#FTSIGR – F This Shit I'm Going Riding!
🗓️ Friday, July 18, 2025
“Comfort zones are speed limits – You know you have to break them.”
1. Where We’ll Be Unbound
This weekend, we’re either lining up for pain at the NSW CX State Series in St Ives (bring your mud legs), or chasing big loops and bigger climbs around Wisemans Ferry as prep for Mary’s Mayhem.
Either way – skinsuits or gravel shoes – it’s time to go full send.
2. Where We Were Unbound
Robbie’s hit the equator for sweat, spice, and smoother-than-silk tarmac.
He’s dodging durians and dodgy taxi drivers in Singapore, and chasing endless loops of rainforest roads and waterfront rollers.
“The descents are dreamy. The food is ridiculous. And the locals? Absolute kings of kindness.”
— Robbie Allen

4. 🎧 DJ Robbie’s Track of the Week
Cruisin' Dinner Beats – A Soundtrack for the Soft-Footed & Smooth-Poured
Drop the needle. Sit back. This week’s playlist is serving up sly, sultry lounge vibrations courtesy of Dusty's crate of vintage goodies.
Expect café reggae, soul jazz, downtempo hip hop, and sun-drenched Balearic grooves — perfect for golden hour or a slow-cooked supper.
5. 🔥 Blaze Says
“Your legs don’t care if you feel like riding.
They only care if you did.
So shut up, clip in, and don’t give them a choice.”
— Charlie Blaze McRae
6. Bike Czech Tips and Tricks
🛠️ MABR-X™ Ceramic Bearings – The Quiet Weapon

Once you roll on them, you’ll never go back.
7. #FTSIGR Moment
“Watched Robbie’s Singapore video, got jealous, then hit three laps of Bobbin Head just to sweat like him.
Didn't quite hit 34° and 98% humidity, but I did bonk at the kiosk.
FTSIGR, baby.”
