Tentative Planning (MTB)
If you have a pretty much definate plan for a ride then this is not the place for you. You should be creating a ride meeting entry instead, which will appear in the calendar, etc.
This forum is for talking over tentative plans, asking opinions on rides, etc.
old farts scenic tour of Lidsdale
drove past this area and have been trying to maps google, CTMBC, GEarth it to see what's there.
and youtube vids just make even the newbie in me drool.
old farts scenic tour of The Oaks
well, if we get up and manage Andersons this weekend 21st
we'll either be
in a heap moaning or
all fired up for The Oaks some time real soon now
so badger me, tourist mode, no record times setting, cameras optional/mandatory (?)
crap, i was going to do two things and the other one has already fallen out on the floor and i can't find it. dang ;-(
Saturday morning 12th Sep - any takers?
I've finally managed to get another MTB after having a roadie for a few years and it's about time to start exploring the Sydney tracks.
I'll be a bit rusty, and I'm not 19 anymore, so you should get a load of free entertainment thrown in with the ride.
A bit of XC somewhere remotely close to Ryde would be good. Then again I guess "close" probably ranges from Hornsby to Manly to Menai, eh.
I know Cascades, etc is closed this weekend, so where else is good for a middle-aged fart getting back on the saddle?
Slow Sunday Laps?
Anyone feel like a few (3?) laps of the Dam tomorrow? Not too early... perhaps 10:30?
I won't be looking to break any records, just a nice steady pace.
The glow in the dark ride
Hiya,
i'm coming up to Sydney to do some work at ANSTO from 19-27th September and would like to get out to check out the local trails while i'm there. First suggestion would be to meet up on Wednesday night - but i'm reasonably flexible to get out with some locals rather than have to ride on my own.
hope to see some of you out on the trails

10mm bolt through rear
I have just ordered the 10mm bolt through conversion for my Hope Pro II hub from CRC.
Unfortunately, CRC did not have any 10mm bolts in stock and i am too imptaient to wait.
Any suggestions on 10mm bolts, what types, where to get them.
i'd love the DT Swiss ratchety one, but the finance director will have my head if i spend too much.
PS: 2007 Kona Coilair, 135m hub spacing. Hope ProII hubs
Ride Saturday (5th September)
I've just got my bike back after having to have the rear break rebuilt. Haven't been out in 2 weeks.
I'm in need of a good saturday morning ride.
Red Hill (not the DH)
Manly Dam
Cascades (starting at St Ives)
any suggestions welcome!
cheers
Ride Tonight (Wed 26 Aug)
I'm keen on a social ride. (Not Rob's leg breaking 4 gates ride)
Manly Dam?
Terry Hills?
All i need is one other and i'm happy to go!
anyone planning a Wednesday night ride? Some Saturday Laps?
At a bit of a loss as to where to ride this weekend. The Delicious Flavours do look tempting, but...
I have to go collect the Rush from BA sometime and was thinking Saturday morning I could wonder over and collect it, and do a few laps of the Dam (perhaps with the nasty firetrail drop/return over on Bantry Bay thrown in for some hills) while there.
Anyone fancy joining a ride like that? Or for something else close by (erm... that would be Cascades then?). I'm thinking not too early, 9 or 10 perhaps?
