Awaba State Forest update for 27 Dec
Light rain has certainly settled down the dust and created a nice firm packed surface. Trail is a little greasy after all the rain with some small / minor puddles . None to much to worry about.
Trail is in great condition, just be aware that is a little more slippery then usuAl.
Do you have more information?

ACT - Majura & Stromlo
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Coming from Sydney, drive into Queenbeyan, turn left at the roundabout where Red Rooster is and stay on this road for about 11km. Park on the side of the road where the gate is. For better directions try this link CORC: Events: Race Venues.
I'm pretty keen on heading to Canberra for a couple of days after Christmas. Thinking of spending an afternoon at Majura Pines, and then the following day at Stromlo.
Pretty flexible with where I ride, just have a couple of days free and thought I'd check out the ACT tracks! I'm open to suggestions of where to ride and for how long.
I'll be leaving from Frenchs Forest around 8:00am on the Wednesday (now Tuesday) and can fit another 2 bikes in the car if anyone's interested in coming with.

Appin update for 24 Dec
Tracks in good condition, more sand than I remember, couldn't believe no one else was there

Ourimbah XC
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Howdy,
looking to do Ourimbah XC either this saturday or sunday, having never been before wouldnt mind someone to show me round....
anyone interested ?

% of HR on Garman 705
OK, So I have this Garman Edge 705 and I can't work out how to get it to display HR as a percentage. I usually display in training zone but percentage is useful as well. I'm in IT, it can't be THAT hard!
Can anyone help?

Like to be the first
Everyone out there in the mountain biking community have a safe & Merry Christmas to all , see you in the New Year !!!

Malabar Headland
The guys over at Rotorburn have been talking about a network of singletrack out on the Malabar Headland south of Maroubra.
I sussed out this morning and it's pretty good for something so close to the city.
Here's the map.

The terrain is a mixture of tight technical singletrack, and Moab style bare rock with lots of technical features.
This definitely provides another local option and is potentially another Manly Dam with good management.

WATCH OUT GAZZA!
Prompted by a frankly disgusting time by Gazza I set out to see what I could do. I've been off the bike for a couple of weeks but felt happy to break the 30. Hoping to get some serious training in for the Sydney 24 so aiming to better this.
Notes to self:
Quite warm (26)
Quite strong head wind.
Was almost dark (in fact quite hard to see toward the end).
Still not convinced that my start point is the best.
Need to work on my tech skills after riding the roadie so much recently.
