Bathurst Rotary Gravel 2024
This fantastic event is the inaugural Bathurst Rotary Gravel on Sat 11 May 2024 on the grounds of Charles Sturt University Bathurst campus. The course consisted of a tarmac only kids course, a one hour event where riders could do the 10 km course and the main event the #bathurstgravel 2 hour event doing as many laps as they could on the 10 km course. The course had gravel, bitumen tarmac and grass & was quite interesting and demanding. See how many laps I managed !

Ironfest is a fantastic community event with shows, stalls, displays and much more. Genres covered include medieval, science fiction, this year's theme 'Staying Alive 1970s' and of course steampunk where my penny farthing fits in.

Просмотров 122Месяц назад
This ride has me riding from Howards Bridge on the Bridle Track in Bathurst NSW to the Monaghans Bluff detour that was completed in Feb 2023 after the landslide of 2010 cut the route off at the Bluff. I ride my Polygon Syncline C5 & compare it to riding the old Apollo Summit 90s style MTB back in 2020. Get a great look at the Monaghans Bluff bypass in this video. #ecopenny #polygonbikes #polygo...

      Yeah, each obstacle is not compulsory, just hurts your ego if you don't do them all ! Teams can help each other over obstacles if some are short etc. The half course is shorter, 5km & 10km course is longer. Goal is for everyone to have fun, get dirty & try their best 😎

      Check the USB connection to the computer & microphone, maybe try shutting down the computer & rebooting or using another USB port. Should be blue on, then flashing when recording. Check the recording input in the preference settings in your recording software set to USB PnP microphone etc.

    Seriously considering this bike, seems awesome. I think you got the medium size, how is the fit, how tall are you, and do feel comfortable in the cockpit, do you feel a little stretched over the front on very long rides? That's the thing to order online, you can't be sure of how it fits, thanks for your reviews.

    • @ecopennylife
      @ecopennylife Месяц назад

      Thanks for watching, I'm 172 cm high, 62kg, bike fits fine for me, check out Bicycles Online height recommendations on their website, if the fit is really bad there is an option to send back in Australia, email them if you have any concerns ☺️

      @dheath3697 Месяц назад

      @@ecopennylife Thanks for that, looks a good fit for you, and I'm aware of the sizing and 30 day guarantee, but the effective top tube is longer these days than old days which concerns me about modern bikes. You also have long limbs to body ratio, I'm the other way round lol. Love your bike rides, hope to see more 😄
