  • That Dotted Line: It used to mark the limit for us. That ragged line of torn bitumen putting an abrupt end to a beautiful climb. No man's land held no allure for us – its surface an ugly pock-marked rouge overseen by a shot-blasted lichen covered sign shouting “GRAVEL!” We’d even seen the other side - gazing longingly (knowing the exact measure of kilometres and a precise quantity of metres gained) but knowing it was out of our reach. We had traced the twisting Dotted Line on the map – but the conventional coffee shop wisdom was that it was out of reach on 23 millimetres of rubber. So we worked around it. Return routes on shoulders strewn with debris and grey junk kays on monotonous highways. Unfortunately even with circuitous workarounds we still knew that we were missing out. That Dotted Line was so small – yet it prevented so much. Stories filtered in third-hand. We heard of a guy who knew someone that had done it. He did not head the capitalised caveat “GRAVEL!” – instead he skimmed potholes and ascended That Dotted Line. So one day, armed with a battalions equipment and the bolshiness only fear of the unknown can bring, we crossed That Dotted Line. No punctures. Bike intact. Job done. Dirt be damned. Before we even finished the ride, we were excitedly joining the dots on new loops, new routes, new roads – all previously ‘inaccessible’. Exploration, adventure, quiet roads and immersive scenery is where it took us – and takes us. Deeper, and deeper each time. That Dotted Line is a part of our history – and the reason why we want to drag you with us this August. Don’t believe everything you hear over a latte.

  • On the outside, looking back:<br />
<br />
Although we sometimes feel like adventurers, it is always humbling chatting to a local and hearing how trodden the path we take truly is. In looking for an interesting story on the former logging railway at Donna Buang, we found out about something much more interesting..<br />
<br />
Donna Buang in the early 30's was home to a small ski resort, complete with a ski jump. A competition attracting more than 4,000 spectators saw a visiting Norwegian jump more than 60ft. A fire in 1939 took out the majority of the facilities, but a more permanent structure was built - at one point in the 50's attracting international ski jumpers to participate in a competition organised by the Ski Club of Victoria. <br />
<br />
Travelling on bike we get the opportunity to slow down and appreciate things - but sometimes to see the whole picture you need to move backwards.

  • Substance: There is something unique about a rider who has mettle, yet doesn't wear it pinned to his chest. In a sport of front, dominated by flashy bikes and garish personalities it is refreshing to see quiet efficiency in practice. We all know and see these riders, and at the cafe when talk turns to respect - it's them that everyone agrees on. There is a place for understatement in cycling, and we need to make it as big and brash as possible.

  • Watching from above: What would you do if you happened across a bunch of cyclists with Flemish tan lines carrying what look like road bikes through giant mud pits or up steep and slippery inclines? The only thing you can do.....stop and watch the crazy but addictive spectacle that is Cyclocross.
