For everyone who rode today...

I'm going to order some pads from Jenson, Avid Organic:

$19 and shipping for the 20?! or so sets we'll need will be about 2 bucks per set. Don't forget this is USD but the CC should give us 90c-ish forex so still 5 bucks cheaper than Phantom without taking their shipping into account and (sorry boys) loads cheaper than the LBS.

They might even have your funny stoker pads Damien, check and let me know the link if so.

Went for a quick ride at the 2 creeks track (Lyndfield) this morning and bumped into a ranger on the way back. He was on his way there to fine dog walkers but I had a chat with him anyway. He told me that they are going to stop riders from riding the single tracks and some signs will be up soon.....

Disapointing....... its a nice track and its closed to home

Here's some good news... I have been invited to join a focus group discussion on recreation by Warringah council. Seems this will be happening sometime in May.

The invite says:

We would like to invite you to be involved in the discussion on recreation in Warringah's open spaces, parks and reserves.

Council has begun the development of a Recreation Strategy to provide a clear vision and direction regarding the future provision, planning and management of recreation facilities and opportunities here in Warringah.

I've been riding MTB now for over a year and currently use very sharp flats with FiveTen's on all trails. I like to hop and bounce of little lips etc while riding along, I like 'air'. I ride a fair bit of technical single track. My current foot->crank interface involves:

hey folks has any one ridden the dam, this weekend and if so what sort of condition is it in?

I heard from Hornsby Shire Council that in the next few months they will put a news item (or something) on their website that will invite the review of parks management plans in the area. This will have specific things in it about MTB and BMX apparently.

I guess it will be here somewhere: http://www.hornsby.nsw.gov.au/news/index.cfm

Hi there,

Have just started out with a GT avalanche 2.0 recently and been loving some of the trails around Sydney! Have had problems with my back brake recently which saw the caliper replaced. My local bike shop recommended wiping down the discs here and there with Alcohol wipes.

I have two questions:

1: Does anyone do this and is it worth it?
2: Are the wipes I found on ebay below suitable?

Total cost would be $28 including postage, seems OK to me?

If anyone has a baby seat that they no longer use and want to sell, please e-mail me on [email protected] or call me on 0400-368-176. I had ordered one from Cell Bikes but after 2 weeks of waiting they called to say their stockist does not have the MTB ones. I will put it onto an old hardtail with caliper brakes.
