Battle Royale in the Red Centre
And three become two...or so it could transpire as Jason English fell away in today’s Stage Five 22km time trial, leaving yellow jersey rider Andy Blair, along with Aiden Lefmann, to put the pedal down for a face-off battle up front.

Western Sydney Parklands - Plan of Management Released
Ive yet to read it, but here you go. Hope there is some good news for Mountain Biking.
You are receiving this email as you have expressed an interest in being updated on the Western Sydney Parklands Plan of Management.
The Parklands 10 year Plan of Management was adopted by the Minister for Western Sydney on 25 January 2011.
Over 840 people participated in the public engagement activities conducted during the exhibition of the draft Plan last year.
like a slip!!!
just changed cassette & chain today(both XT) but when on first ride it seemed like a slip of the chain when pedalling in middle ring(mainly the 2&3 gears) & from when pushing hard on left crank!!!-is the middle ring too worn?
What can I say?
Haven't ridden much in Glenrock over the last month or so and today (after seeing the photos that have been posted up) snuck off for a quick lap to see some of the new bits people have been raving about. Unbelievable the amount of work that's gone into some of the bits I haven't ridden that long ago and I'd like to add my thanks to all those that have worked so hard to get the access and then build these amazing trails.
Is 3 Ring Circus same course as middle of the Fling?
Is the Circus course essentially the same trails as the middle section of the Highland Fling?
Thanks
Ian
Broke my baby....
...and it wasn't even a big hit! Just one of the water bars ay the dam.
Turns out the Rocky isn't as strong as I thought it was...
I'm going to self medicate with Coopers. 
Suggest me a good loop at glenrock.
Ok, so with the plan of management in action, a good part of my current loop has officially become unavailable and I need to branch out.
My old loop was normally
- Jumping the gun through twistys, then back up lower JTG
- Baileys across to BJ's
- Back up shit happens then down BJ's again.
- Down the easement then the firetrail to snakes and ladders.
- Up snakes and ladders then down the rutted ugly trail to the picnic table
- Fire road again, going up upper world cup if it was a short ride, continuing down across the creek otherwise
New Enduro at Port Macquaire
http://www.blackheartevents.com.au/port-mac-mtb/...
Track designed by Jason English.
Mixture of single and fire trail, with a few climbs. There are some great trails in this area.
single track ride fest
wanting to do a couple of rides at two different, but nearby locations in sydneys southwest,was thinking of starting with "the kessel run" at south Camden fully enclosed singletrack smooth and flowing along the edge of the Nepean river,in my opinion one of the best bits of track sydney has to offer!from there back in the cars and head over to the back of campbelltown and ride the more rocky and technical trails on the Georges river,would start out on the "Bendy trail" then work our way along single track to the "rock trail"then downhill track and return along creek track

Lost: CO2 head at Manly Dam
Hi Guys
I know it's a long shot but did anyone find a yellow CO2 head Thursday two weeks ago around the Dam? I just realised today (when I got a flat of course) that it must have fallen out of my tool container when the lid came off a couple of weeks ago
cheers

Wouldn't something like this be nice Somewhere around your neck of the woods
Refer to the code of conduct ... particularly the clean your bike and spread the word items
http://www.otesports.com.au/trails.htm
Also listen to the interview at about 10.30s ... what inspired leadership ... World class destination with Adventure Tourism as a prime draw card.
Diffused Income both direct and indirect and they don't even have world heritage listing to draw upon

Tathra SMH article...
Good for advocacy??
I throw in the question marks because these days, its hard to know what is good and bad news in trail talk...
Ban on Helmet Cams at State Races
as per
http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?2...
"The Chief Commissar has just advised that helmet cams will not be permitted in qualifying/seeding or race runs at the Ourimbah State DH round this weekend."
We at NSWMTB believe that the UCI ruling on Helmet Cams not being permissible in Qualifying or Race runs is clearly aimed at protecting media rights at World Cup races.
Looking for a Giant Reign 1 for under $1k?
I'm pretty sure about once a month a forum thread goes along the lines of "... I'm think about buying a bike, should I ..." followed by followed by the original poster then saying "I can't afford a $2k/$3k/$4k etc bike"
Looks like someone has you in mind, with an apparently 'brand new' Giant Reign 1 going for under $1k on Gumtree: http://nsw.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff-for-Sale-sport...

New book

Looks like it might have some good detail for those that don't have a gps device and don't want to take their laptops riding with them...
Seaforth Dirt Jumps (aka. the Grove) to open soon - Demo riders required!
Does anyone know about an area of Dirt Jumps at Seaforth that the council (yes... the council!) have been building?
Apparently there will be an official opening of this facility next week. It seems the press might be there and think the council might appreciate a couple of advanced DJ riders turning up and showing off.
Any takers? Anyone heard any other info?
Edit: Ahhh... same area. See: Grove Opening Soon
