I'm no mountain biking pro, but these kind of pedals go good:

Jesus. Sorry for the stupid size. I have these pedals and your feet don't slip, plus you're not locked in. Nice pedals!

Nice, just had a look and not too bad on the wallet either. Last mountain bike I had was a GT 10 years ago, looking forward to getting out in it.

What headphones do you guys use while training? I use Jaybird X4 and they're great in all areas except max volume. The issue not confined to that set. Not sure if it's the more careful/litigious age we live in now and/or age decline on my part but I don't find headphones as loud as they once were. I had a pair of Blue Ant wireless buds prior to the Jaybird (my toddler son destroyed them) and they were great. Much louder than anything I've tested since.

If anyone has a current set of wireless buds they use and are blown away by I'd love to know what they are.

Jabra Elite series. Have been using them for a few years now and they're brilliant.

I'm very lucky to have access to a small gym with decent weights but there's a tonne of stuff I'd like to get back to at my regular.

Oops. I won't be going for any auditor jobs soon. I searched Twitter for 'Melbourne gyms' after hearing they were staying closed and that Michael Rowland tweet appeared below what looked like a leaked list of restrictions advising outdoor exercise only. Searched again and just now and latest is gyms are opening with restrictions.

Yeah it looks like the "science" on gyms being high-risk locations suddenly changed in Victoria after relentless pressure and hard numbers from the Vic fitness industry.

Funny how that works.
