I'll be back
Well I started in the second row behind Gaz and Pete as I haven't done any proper racing for quite a while and I thought if I could just keep there wheels for the first half lap that would be good.The start gun went the pack surged and immediately found myself in around 12 place with Gaz & Pete out of site this wasn't going to plan,over the next half a lap I managed to get past quite a few people and eventually caught a train of about 5 riders with Pete on the tail end but no Gaz.Sat on the back of the train and recovered for a little while then on the climbs Pete made an effort and overtook t

Good Fun
Great fun in C grade 3 laps was perfect and all I wanted to do after spending the previous week moving house and business.
Ok now back to some regular riding to climb up the rankings and maybe move up a grade later in the year.
RealBike Insurance mtb cruise
the day started with what appeared to be set in rain but by 10 am the clouds opened and the sun shined through and made for perfect riding conditions. The 50 k race started I was in the back half of the field taking it easy getting warmed up, about half way up the first climb I found I was getting held up so I figured it was time to push on a bit I got with some blokes who were setting a comfortable pace,I felt pretty good at the end of lap 1.
Glass on the local trails
I've become quite use to seeing crushed up glass when riding on trails around the northern beaches but rarely see glass scattered at other locations outside this area. Is the answer as simple as disgruntled locals?
Where to mtn bike in Australia for my Honeymoon in August?
I found a girl that LOVES to ride, so I'm marrying her! We are from Northern California and ride a few days a week in spring, summer and fall. We are looking to go to Australia for our honeymoon in late August. I'm thinking Cairns or somewhere on the North East coast will be warm enough to go to the beaches and do some riding. Is Cairns a good idea? Anyone know of bike shops that rent decent hardtails? Thanks for any ideas!
WSMTB Summer Enduro Race 3
First foray in mountain bike racing/competition, happy to finish not knowing what to expect and stuck to my very conservative strategy to get me to the line. A good place to start.
Terrey Hills Night Ride
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.
Binned due to bad weather - it's not looking like the balmy night I'd hoped. Reports are that there has been constant drizzle/rain so imagine even if DH/C are good, Perimeter will be a soggy mess. No-one seems that keen so ride cancelled. Sorry if this catches you unaware.
Oooh look...
The Mont is on in couple of weeks.
I haven't riden on dirt since that crash at Appin in January.
Have just got back from couple week holiday.
Haven't used lights on the bike since... must be the Scott?
Front disc brake issue
I am in a bit of a panic, perhaps unnecessarily at this stage but looking for suggestions! I have planned to go away with a bunch of people with the families, mainly so that the guys can go off and ride. I do not get away that often and never with the primary purpose of riding. Yesterday my front disc brakes on my 3 month old Giant packed it in. I took it back to the LBS and they were able fit it in to look at this morning but called me to say that it had to go in for a warranty repair that will take between 1 and 2 weeks.
