Yellomundee Regional Park update for 02 Jul

Status: 
Green/Open

Technical area on the right-hand side by the car park is nice, dry & dusty. Some sections have had the topsoil washed away due to recent rains and is quite sketchy. Flowing XC single track on left-hand side of car park is damp but nice and rideable.

Do you have more information?

Manly Dam update for 02 Jul

Area: 
Manly Dam
Status: 
Red/Closed

We were on the Allambie side today marking out locations for rocks to reduce trail widening, and the place is a mess. Lots of water and puddles in all of the usual places.

The bottom of 19th Hole is a baby-poo-brown clay bog, and the erosion and drop-off at the bottom of the last roll-down is quite severe. We saw quite a few riders almost nose-wheelie through the landing.

The loop around the back of the houses at Cootamundra Drive is a quagmire with a sudden front-wheel-swallowing puddle if you're unfortunate enough to pick the wrong line.

If the above is any indication of the condition of the rest of the track, it has to be a red.

Give it a few days at least, preferably a week.

I absolutely love that single track at the end.

My second ride where I averaged 20km+/h

Spoke tightening

I've noticed I've got a couple of spokes that aren't as tight as the rest.

What's the procedure for tightening them? Is it as simple as taking the tyre and tube off, gripping the nipple and tightening the screw? Only reason I ask is that I don't want to pull the wheel out of true.

Great North Road Training Ride - Take 2

Haven't been up there since the infamous Easter Monday GNR Training Ride over Easter (http://nobmob.com/node/20709)

Looking to do around 50 k's at a fairly brisk pace - more of a training ride rather than social. Heading out GNR about 25 km out and back, return via Shepherds Gully descent, then back along the road to the ferry.

Lets keep fingers crossed for some sunshine on this ride ! Smiling
