Trail for 7 year old?
Beyond Terrey Hills and the local BMX track (which may be too wet), anyone have any suggestions for kid friendly trails/tracks for 7 year old ? Does Ourimbah have anything like this?

Carbon Hardtails....
What are people's thoughts on a carbon hardtail (e.g Scott Scale 20/30) as a second bike for use in races, flat trails ?
I currently have a dual suspension which serves me well today but thinking of a much lighter second bike for use round the Dam, Ourimbah and events such as Dirtworks, Highland Fling etc.
For those of you who have both a dualie and hardtail what would you use around the above tracks ?

So near but so far.....
oh man! I felt great, attacked on the 2nd loop and was leading the race by nearly a minute at the start of the 3rd loop. I checked my shoulder and saw the chase group. By the bottom of the big climb (the water crossing) they had caught me. I couldnt go with Rowney or Miller, but managed to keep the distance from growing. From the top, I was flat out, and saw 2nd place the whole way home. 15seconds ahead, and I could do nothing about it!
Still - delighted with 3rd.
It was a hell of a race and one of my favourites.

Manly Dam update for 28 Jul
I've not ridden there recently but after today's constant rain and the fact that it hadn't dried properly after the last lot, the track will definitely be a red staus.

gear choice and pedaling technique?
with regards to beanie's post about 1 x 9, i'm getting a little confused with which is the best gear to be getting more speed with i've only recently started using the big ring, because after sitting in middle ring and smallest cog after a while there's less resistance and i seem to spin the legs and feel no gain, so then switch to big ring and get a, or what seems like a slower rotation but more resistance to work against and then the other scenario is getting half way up the hill and then struggling to keep pedaling momentum by making a too complicated gear change half way up, so was just wo
