I need a new wheel
I just don't know where I put my wheel! Like, I had it in my car along with my bike but when I went to get it out, it was not there!
I was wondering if anyone might like to give me a wheel they have lying around? It was a quick release wheel with Alex rims on my olde chunky Cell Bikes bike. I have a spare brake rotor.

Initial Out-of-the-box service
I just recieved my brand spanking new Scott Scale in the mail yesterday, and I am in the process of putting it all together.
Can I do all this myself? Or is it smarter for me to just shell out the cash and put it in to a bike shop?
All that needs to be done is the front calipers to be attatched to the Fork, brakes adjusted (they seem very weak, would they need to be bled/reserviced after sitting in a box for so long?), and maybe the gearing/derailleurs adjusted if they need it?
I am not mechanically retarded, but would prefer to do it right for my expensive toy.

Seems this trail is due for a re-route. See comment here: http://nobmob.com/node/11524#comment-39489

Mid week Terrey Hills
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.
If the rain stays away...
A ring-in from another well know MTB group and myself will be riding DH+C+P+L on Wednesday morning. Said ring-in says he's out of shape so this will be a sedate, probably around 3 hour pace.
Come along if you're not busy?

menai madness
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
A clown around in the dark and try and stay on the bike this time type of ride
i would like to venture near the north shore stuff, have a play and blast down the berm track ,(hopefully the pea sized rock that caused my little excusion has gone for a walk) and do a bit of sniggle on the way, but depending on who comes we'll see what happens
pads in my case are mandatory but for others less inclined to throw caution to the wind they would be optional
just some fun in the bush on the treadly with some mates

Glenrock Recreational Area - Newcastle
Great work Rob for adding Glenrock to the trail database.
For those of you who haven't been up there (Newcastle) before, Glenrock has some great XC single track to check out. Lots of fun, some technical stuff, but all very manageable.
A great day trip from Sydney or the coast - and close to the beach / town if you feel like a surf / swim / beer afterwards.

Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 23 Nov
Great track, fast, dry and dusty on the weekend - albeit very bloody hot !!!
