Manly Dam update for 27 Oct
Manly Dam, October 26. Amber at best, lots of puddles and standing water the entire way around. Between them the trail's fine, but the number of deep puddles is going to lead to a lot of trail widening and erosion. Rideable now, but if the forecast rain comes in for the rest of the week it ain't looking too good.

Hi Nobmobers,
Heard a rumour that the guys that set up the Warrimoo DH track got slammed with a fine. Anyone know the facts?
Cheers.
Leadville Trail 100 - August 2011
There was a flurry of interest in the Leadville 100 earlier in the year when the “Race Across the Sky” movie was showing at the cinema. Is anyone going to try and get to Colorado for the race in August 2011?
Wingello single track fling experience
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
Last chance to ride the singletrack sections of the fling before the big day.
Aim is to complete some laps of the singletrack with minimal time on the fire trail.
All welcome, not just fling entrants. The tracks at Wingello are great and every rider should experience them. At least the first lap will be "no drop" and after that we will try and get some pace.
I will look to be at the old bike shoppe in Bundanoon at 08:00 for a coffeee and depart at 08:30, so anyone not familiar with the meeting point can meet there.

Great. The sand is hard packed and the clay mud is dry. About as good as Cascades gets. Amzing what one hot sunny day does.

Bike was name on the insurance policy.
Thank you all for your submissions!
Just a quick note to thank everyone who commented on the NPWS mountain bike discussion paper over the last month or so.
It might have taken some prompting (sorry), but a nice flow of submissions ended up on the government's forum. The final tally was 2310 comments across the 6 topics listed.
To highlight what a sterling job mountain bike riders have done in showing the department what a massive demand for mountain biking facilities there is, just have a look at a couple of other topics on the 'Shape Your State' site and the interest they received:
- Health Reform received 242 comments across 13 topics.
- Barangaroo development received 290 comments across 17 topics.
So go mountain bikers! Hopefully these numbers will prove to be a message that the authorities just cannot ignore.
Rotator cuff injury
Havent gone to see a physio yet but seeing all the different injuries posted here, just wanted to know whether it is common for the rotator cuff to have slight tears from overexertion or holding on for dear life?
The pain only occurs when i raise my arm on a certain angle. But for all intensive purposes, I can still ride without a problem.
Strange thing is that I didnt injure myself or fall off and the other sports I play dont have much to do with my left shoulder (tennis/basketball)
Anybody else experience this same problem from riding and do I need to stay off the bike?
