MTBA insurance
Can anyone explain in layman terms what cover is provided by a MTBA licence? In an email lately, they've changed things slightly.
Personally, I already have income protection, death & permanent disability insurance.

Sparrow Hill stack
After beating last years dirtworks time by 2 hours, I was looking forward to similar improvements at the doctor, fling, fat tyre festival, jetblack 12, corc 24 and mont 24....
Not to be however.
During a fairly social lap of Sparrow Hill on Saturday morning, a simple front wheel washout combined with an uncharacteristically rocky landing zone conspired to bugger up my next year of biking activities.
I'm *almost* back on the bike...
So after 5-ish weeks off the bike due to the broken wrist (scaphoid) I finally had the cast taken off yesterday!
Back on the stationary gym-bike today, and hoping to be back on the real bike in a few weeks time.
I'll need to, given the 10kg of beer-weight I've put on...
See you on the trails soon,
Don
Matt P's 'neatly' sewn up shin
Please note the dollar coin for scale 
Whilst this looks like it's been sewn up by a blind man in an earthquake, it's a damn good job considering the pervious carnage!
Take note kids - shin pads are the future
Broken connex chain link
Whilst it is tempting to keep using those nifty connex quick links, you should bear in mind that they don't last forever. You can get away with using an old one while you go through a couple of chains, but leave it too long, and they suffer from metal fatigue.

Love Bites Part I
Taken after stacking it in the Blue Mountains. Slowed to a stop, couldn't unclip, then fell over to the left side and the big chain ring decides to take a liking to my leg.
