Skippy rides a Cannondale
Has anybody seen this week's Meldrum's Manifesto cartoon taking the piss out of the trail access debate in today's Manly Daily?
On the right is a sign saying "National Park and Animal Sanctuary: Absolutely and Utterly NO Mountain Bikes". Two rangers are looking at each other with their eyes bulging in shock. The subject of their amazement is a kangaroo smirking at them with a cheeky grin, sailing through the air over their heads on a yellow hardtail with a Headshok fork.
Ranger Left says to Ranger Right "I think I'm just gonna try to forget I ever SAW that..."

How NOT to take care of an injury
I thought I share a story with fellow rides to ensure none of you make the same mistake I've made.
A while ago I had a violent stack with the associated damage to myself such as concussion, torn ligaments, bone crack, bruising, torn calf etc. We all know this can happen when you stack and that is part of the thrill of MTB.
Treating the injuries when we get home is perhaps something not everyone is clued up on, I certianly was now. I think most people know to put ice on the injury, rise it, put a bandage on it and rest. And that is exactly what I did.
Glenrcok Draft POM process update
Just a quick update for those of you who took the time to put in a submission to the draft Glenrock POM.
Speaking to NPWS there were over 180 submissions to the proposal, with the vast majority being pro mtb access.
From a mtb stand point, the submissions were positive with the main concern raised being access to the southern area of the park. What NPWS do with this, I don't know, but I am quietly confident that the southern boundary, while not being removed, may be amended. Time will tell.

The most (anti ?) social ride this year
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Coming from Sydney, drive into Queenbeyan, turn left at the roundabout where Red Rooster is and stay on this road for about 11km. Park on the side of the road where the gate is. For better directions try this link CORC: Events: Race Venues.
I have to be an optimistic bugger , or perhaps i should just face facts , i have no friends here .... but thats ok , i can ride into the sunset at Sparrow hill to my hearts content building a platform on my way to glory at the Scott 24 in October in our very competitive team El Rancho Relaxo . My plan tonight is to ride for about two hours here and get a feed ( red rooster , why change) and scoot off to Stromlo for a standard Green Loop flyer ( working on a sub 40 min night lap ) and then try to beat it for another one ... Any takers ??
Very important note !!!
