Beginner XC ride - Duckholes/Centre - all welcome
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Hello all budding new riders.
Some newer participants to the sport have recently asked for some practice in getting out there and riding some of our local trails. So if you are new to mtb riding and would like to come along, please update your 'star' to show your participation.
Trail selection was something fairly easy but not boring. I figure Duckholes/Centre a good ride and far more interesting than doing the Long Trail.

Bicycle Lifespan
I've been inspired by another Nobmobber on the subject of selling a bike second hand. That thread was about the depreciation of bikes and in particular a very high depreciation of certain bike types.
What I'd like to know is this; When one buys a bike, how long is it kept before moving on to a new one? That is, a direct replacement for that particular bike.
Many folk will have a fleet. Many will ride to work on a road optimised commuter which just keeps on truckin' however will replace their off road fun machine/s often.
