We're off up Noosa over the long weekend and I'm taking my bike. Has anyone any experience of the trails up there?
From what I can find on the net, there's a few single track trails around Tewantin Forest and a few dirt roads in the area but not sure if there's enough to keep me going for 3 days riding?
I'm even considering taking the road bike instead.

We'll have a car up there so if anyone knows of any other trails within about an hours drive, I'd be keen to hear about them.

Cheers

Here's a Calander for all you Gravity Riders, lets you know whats on where!
Keep a look out for updates.

The title say it all. I believe Gahnia is off limits due to the trail run happening tomorrow but can I still ride Serrata, does anyone know?

Thanks!

Lost my pump today - not sure if it was Gahnia, Serrata or Manly Dam.

I had a few stacks today :/

Would love to get it back

Any recommendations on the Northern beaches?
It's to replace a carbon rim on an existing wheel.

Well the Hornsby MTB community has had breakthrough after breakthrough. After much opposition to our cause, we finally got the go ahead for a 3km track. Then we were allowed to build another 3km to it.
Then a bike festival was put on last month which was a roaring success.

Does anyone know much about the Sutherland short course mtb races?

I've been on their website but the calendar appears to empty.

I'm keen to give it a go in the near future but can't seem to find any dates they race on.

Thanks in advance, Pete

First post for 2015, and expect to hear a lot from me about the "serious" side of riding, but thought I'd kick off with some humour!

You may have been led to believe that mountain biking is only a recent pasttime, and the most recent books in the Bible were written almost 2000 years ago. So obviously the people in Biblical times could not experience the joy and excitement of cruising around the many, many dirt roads they had.

Just a heads up that Chiltern and all of Duck are now legal horse trails again ( horses were locked out in the 80s).
The horsey community seem pretty excited for obvious reasons so expect more of them out on these trails and please slow down/stop for them...as in be aware!
Cheers

Hi there

Unfortunately my Specialized Stumpjumper 2006 was stolen from my garage in Manly Vale recently so hoping someone might happen to see it around and contact Manly Police.

It's brown in colour and has some distinctive features such as:

Gold coloured handgrips
Contoured cowhorn bar ends
Computer on bars
small black mudguard on frame
small bag under seat

It's pretty sad that lowlifes can just pinch something that gives such joy to others.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any news if someone happens to see it around.

Cheers, Mark

Ladies and gentlemen
I am going to NZ in April for 2 weeks with my girl and would like to take our 29er bikes with us, (mine is an XL of course!!!)
I know a few of you have flown to NZ with your bikes, so who is the best to fly with?
Air NZ has total 158cm linear limit before excess charges apply, which seems rather small, qantas bike box seems huge but the airfares are plenty more, Virgin don't have dimensions on their website that I can find, and are pretty cheap.
Any thoughts and comments would be great

Le Spit has 3 types of Fizik saddle going for $50 each.

Limited colours but still a great buy.

I got a Gobi XM.
Can't recall the other models but Gobi XM was in the middle of the three in terms of width and comfort. There was a firmer flatter profile 'race' saddle and a wider saddle available.
