Late notice newbies ride Perimiter + Long Tracks 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.
This is an out-and-back at social pace. There are great views from a few spots so bring your camera if you like. The trail consists of fire trail, with some sand. It is non-techical.
At 22km return it is probably not suitable for young children, but my teenager enjoyed it last weekend. Weather is forecast to be warmish - mid 20's - so bring adequate water and your sunblock.
bike rack
I want a new bike rack to put on the tow bar. I want both wheels supported on something (the one i already have the bike is just supported from the frame and if stop too hard it hits the car) and if it tilts so i can still open the back of the car with the bike on the rack even better, but not a prerequisite.
I have seen the Thule ones but the cheapest is 400$. Does any one have a tip on where to get them cheaper? it doesn't have to be Thule though.
Cheers
Lost Garmin Edge 305 Cycle computer/GPS near Manly Dam.
I lost my computer while putting my bike into my car at Bangaroo Street, North Balgowlah on Friday November 6. If anyone has found it, would you please contact me. I would love to get this back and I'm happy to reward the finder for its return.
Thanks

The War on Cyclists and Pedestrians is Getting Ugly
CB's Mixed Feelings sprang to mind when I saw this just now:
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/10/the-war-...
This article notes,
All over the world right now, there is a war on cyclists and pedestrians.
And if a Texan politician can even notice this...
"Right now, if the driver of a motor vehicle destroys private property, they have to make amends," said state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio. "If you destroy life, that is not the case. ... It's just called an accident."
Parramtta Lake and exit at Carlingford
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
In the carpark just below the Cafe. I'll be the one on the White Giant
Came through here for the first time on my way to work this morning. Going back the same way and was planning on doing some exploring around the area before exiting at Carlingford
Newbie looking for advice on Alex Ace 17 rims
Just wondering if anyone has any advice on Alex Ace 17rims with Shimano LX M585 hubs to replace a set of Alex DM 24 (too heavy). I have done some searching on the web but can't find any reviews. I am 95kgs and on a wife imposed budget and have found a set for about $170 but wondering if I should be looking at something else that may be better value
Mixed feelings
Just read this articel on bikeradar
http://www.bikeradar.com/commuting/news/article/...
Interesting mixed feelings. When I first read the article I thought 'good, at least they jailed the moron'..... then reading the comments, I began thinking that they were absolutely right. Attempted premeditated murder and only 3 years in jail. Scandalous.
I think my initial thoughts were based on the subconcious kmowledge that if it happened in Sydney, the moron wouldn't have gone to jail at all.....
Northbridge BMX track Sailors Bay Rd, (near golf course & tennis courts)
Hi all, please give your support ...
I am currently involved, along with a few other locals, in transforming the BMX dirt jump track to a "Pump" track.
At present the track is in a state of disrepair & neglect due to lack of maintenance, therefore not completely safe or practical for general use, especially for younger children.
There is already a Dirt Jump track at Castle Cove, nearby.
We have had a meeting with the "Parks & Reserves Co ordinator" from Willoughby Council to discuss converting this space to a "Pump" track which will cater for the local community to provide a safe, practical working bike track for people of all ages, skill & ability.
The "Parks & Reserves Co ordinator" has asked us to drum up as much support as possible by sending him an email, outlining benefits of a Pump track.
