Grabbing Lunch and Experiencing Highlife - Toowoomba Shuttles
I've been finding myself at Toowoomba quite often in the past few months, whether that's racing, shuttling, jumping or just socially. It's a great bit of country!
At the start of 2024 the lads and I head out for another shuttle session with Frenzy MTB (link below) to explore the recent works by TMTB and Trailworx, including the fantastic new additional to the park - Highlife.
Stay tunes right until the end for a few small announcements!

    It's all pretty good at Gap Creek, but I completely hate that everything is flow now. I *HATE* flow trails. They're a shit to climb, they flatter you into thinking you're a better rider than you are, as they don't feel all that challenging. Conversely, I also hate all the jumps they've added. Us mediocre riders would prefer them not to be there. Bring back tech and chunk. Rant over.

      100% - There does seem to be a shift towards vertical racks in the past few months (at least in Aus) but I feel a hitch rack such as this is still the go for 1-2 bikes. The rack hasn't missed a beat so far and I'm glad I spent the cash on it!

      There was a time when it was on the car full time, which worked pretty well with the custom light/plate bar I have installed. I've now got a bit of extra secure space so I remove it when not in use. It did get a bit annoying with access to the boot, although it might not be as bad for a traditional upwards opening boot door.

    For the price it should have lights on it and plate holder. Lights are an absolute must if you want to use bike covers, because the vehicle's taillights are completely hidden in that case. Almost every vid I've seen on this rack no one mentions that the rear tire straps can be taken out and put back into a different slot, essentially extending their length, in order to accommodate fatter tires.
