Anyone keen for a Red Hill blast SAT 25th arvo?
Late notice I know, but is anyone up for a spin around the hill. I usually start at the sports camp end.
I have work on this morning but should be able to make 2pm.
Otherwise the dam is an option, or anywhere for that matter!
Cheers Mike
Northbridge Pump Track/ Skills Park - work starts Sept 28th, need volunteers
Crosspost from Rotorburn
All local Syd riders
Council have given us the greenlight to start building the pumptrack and skills park at Sailors Bay Rd Northbridge
work starts on the Tues 28th and will be carried out by a professional trail building company, with enough volunteers there is no reason why we cant knock this over by the weekend, minus a few tweaks here and there
If you could kindly lend us a hand for a few hrs on any of the days between Tues - Sun, let me know
the roster so far is on this thread on rotorburn
Another 19th hole victim...:(
Well i rode Manly Dam this morning before work and whoa i was failing badly, started off with the seat post height wrong so strained a leg muscle, then hit a deep hole at the rocks after Eva's junction (managed to jump off and run forward here)... but my worst fail came when i tried the 19th hole (not exactly focused on it either) and managed a beautiful OTB and bit the dirt!! (thanks kindly to the two cyclists who were there to check if i was O.K, much appreciated)
Dirtbikes on Duck Holes Trail
I went for a ride with some mates this morning. As we made our way down Duck Holes we noticed that it had been trashed by dirtbikes. We came around a corner half way down & they flew past. It was lucky no one got taken out as we passed a few other riders heading up & these clowns were flying. One bike was registered, the other wasn't. As we hit the bottom of the trail we found the geniuses ute parked opposite the gate complete with loading ramp/tie downs & helmet bags. While taking the rego number they came back & hid in the bushes to wait for us to leave.
bike hire
does anyone know where i can hire a decent mountain bike- my wife has expressed and interst in going for a ride so i was hoping to hire a decent bike so she will get the most out of it and therefore more enjoyment therefore more likely to want to get a good one, dont want to buy a cheapy if she only rides it once and decide she doesnt like it. dom

6 hour Sunday
Hello everyone. I will be following up from my 5 hour road ride today(Sat 28)with a 6 hour MTB around the Manly Dam area tomorrow(Sun 29).
This weekend will be the peak in my training before the Doctor next week. I'll be in my KOM kit on the blue Pivot.
Feel free to jump in for a lap or say g'day on your way past. See you out there, Darren.

Ride - Pennant Hills to Berowra Valley and back
Check out the calendar for details (ref: Pony Club). A training ride prior to the Angry Doctor in a weeks time. The vast majority of this ride is off road and joins several trails together to form something about 50kms long with the least possible road riding.
Hope you can join us!
Accident at Manly Dam.
I saw a guy getting stretchered out from the dam today. He was lying there with about ten other people and looked to be in a fair bit of pain. My guess is a shoulder dislocate or broken arm as i didn't see any head blood.
Anyone got info on who it was and his condition?
