Reading this thread makes me want to move back to SA and turn back time about 10 years!! 😢

Was wondering what is happening still on this thread... Not much over summer it seems with only one page for me to catch up on since I was last on here about 7 months ago!! The weather has been great, anyone been riding? I'm thinking off actually buying property in Rotorua, for short term rentals that should be a good reason to get down there more often!

I'll actually be in Brisbane on 5th Aug, quick business trip (I'm employing someone there at the new Suntory factory in Swanbank).

I have stripped my beloved bike this past weekend and taken the fork, shock and dropper in for a full service. The bearings in the suspension links are done! Going to be good riding again after this, thinking of booking in weekends already with Layla. But I'm going to Japan from 1st Sep - end Nov (business), so will have to put that on hold a bit.

Riding looks a bit different these day than what it did on The Spruit.... 10 points for the 1st one to recognize the old Spruit local

Already 2 weekends ago , but Layla loved the trails at Woodhill. She's not strong enough yet to pedal the little uphills on the trails, but that will come. ....Hugo still doesn't want to know anything about bing on his own bicycle 😢

New bike day in our house yesterday, my daughter turns 6 next month!! And she has now outgrown her little Prevelo completely. She also needed gears and now I am looking forward going proper MTBing with her! Here is her bicycle development since she was 2 years old..

How old are your kids?

How is windsurfing in brisbane?

Should we all do a MTB catch up with a ride and lunch maybe (with families) to light our riding sparks again? Any of you selling a 20" or low stand over 24" bike? my daughter needs an upgrade and I never thought I'll have a Specialized in my house but she has her heart on the Riprocker!!! (Any better suggestions?? Please help me out.. Haha)

Don't worry, just saw your post about the spiders and snakes!!

Is Brisbane a good move for wanting to be active (year around)? I can move there 'tomorrow' from a work perspective of we would have wanted to.

It could be me writing this post! I feel the same and been thinking this so much lately. I want to show my kids how much I use to love it, but it's so damn hard.

How long did your last AUS visitors visa take to be approved? My moms online application has not changed status since the 11th and she went for biometrics on the 13th.

Ah, you don't fall in the Auckland region one, I am at the Auckland Town Hall on the 2nd Oct. I am happy about the venue and it is also a fancy evening doo
