Has anyone got an OMV status update from today?

Hi there
Wondering if yellowmundee is ok to ride tomorrow morning
Cheers

Been riding a bit lately in Canberra and noticed my garmin only records temperature in whole degrees. Also it doesn't seem to measure values below zero. Is this something anyone else has experienced?

This is a compilation of my 1st and 2nd runs on Skyline, Luge, Western Wedgetail, Pork Barrel and Double Dissolution. I'd ridden Western Wedgetail, Skyline and Luge once before but it was just a cruise down behind the boy. This weekend I was out on my own at full pace.

Pork Barrel was amazing! And Double Dissolution was a heap of fun, popping off all the jumps.

Loved it !! My new favourite place to ride.

Just over three weeks ago I placed a parts order with Cycling Express - I'm still waiting for the parts. When I chased up the order I was told some of the items were out of stock, although there was no indication of this when I placed the order. My last email asking for an update went unanswered.

I chose to use Cycling Express over Chain Reaction, and was even willing to pay a bit more to support an Aussie company. But in my experience the service from Chain Reaction is so much better and faster. My last order with Cycling Express took about 6 weeks to ship from memory.

What do you think of a MTB race in the CDB?

I've done one some time ago (90s) in my hometown (event was called 'Grand Prix VTT de Genève') and have great memory of it. We had to go up in old city, ride on pavements roads, and go down true some mad sets of stairs etc… I did it first as part of state series, but then I've enrolled last minute for a 4hrs team race which was the best part of the race day.

How crazy would it be to do this in Sydney?

Here some 'vintage' pics i could find

I have a week off (only :S) in July between my internship placement and commencement of uni, and am going up to the Cairns area, closer to Atherton.
Was just wondering if anyone around here had done the Australian champs up in the same area; just wondering if someone knew the area where they were held; would be keen to check it out. Still not sure if I'll be hiring a bike and what not, but am curious to see the area, even if it is without a bike!

Cheers!

Hi All,

I'm very much a Blue Mountains Rider but am getting to a point where I've done the rides I'm doing and getting bored is the wrong word for it but I'm keen to learn about some great tracks that I haven't done for a new challenge In the BM's and outside....I know there are a lot of websites listing these tracks but id love to get someones perspective of how they enjoyed or didn't enjoy the track

Anything over 25-30 km I'd love to know about

Cheers

Hi, I need to go to Avoca from near Manly Dam this Friday or Sat. I was thinking of riding up.

Opt 1 is via Bobbin Head & the Old Pacific Highway. Anyone know of some good tracks on the way to make it a bit more interesting - nothing too technical given I'll be doing about 100km.

Opt 2 is via Terrry Hills tracks then out to Palm Beach - Ettalong Ferry.

Any thoughts or other suggestions greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

I've never enjoyed using indoor trainers, but I recently discovered that my local 24 hour gym has spin bikes and virtual "classes on demand". You select a ride, and the road/ trail appears on a huge screen in front of you while a narrator tells you how hard to set the resistance and how hard to push yourself, depending on the program. There are advanced hill climbs, high performance sessions, moderate sessions, interval rides - you choose what you're up for and away you go. Most rides are in the US but there are a couple in Italy, and quite a few are off road (eg White Rim trail in Utah).

Here it is in the bike shop awaiting a few changeover bits to arrive and Frameskin to be applied. Pickup is middle of the week.

A question for those more knowledgeable about Stan's wheels, if I may.
