Packing up a bike
I'm going over to visit my better half's family in South Africa for a few weeks in the new year. Where they are (Western Cape - winelands) there are awesome trails. I am weighing up taking my own bike or just hiring one over there. I'm not overly concerned about the extra weight or extra bag more just is it worth it for the whole having to pull the bike apart and put it back together factor?

In response to Resting Heart Rate. Sorry, couldn't resist
This was taken end of November 2010 when I'd been injured for quite some time and not training, think I can do better

Blackbutt Reserve update for 07 Dec
A couple of damp patches, but this is la Nina right? Generally good, with a nice "racing line" developing on the fire trail down from Gordon. Plenty of walkers use it as well. Be alert, so they are not alarmed [with apologies to John Howard].

Lane Cove National Park update for 07 Dec
Rode through from Ryde Rd to Brown's waterhole this arvo. Some bits are probably not going to dry out this side of Christmas, but the rest has drained pretty well for the most part. Sandy bits still reasonably firm.

Red Hill update for 07 Dec
Went for a run along the main trail and was surprised how good the trail has coped with the rain. There are the usual puddles and grit sections but very rideable-wished I'd taken the bike!

Mountain Biking Near Anna Bay/Nelson Bay???
Hi Folks,
I am off to One Mile Beach near Anna Bay and Nelson Bay, and wondered if anyone had any knowledge of MTB rides in the area, or should I just take the roadie?
Thanks

Riders needed for Manly Dam photo oportunity - tomorrow!
Now... although Manly Dam is closed I've been contacted by a photog who's looking for some pictures of riders in a bush setting with lighting.
This is a rather urgent requirement as they are looking to take some shots tomorrow evening (that's the Dec 8th) at dusk. I'm assuming that would be somewhere around 8pm.
I think this is something to do with an advocacy campaign so would be in riders interest to help out. Although I understand what a PITA it would be to kit up and get out there not to be able to ride was hoping some locals wouldn't mind taking a little time tomorrow to do that.
