Bantry Bay Aboriginal Carvings
I was up at the carvings at Bantry bay today, and was disappointed to find that the whole area has degraded in the six months since I was last there.
There are MotoX tracks, Truck tyre marks, and hundreds of MTB tyre marks all over the rock face, and carvings. People have continued the practice of tracing out the carvings with a rock too.
I also noticed at least 4 riders on the illegal single track behind the rock area in a 45 minute period.
anyone got a spare full fling ticket?
have a friend who missed out on a full fling entry. let me know if you're sick, your bike is busted or you've been a lazy bugger and havn't trained and would like to sell your entry.
thanks,

Australian Cyclist Nov/Dec Issue
Anyone got a copy of this? Manly Dam got a nice write up and Cupcake got himself in it not once but twice!!! Even down to the point where you can see the words "cupcake" written on his bike.
When is the next trail maintenance day on the dam?

PC == Mac
Well - given that a PC is essentially a Mac these days the point is mute.
And by that I mean when they are both running a decent O/S like Linux you can't tell the difference! 
Ourimbah track conditions after rain?
Hi Guys
I'm wanting to go up to Ourimbah this weekend for a look at the course and get some training in for the Fat Tyre Festival coming up. However, having never been there before I was wondering how well it would've coped with this rain we've just had?
Thanks in advance

Whats it worth?
Hi,
I just received a medium 08 Reign 1 frame and shock(RP2)as a warranty replacement on an 06 frame that gave up on me and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea on what it might be worth. Ive had a good look around online but cant find anything out there to guage its value. While I do fit on a medium with a long stem and setback seat I think I might be more comfy on a large so I can shorten up the stem etc. So now I'm thinking that I'll sell the Reign and find something else in large if the $$ difference is acceptable.
Any opinions would be great, thanks.

Tubeless virgin - help!
Tonight I discovered that trying to fit up tubeless with only a track pump isn't going to work for me. The advice I got (and I shall keep the LBS private to protect the guilty) was that it should be fine with a track pump even with non-tubeless kevlar bead tyres so long as I had some Stans in the tyre and used lots of soapy water.
Well, ... no way. Not gonna work with these puppies I got (Larsen 2.0 and Ignitor 2.1 foldables on Crossland rims).
I'm baaaack
To replace the old faithful 04 Stumpy I have picked up (tomorrow) a very nice 07... wait for it....Stumpy!!
Great deal. Owned for a year by a 13yo who cross country raced. Maintained at no expense. Young fella grew out of it...these younguns grow big these days..Think Harry's bike....identical.
Should be very little getting used to it time hey....cant wait to hit the trails.
I'd post a pic but dont know how to insert here.

I actually called around like mad to see who still had stock on the floor to see if I could get the old price... A few had it on the floor but would not sell it at the old price.. $4900 for the 2009 Reign 0. 
Managed to get a hold of Bike Addiction who also said can't do the old price even though they had stock... :\ I said.. cummon! On the website it was still stated at $4295... so eventually they agreed and whammo.. 1 please

Ministerial Complaints
I wrote a basically unchanged version of the below letter earlier this year but didn't post it then. Along came the task force on National Parks and a few other initiatives.
However, the conversation today has prompted me to fish it out and send it off. I also sent a copy to the minister for sport & rec and asked that they help influence the provision of cycling facilities.
