Orange Trails?
I'm heading to a town just outside Orange for the Easter long weekend and I was wondering if it's worth taking my bike. I've heard there are trails in and around Orange.....
Kinross forest: Has anyone been there? Is it any good? Is it easy to find my way around without a guide?
Any other areas?
Cheers guys.
Menai Madness

When the dust settled... we were on the podium again
It was an early start on Friday, leaving Sydney at 6.30am, but the reward was getting to the Mont before 10am, and getting a perfect spot at the entrance to the campground, no more than 100m from where we’d planned to do our transitions. I taped off a decent area for the teams that would be joining us, and set up the ‘mega-tarp’ pits area for our team, the Mixed Nuts.
Awaba Fun
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.
I have just worked out my plans and depending on the weather I intend on doing some laps at Awaba. I have never been there but it sounds easy enough to navigate around.
Looking for NSW events in next 2 months.
Hi there... new to site/forum. Been riding for approx 3 yrs now (progressed to Giant Trance). Ride stuff like the Rim track at Red Hill, the obligatory Manly Dam, even been down to the Mogo track (tho not for the Angry Doctor).
Currently looking for a good event in NSW to enter (either as single or team) that is occurring in the next 2 months (aware of Dirtworks - also aware sold out).
Be great if anyone has any suggestions.
Cheers.

1st Mont
What an awesome race! I was very happy with my consistency. I completed 6 laps - the slowest (not including the start) being 1:06:37 and the fastest a 59:07. We had a sweet set up right behind the Pizza van so we were nice and close to transition. Saw Rob on a warm-up lap on the Friday arvo and he introduced me to some other Nobmobbers quickly after...Sorry I didn't get to catch up with you guys again properly!
Looking to join a group for weekend social rides
Hi, I am a keen mountain bike rider, I ride for fun and exercise! I am in the over 50's and under 60's age group and above average fitness. I enjoy the out doors and meeting new people, it is boring riding alone, and would love to meet up for a regular weekend ride. I usually ride around the Terry Hills area but would like to explore other trails!
Cheers for now, Cliff W.
Pain in the Bum
So for the 1st 38 years of my life I never encountered chaffing. Now that I haven't smoked for 2.5 years I put on 5 kg and sometimes, maybe it's heat or diet or my underwear or I-don't-know, but sometimes (it sure seems to be heat related) I get a bit of what must be 'chaffing' on two very small bits of opposing bum cheek.
I've seen a disturbing photo of Gary applying something to his undercarriage prior to an event. Is that my future? Am I destined to becoming an axle greaser? I'm just under 70 kg. How can my buns-of-steel do this to me?
Any tips?
