im new to this group, i have a scott voltage yzo i was looking at the pictures of people riding and they have rear suspension and the whole set up going, and i was wondering if many people ride with hard tail bikes. im still learning but i love riding, every trail i see or hear about i end up doing it. im based in the hornsby area so i have done most the trails around there
im fit but im afaid if i go on one of the meets i will slow the other riders down and what is the general age of the groups, im only 16

Newbie saying Hi
Just wanted to introduce myself Im Roger a very very newbie.
Im an inner city dweller who has just re-discovered cycling and the joys of youth long since past.
At the encouragement of an old acquaintance I went riding 2 weeks ago and I loved it. Being focused (some people call it obsessive) I immediately started looking to buy a bike. I wanted something good, but not over the top and Giant seemed to be the bike of the masses so I bought one.
My first website
Hey guys I've been building a website about my riding etc.
Could you just check it out see what you think.
Thanks,
No Excuse!
This is interesting:
http://www.noexcusezone.com.au/noexcuse_australi...
Based on a series of test rides, this map shows the distance a healthy person can cycle within half an hour, to or from Sydney's city centre. If you live in the "no excuse zone" and work in the CBD, try cycling to work a few days a week and enjoy the benefits.
Think I might have to print this out and stick it up in our office 
Dropoff Training 2008?
Anyone interested in throwing themselves off rock ledges like Pikey's jump training day back in 2007?
.JPG "Liam on the bigger drop")
Theres a nice rock outcrop at a field in Belrose with a nice soft grass landing. That way I don't hurt myself too much when I inevitably fall off
We could even then go and do the Cascades Technical DH afterwards?
I was thinking on the weekend Dec 6-7?

Hey all - please vote on the "What age are you?" poll ASAP
Hi all,
It would be useful to know what age groups NobMob members and guests are in because we can use this information on current and future advocacy presentations. If you can't see the poll on the home page, use this link - http://nobmob.com/node/7027
However it's only going to mean anything with a large number of participants.
The only information collected is your vote.
Cheers!
Endurance racing pill poppers?
On my 100km race events I find my mind and body shutting down around the last 20km's.
It wasn't until I found a packet of "No Dose" on the track of the 08 Fling that I now wonder what people are popping to get them through the event. I think I eat well (thanks to Junkie) and would like to know what legal pills, potions and lotions you are all taking to help you get through. (Drinking alcohol the night before, I’m sure doesn’t help)
My race day diet consists of:
1. A Bacon and egg roll and an energize milk drink for breakfast.
