G'day
I've just found you site and thought I'ld say g'day.

I'm looking for other people to go riding with of an afternoon, or weekend. I live at Narrabeen mostly ride at Cromer, Redhill area.

I mostly ride around 4-4;30 pm to about 6-6:30pm if anyone is interested.

Regards
Mark

If anybody is interested I'm going to do a lap of Manly Dam at 4.30pm this afternoon.

I'm planning on a good pace (to improve fitness, but not a hot lap) and crossing over to Bantry Bay and maybe some of the Forestville trails.

See you at the Lab at 4.30pm. I drive a Blue Subaru Liberty Wagon

Hey
I have just found ur asweome website. Is there any age limit of mountain biking?? Do you look out for each other when riding??

Wrist guards: I have tried quite a few different wrist guards on my bike: skating, snowboarding, and even expensive mountain-bike specific ones made by 661. I finally settled with some wristguards made by Rollerblade, (already on my second set): http://www.ssb5.net/users/20068/picture_959_1167...

They are very sturdy, and have saved me from a broken wrist I am sure. They are very uncomfortable for the first week or so (sore palm), but after that you don't notice them, now I do +50km of all-mountain riding with them, including technical stuff, no problems. I wear them with gloves that don't have padding on the palm of the hand.

Hey Northern Beaches mtb community,

Just a quick email and rambling...to introduce myself.

me = Mtbing for 2 years, entered a few monts, polaris..next challenge is the dirtworks in May.

This seems to be a very well organised forum and I look forward to heading out on a nobmob cycle and discover somewhere other than the favourite manly dam....

Tanya - I think I may have met you on Farkin, we tried to meet up but had crossed wires one day...??

Hello!
Ages ago Rob took some of us on a ride from Oxford Falls...we went up Hilversum Cres, down through to join the Five Mile Creek and then finished up with the cross country course - well, I was thinking about doing that this Saturday if anyone is interested...Minus that horrid steep hill which, didn't have a fantastic view at the top!!
We met at the usual spot - I need to do a morning ride but am not really fussed whether it's really early or normal time...

MEEE

anyone up for a ride at mooney mooney or ourimbah on sat? i really wanna do ourimbah again, but also wouldnt mind checking out mooney mooney too...

Where: Terry Hills - the usual run, but open for suggestions. Meet at the shops as usual
When: Tuesday 30/01/2007 at 7pm for 7.30pm start
Starters: Tien, Stuart, and Christine

Please post here if you are coming

i know ive only met a few of you a couple of times and this has nothing really to do with mountain biking but im looking for accomodation in the nortern beaches area. i thought id ask on here as id rather be moving in with someone who shares simillar interests rather than some slob who gets in every sat night/sun morning from the pub and brings all his/her mates with them. im currently living in bilgola but am getting divorced, hence the reason why i havn't been out with you guys since the first weekends ride at ourimbah and manly. anyway,its just a stab in the dark, im impeccably tidy and need a place with a lock up for bikes and a few tools. if anyone knows of anyone or anywhere then please dont hesitate to get in touch.

Hi there,
I thought I'd take the bull by the horns and sort some things out for myself. I know I don't know anyone here yet but this seemed like a good way to meet people and combine the kind of rides I know I can do! Is anyone interested in doing a weekend away in Canberra to ride in Majura, Sparrow Hill or Stromlo? A whole weekend is plenty of time to fit in quite a few different sites. And with the hot weather at the moment, the idea of riding in the cool pine forests is very attractive.

I was thinking of a weekend late in Feb or early in March if others are keen but I don't have any date set in my mind. Make a suggestion! I will probably head down there on a Friday night to get started early on Sat morning to make the most of it and head back Sunday afternoon, not too late. I have camping gear so could either do the whole nature thing or pamper my soreness after the ride with a motel/hotel.

does anyone know where i can find trails or maps of trails or whatever in the coffs harbour area? i saw some photos on this site, and have been looking the last 2 times i was there, but no luck...just thought someone may have been on some here?

OK so after gushing a bit on Sunday I'm considering taking the plunge into uncomfortable silly looking arm pads. My (ideal...) criteria are:

- Must cover from (full) elbow to at least half way to the wrist with something fairly solid
- Upper arm coverage would be preferable but not a deal breaker
- Must stay in place! Especially under duress
- Not too hot or motion restrictive
- No annoying itchy velcro bits on the straps when they're put onto bare arms

So does anybody currently use something that fits the bill? Any good/bad experience with brands? Any bike stores worth noting as having a good stock of reasonably priced quality stuff?
