Yellomundee Regional Park update for 16 Oct
Windy conditions deteriorated today with numerous trees felled. At first it was just a few dead wattle trees down, but then bigger stuff started coming down. Trees are blocking the track in various locations so tale it very carefully if at all. TREE DOWN IN CONTACT WITH POWER LINES. When doing the long straight downhill near the lines you could will need to avoid them since the tree has pushed them over towards the track.
Do you have more information?

Woo hoo finally
The doc has taken the wires out of my finger & has given me the ok too hit the bitumen for now . It is a starting point the trainer was getting boring on a sunny day , might do a ride too Homebush & back Sunday , I think it is too late to enter the spring cycle ride .

Terrey Hills Early
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
I am badly in need of some time on the mtb before the Fling. Planning on heading to Duck Holes, up to Centre, around to and along Perimeter, out and back to Long and then Cullamine, Sandy & Larool. All up about a 40 km circuit, not at breakneck speed by any stretch of the imagination but I would like to limit stops and keep a constant pace.
This is early so not expecting takers but thought it worth posting anyway. There is also the small matter of pending storms that are supposed to come through, I don't mind a bit of wet but don't want to ride in gale force winds!

Fundraising for Bear Cottage during the HighLand Fling
Hi All,
I’m raising money for Bear Cottage while I compete in the High Land Fling this year. My Team and I hope to raise $4000, so if you'd like to sponsor me or one of my team mates, go to http://www.everydayhero.com.au/highland_fling_se...

A little perspective
With all the talk of the current NPWS Discussion Paper I was thinking this morning about what bike riders are actually asking for.
Bike riders just want a few bike tracks that will give them some sort of meaningful experience inside a National Park or two. You know - a few nice loops with a variety of terrain to keep things interesting, through nice bushland with nice views. Is that much to ask? It appears some people think so, so how can we persuade them otherwise?

Which Courier Company to send frame to USA?
I have to send a frame back to JensonUSA and need to use a reliable, trackable, registered method. Does anyone have any experience sending large parcels across the Pacific and recommend any particular methods (company?) or should I just go to Australia Post?

Apologies in advance...
... to all those who have added their support for the NSW NPWS paper.
When I canvased a few people and asked why they hadn't given their support yet, the main response was that they forgot, or just didn't have time. So I figured a subtle reminder was in order
Yes - 'popup' dialogs are annoying, but it's also annoying to see many people bust their ass for years to finally drag some key acknowledgements out of the department, only to then see only a few hundred people actually support that. Moreover when I know there are literally thousands of visitors to this site every day.
If you ride off road in NSW this surely affects you. Sorry for the none too subtle reminder, but please... take that 30 seconds and add your voice.
