The RBWR – or Richmond Bakery Wednesday Ride – is a Tassie institution. This weekly bunch ride is technically advertised as “no drop” ride, but if you want to hang with the fast guns, then it’s more like “no drop as long as you can grit your teeth and mash the pedals.” That’s fine with…

The #Velo7173 Chain Gang: A powerhouse of PB performances
Following the success of the first #Velo7173 Chain Gang I was really looking forward to this week’s hit out.
