Cascades - NPWS Stupid, Dangerous and Ugly
Rode the Cascades yesterday and was quite shocked at the stupidity of NPWS attempts to keep bikes out.
Next to the gate at the top of the Heath Track are some nice thin steel fence posts just waiting to impale someone. Two posts have white caps on them to be more visible, but there are two more with no caps. To make it worse, some logs have been placed along the side as well. Not only for bikes, but runners/walkers in poor vis could easily trip over these logs and impale themselves on the unmarked fence posts.
Cannondale Rush Frame 3000 - large for sale
Hi,
I have in a weeks time a large natural aluminium finish Cannondale Rush frame (brought from Cranks, size Large , with Fox RP3 shock.
The frame is in immaculate condition as it has been fully wrapped in 3m automotive paint protection film, which is easily peeled off leaving no residue.
This protects all frames aaginst stones, cleats etc.
Thought that I would put in here first before going onto to Ebay.
will take photos and place online also.

I'm not sure if the new full face and chest protection are going to keep me safe or give me stupid confidence!
Hilarious! Who can relate? "The Cycling Widow"
Found this gem...it's hilarious! Who can relate? Most of these things apply for MTB'ers too...

Oaks one way tomorrow
Thinking about doing Oaks one way tomorrow. Does anyone know if river/creek at bottom at Glenbrook is crossable?
Anybody riding today? Around cascades or similar track?
I am keen to go for a ride since the weather is so good. Just got a new bike so looking to break it in. If anybody is heading down to cascades or nearby track this arvo and needs a riding buddy let me know.
Stolen bike
Sad but true.
My garage has been broken into, and 3 bikes were stolen: a KTM 250 EXC-F (a dirt bike, probably not of too much interest for you guys), Krisztina's Giant VT, and my Proceed. The biggest loss is the Proceed, it is a hand-built bike, and I'm not even sure you could find anyone selling the Proceed frames in Australia. I hope whoever stole it crashes in a very painful way.
Dirt Works 100 Entry
Is there anyone who is selling or know of someone who is selling a DW100 or 50km entry?
I am willing to pay price for it. Anybody with information could PM me or reply to this thread that would be great.
Thanks.

EPA patrols target mountain bikes in Samford Forest Reserve
Something bad is happening 
FYI, this reserve is in QLD by the look of it, but the point is we should all try our best to ride legally and not let something similar happen here.
04 Mar 2008
Mountain bike riders who don’t stick to designated trails in parks and reserves and damage the natural environment could face on-the-spot penalties.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s Senior Ranger Justin Lee said trees had been illegally cut down and vegetation cleared to construct a massive jump at Samford Forest Reserve.
Giant OCR 1 Frame/fork headset Size XL 07' model
I Have upgraded my frame to a litespeed so this one is up for grabs.
Colour scheme is White with black detailing and a carbon rear end.
frame: Composite carbon fibre/ALUXX SL alloy blend
fork: Composite blade, 1 1/8th alloy ahead steerer
includes headset and i can throw in a seat post if needed (27.2mm)
It is in great condition, it has been very well looked after.
The frame has had about 1500km of riding in a dry cold winter in dunedin so it hasnt seen much water or bad riding conditions.
It has never been crashed either.
i can send photos if needed.

Camera for MTB riders?
If you're looking for a go anywhere camera for when you're out on the trails, this sounds quiet promising:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0804/08042201ricohg...
A compact, lightweight, water and dust-resistant, wide-angle, 5x zoom digital camera featuring enhanced shock resistance for outdoor use.
Doesn't look like it has a built in lens cover, which is odd, and as Gizmodo put it:
Does a waterproof and dust-proof camera really have to be as fugly as this?
Proposal for Kuringgai Mountain Bike Trail (Wildflower gardens.)
Proposal for Ku-ring-gai Mountain Bike Trail
found this on our local council website - anyone heard of this plan?
PSRRG 75 – Bushland Mountain Bike Trail
"The proposal to construct a mountain bike trail adjacent to the new fire trail at Golden
Jubilee Fields in Wahroonga was discussed, including the application for a NSW Dept of
Sport and Recreation Regional Sports Facility Grant for this project. Frank Freeman raised
a concern that if the trail is constructed, parking spaces will need to be incorporated into
the overall design."
Wednesday night ride?
23rd Apr?
I'd like to ride, but the weather may not permit that to happen..

Another Epic northern beaches ride?
Hi all,
I was thinking of fitting in one last training hit-out before the 50km Dirtworks. So this training ride is intended to be in the vicinity of 50km distance. It isn't really recommended for our newbies. However it is also not intended to be a non-stop effort either. We will be waiting here and there for the train to catch up.
What's say we commence from Narrabeen Lake, then, based on rider preference, proceed to ride about 50km through Oxford Falls, Red Hill, Cascades, Terrey Hills, then back again?
