Super Easy Terrey Hills
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Well, would you look at that. The sun is shining and the trails are (hopefully) drying out nicely.
At last!
Come for a gentle spin of Terrey Hills P+L (that's Perimeter & Long). Cowan track will be thrown in if there is demand. Feel free to ride Duck Hole & Centre before/after 
Here's hoping for some great winter sunshine

Opposite ansto
keen for a blast in the cold, a good oppurtunity to get the body armour on and not cook ;.)
planning on the usual shenanigans and keen to check out the spiders as i havent been out much of late.
Duck + Centre
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Although we don't normally ride this trail on it's own, with a bit of road work it makes a nice loop from Terrey Hills shops (on Booralie Road) then onto Centre Track and back along the road to the shops.
That's the same as the more standard Terrey Hills rides.
Doing Duck + Centre. Will decide at the end of Centre whether we do it in reverse as it might be just too cold. Either way I'm just happy to be getting out on the trails
4hr at Awaba this weekend - which bike?
I've entered in the Rocky Trail 4 hour race at Awaba this weekend. I had the best of intentions to get there and check out the course prior to the race but that just hasn't happened. So I'm wondering: what is the course like and which bike?
Do I go for comfort and ride the Stumpjumper dually, or do I ride the Gary Fisher 29er hardtail?

A nice blog post from a roadies "first" MTB event. Sensational pictures too.

Wheel builders
Hi guys
In this climate of instant coffee and instant wheels, where LBC's are more inclined to sell you a whole new wheel or it costs a fortune to build up a new wheel, can anyone recommend a N beaches LBC wheel builder that's got a great track record; or have you got some experience on the matter that you can share?
thanks
Shifter Cables
Hey All,
I need to invest in some decent shifter cables. I have successfully destroyed an alligator "bullet proof" set, followed by an XTR set.
I run full length housing, but i find that the housing usually splits through the end caps. The housing fray at the ends.
What can you recommend for me?
PS- don't want to break the bank (Nokon is out of my price range)
Gore Ride On?
Jagwire?
Avid Flak jacket? got bad reviews on MTBR
cheers
Garmin firmware update
FYI there's a firmware upgrade available on the Garmin web site for Edge 605/705 devices.
From 3.10 to 3.20, June 14 2010
One item that caught my attention that I had questioned Garmin support about in the past, and ultimately requested as a future 'feature' is:
Backlight setting now saved to configuration and set automatically on power-on.
I've updated my 705 and will test it out tomorrow.
cheers

A bit slower than last year
Had a fair start to the race and the hills were a welcome opportunity to get the blood thawed out and flowing. Unfortunately when it can time for the fast stuff I had lost the lead group of riders in my category and so had to ride on my lonesome for the final 15k. Then had a stack 1 k from the finish line. Overall a couple of mins slower than last year. I know I know keeping my bike upright might help. Other than that had a great time. It's good to do a different kind of race with a more casual feel to it.
