2014 BMORC Bash
Glenbrook station carpark.
They said we'd never make it but, here it is! The 4th running of the BMORC bash is on. It's a world cup round so get ready to ride.
I know with the new BMCC clean-up arrangements it'll be a challenge to find a steed worthy of your shiny butt so get looking.
Remember - guidelines are:
1) Bike not to be worth more than $200 new or needs to be over ten years old.
2) No disc brakes.
3) You have to carry it out with you even if it is stuffed.
4) All stacks are your own fault for riding such a heap of S*&t
5) No clip-less pedals (unless the bike came with them originally)
Wet weather: common sense...please!!
Observation during the last two weeks of heavy rain at Many Dam....
Not The Faint Hearted
Well, what an event, what a turnout! The quality of the steeds presented certainly made up for the lack of quantity. These old machines had already paid their dues in spades on the trails but that didn't stop us brave, but more likely stupid riders asking them for one last chance to relive the glory days of mountain biking.
Hydraulics Lab descent - new Council-constructed steps
These are the new steps built by Council on the last technical descent from Allambie approaching the Hydraulics Lab.
As you can see, they impinge into the trail with sharp protruding corners, so be aware of this hazard, especially when the boards are damp.
Yes, I wonder too about the quality of Council's risk assessment process. I'm guessing in this case there was none applied.
Full stubbie thrown at cyclist's face
Why?
POLICE believe a beer stubbie was full when it was thrown from a passing car and smashed into the face of a cycling Swiss tourist.
...
The 27-year-old tourist, identified as Thomas, lay on the bitumen verge of the Princes Freeway, blood pouring from the split in the flesh beside his nose, knocked senseless by a senseless act.

Just completely unbelievable why anyone would do this.
spelling
Pedal is spelt as I've done here. The spelling peddle is not only incorrect, it refers to a different activity altogether. Therefore, when riding a bike, one is pedalling, not peddling.
