My BRAND new carbon Gary Fisher 29er (17 inch, hardtail) stolen at 08h15 this morning (Thursday 9th Sept) from literally under my nose on top floor at Genius Bar, Sydney Apple Store, cnr King & George Street. As bike has not even done 100km, there are no ID markings; covered by Frameskin; saddle is Selle SMP Lite 209. A well-earned birthday present. PLEEEZ report any suspicious behaviour; Police dealing with the case. My mob no 0418 617 449 and email [email protected]. Thanks for any insights; I am GUTTED!!
Fri 10th Sept - photo's added of bike and customised saddle
My PB on a 26" unicycle!
I have been trying to break my record now for over 2 years and figured I never would as the track is getting harder due to erosion and I'm getting older. But with the help of another unicyclist that pushed me, I finally was able to beat it by 40 seconds! My friend did it in about 48 minutes and I came 30 seconds later. We were both on 26" Schlumpf Unicycles with 137mm cranks (Schlumpf is a geared hub which has 2 gears).
I'm not one to toot my own horn but toot toot!

Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
Do some varied riding , make up for lack of Angry Doc. Some tech and single track....No sand..or pink rock.
Scott 24 ride
Any Scott 24hr 4 or 6 person teams looking for an additional rider or replacement?
I need a ride for this year, have done last few Monts and Scott 24's and don't want to miss out in 2010.
Prefer to run in a competitive team, but any offer considered.

When the hydraulic system was invented, it was braking news.
Q: When is a bike not a bike?
A: When it turns into a road.
Murphy's Bike Law #1: The ride you forget to take a spare tube is the ride where you get a flat tyre.
Murphy's Bike Law #2: The sooner an important event is scheduled after your ride is proportional to the likelihood of an unfixable mechanical occuring during a ride.
Comments for Mowbray Park Reserve Action Plan Close Friday
In case you didn't notice, Cadam posted earlier:
Willoughby Council is asking for comment for the Draft Reserve Action Plan for Mowbray Park. This area contains some potential XC and even DH areas and is just outside of Chatswood. Even though MTB is not mentioned in the plan itself, it's open for the community to comment and is an oppurtune time to let council know about the need for MTB trails in the area.
Comments close on Friday (September 10) so if you can write in and let council know more MTB facilities are needed on the North Shore now's a good time. Full details and discussion here:

Wahroonga Trailbusters
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Grosvenor St, Wahroonga
Just planned to go for a quick run through this network of firetrail (and a bit of singletrack). I'm not planning to go at super speeds, but would prefer to do it at a fairly effecient pace.
Not quite sure of the exact route, though intend to go to Marrua Road through the tracks and ride back via the roads. There are numerous exits, so one of them may be selected instead.
