wisemans ferry training ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Yikes - only 3 weeks to dirtworks! My last big ride was dirtworks 2009....
I saw there is a training ride on sat but I can't make it sat. I hope there are a few like minded who'll be up for a sunday flogging.
I want to do between 70 and 80ks. Minimal stops and a pace equivalent of doing the race in 6 hours. Std route. Up past claires bridge and then back same way. Down shephers gully (for the sheer fun of it) and road race back to the ferry for a well deserved protein bar.
Any takers?
Cheers,
Staffan

Sat or Sun spin
Looking to get out this weekend- open on location cause I don't know many, would be great to tag along with a group that gets out every week. So if you've got something planned or want to get out yourself let me know.
Thanks

Thredbo DH
I am heading down to Thredbo to do some Cannonball shenanigans this coming Anzac long weekend.
Just wondering if anyone else had any plans to head down and wanted to get together for some runs down the mountain.
I will be riding Sunday 25th and Maybe the afternoon of Saturday 24th.

Manly Dam 3 Laps
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
No that it will be dark and I need to get more riding in for the DW100 that is approaching fast. My intention is doing 3 laps so lights definitely required.

Probikeshop.fr ??
Hi all
Looking at deals on the web this afternoon and came across an online retailer Probikeshop.fr
They have some amazing prices especially on forks. Has anyone had any first hand experience with this website ? Are there any catches in buying online from a french retailer. I've had great experiences with CRC but have never come across this online retailer before.
As any example I came across these DT SWISS forks: DT SWISS EXC 150 RTLC Fork 15mm

shimano 9 spd chain
Hi all
1 link on chain is bent, tried to disconnect with chain breaker to no avail, do you need special tool due to rivet head, or is it just the driver ?

GNR training ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
I'd like to ride Wiseman's GNR but not overly keen on doing it solo for safety reasons.
I'm looking to do about 60 - 80 km, or 4 - 6 hours. Minimal stops along the way apart from nutrition break at half way point.
Meet at the ferry, up Devine's Hill, out past Clare's bridge for x km or hours, and then return via Shepherds gully.
This is a training and familiarisation ride for the upcoming DirtWorks. I'd like to push myself quite hard and work on managing hydration/energy levels. Pace I'm aiming for is something like 60km in about 4 1/2 hrs.

Dumbest Ourimbah Ride Ever!
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Plan is to do 1 lap of the XC Course then ride up Red Hill Rd to the top (around 16 km) and return, followed by another lap of the XC course. Should be around 55ish km in preparation for the Dirtworks so we'll attempt to minimise stops, but the pace won't be too hectic.

Black or Gold
So who uses black and who uses gold Shimano SPD cleats? Looks like black comes standard in the box.
Any comments on Gold? Are they good?
