Sometimes a full face helmet is not enough
This is actually a motorbike incident, but looks like he was going slow enough so guess our could easily happen to a cyclist too.
Warning... Not for the squeamish!
Car hits cyclist - Lastest statistic
Just add me to the statistics - Car hitting cyclist!! (1st time - hopefully the last)
Last week i was cleaned up by a motorist while riding along McCarrs Ck Rd, on my way to the Duck Holes. 
All this in the middle of the day...visibility was clear.
I was hit from behind while travelling around 40km/h and thrown forward on to my back and slid further down the road. You can only image the words that came out of my mouth immediatey after being hit, oh ^@#kkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

New Toy
New trail/enduro bike: Cannondale Rize 3.
Will get some parts upgrades over the next few weeks as the 2010 XT running gear comes across from the Jekyll, and some more substantial Mavic CrossLand tubeless wheels.
First test ride around Manly Dam today was good. Not as plush as the old bike, but climbs a lot better and descending was more confident too.
Maxxis Exception series tubeless.....good or bad?
I just received some tyres I bought from wiggle. I bought a standard (non tubeless) Maxxis Ignitor to run tubeless with stans sealant.
The problem is the tyre they sent is the exception series not the standard one i thought i was getting.. Can I run the exception tyre tubeless with stans sealant as i normally would with a standard tyre?
I know the side walls of the exception series are alot thinner. Im a bit worried about using this tyre at the dirt works in a couple of weeks too, but if i send it back i doubt i will receive a replacement in time for the race.
Menai (Lucas Heights) update for 13 Apr
Really nice condition. at a few (around 4) places there is a little bit of water on the track, but otherwise well. Some parts are slightly overgrown. Many single tracks, never get board!
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
