Menai Single Track
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Lucas Heights Community School, 132 Old Illawarra Road. Barden Ridge
The ride will be predominantly single track at a medium pace. It will take in some technical climbs, technical descents. flowing single track and a visit to both of the "North Shore" areas. The free ride areas consist of just about everything from small drops and gaps to large drops and gaps and of course some great berms. We will have a couple of runs at the two different areas and then move onto more single track. This ride is probably best suited to riders who have an intermediate skill level.

Off to Appin again
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.
Will be heading down to Appin again this Saturday for 2 - 3 laps. Will be there about 8.30am but may be a little late if I encounter any traffic. If any one fancies joining me let me know, I'll be glad of the company.
Will most likely be taking the singlespeed hardtail out so it won't be fast laps but I'm aiming to do a reasonable pace.
UPDATE: Time now updated to 8.30am as 8.16 seemed a bit to fussy. Not sure what happened there.
Cheers

Why shouting is better than a bell
So... I'm riding off the bridge and down to Hickson Rd this morning when some muppet doesn't see me at corner of Kent & Argyle.
A quick yell to attract his attention sees a stalled car and coffee in his lap. Nice 
Show me a bell that works that well... and without moving your hands either! 
10mm bolt through rear
I have just ordered the 10mm bolt through conversion for my Hope Pro II hub from CRC.
Unfortunately, CRC did not have any 10mm bolts in stock and i am too imptaient to wait.
Any suggestions on 10mm bolts, what types, where to get them.
i'd love the DT Swiss ratchety one, but the finance director will have my head if i spend too much.
PS: 2007 Kona Coilair, 135m hub spacing. Hope ProII hubs

I've just got my bike back after having to have the rear break rebuilt. Haven't been out in 2 weeks.

Red Hill (not the DH)
