A New Menace on our Roads
So Spring must be well and truly here/on the way, was out for my normal training ride this morning and on the ride home, I heard the dulcet tones of a familiar foe from last year over my right shoulder, a quick glance and there she was, a magpie swooping in to attack the back of my helmet to defend it's territory from the terrible cyclist.
So watch out people, I know its pretty early in the season for Magpie's however, keep a ear out for their attacking tones and prepare to be bombarded.

Best LBS's on the Central Coast?
I have a friend at Terrigal looking to get into Mountain biking using his Tax retun, He tells me he plans to spend between $2,500 - $4,000. I would like to point him in the right direction. What are the best shops in the area and what range do they stock?
Cheers,
Tim

Manly Dam update for 14 Aug
Single track down to 19th may be closed (sign? - didn't read it properly) this morning, but once travelled, it is not that bad. Few puddles, but nothing too major. Couple of slippery boardwalks and rocks.

Proposed tour of Kiwarrak
Greetings!
I have heard many good things about the Kiwarrak State Forest area, and the pictures of the trails look pretty awesome, if you are into riding technical trails. I have never ridden a see-saw, so that is also something to look forward to. But I guess the trails won't all be technical.
This forum post is really just a question to you all.

Appin ride
We rode 3 laps (27km) of Appin XC track on fri. Was amazed at how good it was - virtually all single track, in very good nick esp given the rain we've had. Great balance of tech rocks up and down, berms, swoopy single track zigs through trees and bushes. Relentless concentration and work out for wrists and abs constantly lifting front wheel over roots and rocks. Fantastic. Def one of best tracks in Sydney area. Will be back.

Price is "ono" and happy to talk turkey and do a special price for a NobMob-er.

A hardvday at the office
Was looking forward to this race. After breaking the 6hr mark last year, I was aiming to to hit somewhere between 5 - 5 1/2 hrs.
Prep before the race was limited to mainly 50km length rides, but thought this would get me through given the course as I remembered was relatively flat.
Arrived Saturday late arvo, registered, and then came the rain. Rain fell pretty heavily for a couple of hours and then eased off during the night. Got to race start next morning and the paddock at the start area looked very boggy - this was going to be a bit different then last year I thought.

Centre Track update for 13 Aug
Damp in patches, but good to go. Lots of small rocks as you would expect.
