Hi there!!
I have been to Oriundah last Monday and had a fall in the Downhill track. Today I discovered I lost my pump in that fall, so I am going back this weekend. I am planning to get there after midday (around 13hs), ride until dust, stay overnight and keep riding on Sunday morning. Then to the beach in the afternoon. Beautifull beaches in the entrance, and good to keep up with the lady. Still have one more spare space in the car and room for another bike. Anyone interested give me a call 0403-892857. Otherwise hope to meet some of you there!!

Whilst we struggle to bring LED lights in biking to life, you might be interested to hear Audi is now offering full LED lighting on some vehicles. Can't be long now before prices start to fall...

"An interesting innovation, and one that will be optional on even something as exotic as the R8, will be the availability of LEDs for all lighting functions – high and low beam, daytime running lights and indicators.

Particularly interesting are the headlights which are 'reminiscent of an open pine cone', with reflector shells arranged concentrically one behind the other in conjunction with an

OK!
Now, Rob has brought to my attention that this is a daggy suggestion but as we are going to farewell Brocky at Bathurst next weekend I wondered whether anyone would be at all interested in going for a moonlit ride (yes, I am still optimistic that there will be no cloud and no lights needed..!!!)
Anyway, next Friday night (6th I believe) is the proposed date...I am getting paranoid about missing a ride since when washing up last night I had a panic attack that I am not fit enough to do this Fling (well, half a fling) thing...

OK so I have chosen the lights I want to use for my home made bike lights, MR16 12V leds, now just to power them. Remember I want something light weight, I wanted the light and battery mounted on my helmet, and now it obviously needs to be 12volt. Wanting to keep my money as local as possible I started searching the electronics suppliers around my area for what I was after. The handle bar light is only 1.4 watt, 12 volt, to get burn time of around 4 hrs plus some reserve I only needed about a 1 Ah battery. The helmet light was 3 watt and therefore required a little more juice, something between 2 and 2.5Ah should do the trick.

Hey
Was playing with my camera today, and came to the conclusion that I need to get some practise of photographing riders. I'd go with Liz and Justin at 3pm, except I have my 18th planned for that night, so I don't want to go riding a few hours before it starts.

What I propose is meeting at the Douglas St entrance, taking it slow down the single trail, and then down lower Cambourne, and i'll leave whoever comes there (I need to do a lot of study, so I dont want to be out for too long).

Details:
Meet: cascades, Douglas St, near Akron Oval
Time: 8am

Hi there
My name is Nat.. I haven't had my bike for long and have only done a couple of rides.. Am keen to ride on Sundays and not really sure where to start and what is around for beginners.

Hi there!! I have been hitting the trails for a year now with a Trek 3700 (http://www.bayviewcycle.com/NewFiles/bike_specs/003/MTB/MTB_Trek_3700.html). I feel it is time to move forward and use it to commute only. My budget is $2500 max. including new helmet and shoes. I wonder if it is worthy the full suspension or the lighter models. Add shoeclips? Hidraulic brakes? Adjustable suspension? Remember, we add one thing but remove another to keep the budget! I don't race. I rather take the down hills slow no stopping than fast with a crash half way down. More important I want something to go up as weel as down.

This Thursday night meet at Terry Hills, street beside Japanese school, park at the end under the lights, same as last time about 7ish.

If noone responds, Rob and I will probably change this to Cascades. Happy to do Cascades instead but if you want to do this with me then be prepared to hang around at the top of the hills, understand?

Cheers all.

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone is interested in a mid-week ride, possibly Thurs 21st. I'm fairly new to Sydney and so far have only ridden Royal National Park and Terrey Hills- so anywhere new would be good. I would love to have a crack at Manly Dam, but understand it is probably closed at the moment.
Anyway, please drop me a line if keen,

Liam
