Awaba Red Loop Hot lap
First time back at Awaba since September 2012.
This was around the time I got a roadie. Ive since been putting in quite a bit of training on the roadie.
Looks to be paying off.
my hot lap back then was a 36:25.
was hoping to get into the 35's, so very happy to get into the 34s
Camel Back
Track was in great condition, weather was nice & cool.
perfect conditions really.
was a great day @ one of my favourite tracks.
thought id have a sprint up camel back.
pretty happy considering i struggled to make it up there without stopping 18 months ago.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for continuing to watch my movies. Here's a quick one with a bit of action from everywhere around Sydney:

MTB Jerseys
Does anyone know of any good companies to get custom made mtb jerseys? Ideally more than just placing a a graphic on various selections of template jerseys.
Crowd Source Funding of Trails
Do you think 200 people would donate $100 if the outcome was formally managed and properly built trails at Red Hill?
The funding is mainly to get environmental studies completed.
$100 is less than many bike parts and you get a trail network.
Red Hill update for 24 Jun
Rode Red Hill on Sunday in atrocious conditions. Water was flowing down the trails. Heaps of water erosion and exposed rocks. Rough as guts. Will need a week of sun to dry it up. I then reckon it'll be loose as with heaps of pebble and rocks from the amount of water that's run through there.
Do you have more information?

Nobby Nicks....
Well I remember reading here that these tyres should be run contrary to the recommended direction (as per the tyre itself) and manufacturers recommendations. I have these on the front of my bike and have been running them conventionally ( as recommended). Does any one have anecdotal evidence or real evidence that running them contrary works better for this tyre.
So far I'm really enjoying it upfront...given me heaps of confidence on the bendz, great shedder and roll OK.
Love to hear your input.
Cheers
Which carbon 29er?
With the Aussie heading south against the greenback as the US economy starts to wake up, I'm looking to bring forward my purchase of a 29er dually.
I've narrowed it down to two candidates, one I've ridden the other not.
Video Fullers Rd Res Downhill - Fred Caterson Res - Featuring Nthn Beaches Rider Pete?? who I met on the trail
Someone might be able to confirm that this riders name was Pete (my memory is poor) and loop him in on this video.
He was riding a Kona with Maxxis Ardent tyres - is a Northern Beaches local but currently between places and staying in the Hills area.
I thought he might like to see the video I took of him descending the downhill at Fullers Rd Reserve in the area around Fred Caterson Reserve.
Also thanks for the Tip on Linksley Reserve trail - I climbed all the way up to the backyard and had a chat to the guy who built the descent.

Just in case it's not bleeding obvious, it's wet. Very wet and while the official Twitter notification hasn't been updated yet, consider the trail CLOSED until further notice. (It's now OFFICIALLY CLOSED peeps!)
