New to Sydney
Hi, just arrived in Sydney and looking for trails to ride and hopefully meet some people to ride with!
Currently in Manly but Ive got a van so can travel.
I know the weathers pants at the mo so theres not a great deal of riding to be had but Im always up for joining in inspecting/clearing trails or just going for a pedal along the cycle paths!
Im here on holiday so any day of the week works for me!
where to ride within a few hours drive of Sydney
Hi all,
With the cancelation of the Convict and having already booked myself a long weekend off work im itching to get out for a decent ride this weekend but question is... where?? Not sure how much other regions have coped this horrible weather recently, I don't mind a bit of a drive so long as there is some decent rideable km's i.e not underwater or litered with downed tree's. Was wondering how places like Wingello are currently and even as far as Orange? I'm keen to hear from you
early morning rides around Manly Dam
So ive been struggling to get any time to go ridding these days between work and the family so am considering going out before the kids are up. I have done a few laps around manly dam before in the dark, but not really keen on been out there solo before the sun has come up. Is there anyone that would be interested in joining me for a lap. If there is enough interest i will put up a ride on the calander. When do people find the time to go ridding or do you just get a leave pass on the weekend ?
What a difference a week makes...
Some times things that start out crap can end beautifully.
Last weekend my bike got nicked.... Silver Yeti SB95. I was seriously pi$$ed off. Ive had it for a couple of years and still got a thrill every time I rode it. At some point on every ride, I'd subconsciously find my self saying quietly ' I Love My Bike...' It made me feel like a much better rider than i actually am.
Rain Rain go away!!
Is there going to be anywhere dry enough this weekend. I know I'm not the only one asking so wonder if there are any trail wizards who may suggest where to go.
Hope this wasn't an April Fools joke
Pretty poor taste on Volvo's part if it was but given the date it was published I am sceptical.

MTBA / CA Insurance - What exactly are we covered for ?
After some recent bad luck with injuries to some of the SXC Racing boys, and hearing Craig's (Fatboy) delimna's at the recent Willo, i thought I would do a bit of research into what the MTBA / CA Insurance actually covers us for.
I am glad I did, and the short answer is not much - but I thought i would share the basics of the policy

There are other components that can be found in the PDS but I thought I would call out these couple of key items that are relevant to most of us.
Is 27.5+ the new big thing
2016 seems to have a new thing in the 27.5+ category, what is your opinion the future or just another fad .....
What make’s a good event ?
After having a great day out at the Willo last weekend, travelling home, my mate and I started discussing – What really make’s a good event ?
I thought this would also make a good forum topic. With the competition out there amongst the various event promoters and with MTB event attendances reducing, our feedback may provide the opportunity for our event promoters to incorporate some of our comments into upcoming / future events.
To start things off, here are a number of aspects that in my opinion contribute to a good event ?
1. Atmosphere / Environment
