Stromlo and Majura vid
A bunch of us hit Canberra for the weekend to ride Stromlo and Majura for the first time. So much sniggle goodness...evidence below

DH Minions on tubeless
My front tyre, a LUST 2.35 Ignitor is due for an upgrade and I run 819 tubeless rims
The ignitor is a good tyre, but given some curry it can let go without warning
So I'm feeling like branching out and giving something new a try
Something that can really rail corners, even if I can't
I have read good things about the maxxis minion but can't find a tubeless version (buying online)
Maxxis Minion DH Front Tyre - Dual Ply- MaxxPro 60a - 2.35
Firstly, is this a good tyre choice for those that have used one

Terry Hills - Slow Social Night Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Note: This ride is leaving from Echunga Rd (near the Japanese School). It is a short ride with no asphalt section.
A slowish cruise. I'm getting used to some new pedals and have been lazy/busy lately.
If coming with <24 hr notice pls send me an SMS. Time/location/status could change with little notice (over the phone) if low numbers.

Torpedo7 - ROUTE 7 High Power P7 (900L) LED Headlight for $99!
http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/R7LI4N0LI
Might consider buying one of these.
Does anyone else have one, how do they rate?
The LED is Good (P7 LED 900 Lumens) and they say up to 180 min on 100% anfd the batteries are Lithium Ion with recharge time of 3.5 to 4H.
Neat feature of power LED going red when battery has 25% left.
Just got the email today so it looks like a weekly special.
let me know your thoughts
Cheers

Lane Cove NP - access via Vimiera / M2 underpass
From CAMWEST via mtb-oz, news that will affect mtb access to LCNP and anyone that uses the Brown's waterhole cycle path to link the upper north shore with the rest of the world, or commutes of trains on the M2.....
most of you would be aware of the proposed closure of the break down lane on the M2 for a period of two years whilst upgrading works are carried out. The greatest effects will be felt around Macquarie Uni, but it will have ramifications for any commuting cyclist travelling east of Windsor Road.

New Glenrock Trail Alliance Website
Just thought I would put a quick note up to let you guys know about the new Glenrock Trail Alliance Website (http://www.glenrocktrailalliance.com) that is now running.
We have joined up with the Global Rider network, so you will see improved maps of glenrock on here and I'm guessing some content from our site will cross over to here.
If your after Glenrock info though, its probably the place to go looking. It will also be the place to check out news about Trail Building, Advocacy and the like from Glenrock.
