Manly Dam update for 12 Oct
Good Day,
Road the Dam last night after work (11th October 2011) and it was all good, a bit water here and there, but easy to pass by.
Enjoy the best riding time / weather of the year.
Prost!

Hill training
I know there's some people on here that like to do hill repeats so I'm after best practice.
If I'm mountain biking and going up a hill then I'm going to spinning my legs like hell in a nice easy gear.
Now on the road bike lets say up Bobbin head (south side) I can either burn my legs in the big ring or aim for a higher cadence in a lower gear, which is better? What are the benefits of one over the other?
Thoughts please?

Royal National Park update for 11 Oct
Rode there tonight, there's the odd puddle and the rest is nice and dry.

Bianchi gets some love
Just keeping a note of my bike maintenance.
The Bianchi has had some love of late. Last week it got a new front shifter cable and today it got some new front brake pads and cable. First change of these items since new in Sep '07 and many thousands of kays. Last well these crosser things!

Galston Gorge, a blast up and back!
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
Just a quick spin up (and down) the Quarry Road Track before the weekend begins!

I'd rather stay at home than visit dangerous, foreign countries....
This is why I'd rather stay at home than visit dangerous, foreign countries....
Holy Kow!
