We were talking about this the other day, so here you go (linked from Mountain Biking UK - where there's an article about it):

...Due to a last minute brake check to ensure the safety of the riders below, Dave came up slightly short and was bucked by his bike into the rocky tranny...

...Released from the hospital with a partially separated shoulder, sore back, neck, and a severely bruised groin, Dave will recover fully...

Does anyone know if these shoes will work with clip in pedals??

Hi there,

Long time reader, first time poster...

I was just wondering if anyone knows much about these two bikes the Diamondback XTS, or XTS Moto? Any advice is welcome.

I am also curious about the sizing of their frames, the small is 17.5", and I can not for the life of me find any frame dimensions on the net anywhere.

Here is the spec if anyone is curious?

Hey all

I've had an email from a bloke who lost a a Seiko divers watch somewhere on singletrack in Oxford falls north of the Warringah Aero Club. If anyone happens to come across it please drop me and email ([email protected]) and I'll put you in touch with the owner

Rob

It's next week about 80 mins north of here and supposed to be a great track, you can check it out at:

http://www.brightorangeevents.com/

And details of the track are here:

We can enter in solo, pairs, threes or fours so if you're keen post up! The race starts at 8 so would be an early start but not quite as gruelling as the dirtworks...

Ta,
Matt.

(Who now has the beast back from those nice guys at gripsport and is raring to give it a good thrashing ;-}(think Basil Fawlty with a tree branch and a mini...))

One glorious winter's morn this plan sounds like a go-er... anyone else keen:

Drive up to Wisemans Ferry, park up at the East ferry, but cycle through town and go across on the West one.

Cycle up St Albans road then turn left and go up the climb to Womerah Range. This was the second climb/loop part of the 100Km Dirtworks this year. Ride this of course and blast down Jacks Track (rather than totter down after 90Ks of slog like last time).

Wonder through St Albans. Depending on the ride style and what people want - stop for a bite at the pub. Hmmm... maybe... hmmmm.

well worth the 20mb download.

Anyone who wants to come along on a training ride to get fitness up for Coffs let me know..was thinking a fling in the Blue Mountains could be fun and haven't done this one for ages.
Could possibly sneak in a look at Narrowneck if anyone is super keen!
This would be a demanding ride, and excellent fun!

Cheers,

Shano

Anyone find it or see someone flogging if off to someone else, please let me know

Red, Large frame 2005 Demo nine ser# PK472042

Stolen from Wollstonecraft last night by 'the pros'.

This proves that you can NEVER be too paranoid folks. I thought this bike was secure. Multiple locks, chained to 2" steel pipe, covered, in a locked garage inside a secure car park.

Got some pics. How do I upload them?

Police have been contacted and will be around soon.

I'll let Avanti dealer know the ser# too.

hope you all have a better day.

Cheers,

Hey there
A group of us (about 5)are planning to go to The Oaks on June 2nd, but none of us have been on the track before. Any advice gratefully received and if anybody wants to join feel free.
Starting times and meeting place TBA - open to suggestions.
Are two laps in a day feasible? We are looking to do 4+ hours riding.
cheers
Mark
