Get Cranky….
Or Get Lost…
Or Both…

GetCranky is really a bit of a play on words. I genuinely feel my crank meter is probably about right for my age, maybe a bit less. The name really comes from those things on a bike you spin round. And round. And Round. Of which some of us (like me) derive some sort of weird satisfaction about. This site is mostly about riding (well, with some wit and wisdom from yours truly thrown in that ultimately aims to solve all the worlds problems).

I’m not cycling obsessed and I certainly don’t need the most expensive and the latest and greatest and certainly don’t pretend to be the go to person for everything bike related. It is just more my sharing my adventures with a few tips thrown in here and there.

Mountain biking is my main game and am not a great fan of road riding (sorry to those that way inclined). I do love my bike touring though and in recent years have developed much more of an interest in bikepacking. I have completed rides from Brisbane to Sydney and across the South Island of New Zealand (and I will in time get some memories of those trips up onto this site). I plan to keep a blog of my ongoing adventures on this site to share with my family, friends and those of you who chose “I’m Feeling Lucky” on Google and stumbled across it. I hope you find it interesting, enlightening, humorous and who knows, potentially even motivating to pursue your own adventures.

So maybe you too will… get cranky?
