Angry Doctor 100km first time - advice needed.
Well, I've been riding for a while, but not this far. I ride for fun at Awaba and Ourimbah, but this 100km event has me a little worried. 50km would be fun! 100km? Why did I bother listening to you Andrew..... So, any advice?
1- Is there overtaking/passing etiquette?
2 - Do I really need some vasoline?
3 - Dust mask?
4 - Extra equipment to carry besides chain lube, tyre puncture repair kit, etc ?
East Lake Jindy
Someone asked about this on the ride today (riding in Jindy that is).
Here's some pics:

Interestingly I read that they have recently secured funding for some new trails in the area, see:
Wingello State Forest update for 02 Jul
Took a lap around the Red ring on Wednesday. It was in good condition and no water on the trails. Well worth the trip down there.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.

Lane Cove National Park update for 02 Jul
There is now one major track closure (the old major concreted hill climb off the track that links up Browns Waterhole and Robin Ave in South Turramurra). This limits your options to string together any nice flowing loops without a fair bit of portage. I don't think I will be aiming to ride here for a few weeks. The bridge that was washed away has yet to be replaced, however it can now be ridden, so it's not much of an issue. The rest of the track seems to have drained well. Also rode around the back of the university on the single trail, which has grown over a lot.

New event??
From BlackHeart Events:
"Keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for a big announcement on a future event. 100km? 100 miles? Bigger? All will be revealed soon, but it's going to be a corker!"
Interesting....
Email response to wet weather
I sent an email a couple weeks back when we had all the wet weather about the fact that the dam wasnt actually closed, finally got a response.
Apparently all that rain, hadn't "adversley affected the track".
Lefty Hub with QR
Something new that has been developed. Good if you have a lefty and need to remove your wheel for transport.
Manly Dam on Sunday
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Time to get the fitness up again...and blow out the cobwebs! 
I'm doing a couple of easy Manly Dam laps with 2 mates. Come along - the more the merrier!
See you on Sunday 11:30 am at the Hydro Lab.
Cheers, Hans

Happiness is a warm shock...
Anyone ridden Red Hill lately?
Just wondering what is the state of the trails? Seeing it's been dry for a week or so, hopefully it's ok.
