Does anyone know if Red Hill is still open? I was hoping to get up there this weekend but a friend told me that it was closed the last time he went.

Accept the risks and be self sufficient or don't mountain bike

Big thumbs up from me.

Hey guys, this is a crosspost from Newcastle/Hunter but I like to ride at Ourimbah so thought I'd add it here as well..

I've been overseas for a while but I'm coming back to Newcastle from Tuesday and will be keen to get back into riding... hit me up, I live out near Fletcher but can transport the bike so happy to drive. If anyone is shuttling Ourimbah that would be sick, I'm a bit slow on some of the rocky sections but will try not to hold you up too much

I've made a last minute call to head down to Kowen/Sparrow tomorrow and I really have no idea what I'm in for.

What are your favourite trails and or loops?

I will be on my XC Dually, but I don't mind a bit of fast flowing descending.

So with the end of daylight saving time to start thinking whether I can get my fix after the sun goes down. I'm into AM riding, preferring trails with some help from gravity. Any tips on what lights would be required, helmet mounted or bike mounted or both? Any recommendations? Thanks dudes

Just a heads up - some scumbag tried to pinch my teenage sons trance from bike racks at warringah mall located under the car park ramp near the bus bay (near bing lee). Not the best place to park a bike I know, and he won't be parking it there again - no cameras or passerbys.

Whilst it was a week or so ago just wanted to put it out there.

The scumbags had cut half way thru his bike lock - a good quality plastic coated multi strand cable. I suspect they must have been watching cause he was only gone 15 minutes.

Reported to mall security but I doubt anything will be done.

Hi folks,
After many years avoiding the wind trainer this weather has forced me to dig out the old trusty machine. Unfortunately it's well past its used by date so I'm considering a new one.
All reviews say the Kurt Kinetic is the best but at $500 I'll pass. T7 have a Force Fluid on special - delivered for $213. Anyone used it and care to post their opinions?
FYI I happy to just use the roadie (save the mtb tyres) and prefer as quiet as possible.
Thanks

I just got a reverb dropper post and there is a little bit of sideways twist movement between the internal and external posts. It's not much maybe about 0.5mm side to side at the saddle nose, but it's enough to notice when ridding. Wondering if this is normal? Or if anyone has had the same issue?

Hi All,

I lost my rear flasher this morning somewhere on Manly Dam or maybe on the honeycomb track linking dreamtime firetrail to seaforth oval. It is/was a Smart lunar R2 light, and from memory had non-rechargeable energizer batteries inside...

If anyone happens to find it please PM me or post up on here so i can make arrangements (hopefully) to collect.

Thanks in advance.

This guy sounds like he might have been a mountain biker, judging by the reference to protective gear

Then a few hours later a French tourist is hit nearby by another car

The first sounds extremely serious. Hope he makes it.

I've been riding Bendigo for a few days now and it's great, more good single track around here than you can poke a stick at.
