Flinders Ranges By Bike
Last month, I was lucky enough to take a few friends on a trip to the the Flinders Ranges in SA. A mate and I took our mtb's and rode most of the Flinders Ranges By Bike (FRBB) loop. Here's how it went....
Registration
Sella Ronda
Planning next years euro trip and it seems like I'll be able to get some time in the Dolomites late july and it is time to lock in some places.
I think I'll be able to get one day dedicated to MTB and after a little bit of googling it seems like the thing to do is Sella Ronda.
A couple of questions to anyone who has done it.
1) Is Sella Ronda the thing to do or are there more scenic / better tracks in the Dolomites
2) As I understand it, it is a guided tour going up in gondolas and down on two wheels - right?
Yep, he's good!
Check this out for skills, I thought Red Hill was scary...

Riding with your mates
Had a heap of fun today today riding with an old mate and a new one.
Bit of hike a bike and assorted stuff ... not too far from home.
And how good was the weather???
Wasn't exactly text book training for the Fling next week but.... So what 
Organised ride liability
I recently read an article where 2 mates were riding together on road bikes when one of them hits an object on the road causing him to crash into his mate, the mate suffers a back injury etc. seeks legal advise and sues his mate for negligence, the case goes to court and the Judge rules in his favour awarding the injured mate $1.7m...which brings me to my hyperthetical question.....If I intend to ride say the Oaks trail and put a post up here inviting for others to join me and during the ride someone hits a waterbar goes OTB's breaks their neck am I liable ?
Stans Rim tape width
Hi Guys
I have a set of bead hookless carbon TLR rims I'm looking to build up into some race wheels. I'm just wondering what width tape is recommended for an internal width of 22mm? By the time the channel is taken into account, the perfect fit tape width between goes up to 23mm, but the tape is only available in 21mm and 25mm widths.
Thanks for your advice
