Super Duper Awesome Manly Dam fun!
I'm riding the dam tomorrow for minimum of 5 hours. I will try to keep my Heart rate under 80% for most of it like i did on Monday.
This will entail the up parts to be done slowly and the rest to be reasonably quick.
I may go round and round and round ( like Monday) or i may shoot off and do pipeline as well.
I will not be using a backpack so will be refilling my bottle at the Lab car park approximately every hour.
All are welcome to join in, tag along, throw tomatoes etc . Average speed will be 16 - 17 km/h approx = 36 minute laps so not fast.
Sunday morning @ Terrey Hills
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills Shops....usual place, in the carpark near to the Fire station.
I'd like to ride Duck holes> then out along west head rd to the Basin> back to either do Bairne or Salavation Track> waratah track> back along centre track. Overall I'm flexible which trails I ride.
I'm looking to do about ??km, or 3.5 hours. Minimal stops along the way.
This is a training ride for the upcoming DirtWorks. (I need to do something)
Looking at a reasonable pace, i.e HR around 140/150.
The Oaks update for 10 Apr
Great condition. Fast and firm even in the sandy patches - great racing line appearing. The single track is getting a little bumpy these days and there were about 4 or 5 puddles down there, but i would assume they are probably a permenant fixture these days.
Despite having a massive stack early on one of the fast corners up top (losing a fair bit of bark and a very sore shoulder), my wife was grining from ear to ear when we finished.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

Suspension seatpost anyone?
Hi all,
I've been thinking of getting a suspension seatpost for my Giant hardtail. Has anyone tried these? Of course i don't expect it to be like a dual suspension but at least soak up enough bumps to make it more comfortable, esp over rocky stuff. I been looking at the Cane Creek Thudbuster Lt or the U.S.E Sumo XCR. Any comments would be helpful.
Red hills spin
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
Anyone ridden Perimeter and Long recently ?
I was thinking of doing Perimeter and Long sometime over the weekend. Does anyone know if it has settled down after recent ' trackwork'
Is it still a soft, sandy drivetrailn killer ?

New fork ??
Have to replace a fork on my Giant Trance X1 2008.
Any suggestions how to go about it? Ordering overseas, perhaps? What should I go for?
Ourimba fun
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Two or three laps, nothing too serious but not pedestrian either
