Hello
Just joined. Live in Turramurra, have dual suspension Trek, ride Sunday AM, about 20-30 Km, sometimes during week. Mostly the Lane Cove tracks, Manly Dam and Oxford Falls.
Most interested in other tracks we could ride, no more than I hours drive. Have one beginner in group, but he completed the Manly Dam circuit with only minor injuries and improves weekly.

Coffs Harbour tour guide
Hi there, I am heading up to Coffs for work next week and was going to throw the bike in. Just wondering if any of the locals would be able to show me around some XC trails on Tuesday from about 4:30pm onwards as I have never ridden there before. Can bring lights if required. I am no elite rider but would probably finish in the top half of my race category and up hills don't worry me......you have to go down them at some stage. Cheers

On A Unicycle
My first time ever doing 4 gates...and yes it was on a unicycle! I'm happy with the time but know I can easily knock off 5 minutes...maybe even 10 someday.
Anyone know how much elevation climbing there is? My GPS says 373 meters and just wondering if that's accurate?

Cascades update for 20 Feb
Rode it today and it was great...a few tiny puddles and some soft spots here and there but I'd say green to go. Although with rain forecast for the next 5 days I'm sure it'll change.

Access to LCNP via Vimiera Road
Hi, I heard that the access to LCNP via Vimeria Road under the M2 was closed at some time due to roadwork. Can anyone tell me if this is open ? I am planning to take my wife, daughter there for a cycle, how challenging are the trails there as I havent ridden there before.
Thanks
Doug

No XCM Series for 2013
Just in case you haven't heard. There will be no XCM series for 2013 which is really disappointing. There has been nothing posted on the cyclenation website but they did tweet it was on ice for 2013.

Pedals
Hi all,
I'm a newbie, not been to an orgnaised ride yet, but been doing some road work to start on my fitness.
As a newbie, I started out with the Merida MT 100. It came with the standard metal pedal (the one with spiked grips).
I don't have a pair of the clip on shoes , but am wondering what are the pros/con with using flat pedal vs toe and strap clips vs 'snap on snap off'. And excuse my lack of terminology.
Thanks.

Awaba State Forest update for 19 Feb
Hero dirt. Plus a few small puddles. The track is great but the weather forecast isn't looking so good. The organizers have a tough call to make for Saturday. On a personal note... personal red loop PB.
