Bell's line to Wolgan Valley
Morning all,
Planning on a camping and climbing trip to the wolgan valley some time soon. Driving up from Sydney I thought it might be possible to jump out of the car with the bike somewhere near the zig zag railway on the Bell's line and ride down to the Wolgan Valley camp area and meet the guys in the car there.
Two things to clarify...
I was riding at Terrey Hills on the weekend and was pretty much keeping to the left of the fire trail...came round the bend as was nearly taken out by another rider on the same side of the track as me. Is there an unwritten protocol here for us?
Hey slackers.. Update trail status
So every time I ride I see heaps of people out and about.... But the trail Status for Manly Dam was 1 week old and Cascades 3 weeks old.
Come on guys... If you ride the trail update the status....
Why do I get punctures?
Out at Manly Dam today and got a nasty puncture on the rear tire. Double snake bite... Lucky I had just got a pump and repair kit...also had some co2 canister which made getting up to pressure easier.

As the subject sais, i am currently looking at a Dualie, however as i am a big guy 6'7" there are no bikes around that fit me off the "shelf"

Clipless Pedals
Had a good ride at Faulconbridge Point, Rid out and back twice. Only fell over 4 times. Twice at home in the driveway and twice at the trail. First time I have used clipless pedals, I got the Shimano caged SPD. I guess only repetition will make it second nature to twist rather than lift.
How many times did you fall over when you first tryed clipless? Do you still fall over?

No on-course water at Back Yamma Bigfoot
I put in an email to the organisers asking where the water stops would be, and got the following response. Haven't done a 50km before so not sure if this is an issue:
I hope this doesn't throw a spanner in the works, but we won't have any
water on the course. The only water stop will be at the event centre for
those doing the 100km. We are trying to minimize costs. However, if we
receive enough requests for additional water stops we'll look into
including another one next year. The course is pretty fast and not too
