Hi all,

I've deleted the calendar entry for this ride, I will see you all at the Sunday hit-out instead. PM's have gone out to all those who opted-in to advise.

cheers,

Gilbo.

Putting out the feelers for thoughts on a destination for this Saturday.

Thoughts are; some sweet singletrack -

1. Back to Kincumber to ride the trails from last week and explore some more, or
2. Lidsdale - need I say more?

Any other suggestions?

**Update - based on replies recieved, ive created a ride entry on the calendar for Kincumber

By my count 3 is at least one bike short, the minimum number of bikes is 4; road, track, XC, DHish.

Hi,

Does anyone know anything or have been to the Fairfield City Farm mountain biking course? Where do we start - how long etc etc. Apparently this was the site of the 2000 Mountain Biking Course and someone was saying to me the other day that it was worth a visit.

... having bumped into Caro picking up the demo Rush at BA. Hope you had lots of fun (and lots of funds) ...

Hi All, New to the NobMob so please be kind!

I've recently gotten back into my bike riding and also just moved house - in doing so i found my old 199X GT Avalanche frame, which i love (it weighs nothing!) but is really only just that - a frame! cranks and gear changers/levers(LX)are all ok, but i def need new rims, forks and some tlc to get her back on the road.

so... Im looking at getting bits from ebay, theres plenty around, but i have a question or 2:

1. rear derailer is a 7speed (i think), will it be difficult getting a wheel with hub that will fit a 7 speed cluster?

Kona Stinky Primo
6" of plush travel care of Marzocchi Bomber QR20 forks and a Fox Vanilla RC on the back
Hayes hydraulic disc brakes with an 8" front rotor
XTR rear mech, XT front mech

Size: medium / large - suit @ 5'10 rider

The rig has been ridden by an old gutless bloke too scared to take on the big stuff and is in great condition. There are no modifications and all equipment is original - even the Tioga tyres !

I am moving interstate and need to sell it quickly.

Hey could everyone please put down there favourite tracks and there locations
as im trying to find some new tracks to find and ride if you could put them in to categories

I was just about to send my write up this morning when I spilled a cup of water over my laptop !!! Not sure if it has survived this accident but am hoping for the best!

It switched itself off after I spilled the water over it. I tipped the water out an tried to dry it with a towel and the blow dryer. (No comments necessary, thanks! )

Can anybody tell me how I could increase the survival chances of my computer?? Should I just plug it in tonight and see what happens or wait longer for it to dry propperly??

Cheers
Caro

Thanks Rob for the write up of the Sunday race. You seem to have most points covered, at least from what you saw. Nice work hacking on Bruce too. But you did well Bruce - a top time given our poor preparation.

After an enjoyable road trip from Sydney to Coffs, many of the group decide that the Mt Coramba downhill trail is a capital idea, given we are racing the next day. New trails!! Preparation? What preparation. To illustrate, Steve and Gazza had turned up earlier in the day and had been hike-a-biking up steep hills (err, mountains?) because they couldn't find the proper tracks. More good work! Oh Gaz, you would come to regret this!

To describe the location of this place, the road turn off for Mt Coramba is about 1km north of the big banana. You drive along a tight and twisty road high up towards the top of a mountain, that ends with a picture perfect and stunning view of the surrounding area. This includes a 180 degree view of the pacific ocean. If we weren't so keen to get riding, you could look at the view for hours. The landscape is steep, with a mix of Eucalypts and rainforest. Very different to what we are used to on the northern beaches.

Hi all... please post your reports from the recent Coffs thingo (race) here. No DH talk, we'll do that some place else
