First tentative pootle around the neighbourhood
As some of you may know, I had a nasty dislocation back in March that required a shoulder reconstruction in May. Not as nasty as CB's crash, but not trivial either.
Today, in between rainshowers, I took the Jekyll out for a gentle ride around the neighbourhood to stretch the legs and check out the upgrades I put on the bike over winter:
* 2009 130mm Lefty PBR fork
* Manitou Swinger 3-way shock
* Bontrager tubeless conversion kit
* Ignitor 26"x2.35" tubeless both ends
* New middle ring, chain and cassette
* New DMR Wing Bars 31.8mm x 640mm wide
* 100mm stem to suit

rides near Picton / Tahmoor / Razorback or close by?
Hi all
I just moved out to Picton and was keen to find some local riders and trails in the area or within 30mins drive.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Paul.

OT: Wet Dream video trailer
This reminds me of certain Free Ride MTB movies....
This is the trailer for the full video, "Wet Dream Result," a film of vast importance to all humanity, and a tribute to those who push the limits so hard that the limits are like, "Ow! Stop pushing me!"
Enjoy!

Pine Creek update for 04 Oct
All tracks in the NE corner open as of 1/10 - trail bike erosion can be quite bad on some of the single track within the Gordon's Road/Red Hill Rd/Glennnifer Rd loop (called Ratchet).

Saturday 3rd October - Quite a few puddles, nothing too deep but on a fair bit of the single track there are puddles the width of the track and the lines are starting to go wider with people avoiding.

Hydro discs with drop bars?
In case anyone doesn't know, Travis Brown rode a drop bar MTB at this years Leadville (see http://www.velonews.com/article/96645). However, Travis was stuck with cable discs as he wasn't as inventive as the guy who came up with this:
In case you can't quite make it out, the cables from the drop levers are fixed to pull the hyrdo levers fixed on the top of the bars (where cross-top brakes sit on my crosser).

please help us...for a great cause...

In March this year, we were the top fundraisers, raising over $1,000 for charity and this time were going to go better.
Mid November we head off on another adventure, similar to the amazing race, which has a six hour time limit and approximately 15 checkpoints, covering sydney CBD and surrounding suburbs.
Each time we generaly place in the top quarter of the field (out of over 300 teams) and cover over 20km in under 3 hours.
