Family rides near Jindabyne/Snowy Mountains?
Any suggestions for easy/medium level family rides around the Jindabyne/Snowy Mountains area?
We are heading to the Snowies after the Mont, staying at Jindabyne and have 5 days in the local area. Appreciate any suggestions for local trails (both single track and gravel) suitable for our three boys (10, 12, 13) and S.O. Thank you.

Cycleops Jet Fluid Pro Trainer
Anyone have any specific experience with this exact model and if not with one of the Cycleops fluid trainers? I'm aware of the difference between wind/magnetic/fluid/rim/wheel/etc. trainers and as this exact model in on for what seems like a really good deal and interested to know if it is a decent model.
Reflectors get you big air!
Wow, check this out.
Seems some bright spark has come up with an aerodynamic reflector design that helps riders (OK - mostly DH riders) get big air over jumps. They work in the same way as airline wing to generate lift and let riders fly!

Perfect track conditions
After the Rocky Trail weekend I thought the trail would be a tad dusty but a quick storm earlier today made the track ( after it re opened ) feel like riding on rails .

Mont 24 Team Member wanted
We have a team of six in The Mont - all of decent fitness, most have raced one way or another, and whilst we may not necessarily win, we are definitely going in it to have a go.

We pretty much have the camping and other gear that we will need and just need a keen human with a bike!
