Can you provide your height details etc. and maybe the reach of the bikes you have come from? Interested to hear your take and how much longer this is than your daily rig.

I am curious but not convinced on the massive reaches on some of these bikes.

Whats troubling is how interestingly it all went down when one takes a step back. For half a week reports of arson and people being charged with offense's circulate and then within the span of 16 hours roughly "its all" disproven and shit like the last few pages happens. So there's that trouble and then the trouble of those who blindly believe the disproof. So really, it's all the same and no reason to get that bent out of shape about.

If arson was involved in some, most or all of these fires doesn't really matter. Has the the percentage of fires attributed to arson ramped up over the past 10, 20 years? Why are these fire's so bad? Are the arsonists just getting really good at setting fires? Or are the conditions just making their f'ed up thrills easier.

Find me a report that covers that and then there is something to talk about.  Arson has always played a huge role in Australia's bush fires, to the point where that is typically what is presumed by the public.

Arson wankers have always started way too many of the fires. I've not heard any reports suggesting that the firebugs have increased drastically in numbers.

The two big ones where I grew up were presumed to be from lightning strikes and a tree falling on a power line. Both during dry thunder storms that often come with the heat waves.

So they get fires and floods all the time and they expect to be constantly bailed out rather than MOVE TO A PLACE THAT DOESN'T GET FIRES AND FLOODS.  Got it.

They get fires like this every week!  For the last 4,389 years!  Come on sheeple, wake up!

I think there is a term coined for this already... Climate refugee? 

Bushfires are a part of Australian summers for sure but these are particularly bad, started in September, and are effecting multiple regions at once. Even 2013 was limited to a couple of zones.

That study is so flawed I don't even know where to begin...

The riders achieved the same intensity but on average the duration was 12 minutes shorter. So they did not get the same workout at all....

They should have compared the same duration of effort. Both 2 hour rides, similar wattage; how much further do you need to go to achieve the same amount of exercise...

One of these days the Ferrari guys will learn how to launch a car...

They should both go back to driving school. First rule as team mates; don't crash into each other.

I am yet to see an angle that looks anything other than 100% Seb's fault. Sure Leclerc could have left more room but he left enough. Vettel has done this a bunch of times before and somehow seems to get away with it...

Awesome Race though. Gutted for Albon but great to see a Honda 1-2.

How far do bears roam? I presume further than say the distance from GSM, which is closed to Boogie which is not...

Happy Leclerc won also. Happy to see something other than merc out in front. Happy that he beat Vettel....

Albon had a good first race with REdbull also. Nothing fancy but quietly worked his way through the pack. 17th to 5th is a solid effort. Not a massive fan of Verstappen so if he can get up to pace quickly I could start cheering for Redbull again. Renault don't seem to be all that promising so while Danny Ric is my guy its tough to support them while they are playing dodgem cars mid pack..

Hey you kids, leave my jank alone.....

I was disappointed to see Lower Digger get paved, but I totally accept that is the new norm. But Upper Digger is great the way it is, there are a few people that keep it running (on the DL).

If you don't like Upper Digger, then ride something else, there are so few trails left with that kind of tech on Fromme, it needs to be preserved.

Rode grannies to upper digger the other week. Forgot how fun those trails are. There is flow to be found on these trails for sure. They 100% should be left as is.. The steeps are still really challenging and it makes me laugh what we used to ride them on...

pfft. Rotating earth....

The earth is flat and the fact that BC forest fire smoke does not spread across the "northern hemisphere" in 24 hrs proves this.

Tonight there's police with assault weapons checking out the hiking trails on Seymour...

There actually was a lot of armed cops on the darkside last night. Reports of a dude with a gun. Turned out to be a pellet gun according to the face-space...
