Pinch Ride Info
Rob
I am planning to do the Pinch Ride at the end of this month and would appreciate any hard worn info you could provide about the possibilty of exiting by the Native Dog Trail and pick up arrangements from the Barry Way................JONZZ
Booralie Demise
Sad times 
As part of the ride today we eventually found our way to Waratah Park (aka. the Koala park - end of Namba Road, Duffys Forest). The Booralie trail was probably dissected many years ago to make way for the park, and as we note there's a dirty great electric fence around it blocking this trail. You used to be able to follow the fence line and pick up other side though.
Time & Tires
So, it's 4:23pm and I've been up since 6:30am, and all that has happened is:
- Have breakie, shower, dress, go for a ride.
- Come home, very quick snack.
- Strip & clean bike. It was filthy, even though it got a good soaking with clean water after the ride you could hardly tell.
- Rotate tires. Damn! These UST just won't reseal without a decent compressor if they aren't new... involved a trip to the servo.
- Shower & change again. Ahhh... human at last! 
Nepal MTB - check those trails
Nepal MTB - check those trails - there's a 800 mtr downhill section beyond this ridge!
Nepal MTB - on top of the ridge, after 1200 mtr climb
finally reaching the top of the ridge - after a keen 1200 mtr climb (...like Cascades x 5)...Tangi pointing towards the Annapurna range (bit un-seasonally hazy - hard to see in this pic)
Fixing a flat in Nepal
Tangi, our trusty guide (frenchman, ex pro MTB champ, living in Nepal for over 5 years) fixing a flat in less than 5 mins. Local kids look on...
Nepal Mountain biking
Getting ready for the downhill section - see the lake in the background - drop by 1000 mtrs for the next hour.
