Disc brake bleeding kits
Does it make much difference what bleeding kit is used?
I've seen some Shimano specific ones, as well as some Universal kits, and I'm not sure which I should buy.
Thanks,
Greg

Back in the saddle, Perimeter & Long
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Finally, the Doc has given me the all clear to get back in the saddle after a 4 month recovery so picking an easy track to ease back into it. Just going to do Perimeter and Long out and back at a steady pace. Probably about 1hr 20min return to carpark. Anyone welcome to join, I am just happy to get back on the bike

What a Circus!
Much harder than I thought or more likely a complete absence of any training. ##@%%$#%$@$#

Damn Tyres!!!
Never use 4 year old (well used) tyres when competing in an endurance event. I managed to blow out the front tyre wall with just 10k to the finish. I had to walk home and nearly came last. Grrrrr......

Dirtworks number 2 - smelly but satisfied
Seems to be a common theme with my mishaps at Dirtworks. This year I managed to run over some dog poo 5 min before the start. I was at the back of the pack trying to rub my tyres through long grass and swill in a large puddle. That wasn't working so I ended up with a stick trying to get the big bits off when the starting gun went off. Still I had a good ride, lots of fun and managed to better my time by some 15 mins.
Aiming for sub 03:00 in 2011.

Dirtworks - 1st attempt
1st attempt - not a good look crashing in front of the portable toilets just before the start due to not pre-adjusting my new pedals and cleats. I am sure this set the scene for more trouble. Running out of water, severe cramp and nearly dropping my beer on the finish line in front of a rather large crowd of "already ridden my 50 buddy" fit MTBer's. Hey but what fun!

Manly Dam update for 06 Feb
Obviously it's going to be wet with a few hours of rain but it is still ok to ride. With all the good weather and how dry it's been, I forgot how slippery the boardwalks and rocks are with a little moisture!

Hotter than hot
I now have a new benchmark for hot. My first 6+6 so was keen to see how I backed up on Sunday morning. The Del Rio forecast was for temps in the 40s and thats what we got.
