Winmalee update for 23 Feb
A few puddles in the usual places through Bluegum Swamp. A new tree down that provided a hairy moment at around 25km/hr - just missed my head on the first branch with my head on the bars then had to bunny hop the second sitting up at least a foot.
All good along Shaws Ridge and down the decent.
Springwood Ridge was fine on Sunday 20th Feb.

Report from Second round of MTB Discussion paper forum
Regarding In the news: Second round of MTB Discussion paper forums.... there's a report from the Nowra workshop here...
http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?2...
Have a read. For the authorities it's worth noting the lack of opposition to views in the prior forums (which was predominantly that sustainable mountain bike riding in NSW National Parks would be a good thing) given the turn out of this meeting.
Full suspension commuter rack
Hi all
Couldn't find anything relating to this on the site.
Does anyone know of, or has purchased the pannier racks for a full suspension MTB?
The only one I can find is the topeak one with a max load of 10kg.
I'm after one so I can start commuting to work and carry all my gear, as I have to take a laptop hom every day too, plus gym gear, plus work gear plus cycling gear.
Be nice to be able to chuck some panniers on the bike.
Snake bite..
Hi everyone
As a preamble this does not apply to inner tubes and I realise the season for snakes is fast drawing to a close....
On Friday three of us saw a dead diamond python - such a shame as it was a beauty!
I've seen more snakes this season than ever before (probably cos I'm riding my bike) and have wondered what I would do if I was bitten. So I've gone and bought myself a compression bandage amongst other things.
Can anyone refer me to any "how to" put the bandage on if I was bitten etc?
wingello social
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
fun social ride in the highlands no set pace or distance will take it as it comes
most likely red loop then bits and pieces
[Mod. think you meant 27th?]
Yellomundee Regional Park update for 22 Feb
Yellomundee is still in great condition after the WSMTB Summer 4 Hour Series. Looking good for the club rounds starting 6 March.
As always, please give Yellomundee a break of a few days after any heavy rain.
thanks

There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
Round 1 of the Western Sydney MTB XC series will be on Sunday 6 March. Race starts at 9.30am but rego closes at 8.45am so we can get the U13s race in before the main event.

visit to Canberra/Mt Stromlo
Anyone have advice on which tracks that should not be missed at Mt Stromlo? Any nice combinations of tracks? Or other things to keep in mind?
I've never been riding there before, but will be going to Canberra Sunday and Monday and don't want to waste my time so was hoping for some good advice! Thanks
