Permission denied?
Hi there. Just wondering if someone might be able to explain why I'm getting "Access denied... Sorry, but the page you are trying to view is not publicly available." messages when going to certain threads, most notably from the "Latest comments" section on the main page. An example is this link here... I can't get to it : http://nobmob.com/node/10612#comment-37160 This is not the first time this has happened and yes, i am making sure I'm logged in first.... so I don't know what's happening.
broken chain on the 1st km :)
Yeah, I've never even had a puncture while racing (right, I haven't done that much). This year, I broke my chain on the first km! Had a chain breaker and quick link with me, but after playing with it for 10mins gave up and pushed the bike back to finish area to have it fixed:( (Hans, thanks for showing me the other day how it's done. I'll pay more attention next time. Still owe you a quick link - an extra one is in my Camelback for you. Hope to catch up with you soon!)

Getting into endurance races ...
Hi all, quite new to the whole mtb thing this time around although I used to ride a bit many years ago.
So anyway I'm getting right into it again and reading about these endurance events I am really interested in maybe giving one or two a bash. Would love to hear any thoughts, experiences etc around preparation, training, the level of skill and fitness required, and smart ways to work up to these events.
Cheers,
Pete

Please everyone send a favourable reply to this draft, I'm sure many of us would be more inclined to visit Tasmania if this is implemented.
Draft Tasmanian Mountain Bike Plan Released for Public Comment
Sport and Recreation Tasmania has released a Draft Tasmanian Mountain Bike Plan for public comment. Individuals and organisations wishing to provide comment on the Draft Mountain Bike Plan have until 11 October 2009 to provide their submissions.
The Project
Sport and Recreation Tasmania recently engaged consultants from Inspiring Place to develop a state mountain bike plan for Tasmania. The plan, which is expected to be released in August 2009, will provide a framework for the coordinated development and marketing of mountain bike opportunities in Tasmania.
We need to get these people to do a proposal for NSW.
Also much of the draft can be reused in future advocacy work, so maybe even save the pdf

Individuals wishing to provide comment on the Draft Mountain Bike Plan should e-mail the consultants preparing the plan at [email protected] or write to Tasmanian Mountain Bike Plan, Inspiring Place, 208b Collins St, Hobart 7000, by 11 October 2009.
old farts scenic tour of Lidsdale
drove past this area and have been trying to maps google, CTMBC, GEarth it to see what's there.
and youtube vids just make even the newbie in me drool.
A view from the other side - the Marshall's Art
Due to a general lack of pre-race training, I decided it was probably best if I gave this year's event a miss. Since the family had already arranged accomodation for the weekend, I thought it might be my turn to give something back to the sport, so I volunteered my services to AROC.
After a hectic Saturday afternoon on the rego desk (made even more hectic by the near gale force winds!), I was allocated my marshall station for Sunday's event. No detailed briefing - the riders were joining a road; just warn drivers. Everything else was pretty much going to be winging it.
Nasho at night
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Usually Loftus Oval, Sutherland, just off the Princes Highway.
im going for a spin in the dark, any takers?
Warning: Multiple car break-in's today at Yellomundee
Went to ride at Yellomundee today ( tuesday) at about 3pm. My first time there. Parked at the suggested parking area. Several cars were parked there with other riders coming and going (about 6 cars) .
After returning to the cars at 16h15, we found 2 cars broken into and one attempted. Rocks had been thrown through the windows of a Subaru and a Holden and all valuables and bags inside were stolen. The holden also had the door handle broken, the door frame bent by a rock and the windscreen smashed.
