What are the Climbs like on the Fling
Hi all,
Doing my first fling this week, just want an idea of what to expect re climbs are we talking the Oaks, Bee Nest or Andos??
More for pacing my efforts
Thanks
trail work
I am just wondering how can I get involved with helping out with track work, is there a committee to contact or do you just show up and when do they take place as I am keen to help and meet people in the mtb community.
Cheers

Forex: Get used to seeing this
Isn't it nice when the USD price is more than the AUD price, eh?
These wheels are pretty tasty too - very tempting
Good weather to tighten your nuts
Watching the rain come down from my garage - hanging for a ride decided to break out the tools for some maintenance - Found my rear suspension link (down near the cranks) was real loose and explains why the rear has been feeling weird, next the front derailleur again loose.
It pays to check your nuts-n-bolts

Rainy Days/ Free Spin classes!
Any of you guys getting sick of the rain and need to get a hit out before the Highland Fling next week should check out the new Spin studio above KOM2 in Crows Nest.
Free classes for this weekend only.
1hr Classes tomorrow are at 9am sharp and 4pm.
Martine and i went for a class this morning and it was perfect training for a rainy day so if you're all fired up for the Fling and feeling the cabin fever on this wet weekend get yourself along and see Joel at Totally CYC'D at the back of KOM2 bike shop, 507 Pacific Hwy, Crows Nest. Entrance in Clarke lane.
St Helena Track
Thinking about giving St helena Track a go tomorrow morning quite early. Either take the train to Wentworth Falls and do the descent or ride up from Glenbrook to the turnoff. I've never done it before but looks like good fun if anyone is interested in tackling it a bit damp. Speed at a reasonable pace - maybe 90mins from Glenbrook to Woodville as a guide. Tired of the rain so going to ignore it.

NoBMoB Weather is back
Ahem... 
Some keyed eyed views had noticed the NoBMoB Weather wasn't quite matching with what's happening outside lately.
This was as the BOM turned off the old Sydney feed and only now have information from the Terrey Hills station in this area and the data grabber/loader needed updating.
All done now, so there you go:
Although please note it will take some time before the new feed 'fills' the 10 day graph and even longer for the others of course.
P.S. Also added Awaba into the list of places monitored
Back Yamma Bigfoot web article now published

Willoughby City Council – Mowbray Park Reserve Action Plan
Thank you for your comments on the Reserve Action Plan for Mowbray Park.
The request for a mountain bike track through the park has been considered, but is not compatible with the main current uses for this reserve, which are environmental education, recreational walking, and the preservation of native plant and animal habitat.
