Its been a long time since I posted here on the Glenrock POM (not sure I have), or really had anything to post. I do now so I have created this thread as a spot for people to ask questions about, or discuss news as it arrives.

The big news is that the Draft POM is being launched on Monday 16th Feb. I will be at the launch and speaking to the politicians on offer, but basically the chance is just about here for everyone to have their say.

Ed: Update 22-Feb: The plan is now out for comment. It can be downloaded here (this page also includes details of how to comment):

I would encourage everyone to submit a comment. It doesn't have to be wordy, even something simple as, "Please adopt the network of MTB trails as I love the sport and this will encourage me to visit the park." will do (although please don't copy that word for word - they weed out duplicates).

While NoBMoB is all about social riding (as displayed by all the jolly fun on Saturday) there seems to be an ever increasing rogue element of really rather good (dare I even say, professional) riders in our midst.

Yesterday at Lisdale NoBMoB seemed to be involved in two first place positions and another two podiums. We even got a shout from the Aussie champ (pictured here on her way to winning Solo vets by a lap) as part of her acceptance speech. The very hastily put together (and named) team 'Beth Beth' (Erm... Beth accompanied by Junkie - yes, she did most laps!) stormed home in first place mixed pairs.

Other podiums were grabbed by three old buggers (Steve01, Dylan & Lord Carlgroover) second in threes masters as Alex, Supagav & Scott scored second in the threes mixed. Reckon that 'mixed' thing might be a misprint on the results?

Awesome work everyone. And all the social riders out there need not be scared - there are now so many of us buggers that someone has to come out smelling of roses sometimes!

I've searched the interwebs for the best "MTB How To" Videos and these are my pickings:

The 1st Bunny Hop one ("How to Bunny Hop Your MTB"), the Wheelie, and PumpTrack videos are very well made. I love the production of the 1st Bunny Hop one. The music is great, he deserves an armature producers award!

Hi,

Brand new to the Forums, essentially I am looking (and have been for a while) for a dual suspension MTB.

Ideally I am looking for a Specialized EPIC or Stumpjumper.

In terms of Sizing, Im 178cm so from what I can gather a Medium/Large would suit. (if you have any input I would love some advice).

I am looking to spend somewhere between 2 - 2500, depending on the year,model and condition. (I would be willing to spend a little more for the right bike).

If you have something like this or know someone who does please let me know.

Warringah Council has pritty much approved most the building of the 500 unit retirement village in oxford falls. At the organic market today the Oxford Falls Action Group was passing out some details on how people can help.

not enjoying this thread..it's freaking me out as now I about to embark on a panic about not doing enough riding - I can't commute to work and have to fit in riding around my other sports... Stuart... can we do the 50 again? that was just FUN!! (just joking!!!!)

Just a heads up for people who maybe using the Epping Rd bike lane. The small manhole covers over electrical cabling have been removed by some fool between Pittwater Rd and Mowbray Rd. Could potentially be very ugly if you put a front wheel in one going down at speed.
