hi all

im new to this group, i have a scott voltage yzo i was looking at the pictures of people riding and they have rear suspension and the whole set up going, and i was wondering if many people ride with hard tail bikes. im still learning but i love riding, every trail i see or hear about i end up doing it. im based in the hornsby area so i have done most the trails around there

im fit but im afaid if i go on one of the meets i will slow the other riders down and what is the general age of the groups, im only 16

thanks all

scott

P.S yes i know i have the same name as my bike.

Just wanted to introduce myself Im Roger a very very newbie.

Im an inner city dweller who has just re-discovered cycling and the joys of youth long since past.
At the encouragement of an old acquaintance I went riding 2 weeks ago and I loved it. Being focused (some people call it obsessive) I immediately started looking to buy a bike. I wanted something good, but not over the top and Giant seemed to be the bike of the masses so I bought one.

This is interesting:

Based on a series of test rides, this map shows the distance a healthy person can cycle within half an hour, to or from Sydney's city centre. If you live in the "no excuse zone" and work in the CBD, try cycling to work a few days a week and enjoy the benefits.

Think I might have to print this out and stick it up in our office

Do you think this rider is clipped in? Would you be?

I will be spending a week over Christmas in Narooma, not far from the Mogo forrests. Does anyone know of an MTB club that rides in the area that I can contact to hook up for a ride. Also, will any Nobmobbers be down that way over the week?

Exressions of interest for a CRC order.
Some time in the next week or so, hoping dollar gets up a bit.
Let me know

===================================

Happiness is a wide bike path.

If your going to do the odd race can you sign up for the Rec. Membership or do I need the Senior Membership?

Also is it worth it or should I just pay the one off $15 per event if I'm only going to do 4 or 5 races?

Cheers
Chris

Saw a link to this on Farkin.

It confirms what a lot of us already thought. It would seem that more of us are probably riding Giants than you would suspect.
