Advice about being caught speeding: Can cops REALLY tell how fast you're going if they're driving towards you?!
Another minor sting in the tail of Angry Dr. was that I got caught speeding on the way down.
Was I speeding? Maybe.
The cop car was travelling in the opposite direction and claims to have caught me whilst he was in motion using his nightrider style car.
Has anyone else been caught speeding like this? Is this possible?

Del Sin
The State Track
It's short, it's rocky, it's steep....
It's got a prick of a push up from the shuttle road to the trail head but worth every bit of effort

Mountain bike riders set to blaze a trail through national parks
SYDNEY'S mountain bikers have always been hampered by one thing - a conspicuous lack of proper mountain trails.
Instead they have independently, usually illegally, carved their own tracks through national parks around the city fringes.
This could be about to change, with the state government to release a discussion paper today on ways of balancing the needs of the state's 30,000 dedicated mountain bike riders with those of people who go to national parks for the trees and wildlife, peace and quiet.
From SMH here (took up a good deal of page 3 in print):

DECCW media release is here:

And the paper is supposed to be here from today (not up as of 07:00) here... discussion closes 18 October:
Update: Closing date for comments is now 25 October:
https://mountainbiking.discussions.nsw.gov.au/
I cannot stress enough how important it is that everyone back this initiative! This means comment, comment, comment. Nothing is going to happen unless mountain bike riders show they have the numbers to justify proper facilities.
FWIW, I am meeting a NPWS Director Regional Manager (no longer acting director) this arvo for an informal chat that should now be pretty interesting

Rocky Trail Entertainment Enduro Del Rio
Hey, Is anyone able to give me an idea of what the Del Rio xc course is like. In terms of how technical it is, how does it compare with say yarramundi or ourimbah?
