Bird Report: managed to wave the butcher away during my morning laps this week, but I've been attacked by a maggie on the way to MD on the footpath outside the MIELE building on waringah road a few times now

Do you have more information?

The Miele bird has gotten me a few times as well on the way back from TH. And he's persistent!

Dunno if its the same bird that has a go on the other side of the road opposite the pub. While waiting for the bus I've seen that guy line up cyclists like a Stuka pilot. The timing was exquisite!

Seems I escaped being attacked this morning. Maybe you took all their aggression before I got there!

There's another one up at Allambie on the trail behind the oval. Swooped me on two separate occasions, but at least you know it's coming as it makes a noise.

Yes, the Miele bird is a persistent bugger. I tried going wide through the grass areas, but still got attacked.
Never been attacked riding on the footpath on the other side of Waringah road(city bound) which I did this morning on the way back.

Ahhhh, the life of a mountain biker, if the trail don't get you, the birds will Smiling

Hi all

At short notice a few of us are heading down Saturday to finish off the quagmire works.

There should be another maintenance day before the end of the year. We will post up with plenty of notice and get more people involved.

I went and bought a white body suit so I could ride through the middle of the work when you guys were toiling away and totally ignore all pleas to dismount. Ripped off! you were gone by the time I rode through...Oh well the finishing off looks good. :thumbsup:

For Sale: 1 white lycra body suit, soiled.

Looks just like to the Specialized and as a bonus unlike the Specialized the brand name does not contain a spelling error.
