Scumming is dangerous... mmmmkay.

Case in point... the final kilometres of a stage of the tour of turkey. One dirty b@start grabs the yellow jersey and shoves him off his bike (this clip is available in HQ direct on YT):

From: http://bikehugger.com/2009/04/how-to-commit-atte... where there's a couple of stills and more commentary.

Due to knee injury I'm putting my entry at cost price for sale.

Please message me if interested and I'll organise the transfer with Dirtworks asap via email.

I'm assuming the dam is still closed and at best very wet still. Thought I might try and explore closer to home round Lane Cove National Park. Anybody know where best to access these and which tracks I should be looking out for? How wet will it be?

Hey all new Adventure Activity Standards are slowly being introduced around the country. Now is NSWs turn

These standards do have the potential to effect Mountain bike clubs and groups. While they are "voluntary guide lines" if something was to go wrong on a ride you had organised and those guide lines hadn't been met weren't followed you could be in the poo

While our advice is it wont effect racing it will effect social rides and guided tours type stuff and so could have some impact on sites like this promoting social rides.

Drop over to the YT site to get this in HQ.

This is interesting... I have been contacted by an environment consultancy asking for suggestions or recommendations for a proposed Oxford Falls Regional Crown Reserve POM.

From what I can see the land they are talking about encompasses parts both Oxford Falls and Red Hill. But don't get excited, only small parts of Crown Land in both are covered.

Anyhow, if anyone has anything they think is worth saying in response please let me know.

Or if you'd like to help that would be good too.

Hi, Does anyone know if the derailleur on a 2007 Giant Trance is a Top Swing??

I've just updated the calendar and related date modules. Think the calendar looks a little bit nicer but there's not much difference.

When entering dates & times the two parts are now in different boxes (date first of course). I think it's pretty obvious, but then again am a geek

Shout out if you see any funnies with how dates are working. These are only used on Hot Laps and Ride Meetings of course.

Can anyone comment on the Dual Slalom race that was put on by Rocky Trail Entertainment in March ?

Looking to ride/race this weekend but can't do the 4x do to shoulder and big jumps and not fit enough at the moment to do a full XC race.

Was it fun/good racing?

Hi all,

Been riding for a little over 6 months and I have put my name up for the 50K's in the Dirt works race.

Question is - how hard or 'technical' is the 50ks? I am used to riding Manly Dam - struggle in a couple of spots (Steps mainly) and come off pretty much everywhere on the track.

Just starting to panic that I have bitten off a little more than I can chew!!

Cheers
