Berowra update for 10 Dec
Track's in great condition - there's a few puddles and trees down, but nothing major; all these obstacles can be 'jumped' quite easily!
Do you have more information?

Berowra Heights
At a Glance
Lovely leafy fire trail on the western side of the plateau. Commonly riden from Ti-Tree Cres north to Berkerly Cl and then sealed roads back to meeting location.
Berowra
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Corner of Gully and Berowra Waters Road. There's a little playground there that has a tap to fill water up from and a car park behind the shops.
If the timings on Friday afternoon aren't suitable for you, let me know and I might be able to change them.
If you've been here before with me, you'll know what to expect. If you haven't here's a rough outline:
We start by going along a nice quiet road, which starts to descend, and gradually you go faster and faster, until a final mad rush, where you'll hit terminal velocity (well, not quite, but I hit 66.6km/h once). Like the sound of that? It's just the beginning.
Manly Dam update for 10 Dec
I know they've re-opened the Dam, but i rode there this morning and although the majority of the track is in good condition, the known wet areas are well.......really quite wet! I went thinking I'd do a couple of laps and stopped after one! If the the heat/humidity keep up over the next day with no additional rain I'd suggest Sunday would be the day.

Rocky Trail's SHIMANO MTB Grand Prix Series 2011
Hi guys,
After a big series finale at Mt Stromlo we have some very exciting news regarding the 2011 series: as you can see in the title SHIMANO is on board as principal sponsor which means that you can expect even more great gear to be tested and scored next season.
Dealing with Sweaty Clothes after Morning Ride
So I have been riding into work for a while now, however the recent temperatures in the morning have started to pose a interesting problem. I sweat a lot when I ride in and go through almost a litre of fluid an hour if its hot, which is posing me two significant issues currently when riding in which are:
1. my nicks and shirt are normally pretty drenched when I get in, so getting them dry is a slight issue
Damn 1 x 9
it's the perfect bike for climbs like this as it's light and stiff but like a single-speeder the lack of low gearing means you just have to keep on attacking the hill. The lowest gear it's got is 36f-32r which it was in for most of that hill. Great for getting a good time but it sure destroys you
