Casual first lap for beginners with some mates... then a quick lap! But of course if the trails is shut... then maybe Yellowmundee...
Maybe we shouldn't wear helmets.....

What a stupid article. Fails to mention the fact that the reason there are less accidents with more bike users is specifically because there are more bike users and better acceptance with other traffic.
Any article that recommends not wearing a helmet, even just to ride the shops and back is frankly irresponsible. While were at it, anyone see this:
Fork and shock servicing
Hi,
New to Aus. Need to get my fork (rock shox) and rear shock (fox) serviced, can't find any authorised shops the google way so thought i'd ask here. Even if their not an authorised shop- can anyone recommend a shop where they've had this work done before? I'm living in the city, so city locations would be great but all recommendations welcome
Thanks

Hi, I have just arrived in Australia and I'm living in Sydney (Dee Why). I have done adventure races in Brazil for 4 years (expedition including). but I don't ride a bycicle a year ago. I want to buy a bycicle and start the training. And I would like to find some group to train.
If you could help me I will be grateful.

Nice chat
I did Narrow Neck with my wife on Sunday. Had a good chat with a couple of MTB riders we met at the end . It turns out one of them works for SCA and review trail access in the Area. We had a friendly chat , and out of curiosity I asked him what was the main issue with MTB access versus hiker access. Here is what he said:
1/ MTB are not necessarily more damaging than hikers, but they are more numerous and go further. He said on some week ends the Oaks can see some 400 riders. With higher traffic comes:
2/ Higher risk of fire
3/ Higher risk of pollution ( ie going to toilet).
