You don't have to understand what they are saying - one thing is clear - these are the "in colours" for Autumn '09 
Plus ...it goes to show that (german) white men can dance!

Sparrow Hill and Stromlo Blow the Cobwebs off ride
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 will be trying to revisit the Mont course , if i dont get lost .....18 k'S of sweet single track if not just ride / explore the best trails around for an hour or two or three.... after this i will need to feed ...Gluten free red rooster fills the belly here
And all going well scoot off to Stromlo for a hot lap of the Std XC Course ( well not that hot at 45-47 min night laps for me ) If there is anyone here to keep me company i could be convinced to explore some more but as the place feels to me like Wolf Creek at night, on my own i only have the courage to bolt around one time
Manly Dam Maintenence
Just a heads up... spoke to one of the rangers at Manly Dam just now and he says they will be posting out details of some trail days in the next month or so.
The track needs a lot of work so here's hoping!

Brake pad wear
Hi
I'm seeking advice on brake pad wear if I can please as I seem to be wearing through brake pads very quickly! In fact I have just gone through both front and rear pads over 5 rides and about 70km. Most of the riding has been XC style - tracks such as Terrey Hills, Cascades, and one lap of Manly Dam.
Prior to this I went through rear pads and 75% front over 12 rides and about 130km.
Post Mont Crash
Someone was talking about a crash on the way home from the Mont. Here's some evidence why it's a bit silly to do 24 hour races and drive home tired. Always take a spare driver (or more than one) and stop if you're tired!

Ouch!
7000lm light anyone?
This is rather amusing... it's an 100W LED which is actually a grid of 1W LEDs. These are designed for street lighting, but... meh... this guy put one on his bike:
There's loads of gumf on this here:

For amusement, here's the thing compared with the dude's car headlights on main beam (100W each he says), note the LED on the right is many times brighter:
DIY Shoe Shields
The shoe shields protecting my Northwave Carbon shoes are almost worn out so figure it's time for some new ones. You know - shoe shields - protection plates that sit between the cleat and shoe to stop crank bros eggbeater pedals damaging the sole of your fancy carbon shoes.
Anyhow - I have some thin aluminum lying around and wondered how easy it might be to make some though.
A quick Google found someone else has had the same idea:
CRC purchases
Gday Crew
Anyone considering buying from CRC
I'd be keen to go in on a buy to get free shipping
looking to spend $80-100 on some tyres
Please let me know
nothing urgent
Cheers Paul
