Time to fight back in traffic...?
Riding thorough heavy city traffic not dangerous enough for you? Try grabbing onto cars for a pull. Still not rough enough?Man, you are sick. Well, you might like this Skitch Aid design concept. It’s like those suction cups you’d use to climb buildings in your imagination, but you use it to grab onto the windows of passing cars to catch a tow downtown. What could possibly go wrong?
Scott Warranty Problems (was Contact details)
GDay,
I am a long time reader of the forum and now a new poster. I was wondering if there was a contact email address to the website?. The reason I ask is I am making a formal complaint to Scott bikes and am wanting to cc as some influential people and sites in on the email to get a point across.
Full stubbie thrown at cyclist's face
Why?
POLICE believe a beer stubbie was full when it was thrown from a passing car and smashed into the face of a cycling Swiss tourist.
...
The 27-year-old tourist, identified as Thomas, lay on the bitumen verge of the Princes Freeway, blood pouring from the split in the flesh beside his nose, knocked senseless by a senseless act.

Just completely unbelievable why anyone would do this.
Training ride at wisemans
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
In prepration for Dirtwirks it is time to do a longer ride. I'm thinking 60 - 70ks depending on how everything goes.
Plan is simple, Go up devines hill, continue along GNR past Claire's bridge until it is time to head back. Go back same way but down Shepherds gully and race back the 8ks of road to the ferry.
This is a training ride so It'll be minimal stops and reasonably decent pace. Heaps of water and food is required. Sometimes there is water to refill at the buddist retreat but I'm not sure one count on it.
JetBlack MTB101
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
This race just outside Nowra has a choice of 3 distances the MTB 25, MTB 50, & the MTB 101.
There is also a Dash for Cash on the 21/3/09
It is laps around a 25km course, so after the first lap you'll be able to hit the corners etc. with more confidence.
See you there 
My new Cascades riding buddy!
This bugger wasn't moving so I carfully walked around his tail.
He was a lazy lazy snake!
Oh my wife calls me that

The Oaks - noob ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook station carpark.
The work colleagues have got their act together and will finally make an appearance!
This will be casual paced and suitable for less experienced or less fit riders who are wanting to "do the oaks". All are welcome of course. We will pace it by the group consensus and regroup as necessary.
It's approx 30Km of mostly fire trail with an excellent single trail at the end and of course a very very testing hill riding out back to the car park.
We catch the train from Glenbrook (8:23) up to Woodford (8:54)and ride back to the carpark. Train ticket is required so bring a few $$$.

More on commuting
I wrote a while back about doing a bit of training on the commute so am following with an update. I've discovered that going over to Cremorne and Mosman is a nice little detour and now the route looks a bit like a tour of the lower north shore. Check it out:
Post Jetblack Maintenence
Post Jetblack Sydney 24 the Yeti needed a bit of TLC.
It got new brake pads front and rear (obviously!) and just hope the front rotor doesn't eat the new set as despite being only 2 laps old had clearly been metal on metal for quiet a lot of that second lap.
BB as removed, cleaned and replaced. Ditto for seatpost clamb. Ditto for skewers (if you can call the front axle a skewer). Everything else just got a good clean.
While we're mentioning these things - the rear brake on the Rush got a bleed and what came out was nasty black fluid. Yerch!
