stockton beach 4x4 trip
so we decided to try and test the limits of a volvo xc90...
we got bogged....repeatedly.
up until now our testing has served us well and its done much more than we ever imagined from a soft roader but when you flog an engine and a drivetrain for kms along a beach, things start to let up, namely the not so super-duper automatic 4wd engagement unit. i fail to see what's so hard about having a switch to lock it in rather than it thinking for me itself. so the floormats came out along with the spade and the tyres went from an already low 20psi down to 15 and eventually we got out.
Sloooow Terrey Hills
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Back to our roots we go. This is what it's all about. A social ride on the Northern Beaches.
No racing. No Technical stuff. No Speed freaks 
Given the report of not too waterlogged trail a couple of us will be doing Terrey Hills slowly on Saturday. Even the start time is a sociable 10am.
Please 'star' below if you intend to come and say hello.
Manly Dam?
Apologies as im new to this, but can anybody tell me if manly dam is open to ride at the moment?..not really sure where to look for the info, but im sure one of you may know.
New bike and keen to get out!!
Thanks
Question re Kincumber
Hi All
My son and I are on the Central Coast tomorrow and Friday and I am thinking of having a quick look at Kincumber.
I followed with interest the thread regarding the ride there and have a bit of an idea of where the trails are from the maps etc.
My question is: if you only have say an hour to an hour and a half, which is the best area on the map for a bit of single track joy?
Is it the stuff to the north east? or the trails to west north west of the picnic area at the top of Island View drive?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
John
How much is that Doggy in the window
Has anyone got a good idea where I can find a price list on second hand bikes ? I like this bike on ebay, yes we have all been there, and want to know if this is a good deal or not. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Rich
Anybody for Sunday the 15th?
Hiya!
Just wondering if anybody is interested in doing a ride on Sunday?
Same story as for Saturday: somewhere dryish, riding for a few hours not tooooo far away...
Would love to go to Kincumber, missed out last time, even though it seems stupid to do the same ride on two consecuitve days.
Also possible: The Oaks, Ourimbah, Wisemans Ferry , somewhere south?, or maybe just Terry Hills (wasn't too bad even in the rain last time)...
Ideas...?
Cheers

Sat 14th July - cancelled
Hi all,
I've deleted the calendar entry for this ride, I will see you all at the Sunday hit-out instead. PM's have gone out to all those who opted-in to advise.
cheers,
Gilbo.
Putting out the feelers for thoughts on a destination for this Saturday.
Thoughts are; some sweet singletrack -
1. Back to Kincumber to ride the trails from last week and explore some more, or
2. Lidsdale - need I say more?
Any other suggestions?
**Update - based on replies recieved, ive created a ride entry on the calendar for Kincumber
Manly Night Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Another bit of a social hit out, somewhere different for a change.
No Pub at the end so don't forget to BYO, maybe the rock along the golf course sniggle would be a good spot.
At the moment no plans to do Bantry Bay but we can decide on the night depending on who is there.
Caro I could lend you some lights if you want to borrow the rush again and show us all how to get down the B line.
Yes that is quarter to eight at night, 7.45pm, 19.45, 4hr 15mins before Wednesday for all those so inclined.
