This month I was lucky enough to join the FulGaz crew in South Australia for a block of epic riding in the Adelaide Hills. It’s always a blast riding in Adelaide. Apart from when the mercury blows past 40 deg C (105F) I really do love riding there. It has got to be one of…

The last day of Summer
We’ve all noticed it. That gradual transition.

The weekly hammer fest that is the…

The mornings have started to develop a slight chill and the keen eye would have noticed shadows growing longer earlier in the evenings. Those long, warm summer nights are…
