Wrist Guards, and the Most Common Mountain Bike Injuries
Wrist guards: I have tried quite a few different wrist guards on my bike: skating, snowboarding, and even expensive mountain-bike specific ones made by 661. I finally settled with some wristguards made by Rollerblade, (already on my second set): http://www.ssb5.net/users/20068/picture_959_1167...
They are very sturdy, and have saved me from a broken wrist I am sure. They are very uncomfortable for the first week or so (sore palm), but after that you don't notice them, now I do +50km of all-mountain riding with them, including technical stuff, no problems. I wear them with gloves that don't have padding on the palm of the hand.

Mildish downhill, nursery rhymes, power lines, up 4wd track, down shute etc.

Another newbie...
Hey Northern Beaches mtb community,
Just a quick email and rambling...to introduce myself.
me = Mtbing for 2 years, entered a few monts, polaris..next challenge is the dirtworks in May.
This seems to be a very well organised forum and I look forward to heading out on a nobmob cycle and discover somewhere other than the favourite manly dam....
Tanya - I think I may have met you on Farkin, we tried to meet up but had crossed wires one day...??

Sunday, 4th ride
Hi everyone!
Need to get back on my bike...and sundays the day!
I'm open for anyhting really, would like to do Oxford Falls again though. Any suggestions, I'm open for them!
Timewise...sometime earlyish would be good to avoid the *maybe* heat.

Saturday ride
Hello!
Ages ago Rob took some of us on a ride from Oxford Falls...we went up Hilversum Cres, down through to join the Five Mile Creek and then finished up with the cross country course - well, I was thinking about doing that this Saturday if anyone is interested...Minus that horrid steep hill which, didn't have a fantastic view at the top!!
We met at the usual spot - I need to do a morning ride but am not really fussed whether it's really early or normal time...
MEEE
Refuel on Sunday
What could be better after a hard ride on Sunday in the Belrose area than to fuel up on a fresh sausage sanga and a cold drink?
Yes thats right, this is an unashamed plug for our schools fundraiser this weekend at Bunnings Belrose. We are trying to raise much needed funds to refurbish the pool that has sat empty for the last 3 1/2 years at my girls primary school. Seems that us Catholics get forgotten by both sides of the political fence when it comes to school funding, but thats another gripe not for here.
Anyway if your anywhere near Belrose Bunnings this Sunday between 8.30 and 3 and are feeling peckish please drop in and grab a feed. If your not feeling peckish, drop in anyway and throw a cold coin our way.
ongoing mooney mooney saga :) --
anyone up for a ride at mooney mooney or ourimbah on sat? i really wanna do ourimbah again, but also wouldnt mind checking out mooney mooney too...
Auckland riding
I'm in Aucland for the next three weekends (with the bike!) and looking for some new riding. I've been and done Woodhill and the other bikeparks spot south of Auckland and have been down to Taupo/Rotorua. I'll hit these spots up again but was wondering if anyone else had hot tips for rides elsewhere in/around Auckland?
Ta,
Matt.
