Oxford Falls (Morgan Road) update for 13 Feb
Puddles in the usual places, rocks very slippery. Firetrails all good, but singletrack pretty soggy and quite eroded.

Wet
Set out before it bucketed down to get in a few laps, didn't set out to to do a fast time and slowed a few times to regroup. Half way through the lap it was already very wet, very slippery. Hopeful that I can take off a few more minutes given the right conditions and without slowing.

Brakes
I have recently purchased an Anthem X 29er which I'm stoked with. I am going to change the brakes from Avid Elixr Cr's to XT's as I prefer them. The XT's are currently set up on my other bike with 160mm rotors. (the rotors on the Anthem are the same size) Do I need to swap the rotors or can I just bolt on the XT calipers/levers with original rotors that are currently on the Anthem?

[Montview] Come to April Meeting
Public meeting in April (Date & Time TBA) for any people interested to come a long and comment on the Montview Plan.
This is essentially pumps and jumps and should assist in accelerating other forms of off road cycling. Council plan to run a public meeting to get the public’s feedback about the plan to make sure they are doing what we want.
Montview is a flat sports field located in Hornsby Heights with some degraded land on it's east end.

Manly Dam update for 12 Feb
Went down to do some laps, however only got 1 in due to the rain that came in. It was pretty claggy at the top and that we before the heavy rain came in, I would suggest giving it a miss at this stage.

Maxxis Larsen TT Lust
After getting a bubble in my rear Kenda Nevegal which came default with my bike, I went out to by a crossmark which I have used previous and liked but the shop dealer talked me into the Larsen. Its a bit late asking now as I have already bought and used it but have you used this tyre? what do you think of it?

more hill training required
Not ideal starting a hot lap after a 60k trying to keep up with D-on. Had nothing in the legs so stopped trying after about 30 seconds. Will have to come back and do this again when the legs are fresh. Lap 13

XC Tyres for around the NSW area
Hi Guys, I did a search for this and found a result from 2009, has much changed since then?
I've been out of the MTB scene for a couple years and have also crossed to this side of the ditch as well and gone from a "7 front 6" rear travel bike to 120mm all round and the trails are alot different here.
I've ridden Manly dam, Ourimbah and still exploring other places and wondering what tyres are working well.
I currently have Merida Trail Lite 2.25 on board as thats what came on my Merida One-Twenty.
Cheers for any help
Muzz.

Something to have a go at
First ride back after breaking my shoulder 4 weeks ago. Thought I'd put the clock on it and see how I compared to all the other posted laps and to give myself a starting point. Could've easily gone quicker and will do once my confidence grows again, I was a bit sketchy in places. That said it was a good ride back and the shoulder gave no problems. Clock was actually started in the car park so I have taken off the 1.30 it took to get to the gate which gives a sub 1hr time.
