Planning a Mt Buller excursion with the fam + friends to Mt Buller over Easter. Some initial googling to find places to stay points me to a place called Mansfield but it is 35ks from Buller but that seems excessively far away. Are there better options?

Looking for something reasonably civilised that has a roof, walls and some form of device to keep the beers cold.

Would appreciate advise from Buller riders who knows the area.

Also climate, been to Thredbo in December and that was colder than what I thought, is end of March "safe" or is it getting a bit late in the season?

Cheers,

Hi All,

The purpose of this post is to provide a heads up on a little pest I encountered on Saturday afternoon, somewhere around Bantry Bay or the track behind the nursing home that runs onto Allambie Oval.

When visiting the bathroom post ride I found one of these guys with its head burrowed into my upper thigh under my trail shorts.

Strava have a cool animation of all your rides in 2015. Go to 2015.strava.com to make yours.

Have fun in 2016!

I went for a ride in Lake Parramatta and found a number of signs saying that the land is not public and belongs to King's school. Does anyone know if Seville reserve with the maze of good quality single tracks also below to them of if it is perfectly legal to ride them ?
Cheers

Upgraded my dropper post to a 150mm reverb stealth.

First ride today, worked fine until almost at the end, it wouldn't come back up. Even pulling did nothing.

Had a look tonight, and managed to pull it out by hand with a little force, but now it won't go down.
I've tried the following:

Bled the remote
Bled the entire system
Topped up the air
Let all the air out
And generally checked over everything I can think of, still no joy.

The system bled fine, and the remote had a reasonable amount of pressure to it.

Any ideas?

Hi All,

I have a Garmin 510, its software is all up to date BUT.....it is no longer recognizing segments that I ride. It used to, but for some reason it has stopped. When I finish a ride where I know I have passed through segments that either I have created or others have it says "no segments were crossed".

Any ideas or help????

Once again it's that time of year where we will all (well, mostly all) have time to get out on the trails and enjoy whatever form of riding it is we love.

Big shout out to all those who showed up to the Xmas ride recently and made it what sounds like a big success. And thanks to the other Rob for organising. Don't forget anyone can post up their social rides in the calendar for more of the same.

More thanks go to Tristan for his insightful post about the morning. Very good points for all those who have forgotten about the true meaning of Xmas... erm... I mean MTB

So, whatever your plans this holiday season, wishing you happy trails. Enjoy & stay safe.

Cheers

Hi all,

If you have't seen Duncan Gay's latest bright idea read here.

What's the impact for MTB though? Many of us ride on public roads to get to trails or connect rails together. I don;t think any of us would ever head out on on MTB ride without a helmet so that should;t be a problem.

What about pure fire trail rides though... or even events that use management trail?

Came face to face with a brown snake, crossing the trail at the kids playground before Cootamundra drive. Keep your eye out!

Anyone have any recommendations for a good, large, travel bag to take a mountain bike overseas?

Even better, Anyone got one to sell or rent at the end of Jan?
