Royal National Park update for 22 Feb

Status: 
Amber/Some Issues

Rode RNP from Loftus to Heathcote & back last night. The loftus side of Farnell Ave was good. Still some standing water at the bottom of the single just past the new diversion. Nice & tacky thru Blair witch & the run to five ways.

On the Engadine / Heathcote side it was quite damp with a fair bit of standing water & large puddles that got worse & worse towards bottle forest loop. Must of been a good dump of isolated rain in the arvo as I have never seen it so wet up the Heathcote side before.

I would say green on Loftus side of Farnell Ave, Amber on Engadine / Heathcote side.

Nice evening for a ride. Couple of puddles but nothing major. Hill is easier to climb now that the dirt has been compacted.

A BIKE rider, 50, died on the Hornsby mountain bike trail last Saturday.

Police said the Waitara man had previously experienced chest pains and was found collapsed on the southern section of the trail by two riders around 7pm.

They noticed minimal damage to his helmet and bike and performed CPR until ambulance paramedics arrived.

He was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Handlebars

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to replace the handlebars on my Giant XTC hardtail. I've come up with the following options
FSA K-Force
Pro XCR
or
Truvativ Noir T40

I'm looking for a riser set not flat. Anyone had any experience with these bars? Or could anyone recommend a carbon set of bars under $150?

Cheers
Adam

Your best bike for Sydney

Hi guys. Two questions.
1) If you were going to ride one bike in the northern beaches/north shore area that is currently available, what would it be?
2) What do you currently ride, and what is your favourite place to ride it?

I'm in the market for a new mountain bike at the moment after being on road for too long. I'd like to see what people ride, and why they ride it, because its much more interesting than asking what you think I should ride Sticking out tongue

So, I broke my chain

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Riding home on Tuesday (in a rush for dinner with the in-laws) I decided it would be a good idea to do a few quick shifts going up a very short ascent and managed to snap my chain.

Being quite new to the MTB world I thought i'd give it a go fixing the thing on the side of the road with my chainbreaker/pocket tool set on my own. I evenly stupidly declined assistance when a fellow pedaller asked if i was ok.. Thanks if that was you!
