The Mistress
I was out riding "Daisy Dukes" yesterday and at the last corner where the track turns off to the reserve behind the houses of Penrose Pl and there was a new trail "The Mistress" a descending track. It was really good with nice corners and still not quite worn back ending up back at the bottom of "Daisy Dukes". Does anybody know when this trail was made. It is a nice track if you can you should ride it.
Have fun

Not very nice. Lots of standing water. Mud and torn up tracks from mottos.

Trail Question, looking for this cool track
Hey just wondering if anyone can help here, I've seen this cool video on you tube for a northern beach track. I cannot recognize it, is anyone able to help pin point the location or name the track ?

Singleton MTB track update for 30 Jun
Dry with the odd bog section. More cow dung than mud hazards actually.

Lunch time training
My training time is limited - ie if I can get 1 ride a weekend I am a happy camper. Getting out on the MTB or even the road mid week is also heavily restricted at the moment, so I am left with lunch time at work.
I am pretty lucky that there is a gym, pool and a bush track near where I work.
So - to help with fitness is it better to
a. run
b. swim
c. weights at the gym
d. spin bike (but the gym doesn't have a proper one but more of an upright sitting bike)
Any thoughts? obviously you cant do the same each day, but is running helpful for MTB fitness?

GPS - Garmin 510, 810 or are there other options
I've been looking around on the web, but haven't really found any recent forums or reviews of GPS devices for mountain biking. So was hoping someone here could chip in with their experience.
Garmin seems to be the place to start. In their range it seems to be either the 510 or the 810 that are the most likely options.
Talking about Garmin, have anyone tried the vivoactive for mountain biking?
Which other options would you consider? If any?

First Podium!
First podium for me, thanks to Adam and my bro for a great effort and consistantish times.
5 laps of (according to Strava) sufferfest round some of Wingello's finest singletrack.
Great organization, great trails and great people, anyone who's not done a S.M.S. race is missing out, get yourself entered for a cracking days riding.
Video: 365 Days of Reign - all the trails I've ridden in my 3rd year on a serious MTB
June signaled the end of my 3rd year on a serious mountain bike - 2012 Giant Reign 1. This is a video of all the trails I rode in the past 12 months - man there were a lot of them.
This was the first time in 4 years I didn't make it to QLD for a ride but instead I made two trips to Victoria (You Yangs and Mt Buller). I went to plenty of places for the first time including a number of locations in the Hunter Valley and ACT plus the obligatory trip to Rotorua.
I hope you enjoy.
Respect for the environment our trails pass through
In case you hadn't seen Please! Stop riding Bantry Bay Engravings Trail: The selfish few threatening new trails... well... a gentle reminder of it's message:
It takes literally years to negotiate authorised access to trails in and around Sydney. When people don't respect the land trails pass by and deviate from them it jeopardises access for all. Both now, and in future projects.
Please respect the areas we have the privilege to be able to ride in and stick to formed, authorised trails only.
Thank you
