Bye Nicole
I bumped into Nicole on Saturday during a Manly dam lap (whilst attempting the remove the majority of epidermis from my knees (but that’s not for here). I mentioned how well the recent maintenance day seems to have served the circuit and she agreed.
However she won’t be organising any more trail days as she is off to another position.

Terrey Hills Blast-Cancelled
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills shops. So shoot me!
A speedy (?) night lap to work on the fitness levels ready for coming events. Firetrail to the lookout and back (not the road), minimal stops, no pub for me as I have to get back to Hornsby Hts and start work early. This run has been done at 19-20k's an hour which is a good target. Will try to make it a regular 'coz it will be easy to compare progress each week. I don't want to sound like an unsociable git by posting this as I will be joining other social rides, but I can only do 1 ride during the week at the moment and I'd like to make it count!...

Woodford railway station on the south side
The plan, park at Woodford station take the train to Wentworth Falls, ride Andersons and have a break for some early lunch before doing up to 3 hrs of really good single track/fire roads in the Hazelbrook/Lawson area, the folk that did the mid Mountain tour are familiar with this area, but We will be doing the improved loop that I've been riding with sweet flowing single track, water bars and some technical up and down (for Liam). Then back to the cars and drive to the camping spot (no fees type) with drop toilet.

Found this little gem of info while researching a new, more ergonomic saddle to replace my stock Specialized "Rival 130" seat...what is your experience with the below / recommendation for seats? Thx.

One of many silly machines found in his gallery:

Seems this was ridden by Bruce Bursford, a dude who holds a record or two, particularly for riding on rollers:
