Hot Laps.. any purpose?
Could someone please explain to me the actual purpose of a hot lap? I really, simply don’t get it...is it for training purposes? ego so that people think you are quick? or for self enjoyment/satisfaction?
I find this a funny sport - first of all you have to 'get round' and once you conquer all the bits you used to walk or find hard it then seems you are supposed to ride it as fast as possible...and if you are too slow then clearly you are a 'crap rider' even if you can ride the whole lot - its odd
general site enquiry
im wondering if i can add new hotlap times on tracks that are not in the hotlap list.
also can people add/update tracks on google maps
More use of avatars
In case anyone has missed it, you might notice I've turned on the user pictures in comments and posts. Just a bit of fun but adds some colour to the pages and easier to relate who's posted by a glance at the avatar on the right then trying to look for the name (you know - "Good with faces, no good with names" concept).
Anyhow, so everyone will get the 'Guest Rider' icon unless they upload a nice image. Up to 480x480px images are good as the site will resize for you. This size is good, because a larger version is shown on your profile compared to that shown by your posts.
Trail status updates feed
After some nice comments and the continuing good use of the trail status updates have added an RSS feed for them. Add it to your feed reader here:

Permission denied?
Hi there. Just wondering if someone might be able to explain why I'm getting "Access denied... Sorry, but the page you are trying to view is not publicly available." messages when going to certain threads, most notably from the "Latest comments" section on the main page. An example is this link here... I can't get to it : http://nobmob.com/node/10612#comment-37160 This is not the first time this has happened and yes, i am making sure I'm logged in first.... so I don't know what's happening.
red hill

Classifieds Section - Tickets Wanted/For Sale
There has been heaps of forum posts for tickets in the angry doctor and highland fling wanted and for sale lately. I was thinking the classified section would be a better place for these rather than the forums. Perhaps people could start putting them there in future.
What do you think?

Track or Trail
Just a little note. I've noticed that a lot of our TRACKS are actually being called trails. With all due respect to our American friends, this term is American and doesn't really sit quite right. Do you ever hear Kokoda trail, or Birdsville trail, or the Oodnadatta trail. Not likely.
'Track' is as Aussie as Vegemite and I think we need to use it more often. Am I being pedantic? I hope not. What do you think???
