I have exported the route created on bikely and tried to load it in my Edge 305 but I am having dificulties. Has anyone loaded routes from bikely before or am I doing something wrong. To load to the GPS unit I am using the Motionbased Agent but it says something like invalid file.

PS. If someone has the Edge 305 and could test it using the below link that would be great

i see there are about 36 of us going to the mont, SO! i was wondering, who is on whose team and what are your team names? And! When are you sending your first person down to set up camp?
thank you!

my Nike sunglasses fell out of my jersey pocket going down the Heath track from Ralston Avenue yesterday morning at about 7.30am . Went back later but couldnt find them. If anyone found them let me know. Cheers Nick

Last week, at the end of a ride, I noticed a broken spoke on my rear wheel. I was unable to get to my usual bike shop so I put it in for repair at a well know bike shop asking them to check the wheel and tighten up any other spokes needing adjustment. Picked it up midweek but didnt inspect the work and went for a ride yesterday starting at Duckholes track. I was 10 minutes into the ride when disaster struck; i elected to change gear from middle to large ring which was followed by alarming noises.

Hi guys. Looks like I'm off the bike for at least a month. I spent an entertaining evening in Manly hospital's A&E last night after doing a digger just past the Manly Dam trail's 19th Hole, dislocating my left shoulder.

The frustrating thing is it was a bit of trail I've ridden dozens of times that's hardly what you'd call technical. I got a bit off line, ran over a rock, dropped the wheel down the other side and - bang - over I went. Landed hard on the back of the left shoulder with a sickening crunch. I'm thinking maybe I tensed up and inadvertently grabbed some front brake.

Was looking for some longer rides without driving hours to get there and last weekend did a link of red hill and oxford falls. Started at red hill, down to the parkway just before the meat works and then up to morgan road, the slippery dip trail through gutter and back to red hill via the lake ( longer way via the parkway/narrabeen bridge ), was about 30K or so with a fair bit of uphill.. thinking of doing the same again this Sunday morning.

Anyone else up for a longer local ride ( rather than just laps of X ) and have any alternate ideas for linking up local trails?

cheers

A Manly Dam 24hr or 8hr race.

Camping on the rugby field next to the golf club entrance.
NoBMoB members run/organise the Event.
All profits go to a local charity.
Bring in the local rotary club or scouts for direction help ??
Mail box drop to all the locals that back onto the track advising of upcoming event.
The bowling club could stay open and serve drinks and offer the use of their toilets and showers.
Two start times 1, elite 2, average (you know who you are)
Local Council will love the non climate change impact the race will have.

Anyone up for a ride of Lucas Heights this coming Sunday?

Hey everyone , just a thought. Perhaps we should write up a new manly challenge. Fastest time for 2 continuous laps.
After all...anyone can ride fast for half an hour

Anyone else getting anything from Hammer Nutrition?

I am getting a jar of Perpetuem, but if the total order is over $150, then free freight.

Please PM me if anyone needs anything.

I was reading a document (not sure where) about the ammount of bicycle commuters have "incidents" with vehicles etc on Sydney streets and it said that many were unreported.
I know alot on this forum commute to work and i expect that many people have as many near misses with vehicles as i do.

So perhaps others would like to create a record whenever they have a near miss, hit or something whilst on their bikes (scumming, mtb - whatever)
This "record" could later be used for lobbying etc (maybe - I'm not sure)
A little detail perhaps would help.

I'll start off:-
