and increased pedalling efficiency via careful parts selection. Fox handles front and rear suspension duties with the new Fox 32 Float RLC front fork and RP23 rear shock ensuring tune-ability for any situation. Add SRAM X0/X9 shift components, new Mavic Crossmax SX wheelset and finishing kit from Raceface, SDG and Hutchinson.
