Dry spot for a first ride?
Hoping to take my wife out for her first off-road ride this weekend. Any recommendations for anywhere non-technical that should be dry by Sunday (presuming we don't get hosed between now and then)? Can be up to an hour or so from Sydney. I'm thinking maybe wisemans ferry or the Oaks? Other ideas?

Suntour XCR fork service - need some help
So my forks have not been working well for a while and I should have looked at this a long time ago but I never found the time and just kept riding. Considering these are not expensive forks I figured I might as well learn now before I purchase a new bike and the stakes are higher with more expensive suspension.

Bottled Water is Bad
Seen this?

Bundanoon has banned bottled water, planning to place free water fountains in the streets instead.
Go Huw! Now if only the NSW gov. would follow you on a few other issues.

Rainy Weekend?
What are the chances of getting out this weekend?
After reading Loz's account of the trails last night even if it stops now I can't see things drying out any time soon. Waaaaaaaaaaa!
Perhaps it's just a weekend for staying up all night, enjoying the sport on TV and sleeping in?

I'm an IDIOT and I love awesome people!
So, here is my story.
Monday night was commuting home across the bridge. As I was braking towards the end of the run for the stairs down, I noticed some scratchy feeling/noise coming from my front brakes.... As I was pulling up to the ramp was deciding whether to go ahead riding down or not and at the last minute pulled off and walked down. Checked the issue at the bottom and found that 1 of my pads were down to the metal so lucky I didn't ride down!
OK so no dramas, its an uphill grind home anyway. Get home, replace 1 pad and leave the other half worn pad in there. Works a treat.
