Merida X-Fusion 6Hr Enduro
Our good friend Duncan at DIY MTB / X-Fusion has put together a six hour enduro. The race will be run on one of the sweet 'SCUM' xc tracks near Nowra. It is flowing single track with just enough fire trail added in to aid passing. It will probably follow a simillar format to the WWS. Deb and I have signed up and are looking forward to it.
Here is a link to the website. http://www.diymtb.com.au/6hour/
If someone could help me post it in the Ride Calendar / Race pages it would be appreciated.

Baiting & Trolls
Listen up people... I'm sure everyone is getting quiet sick of some of the name calling going on on a couple of heated threads in the forum.
Debate is good. Name calling and tit-for-tat bickering is not. If you want to do that stick to email or bugger off to where all the other kiddies hang out.
If you do not add value to a conversation expect that your posts will be deleted.
Just move along. Point taken?
P.S. There is no need for a whole bunch of 'Sorry, but...' replies here, and you can guess what will happen to any crying that is posted on this particular thread too!
Appin Social Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Corner Burke & Market St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Having never been to the Appin XC course before, I need to get some practice in before the WWS 8hr on the 21st.
I expect to do 2 laps, stop on the way have some fun on some of the trickier stuff if people want and then after a break at the cars, go out and do 1 or 2 more laps.
Edit: been moved to Saturday due to Wollongong MTB Club XC race on Sunday
"After work" ride, 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 Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
I'm in Newcastle early for work!!! and on the way home will stop at one of our favourite XC loop!!..... maybe even on a nice 29er, YES on the N-1 29er!!! ** anyone thinking about it, please sms me in the morning, as I will not be online tomorrow. **
Bike rack fine!
Copped a $327 fine for "Obscuring number plates" for our tow bar bike rack.
Now we genuinely had no frickin clue about the requirement for special bike plates but the size of the fine is pretty harsh.
Legally speaking, pleading ignorance is far from an excuse, but has anyone been successful in getting off these sorts of fines?
The size of the fine is a little harsh I felt. If it ranged something similar to not having P plates on or something to that effect, where it used to be around $80 - $120...fair enough. Quite happy to take it on the chin and lesson learnt but shit! $327!!
