Magpies @#@#!$ahhhh
Hi All,
can anyone suggest something/anything to deter magpies from swooping me.
Did a 30km commute this morning and got swooped on 4 separate occasions. one of the times was down a hill at 60km/h with a trail of cars behind me (must of been very ammusing for them).
Anyway any tips?

The Oaks - Up and Down Training ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
I’m planning on riding The Oaks from Glenbrook Station to Woodford and back for some pain endurance training for The Fling. I’ll try to avoid stopping as much as possible, but knowing my current fitness level this does not mean much. Meeting point is the parking lot in front of Glenbrook station.
Rear Shock Issue
Hi Guys/Girls, First time poster, long time reader.
Could anyone help me with the following issue in regards to my rear shock Rock Shox MC 3.1 which has started to squeak quite loudly in the first 1-2 mm of travel.
I've cleaned the outer of the rear shock and tried taking out all the air pressure, inverting the bike and cycling the rear shock a couple of times and that removed the squeak (i think the cycling of the shock travel a couple of times has rebathed the internals with shock oil).
Forks wanted
Wondering if somone out there has a set of 100-125mm forks in good condition for sale or trade.... Wanting to put them on my n+1....
Write and write some more
There seems to be little action here, so thought I should mention a bit of news from a while back.
Earlier this year I wrote to NSW NPWS regarding their maps of Ku-ring-gai and Garigal National Parks. I mentioned that these maps didn't show many trails that one can ride with the NPWS blessing. I explained how there were loads of fire trails in these parks that I knew were wide open roads that one could easily drive down, and ask if that's the case how come riding isn't permitted there.
Looking for some easy trails....Southern End of Royal National Park...
Will be heading down to Helensburg on Sunday morning...was wondering if anyone knows trails that side of the park...
Willing to do a little exploring round there but taking it real easy like! 
Bike carrier
Ladies & Gents,
I'll have to buy a bike carrier (hoping that my dear wife will join now that we have successfully procured a baby seat for my bike).
I am looking for a specific type (if I can get it): it should go into the tow bar hitch, and should support the wheels rather than suspending the bikes from a top mount. 2, better 3 bikes capacity.
I noticed something like that on the back of a white pickup; not sure who it belongs to but I think the gent joined one of the night rides, too.
Many thanks in advance for hints re who manufactures such a carrier, and where to buy.
Cheers
Which NSW NPWS anual permit do you have on your car? Or excuse for not having?
Brisbane Water NP
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Woy Woy Road, Brisbane Water National Park. Tunnel Track trail head.
Note the move to 8:30am.
Time for a bit of exploration. Brisbane Water National Park has loads of fire trail at least marked on the map. Time to take a look-see.
Tunnel Track seems to start about half way into the park so is probably as good a place as any to meet.
Will try and figure out a decent route, but as usual for an exploration there'll be a lot of playing things by ear.
As this is an exploration don't come if being lost worries you and allow food/water/time for at least 50Km of riding over several hours.
