social / fun ride ( exploring )
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Bloodwood Road, Fiddletown heads up to the National Park. There's a sharp right bend by Marramarra Ridge Trail, with Coba Point Fire Trail shortly after (the proceeding sharp left). There's parking by either trail which are less than 1km apart, but the area by Coba Point Fire Trail is the go.
have never been up before and would like to explore the area. Looking at doing approx 20km it wont be a race just a social ride and a bit of fun, I have no problem stopping at any interesting sections and playing. Would be great if someone that knows the trail would join us. If no response by 8 am in the morning ride will be cancelled.
Increasing Tyre Size - Geax Saguaro TNT
It would be great to get some opinions on increasing tyre size - i currently use a Geax Saguaro TNT 2.0 on the rear and have been generally happy with the overall grip, wear etc - that being said this is in comparison to a crossmark 2.1. I use a Nevegal UST 2.1 on the front.
General blurb about the tyre is:
• Arrojo's natural evolution: same polyvalency and low rolling resistance. A tyre that nicely falls in between the Mezcal (dry, compact) and the Barro Mountain (wet, loose).
• Low rolling resistance thanks to the central uninterrupted knobs that enhance speed on compact ground;
Perimeter + Long + Cowan + Wilkins
Thinking of a ride to scrub my brakes in properly, i think its gonna be around the 28km mark.
Not sure about date thou im expecting my pads to arrive tomorrow but who no's when! Thinking for this weekend assuming i get the pads but if not next week.
Anyone interested in perimeter plus some more goodies?

Setback
Looks like I won't be doing any riding on the weekend. 
A mate's crushing handshake when he picked me up to go see the 1-day cricket on Sunday has left me with bone fragments floating around the knuckle at the base of my pinkie. Looks like my broken hand wasn't as solidly healed from my pre-Christmas road rage crash as I thought.
So I'm off to get x-rays in the morning, and am very unlikely to be doing any riding for the next several weeks (again) on anything but a gym spin bike. And that's if they don't have to cut me open again.
!@#$%^&!
Sunday 31/01
Hi,I need to get a few ks on the legs pre Husky. Thinking of a lap around Narrabeen Lake via Red Hill and Terry Hills. A similar ride last week was 48 ks and took me just over 3 hrs. Depending on the forecast thinking of a 06:30 start or if it's not going to be too hot 14:30. Any one keen?
Lost my nerve
I'm a newbie - very green to all this but had been enjoying it immensely. Before Christmas I came off and landed on my head going quite quick(for me) down one of the hills on the Terry Hills trail. I got a bit banged up, broke a finger and had a lump the size of an egg next to my eye. The subsequent black eye at work created quite a few comments as well! (the finger is still very sore).

Rode this morning and even after some rain on the weekend trail is in excellent condition.

Good Training Ride
Did it for the first time on Sat in 3hrs02 mins. Went up again yesterday, went all out and did this time. A fantastic training ride. You must have been 'steaming' PIVOT MACH 5?!
Struggling with the dam step up
No, not the multiple step ups but the one just around the corner after the boardwalk; i.e.
I used to ride up this more often than not but seem to rarely do it nowadays. Is it just me or is everybody else struggling with this too? It certainly looks like erosion has taken its toll on this part of the dam and has made it that much harder especially as you seem to lose grip on the rear tyre. Perhaps the crossmarks are no longer up to the job.
First time out

Have never ridden this location before so will be at a very social pace just to check it out, probably look at doing around 20 - 25 kms. If no response I will not be there.
