NORCO Shore 3 Mountain Bike - FOR SALE
Hey all,
I am regretfully selling my Norco Shore 3 as I don't ride it much anymore, this bike is great off road & performs really well on downhill tracks.
It is a 2006 model, I bought it brand new at the end of last year.
Here is a link to the ebay sales page:

Calling all tall riders
Im 6ft 2 " tall and fed up getting different information from shops in what size frame I should get.
I tried out a LARGE Cannnondale Rush and it felt quite short and was assured at the time that I needed a large and not extra large.
I would like to know if anyone who is the same height as me what bike they ride and what frame size. In particular Specialized, Cannondale, Yeti, Santa Cruz and Giant.
Any other advise, tips etc would be greatfully received.
Thanks
Soapbox
Not an accusation but just an observation as someone who likes horses, aren’t the fire trails in Terry hills and especially Cascades nice and firm without the horse prints.
I am defiantly NOT saying that there should not be any horses because the trails are there for everyone to enjoy, but just an observation to those rangers and National parks to say that MTB's are not the worst thing ever especially in the Kosciusko National Park.
I will get of my soapbox now…..
I regularily do a ride from (Lane Cove)
I regularily do a ride from Cheltenham up to Thornleigh on back streets, down the Comenarra parkway then right onto browns road. About 50 metres down browns road is a sign on the left saying kuringai national park. Follow the single trail for a few hundred metres and down some stairs and your on the firetrail. Turn left and after a sweet downhill run you come out onto the end of beltana place. Head to the right down another firetrail for more downhill and then past some old stables.
leave only your tracks behind
Hi all just got back from a wicked Ox falls shuttle run then down to Deep creek early spring morning before the heat awesome except for one small thing , has anyone noticed how much rubbish is being left up at the trailhead ? Redbull cans Gatoraid bottles energy bar rappers etc etc , It cant just be a small group that is doing this , there is just too much crap left up there.
Its not bad enough for the residence to be confronted with bad parking and large groups of riders every weekend but all this rubbish sucks.
Big BBQ Day @ Ourimbah *changed to 20th oct.
After a chat with a few of the guys, we thought of having a big day at Ourimbah, shuttling heaps of runs, doing some xc stuff and having a BBQ in the middle to refuel 
So i emailed Alan at CCOMTB to check if this was okies, and just heard back no probs as long as hes invited hehe..
So thinking for next sat 6th Oct *changing to 21st oct, as everyone has stuff on next sat! starting at say 9:30/10...
I will need to know whos keen and exactly how many so i can organise food (i am a chef so thats kinda handy, and i can get meat etc. through work, and we can sort it out on the day)
Email Address Change
Hiya All,
Just a quick note to those that have been emailing me at my work email address. This is no longer my work email address as I no longer work there.
Please use the email address in my profile.

I had my valedictory dinner last night down at acer arena so we stayed close by and couldn't resist getting up early to go check out what they had on offer. Great place for an early AM muck around.
Making progress with it.

Anyone up for a ride next wednesday afternoon 3 October 2007?
I would be keen for someone to show me a new track around sydney but am not overly fussed.
Nothing way too technical because I don't want to break any bones before the 24 hour race in three weeks.
Cheers

Monday at Ourimbah?
Just back from a weeks holiday (in Perth without the bike ;-{) so looking to make the most of the long weekend with a decent outing on Monday. How does Ourimbah at 10-ish sound for a bit of XC and DH? If there's enough interest I'll post up a ride meet.
Ta,
Matt.
Visiting George?
Hello!
If anyone is intending on visiting George apart from making a time with him for when he is home, please can you NOT visit if you have just been bike riding in either Terrey Hills, Duffy's Forest, Cascades or Oxford Falls - the horse flu is now in all of those areas and I really don't want to risk someone bringing it in. Apparently it lives on people and items - tyres etc from 48 - 72 hours so the horse site is telling us...
Most of you know I have two horses at my place which so far are free of all symtoms...I really want to keep it that way.
Speed cycling on the flat
Oh yeah... it's not as cool as the DH one, but here's the vid of the nutters who tape themselves into aerodynamic cocoons with 100 tooth big rings and cycle on the flat:
Look at the part 54 seconds in when the dude is cracked from his shell after giving it some. Any air in there, son?
Free Ayup upgrade. Or Lights needed urgently
