I have been talking to my HR office at work to try and get a bike rack in the parking inside the building. So far, it has been over 1 year and we got only 4 emails from the trata manager saying :'NO'.
There are 11 floors, with about 3 companies by floor, and i was told there are another 2 in the building companies also pushing for this.

May be I am becoming too old....

I finished riding Menai around 12 today when one teenager with a full suspension cannondale was waiting by the end of the track. He was wearing thongs, shorts and a tshirt, as if going to the beach or just a ride to the shop.
2 minutes later a mum droped another teenager with another full suspension bike. This guy also wearing appropiate cloth for the beach.

I came across two dudes from Warringah Council this morning (12 December, 9 am) who were removing some of those dangerous extra timber steps on the Allambie side - under the powerlines at the start of the timber track down to the 19th Hole.

A real improvement!

This will be the last Wednesday night ride for me before Christmas and the end of this year, and wanted to put it to the vote on where to ride.

I'm voting for Menai because I completely stripped, cleaned and rebuilt my Enduro yesterday and it feels like a different bike. You never know, I might start to like it soon!!!!

Also I've been riding the park nearly every day just recently so I'm a bit over it.

Announcing MTBSSN - the Mountain Bike Strategy for Sydney North!

This idea was born following from the NPWS Sustainable Cycling and Mountain Biking Workshop with NPWS staff and many cycling organisations from the Sydney North region and further afield.

This site has been created for the user consultation and planning phase of a project that will hopefully become, or add greatly to the overall mountain bike strategy in the region. It isn't just for mountain bike riders, but for anyone with an interest in trails in the region. Even opponents of riding are encouraged to take part in this consultation.

If you do not take part in these discussions then when things start moving, perhaps in a way you don't like, then you (no matter what side of the argument you are on) will have no-one to blame but yourself!

As I'm assuming most people reading here will be riders please take a moment to visit this site and add your ideas that will become part of a 'trails wish-list'. It doesn't matter how crazy, how unlikely your idea is, just get on over and post it up anyway. Of course it would help greatly if when posting you explained why the idea is a good one, from user, community and ecological point of view. Also consider the ease of construction and maintenance and sustainability of the idea (ie. straight down a fall line of a steep hill would be a big no-no: too easy for water to channel and cause errosion).

Hopefully the more ideas the community comes up with, the more likely it is some of those ideas will be found acceptable by all parties involved and some of them make it all the way from planning to acceptance and eventually implementation. Well - that's the dream, let's try and make it happen!

One last note: because the MTBSSN site is built on the same platform as NoBMoB, if you have a login for NoBMoB it will work on MTBSSN so there is no need to re-register to get involved.

Hey everybody im officially on holidays now and wanna get out on the trails, anybody interested? Maybe duckholes or something. Open to suggestions like where and when also very flexible. Once i get a solid idea ill post it on the calender.

Thanks everyone.

Alright, this has probably been chatted about a lot but it is something I have been thinking a lot about recently as I am about to head off on a road trip hitting up over a dozen areas between the Sunshine Coast and Thredbo.

Ok, I lost the magnet from my bike computer "flea" and have had one made up for me by the fitters at work, but the question was just asked of me, "Does the magnet need to have the positive pole out or the negative pole out ?"

I guess I could wait til I got home tonight to try both before I Loctite it in place, but does anyone here know which way ?

Cheers, Toddy

Hi,
we´re going to Australia in January and would like to do some mountainbiking in the Sydney - Blue Mountains area. Are there any good mtb rentals in this area?

Cheers, Sasha and Johan

Heading to Canberra to support/watch a mate compete in the Half Series (http://www.canberrahalf.com/) and would like to hit Sparrow (Pre-Mont 24 Training, 1 of 2) and Stromlo.

Planning for Saturday morning (12th) and Monday (14th) either trail. Anyone interested?

Anybody know if there tend to be many horses on the Perimiter / Long track early morning, between 7-8am?
Thought I might go for a quick blast out and back before work rather than the road option round akuna bay.
Cheers
