Cycling Express
Just over three weeks ago I placed a parts order with Cycling Express - I'm still waiting for the parts. When I chased up the order I was told some of the items were out of stock, although there was no indication of this when I placed the order. My last email asking for an update went unanswered.
I chose to use Cycling Express over Chain Reaction, and was even willing to pay a bit more to support an Aussie company. But in my experience the service from Chain Reaction is so much better and faster. My last order with Cycling Express took about 6 weeks to ship from memory.

Council gone mad?
I can't believe Warringah Council has opened the Dam again after all this rain (posted on Facebook yesterday). You only need to drive around the area to see all the water still seeping out of the ground. Even at the Wakehurst Parkway entrance where they've taken down where closed sign is a massive puddle.
Obviously they have lower standards than the informed MTB community.
Urban race
What do you think of a MTB race in the CDB?
I've done one some time ago (90s) in my hometown (event was called 'Grand Prix VTT de Genève') and have great memory of it. We had to go up in old city, ride on pavements roads, and go down true some mad sets of stairs etc… I did it first as part of state series, but then I've enrolled last minute for a 4hrs team race which was the best part of the race day.
How crazy would it be to do this in Sydney?
Here some 'vintage' pics i could find
Manly Dam update for 02 Jul
Passed by there today and the 'Park Closed' signs are up.
Hardly surprising given the rain over the last two weeks.

Bobbin Head update for 02 Jul
Still a bit of water seeping across the ridge top track in a few places and some wet spots on the downhill, but overall not too bad.

'13 Aust MTB champs location
I have a week off (only :S) in July between my internship placement and commencement of uni, and am going up to the Cairns area, closer to Atherton.
Was just wondering if anyone around here had done the Australian champs up in the same area; just wondering if someone knew the area where they were held; would be keen to check it out. Still not sure if I'll be hiring a bike and what not, but am curious to see the area, even if it is without a bike!
Cheers!

Hardtail 29er
I am looking to purchase a 29er hardtail for easy flowing fire trail type events. I currently ride a trek fuel ex8 which I absolutely love and is one of the smoothest and nicest climbers I have ever ridden. So looking at the bike I have, how much would I be looking at for a similar quality hardtail 29er. I am not a one trick pony trek man so I am open to what your opinions but I am looking for value/$.
Ride Sydney Nth to Avoca - any good tracks on the way
Hi, I need to go to Avoca from near Manly Dam this Friday or Sat. I was thinking of riding up.
Opt 1 is via Bobbin Head & the Old Pacific Highway. Anyone know of some good tracks on the way to make it a bit more interesting - nothing too technical given I'll be doing about 100km.
Opt 2 is via Terrry Hills tracks then out to Palm Beach - Ettalong Ferry.
Any thoughts or other suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
