Velominatus: asyax
Order: Winner of the Velominati Super Prestige Paris-Roubaix
Location: Darlington, Western Australia
I have been on bikes since a young tacker, and enjoy all things cycling. Whilst preferring to ascend (and descend) the slopes of Mount Velomis by the tree rooted, rock strewn goat tracks, I adopted the n+1 principle and bought myself a nice roadie - I am now spending about half my time on this. Whilst not having raced as a young bloke, I enjoy entering events (road and MTB) for the cameraderie and banter, and seeing how well I can place. Am a much better swimmer than I'll ever be a cyclist, but I acquit myself OK. Still not Rule 33 compliant though!

Hi Frank, I got Pinot in correct 4th spot – 7 points??? Would be Top 10 ??? Don’t envy your role as adjudicator here! »

Had a small showing for Festum Prophetae Perth (Western Australia – not Scotland or Washington) on Sunday – myself and Tinman. Cold crisp Perth morning. Headed out of the city to the hills – going well and enjoying the sunshine and zero wind – first big d… »

@frank Thanks for attaching the photo. Yours is a very classy rig – should have said that earlier. Did you have any say on the setup of the headtube angle – comparing the photos, mine is much steeper (but the frame is a 58), and the tyre clearance much… »
@frank See if this works then! »
My new Graveur – pretty stock at moment, but still shreds bridle trails. The Velominati got me into the world of CX and gravel(road) bikes . Much more fun on gravel/ fire roads than my 29er. I get the same question – how many bikes do you own ….”Well…… »

To all WA Velominati – I know you’re out there!
What be better way to celebrate The Prophet’s birthday than riding with a bunch of like minded souls through the diversity Perth has to offer. As we near the winter solstice , this is perhaps the most Flandrian Perth can get!
Starting at the Narrows on our beloved Swan River we’ll head out to the Hills through JFNP, Mundaring Weir and the Bickley Valley, down the sweeping decent of Canning Mills, through deepest, darkest Kenwick to swing on to the Shelley loop back to the Narrows. We can then recount the days exploits at the Belgian Beer Cafe, drink a toast to Eddie and all avow to be on KT2014!
Let’s make it happen!

@G’rilla Getting swooped by magpies in Oz pales into insignificance with getting swooped by that lil’ beasty. Chapeau to him for staying on line whilst that thing is after him…. However can you wrangle up a bald eagle? »

@frank A few year back I did a group charity ride – 1000km’s over 5.5 days at ave 30 kmph – about 36 riders. My most memorable moment from that ride was the sound of the collective wheels – a dull roar really – no one talking, just “silently suffering… »

This book does not appear in The Works, however it is a cracking read – well written and some of the stories are laugh out loud. Talk about machiavellian scheming and hard bastards…. Recommend it during the add breaks or whilst staying up waiting for … »

@Rob I am currently running a standard crank – 53/39, and prefer to run 23-11 on the back. This suits me if doing a lot of riding on the flats. However, on my “winter” wheels I have fitted a 28-11, and I also use these if doing rides whicjh involve a fai… »

@Al__S Just need some baby Rapha kit to go with that – sweeet! »
@Mikael Liddy Winter! – I thought I would be able to cover the wookie legs up with tights. Oh, the shame! Merckz is obviously all knowing and sees through such a cheap trick! »
