Female mountain biking buddies wanted
Hi,
I am looking for other girls to joing me during week out on the trails.
I usually ride on the weekends with my husband or daughter or other friends we've made out on the tracks but am keen to find other girls for company on the tracks during the week.
I am 51 but am reasonably fit and have been mountain biking for several years. I am not particularly fast up hill but love going down hill! My local tracks are Terrey Hills, Cascades and Manly Dam but my favourite is Ourimbah.
So if you are interested in joining me please let me know. Wendy
Mike Baird's speech regarding NPWS MTB Discussion Paper
In case you didn't catch it, local State MP Mike Baird spoke in parliament last Friday in response to the current NPWS Mountain Bike discussion paper. In this he mentions making a positive submission to the department which echoes the sentiment of the speech.
Credit where it's due - Mike's support has been key to moving this issue along so I'd like to publicly thank him for that.
If you'd like to read what was said, the full transcript is here:
Next netti sale
Hi All,
Just wanted to find out if anyone knows if there is another netti warehouse sale coming up in Alexandria any time soon?
Thanks,

Cascades update for 25 Oct
Before the rain it was very sandy and scetchy. The rain has hardened the sand, but there are some exposed clay bits that are carving up. Its quite nice and quick to ride however wont take much to turn into a clay mud bath in some sections. Watch out for the python.

Cascades Python Up Close
Thought I would go for a quick spin between showers. Didnt expect to see one of these. He wasnt fussed by me at all.

New to Sydney - Live close to Manly Dam
Hi,
I am new to Sydney and living close to Manly Dam. Looking for people to hit up the trails at Manly Dam a few times a week to get my fitness back up. Don't currently have a car so that is why I am thinking Manly Dam as it is riding distance for me. Would love to meet some of you local riders for a blat on the bike. If the weather is good I hope to head out a few times during the week as I am not working this week.
Hope to hear from you locals.
Cheers,
Jeremy

The season finale of The Atherton Project
Very funny, if a slightly bad example to the kids 
Gee is working on a drop that he say's is a "Steep ass canyon... with a vertical landing") that on the video looks like riding off a cliff (which it is of course!).
He's being too subtle, Darren Roberts (Red Bull Performance Manager), described it thus: "This is f&cked, this is totally f&cked. It actually goes through a hole in the space time continuum down there... into, like, an alternate universe of f&cked up-ness where the laws of physics don't apply".
