6 seconds off sub 30...
Felt like a fang. Caught up with skippy and his mates on dh. Ran presses too high today, struggled with cornering.

Manly Dam Multi-lap Mash
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Looking to do a few (say 3) laps of Manly Dam on Sunday and some compamy would be welcome. I usually lap in the low 40s. The aim is to ride the lap non stop with regrouping at the hydro lab or Wakehurst parkway.
See you there

Quad
Funnily enough I was talking to a friend the other day about something like this...

Basically, an autonomous quadcopter that follows you around filming your every move. Needs work to be able to keep up with a cyclist, but how hard can that be?

Withdrawn: Shimano XT Cranks M 770 175mm w/ 22/32/44 9speed
Shimano XT M770 9 speed Crankset 22/33/44 rings. 175mm so will fit pretty much any size bike or rider.
In good nick, just replaced pinch bolt, preload cap and lock plate as they went missing while sitting in the garage for a year.
They're in good condition with all the usual scrapes that a set of used XT Cranks should have.
$100 ONO.

Lance Armstrong ;)
Adaptation from a classic joke, thought it may cause some amusement in an otherwise grim situation:
"A MAN DIED and was confronted by his Almighty Maker. He watched God take a clock off the shelf of a countless number of other clocks. The analogue clock was showing 12:10 and it had his name engraved in it.
“Not perfect, but pretty good,“ God said, and explained, “I have a clock for everyone. It is programmed to move forward 15 seconds each time the subject lies.“
The man stood in the room whilst God went into his office to get further records of the man.

Session
Is is possible to make the login session longer? I get logout after ~2 days… unless it's because I access NobMob from work too…? Which in this case, it would be nice to stay logged in on both.
ie. yes, I'm a lazy user that prefers more to click that type J
