Bike Computer/GPS
Just looking to get trip computer/GPS - have come across the Garmin range. Want to be able to record trip data & download trail maps etc.
Does anyone have any recommendations for which models to get or other products they think are good?
OT: Body Browser
Sorry if this is off topic, but I'm just blown away by the latest Google toy... Body Browser:

It's like Google Earth for your body... great for looking into all those aches and pains we have! 
AndOaks over New Years?
I'm home between Dec 31st and Jan 3rd inclusive and am hoping to ride Anderson's and Oaks during that time period. I've considered hitting St Helena as well as I haven't done that one before.
Since Knapsack Reserve is open now, the idea of riding around there is a possibility after spending a fortune at Glenbrook Cake store at the end of the huge climb at the end of the Oaks.
Any takers at the moment?
Northern Beaches Link up
I was out at Oxford falls last night and wondering about how you could link up the 4 areas. If you started on a loop of Manly - could you ride through Bantry Bay (fire trail) down through Killarney Heights to the Roseville Chase bridge - up the river into Garigal Cascades - up past the tip over SH3 into St Ives - through Terry Hills, back down the downhill into Oxford falls, down through deep creek and into Red Hill via the NSW sports institute - back up Red Hill to Lady Penryn Drive and along the road to Allaambie Heights and finish. Is any of this illegal?
Glenrock Fun Changed to 8am

Corner of Pacific Highway and Fernleigh Loop, Adamstown Heights

All are welcome so see you there 
Female Team Mate needed for Jetblack Sydney 6+6hr
We have a group of girls doing the Jetblack 24hr event 5-6 Feb, just north of Sydney. Some are doing the full 24hr whilst others are doing the 6hr+6hr (start at 12pm ride till 6pm then up again for 6am to 12pm). The girls are from all over Sydney and Canberra.
We are in need of a female team member to make a team of 2 complete for the 6+6.
You don't have to be a gun rider, it may well be your first event, what you do need though is a willingness to have some fun.
We guarantee:
- a fun and social weekend
- great support from our crew
- a sense of personal achievement
Anyone got a contact at Giant?
Does anyone have a contact at Giant Bikes? I have a warranty issue with my 2010 TranceX1 and my local dealer says it's very unlikely Giant will look at it before Christmas. I was planning a lot of riding over the Christmas break... my bike is unrideable and I'm devastated! Being a long-term loyal customer I thought I'd try contacting Giant myself and pleading with them to fast track my warranty claim. So any contacts would be greatly appreciated!
new National Parks booklet
managed to have a quick squiz through the new National Parks booklet this morning at work(a box of them broke open in front of me) & was astonished to see Glenrock State Conservation Park has no mention of Mtb or the little symbol to show it is allowed-whats going on?
Ourimbah State Forest update for 15 Dec
This trail is currently in the best condition I have seen it in a long time. Track is nice and dry and firm and there are no visible ruts after all the recent rain.
Only thing to be wary of is there are some very sandy patches forming in some of the Corners on the Roller Coaster and will catch out the unwary. The Central firetrail is also getting VERY sandy in parts and makes riding tricky.
If you are looking for somewhere to ride out of Sydney this weekend, Ourimbah would be my pick.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.
