Love you idea here http://nobmob.com/node/5082#comment-15726 Alex.

So here's what I'm thinking.

They clearly don't want us on the bush trails, lets show them what happens when we have to ride on the road.

Hello all,

If anyone is making an order to T7 this week, can you please let me know? There is a cheap item that I want that doesn't justify the $9 mail cost by itself.

Thank you in advance.

This seems a bit appropriate given last weeks events:

Update: Entry in ride calendar here.

Below is some spiel from the Canberra outfit, but just as relevant here:

The Ride of Silence is held yearly in cities across the world. Riders are encouraged to wear armbands: black for everyone, or red for those who have been injured by motorists.

The Ride of Silence aims to:

- remember those killed or injured whilst cycling on roads.
- raise awareness of the need for all road users to respect one another and to use roads in a considerate manner.
- promote the importance for cyclists and motorists to obey the road rules.
- remind the community that cyclists are ordinary people who have a right to safety on our roads.

I was at the Dam today and went over the Bantry Bay. There is now a no bikes sign at the start of the singletrack. It also has a little comment about it being a Aboriginal site.

Is this new? It's been a fair few weeks since I been there.

Unfortunately I still saw plenty of bikes riding out of there who obviously ignored the signs.

Hey guys,
I went for a road pedal today Sat 10th may and someone has left a front wheel (a decently nice one).
So i picked it up and have kinda hidden it nearby

if its yours and you can describe it to me.
call me on 0416_418_463
And i will tell you where it is.

cheers
Jason

All,

Willoughby Council is planning a mini bicycle festival (two films and some shorts) for Bike Week this year (Sept). They are currently investigating venues and day of the week. They obviously want it to be a success and are asking for input to their planning so that it will be successful.

I apologise for the non-MTB content, but some of you (you know who you are - not you Liam!)train on the road and can probably give me some good advice on buying a second hand road bike. It's going to be a little brother for my mountain bike...

First of all, does anyone know what FELT bikes are like? I saw a second hand one (see link). What do you think?

What components do I need to watch out for (i.e. what not to buy).

Thanks
Anke

Did you see the news about the southern cross drive this morning?

http://www.smh.com.au/news/beijing2008/angry-dri...

Its why my run into mascot was somewhat disrupted...

Mate there are some impatient fu%#ers out there! And at 6:30am.... as if there is much traffic then anyway... on a 3 lane highway... plenty of room to pass!

GRRRR..

This is why I'm scared of road riding :\

So, with the memories of finishing the weekend's race still fresh (albeit the 50km in 3:15) and the memories of the pain fading, I was thinking about another endurance type event, and the Noosa Enduro (http://www.usmevents.com.au/enduro/index.html) seems to hit the spot. With 8 training weeks to go, was even considering the 100km....

Has anyone done this event in the past? How does it compare to the Dirtworks or common Sydney rides? Would really appreciate any advice / info etc before my enthusiasm gets the better of me and I push that confirm button...

Thanks,
Tom.
