Anyone want to do a ride tomorrow during the day
I have the day off work tomorrow and would be keen to go for a ride with someone else. I rather ride with someone, cause i go hard down hill, but not up hills. Think it better to be with someone when out in the bush.
Happy to do Manly Dam, Lane Cove, Lake Parra or any other suggestions.
DIY Servicing
Not to sound cheap (because really I am) but the cost of servicing my beloved is more than servicing my Subaru!!
Without mentioning LBS names, but some places charge up to $230 for a full service and thats without brake, drivetrain and shock servicing, which is all I need really.
So my question is, is whether there is anyone out there that has converted the garage/shed/outback loo/treehouse etc to a workshop and knows enough of the know to help service a few of our rigs and also teach us some jedi mind tricks in the process involved with it.
All for a competitive fee of course ...

HMBA XC Build Day - Awaba June 13
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
The next build day for the XC trail is set down for the 13th June (The usual 'first sunday of the month' clashes with the VVC this month).
Meet at 7:30am at the main car park.
Work will continue on the alternate line at the top of camel back climb.
What to bring:
1. Your favourite trail building tool eg Mattock, shovel, mcleod
2. Sunscreen and a hat
3. Lots of water and food
4. Insect repellent
5. Sturdy footwear.
6. Your bike - the regular builders are always keen to lay down some laps after all the building is done.
Hope to see you there!
Front derailleur technical assistance
Looking to upgrade FD to XT from entry level Deore. I have worked out the difference between top swing and conventional swing but can anyone explain the difference between a 28.6mm and 34.9mm Dual pull v's 31.8mm and 34.9mm Dual pull
NSW Tourism promoting MTB ?
NSW tourism holding MTB as a reason to visit? Very much at odds with the infrastructure, regulations and support. I was so surprised to see this full page ad in the SMH - its not as if we are Rotorua. I've sent this to Mr Sartor et al , and included the premier encouraging acceleration of their support.
Perhaps some more letter/email writing at this time could help, esp since Aussies are doing so well around the world, it gives some momentum for change.
Capital Punishment Accomodation
I have accomodation at the Formule1 motel at Watson (about 10min from event rego). Booked for Friday & Saturday nights, $85. If anyone is interested in sharing room please contact me.

Awaba State Forest update for 23 May
Remarkable how well this XC track has held up given the amount of rain recently. It was damp but there was no puddles to speak of. Great facility.

Manly Dam update for 23 May
Very wet with standing water on low-lying parts of the fire road and the singletrack sections. Give it a few days to dry out.
