A quick shout out to the Bicycle Centre Phillip: http://www.bikeshed.com.au/ They've done some work for me on my mountain bike recently and I'm very happy with the results.

Might want to check them out if you're looking for, what so far seems to be, a decent mechanic on the South side of Canberra.

Hey everybody!
Just moved up the mountains.
From Lithgow so use to riding state mine & pony club. Looking for tracks from Katoomba - Penrith looking for tracks of similar grade.
Don't mind if it's push up or fire trail entry.
Vids & directions would be great.
Thanks Sam

Hi everyone,

I am an aerial videographer and I am developing a new way to shoot action sports such as mountain bike riding. I am looking for people in the Sydney and / or Blue Mountains area who would be willing to volunteer their time to be filmed by drone. As thanks, you would get to keep copies of the footage for your own use. It would probably take about a 3 hours or so on a weekend and would simply involve you riding some accessible trails at a convenient location while I film using a drone. We will also conduct appropriate safety briefings beforehand and discuss various logistics.

Dwellingup 100 is about to happen again.

I am fundraising for Muscular Dystrophy WA the event charity.
This will be my ninth D100 and fourth or fifth year (lost track)fundraising.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Through my business Oakley Australia have donated a pair of sunglasses and a spectacle frame. These are on offer at a discounted price and proceeds go to my fundraising.

Many thanks Peter Campbell, Eyewise Optical 94081555

I'd like to thank all the commentators on the question I asked and I think the outcomes were pretty clear, which I've trapped here. It looks like the end maybe nigh for the fling (see below):
1. Too Expensive (or not enough value)
2. Too many alternative races and places to ride
3. Not enough promotion particularly to younger age groups
4. Not family orientated enough
5. Making a state based series might get some interest back.

So the primary suggestions to the rider are:
1. Dont sweat and go to club races
2. Plan to ride away with friends

Firstly thanks to the person who found, then handed in to the corner shop at Terrey Hills, my phone yesterday - it had fell out of my jersey pocket along Long trail. Good Karma heading your way!

When I picked up my phone the guy also had a key for a Mitsubishi - I thought it may have been mine as I drive one but alas it wasn't (spare key was at home).

So...if anyone has lost a key along Perimeter / Long trail recently let me know!

Got this ride on the to-do list.

CX friendly or take the mountain bike? Got 40mm tubeless tyres and 32t on the back of the CX.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Cheers, Adam

Not sure who has been up to Bright but this beautiful town probably has some of the best mountain and road biking in Australia. The Bright Brewery is sponsoring a charity event in September (www.alfred6hour.org.au) which will be hosted by the Alpine Cycling Club.
