Is it just me or is it a guy thing or what?
OK so I am curious to get some views on 'social riding".
Christine is frequently seen to talk about this phenomenon, and I must say I have heard of it often, and tried to do it myself, usually at the request of others.
But here is the problem - I can't seem to do it. While those who have ridden with me may well say that my pace is at best a social one, since I am old and decrepit, nevertheless I have only one speed - as fast as I can possibly go in the conditions presented.
is this the Scott 24hr
just wondering if this is the Scott 24hr that Snoaring Forties might be entering as I think I'm supposed to be in that.

Turn on OSM (Open Street Map) and cycle/walk auto routing (in the right sidebar) and the cycle layer (right button on the map).
Exposure Lights AAA Service
While we're on the topic of lights, I too have a good news story - this time about Exposure Lights. My smart charger decided to be smart no more and died in the arse. I rang Exposure Lights tonight in the UK and 1% of their chargers appear to be faulty. They have sent me a replacement express post. Service was second to none....and I can't recommend these lights highly enough. No cables, no external battery and as bright as hell. And they've just released a 4 LED light...as if the the 3 LED wasn't bright enough???
Anyway, Exposure Lights get a big tick from me.
Cheers, Mick
Big ups to Ayups
Gday Crew,
After much fiddling, may set of ayups(over a year old)
Battery leads and/or connections were becoming a bit temperamental
Working then cutting out a high speed, off / on, etc you get the idea
Rang and spoke to Ayup, "yeah mate send them up, we'll have a look at them"
Sent them to Ayup, after a week (a week ago), rang and finally got a answer
They had received them and were going to have a look, THEN
Today I received an email with the following:
did you know...
You lot may already be up on this but it was news to me... Mum said today on the radio they said Red Hill, Oxford Falls West and Lizard Rock are all saved from being devloped for the next 10 years!
What a relief I don't have to leave Sydney for 10 years if I don't want to!!!

Chainrings and compatability with Race Face Evolve
I have a Race Face Evolve crankset which needs new middle and big chainrings. This will be the second time in 18months. I'm not altogether keen on the wear rate of the Race Face rings and was wondering if I can put on other brands ie, XT
Anybody done this?

20" shorts from Clarence st Cyclery ?
Hi all,
does anyone recall the "20 Inch" brand cargo shorts which were sold at Clarence St Cyclery in black and beige. Apparently it wasn't really part of the store and they were found downstairs in the workshop.
I got a pair and as they are wearing wanted to get some more but they are no longer sold. No one seems to know who the seller is and where they might still be stocked. The internet hasn't thrown up anything either.
Can anyone help ?
Cheers
