Hey guys anyone keen on riding Jesmond or Ourimbah or Glenrock or somewhere around Newie this weekend?

I'd like to be riding, but if this cold keeps on keeping on, I will just be riding the couch a little longer.

Do both, start at Glenrock do a loop or so then down the bike path past Wests and on to the cycle path to Jesmond.

Nah I have a reign XO, still not great for the road but probably a bit better than a glory lol

Sunny and low wind tomorrow, keen for a shred?

Ooops, sorry I was up there but no shredding was done, more bouncing around like a muppet.

haha all good I chucked the bike in the van and went to ourimbah, sessioned the jumps at the top! Had a blast, can clear both the tabletops and the little double heading into the first one now, not bad for a fat bastard who's only been out on three DH rides Laughing out loud

But the top-out I was getting is getting waaaaaaaay worse, so it looks like she's going into the hospital for a little bit. I'm off to NZ for three weeks soon so will have to look at it when I get back.

off the NZ and not taking MTB with you ...........shock. What other reason do you go there for???

I'm off to play snowboards and cameras in the mountains for three weeks. But the season is so poor I'm tempted to leave the board bag here and take the bike!!

Don't worry, lived in Queenstown for two winters and have plenty of friends there I can crash with, will head over there for some riding before I go to Japan in January
