Carbon Fibre Paint Job Carbon Epoxy Primer
Very important part of the process, without this layer of Epoxy primer, primers fillers/surfaces, colours (basecoat) won't stick to the carbon fibre.
Carbon Fibre Paint Preparation
Original paint rubbed off with p600 grit sandpaper. The idea is to remove the original paint, scratches, and lower the paint levels for the new layers. Only the clear coat, black, orange and white is required.
Ranger response to manly Dam feedback
It seems like Council has to some extent taken on board the feedback we've given them regarding recent "improvements" to Manly Dam trail.
I rode the descent to the Hydraulics Lab on Saturday for the first time since my OTB last March ( 
), and noticed some changes since I walked it about a month or two ago.
1: The section of trail near Allambie Heights Public School that runs into 19th Hole appears to have had two of the awkwardly spaced logs we complained about removed, and I had no trouble negotiating it.

Kiwarrak State Forest update for 24 Jan
I had a great ride here today, its dry and a bit dusty but that means it great for riding.
There is heaps of single track head off in all directions that is begging to be explored. I found some of the sweetest single track sections I have ever ridden, the Taree trail fairies deserve a pat on the back. There are sign posts up with names of trails but no indication of which way your suppose to go, which is not too much of a problem for most trails as you can ride either way. Its well worth the visit to Kiwarrak State Forest as a stopover when heading north or for a weekend.
