Below are the 2011 Cannondale Weights. These are the European models but it gives you a guide.

A doomed ride @ the Dam.

Hadn't checked so didn't know it was closed till we got to the top - had two mechanicals and got caught in a downpour.

Took my riding glasses off cos couldn't see thru with the rain - and of course fell out of my pocket somewhere along the way.

Reward to finder...

has anyone got a little bit more information on yellomundee...how techy is it? is it a trail i can get lost in? thinking of doing it for the first time to try something new? might post it as a ride ..though it will be newbie pace, as im still a newbie and im still coughing, so who knows how the lungs will hold up but hey! thanks

Although they don't say exactly where they will be burning

I suspect there will be no signs just like at The Dam this morning. So ride safe boys and girls.

World Champ Sam Hill has been confirmed to compete in the 2060 Downhill MTB competition at Newton’s Nation! Reigning from WA, Sam claimed the elusive title in his second race back from major shoulder surgery, proving he cannot be stopped. Sam has taken some time off the bike to get healed and prepare for his best effort yet at Newton’s Nation.

You'd be mad not to be there. and don't forget entries are open to anyone so come along and share the shuttle bus with Sam and others...

come and join us for a morning of good karma by putting back in an effort of goodness at Awaba this sunday-meet at carpark 7:00 to 7:30 carpark.

Just go back from the local bike workshop and I cannot resist sharing the positive experience I've had with them over the years. Every time I'm there the guys in the workshop go above and beyond what can be reasonably expected. No wonder I keep comming back. Absolutely brilliant customer service!

Don't know if Rob will allow a mention of the shop but I do it anyway until it is removed with an editors note

Consistently for many years now Brookvale Bike Factory workshop have given me the best experience ever. Thanks guys!

Cheers,

A little something I've been playing with in my spare(?!) time.

It prints nicely at A4.

The blue is maybe a little dark for prints which I'll sort out at some point.

Also have similar for the whole park but since the POM is signed off we're not meant to be riding these areas....

Hi all, I am upgrading my fork and looking at a RockShox Revelation. The fork has the option of QR or Maxle (20mm) axle configuration. My current fork and wheel are a QR setup and I am wondering whether the extra performance of the Maxle is worth the cost of a new wheel. Anyone out there got any thoughts on the performance of 15mm or 20mm axles vs QR?

Good reminder: First aid treatment on the trail

Great tips in this Bike Radar article:

Just a quick one to say that I thought the Bigfoot was a fun ride & I will be back to do it again next year. I did the 50k, it was fairly flat & scenic but there was plenty of great single track. There was a girl that got t-boned by a roo about 10k's in who didn't look too well. I bet that there's not too many people that could say that they have been taken out like this while out for ride! [hope she's ok] A great, local community effort. Well done guys!

Just checked out Mt Annan for the first time and thought it was a pretty cool track minus the 2 stupid magpies halfway thru the intermediate loop. I'm not from Australia and have never heard of these dang birds so I was very surprised and didn't know what was going on. Almost had a heart attack the first time they swooped as they surprised the hell out of me.
