Lights - Lupine?
A topic covered a thousand times before, I’m sure, so apologies.
I am looking at purchasing lights, both for commuting and off road. To date I have been using the Exposure lighting system ($600 +) which I have had all sorts of troubles with (eg, chargers faulty, lights not even water resistant let alone water proof, main light has stopped working altogether and now the helmet light is on the blink). Needless to say, I won’t be purchasing Exposure lights.
Merida 24hour
About a month ago I agreed to go up to QLD for my first lap race as support crew for my brother. He had already qualified for the 24hr worlds however it was at the shortened del rio race so he was looking to experience the full 24 hours of fun. He got me into mtb racing earlier in the year and again managed to convince me that entering the solo category would allow me to ride a few laps with him in the later stages of the race.
Great....when I finished
Driving down Sunday morning the temperature gauge got down to 2.5C so knew the only way to warm up was ride hard.The track was in perfect condition no dust no mud just tacky or hard packed bliss.Couple of tough hills that make the legs scream out in pain but the rest is a lot of fun
Whakarewarewa Forest Update (2009)
Hello NSW!
There's more evidence of how solid MTB facilities are of benefit to the economy and community in this document from New Zealand (Whakarewarewa Forest is in Rotorua in case you didn't know):

One would expect that having just emerged from an economic recession, that discretionary consumer spending on recreational activities would have declined. While this may be true in many areas, use of “God's Playground” being Whakarewarewa Forest has increased.

Travel Insurance / Bike Insurance
my partner and I are about to head off on a 5 week road trip through US/Canada and are taking our bikes.
I'm researching the best option of travel insurance /bike insurance for the trip.
i wanted to get others advice/experience on what they have found to be the best value for money, value being good coverage when they have taken their bikes OS.
FYI - i have contacted my home content insurance provider as we currently have our bikes insured with them a portable items and they will cover the bikes overseas for a max of $10k for all bikes (value of our bikes will be $11k).

Great Fun
Dissappointed with the time but a lengthy feed break and continuous cramps for me and my riding buddy ended any challenge on the three hour mark. Great atmosphere, good crowd and friendly riders made it a great day.
Despite the pain the walk up the hill made for a good time to meet other riders and even saw a NoB MoB shirt in there as well. Talked to a few people who rode up 'The Wall', most regretted using that much energy, but an amazing effort to get up that slope.
Northern Beaches Commuting
Hi all - sorry this is probably slightly off-topic but I'm considering moving to the Northern Beaches, specifically Allambie or Allambie Heights and interested in your experiences of commuting to the city by bike and by bus (I hope to do both) or other means? How do people do it (routes etc) and how long does it take?
