Has anyone ridden the new Vapour Trail at Stromlo, can you describe what its like, do you have a video?

Pic of my new Trek Remedy 9. Changes include swapping to XT 2x10 cranks, XT trail spd pedals, Blackspire twinity chain guide and new grips.

Went to Awaba today for the first time and tested the remedy's all mountain abilities by doing a few laps of the xc course then rode up mount faulk rd to the down hill course. Coming down was fantastic and scary as all hell, the course was definitely bigger than the bike, but I ended up walking only two sections which I was happy with. Overall stoked with the bike and cannot wait to get it down to Ourimbah's all mountain course.

does anyone here have one fitted and if so are they any good?thought id take the plunge and get a dropper post and these are pretty well priced,cheers

Is it possible to ride Lake Jindy trail or any other around Jindy through the winter?

Saw this posted on the Dirtz facebook page:

"It dismays me but an anonymous complaint has been submitted to Penrith Council in NSW, Australia re the LMX ( Luke Madill ) BMX track. Because its easier, Penrith Council are proposing to have the track torn down. The track features 2 x start hills ( Australia's first 8m ), dual straights on every straight except the finish. It has played host to riders across the World and currently plays host to all of the LMX club members, including many young children. The French team will even be using it to train on in the upcoming weeks.

With all the recent wet weather, and because I don't have a road bike, I decided to supplement my training over the last couple of months by going to the gym. I've been doing spin bike sessions including high intensity/ interval sessions. I also do some strength training like squats and leg presses once or twice a week. I still manage to get out for a 3-hour endurance ride at least once each week, but overall my volume of riding has been way less than in previous months.

Hi all,

I just received this. Please try again.

"The Metro North East Region of National Parks and Wildlife Service currently have a number of documents on public exhibition. The date for submissions has been extended to Friday 19th July 2013.

If you have not already I would invite you to examine the documents and make comment on matters of interest to you.

Things have been ticking along from various fronts quietly in the background for a few years now so basically a few things have now been set up to give the project, ideas and dreams an bit more focus.

I've been wanting to ride along Upper Mangrove Creek Rd from the Dubbo Gully end for a while now so this afternoon I did. As it turns out it doesn't go all the way to Mangrove Creek Dam as the map suggests, however, after travelling about 4km and jumping a few gates (no keep out signs), the road ends at a dilapidated off the hinges opened gate, with a small sign off to the side saying "do not enter 6 German Shepherds running free", yeah right?

Just seeing what the latest on the Dam is? Rideable? I live in manly vale and it seems to have mostly dried up around us, but keen to hear from anyone who's ridden/walked it in the last day or so

If its rideable, I'll be heading out early tomorrow morning (5:15ish) for a couple of pre-work laps (and some night riding practice for the jet black 12 hr that's coming up) - anyone care to join?

What do people consider as reasonable value for bike usage?
For example, if you paid $3000 for a bike and covered 5000 km on it would you say that you'd got your moneys worth from of it?

How many k's would you expect to get from your bike and how much did you pay for it?
