Hi All,

New to this site and just moved down from Brissie; keen to get out with a regular group. Are there any regular weekday and weekend groups to tag along with.

Mainly XC stuff

Cheers,

Andy

I asked a nice question and I got a nice reply.
so excellent.

The map SCA map of Woodford Dam shows Glossop Rd Linden marked in red too.

Sections of Glossip Road fall within the Woodford Special Area that has recently been opened to allow for walking and bicycling access. Access beyond the locked gate is permissible to access Linden Ridge and the associated fire trails. Access to the areas behind the chain wire fence such as the old water treatment plant and the access track to the dam from Glossip Road are still prohibited.

I saw these lights and was wondering what the people who know more have to say about them:

HA-III Cree SSC P7-C: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29489
HA-III SSC P7-C: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25149

Both claim to be 900 lummen and in total it would around 180AU$.

Looking forward to your input.

Thanks

We were up at The Oaks on Satruday morning. Our plan to ride up and back was cut short when CV's front brake failed on the decent down to the watercrossing. The springy thing that holds the brake pads apart had split in two. Epic failure. We were pondering our next steps when a fellow MTB'er came down the road, crossed the creek and stopped. No sooner had he seen the front brake in pieces he offered to help. In fact he flips his bike upside down, pulls off the front wheel and removes the brake pads from his Scott. "Take this one" he says and handed over his 'springy thing'.

I was riding the Dam yesterday evening with two mates and just before climbing up the first lot of steps up towards the Parkway, my front wheel washed out and I bike slammed to the ground onto the rear derailleur, bending my hanger.

I didn’t want to have to walk my bike all the way back home to Queenscliff, so I tried to straighten it by hand. There was no way this was going to work so we pulled the derailleur off the hanger and then the hanger off the bike.

where to go to get the constant grind of some fun exercise without the constant interruption of slight rises ?

Manly Dam would be a real hoot apart from
the lip up just past the school
the grind up the road
the step up to the rock
the step up the semi-impossible rock with the frowned on b-trail to the right
heart break hill
back to the parking lot, another lap >? bah lets watch tv

me, i'd like lots of firetrail like western commission track, a bit up a bit down, sort of Andersons/Oaks WITHOUT Bedford Ck and the Glenbrook down/up

So! this morning I am driving up past Lizard Rock on my way to work and there is a nice truck parked there – a closed in one like food goes in and behind it being unloaded are four men on four yellow trail bikes....I called Frenchs Forest Police who were very nice even though he didn’t know that trail bikes weren’t allowed in Oxford Falls and he told me that its not their jurisdiction but rather the National Parks.

Liz and I have done a bit of riding and always seem to be coming across this horse trail marked as the 'bicentennial trail', marked with a red and yellow striped triangle.

it's actually a great way to get around the outer of canberra, mostly off-road.

Does anyone have any canberra maps of this trail they can link? the national trail website is hopeless.

I've emailed off the SCA at Penright asking about access past the linden observatory on Glossop Rd
this appears to be a nice thick red line on the Woodford Dam map and should ? be allowed with the recent dam access.
(I posted some new pics for approval)

but the gate at the observatory is straight closed, walkers only with no idea as to why or who to contact.
fingers crossed, there is some nice Garmin trails avail to look at, and two ridges, like Warrimoo

This is a request for a Windows Mobile compatible version of this web site!
The standard version does not display well on my Windows Mobile device

Any chance we can get a 'mobile' optimised version of this web site?

FYI I'm using an HTC device running Win Mobile v6.1 or v6.5 and Internet Explorer.

cheers

Damn living in such a small and backward place as Sydney where an MTB park just wouldn't work! </sarcasm>

See the story here:

"Right now, if you want to get out for a race, you’re looking at travelling 20km out of town to Telegraph Point.

Damn! 20km? Yellomundee at 70km away is the closest race track from me (and I'm only couple kays from the city). Or Ourimbah, 85km away.
