In the news: Second round of MTB Discussion paper forums
Please see Second round of MTB Discussion paper forums in the NoBMoB news section.
Basically, more dates from NPWS forums on the MTB discussion paper.

Wiggle & CRC
How are the deliveries going? I just got a Wiggle order arrive today - from back on Jan 11. Last CRC order took about 20 business days as well. I used to get it same week - anyone else seeing delays or just my bad luck

Neck protection
Hi Mobbers,
Got the pressure suit, gloves, knee and shins etc. and looking at safety gear for neck protection. My son 14yo does DH and has FFace helmet etc. And I have been to TBSM site to have a look at neck protection. Looks like there has been a few developments with this over the last 6 months or so with the availability of "Race Collar" rather than the large full on neck braces. Cheaper too. Any comments from you guys would be appreciated.

Second round of MTB Discussion paper forums
All, there is some disappointing news to share here, but perhaps we can turn it into a positive.
It has come to my attention that the Colong Foundation has questioned the validity of forums NPWS set up last year as part of the submission process for their mountain bike discussion paper[1].
... The Colong Foundation for Wilderness has today called for the results from these public meetings to be thrown out and for National Parks and Wildlife to explain why it granted such a sensitive task to a mountain bike advocate and who is also involved in building tracks.
Mr Anthony Burton, the facilitator of the bike forums for National Parks and Wildlife appears to be a mountain bike advocate and consultant...
NB: It seems NPWS will only put on these forums if there is enough demand. So I would discourage people from contacting NPWS to confirm their attendance in the hope some of these meetings might not even happen. Call your local NPWS office or the venue a few days before the meeting you'd goto and confirm if it is on if you are interested in attending.

sunnies :(
So sometime last Sunday I lost my Rudy Project Golf with a smoke lens somewhere near Castle Hill or Stanhope Gardens, and didn't realise it until yesterday...probably lost all hope of ever finding them.
I like them a lot...light, single lens design and the lens have air vents to prevent fogging....that and they look awesome I'd get another pair if they weren't discontinued
Can anyone recommend another pair/brand of a similar design? (light skeleton frame, single lens)

Blackbutt Reserve update for 07 Feb
Track is fine apart from a large bit of tree blocking it about 3/4's the way down from the Vale St end. Only likely to be a problem if you're not paying attention or doing a night run.

Can this be fixed?
Had a little accident on the weekend noticed this when cleaning bike. Can this be fixed and how, or am I up for a new saddle?
Cheers Stu.

Red Hill update for 07 Feb
Good condition - a bit sandy in places so some rain would do it good to pack down some areas
