What I Miss
I haven't been here for a long time now, ive moved to a town near Port Macquarie. Although there are some great locations to ride ,and im yet to find them all, here's what I miss about Sydney riding.
Red Hill, man I miss that joint, I aint seen variety like that here yet.Sydney sandstone, aint none of that here either.Sydney siders on the northern beaches are very lucky to have what you have there. Cherish it , and if someone could do a lap of Red Hill for me , that'll be great.
Just did Rotorua for a week,..... MAN IT WAS SICK...!!!.get over there.
Take care Nobmober's

Steel 29-er
I’m interested in a getting a steel 29-er hardtail – preferably single-speed with option to run gears. Particularly keen on Niner SIR9 or Ritchey P-29er.
Does anyone have one of these I could please sling a leg over and ride around the block, or even better a steel 29-er they are thinking of selling? I prefer the XC bent as opposed to hardcore hardtail flavour. Medium size required (5’10”)
Thank you!
Convict 100 2016 - 1st non 'Elite' - 6th overall
Hi all,
You guys don't know me, but I keep a blog on my website and thought I would share in case anyone was interested - ridingforcancer.com
Saturday 30 April 2016. Back to the scene of my hardest day on the bike - the Convict 100.
I attempted the Convict last year in when it was scheduled in August. At that point, I'd only been riding for a handful of months and my longest ride prior was 3 hours and 90km... on the road... That never bodes well for a mountain bike race 100km long, that's expected to take up to 5 hours.

For Sale: Yeti 575 2014 - Large
Enjoyed this bike heaps but found out that the sizing was wrong for me and need a bigger bike.
Wheels are trued, shocks serviced, tyres in very good tread and ready for you to scream down those hills for a bargain.
You can eventually own a Yeti that doesn't eat into your pocket.
Scamming alert - When selling a bike
Trying to sell my bike and straight away I get a weird text saying they want to buy my bike and they live on a remote mining site so they cannot phone you. They are willing to pay you for the asking price using direct bank deposit, using paypal instant wire service blah blah blah....oh and they are already in touch with a courier service now ....but then ask where you live and that you sign off all rights to your bike.
Anyway, as they say if it's too good to be true it is.
I'm English so politely told him to F@#$ off and stop wasting my time.
Cascades update for 02 May
Very wet, stacks of puddles on the Rolstan side of the Heath track. Seems to be more puddles than normal. St Ives side is good.
If you want to trash your bike go for it.

Convict 100 2016 - It was as a late decision - but in the end a good one
As much as I enjoy the Convict I was in 2 minds whether to enter this year. Since completing the Pioneer, and then wrongly deciding to race the Willo a couple of weeks later, I've not really been motivated to train or race. 9 days in UK/France over Easter, and 60 hours of travel in a short time frame, was hard on my body and I returned from that trip feeling very tired and jetlagged.
Stromlo Forest Park update for 02 May
Still dusty, the bit of rain we had did nothing to settle it down. Rode/walked up the aptly named Cardiac Arrest today, well done to anyone who can get up there without dabbing.
