Just got back from a challenging lap of Appin ( and "Ankle biter " almost got me again) ,with quite some disapointment at the damage that 6 trail bikes have done to this great course . My question is , Are they allowed to be there and if not what is the best way to counter them ? there were six of them so a six motor bike rider V one mountain bike confrontation was not the way to go , specially with their full face helments ......although the passive agressive approach of riding at my pace with three bikes behind was satisfying in a juvenile way ...

Any thoughts , future actions ??

Hi Everyone,

So we have all heard the hype about compression garmets but are they actually worth it? I'd like to know! as im thinking of investing in one.

So here is my breakdown...
I commute 10 times a week for 15kms about 35mins, singlespeed and I HATE being overtaken! So its fairly punishing (for me) when going up the hilles
Longer ride on the weekends for about 2-3 hours and as the fling and Mogo comes up I will be swapping the commutes for a longer one

Questions...
Should I get a chamoix one as well?
Should I get longs ones, which cover the calf or just the shorter ones?

Check the new mountain bike film "Freedom Riders"

It’s a true story of a core group of riders who formed an against-all-odds relationship with the Forest Service and created the first freeride specific trails on public lands in the lower 48. That’s all great and everything, but in watching the trailer, I have to say that it wasn’t the skills on bikes that got my attention, but the hairdos. Check out the forest service lady and the mullet guy. Seriously, are they both wigs? You be the judge.

Have to be in Canberra on Mon 3 Aug and thought of going down on Sun to ride Sparrow Hill - looking to see if anyone else may be there to ride with - Morgan?
