Old Coach rd/Wolgan Valley
Oooh... this looks nice:
http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3425611
I hope Flynny won't mind me quoting him from MTB-OZ:
Starting up the Drift sucked. From there it was nice fun pace. A few of the guys hadn't seen the Glow worm tunnels so we decided to ride down, walk through the tunnel and back then traverse the Pagoda track to link up with the coach rd. This was a nice little side trip. The Pagoda track, though short, offered some nice riding in between hikeabike with fantastic views over some grand old cliff lines.

Lost - Second wind pump on 22/7th
Hi all
I saw many riders out on sunday (22nd July) - had a great time myself. I lost my second wind pump. I think i lost it either on the extended loop of the dam (when you cross over the wakehurst parkway) or at the end of the normal loop on the slippery wooden descent (yes i crashed a few times on sunday)
It cost me ~$50 so if anyone finds it please let me know

'08 Bling
I was in BA yesterday, they have some '08 bling in already!
In fact, they almost had a bling overload. Couple of Santa Cruz models and a Yeti sat there front and centre as you walk in.
The '08 Carbon Rush was looking very nice. Hmmmmmm.... carbon crack'n'fail...

CBO Group Buy?
All... I'm in need of some pads for the Juicy 7's and also figure the Crossmark are so good (mud & sand on the wet rocks today, couple times I was expecting the rear to slide but stayed solid - very impressive) will get a set in for when the current ones wear out.
Even with just two of each, a CBO order comes in cheaper than local mail order, and of course, way cheaper than the LBS. Sad but true, but what can you do?
Group buy... that's what Anyone want anything from this particular store? So long as we keep the order under $1K Aussie no import duty and we can split the shipping.

Help - where can I ride with a 'roadie'?
OK - I don't need to hear about how I'm lowering my standards or something by riding with a roadie or wasting my time or whatever! What I need is to be told where we can go for a decent-length cycle-path ride?? Something we can do for a few hours which is a pleasant area to ride and maybe somewhere to stop for food/drinks etc. Can anyone suggest anywhere? Happy to do a drive to get somewhere but I live in Mona Vale...so probably an hour drive max to go where we wanna ride.

20% off everything at Anaconda
Just got an SMS from Anaconda saying final hours for their 20% off everything sale, ending at 9pm tonight, didn't even know they were having a sale but if you are in the market for clothes etc etc for the bike they have quiet a large range, not to mention all their camping gear as well. They also have quite an extensive range of biking accessories as well as a good range of bikes but don't think they stock much in the way of mechanical spares. No I don't work for them

UST/Tubed debate resolved?
So... I rode the Jekyll (with the tubed tires) for the first time in a couple of months yesterday. Got a pinch type (think the tire almost rolled while climbing through/up the site of rocky gully) flat despite having 40PSI in them.
Having ridden UST for the last couple months without a hitch think this speaks volumes.

Wednesday night ride anyone??
Hi,
Is anyone interested in a Wednesday night tide this week? Unfortunately I cannot make this Tuesdays ride and am keen to get out and do some km's. Was looking to do the perimeter and long trails at Terry Hills and then the Never Fail Gully. Meet about 7pm at the tavern.

rock shox pike 454
Rock shox pike 454 dual air for sale.
I purchased a bike a month ago with these forks and am looking for a burlier/heavier set to suit my intented ride style. They have literally done one lap of manly dam since new and are spotless. Amazing forks with good reviews intented for all mountain use. They have the handlebar mounted pop lock system and have 20mm maxle bolt through quick release axle. 140mm dual air with positive/negative chamber and rebound adjust. They retail over $1000 so if interested make an offer?!
Alternatively looking to swap for marzocchi 66 or alike.

Gazza's New Bike
Wow... now he's gone and done it. Gazza says he's got a new bike... picked it up from Manly Cycles this arvo he said.
He didn't mention any brands, but looking at their site, this sounds closest match to his description:
Not sure that's the one I would have chosen... but still if he's happy, that's the main thing

stockton beach 4x4 trip
so we decided to try and test the limits of a volvo xc90...
we got bogged....repeatedly.
up until now our testing has served us well and its done much more than we ever imagined from a soft roader but when you flog an engine and a drivetrain for kms along a beach, things start to let up, namely the not so super-duper automatic 4wd engagement unit. i fail to see what's so hard about having a switch to lock it in rather than it thinking for me itself. so the floormats came out along with the spade and the tyres went from an already low 20psi down to 15 and eventually we got out.

Manly Dam?
Apologies as im new to this, but can anybody tell me if manly dam is open to ride at the moment?..not really sure where to look for the info, but im sure one of you may know.
New bike and keen to get out!!
Thanks

Question re Kincumber
Hi All
My son and I are on the Central Coast tomorrow and Friday and I am thinking of having a quick look at Kincumber.
I followed with interest the thread regarding the ride there and have a bit of an idea of where the trails are from the maps etc.
My question is: if you only have say an hour to an hour and a half, which is the best area on the map for a bit of single track joy?
Is it the stuff to the north east? or the trails to west north west of the picnic area at the top of Island View drive?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
John

How much is that Doggy in the window
Has anyone got a good idea where I can find a price list on second hand bikes ? I like this bike on ebay, yes we have all been there, and want to know if this is a good deal or not. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Rich

Anybody for Sunday the 15th?
Hiya!
Just wondering if anybody is interested in doing a ride on Sunday?
Same story as for Saturday: somewhere dryish, riding for a few hours not tooooo far away...
Would love to go to Kincumber, missed out last time, even though it seems stupid to do the same ride on two consecuitve days.
Also possible: The Oaks, Ourimbah, Wisemans Ferry , somewhere south?, or maybe just Terry Hills (wasn't too bad even in the rain last time)...
Ideas...?
Cheers
Carolin
