More use of avatars
In case anyone has missed it, you might notice I've turned on the user pictures in comments and posts. Just a bit of fun but adds some colour to the pages and easier to relate who's posted by a glance at the avatar on the right then trying to look for the name (you know - "Good with faces, no good with names" concept).
Anyhow, so everyone will get the 'Guest Rider' icon unless they upload a nice image. Up to 480x480px images are good as the site will resize for you. This size is good, because a larger version is shown on your profile compared to that shown by your posts.

Ourimbah State Forest update for 28 Oct
given the amount of rain we've had lately the xc track is in excellent condition, very few puddles & the puddles that are there are easily avoided, get out there & ride it.
Do you have more information?

Firday Arvo Cascades and something else
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.
This is shot 2 from last week as discussed with Rob in that opportunity.
My idea is to go down the cascades down hill single track (if i find it), climb out and see what else we can do.
I don't want to go down that trail alone, it is a bit technical and i don't want to lie unconsious until my wife starts worrying if something unplanned happens , so if nobody confirms and someone has a suggestion to go somewhere else (like Lane Cove) post it and I can change the plans. If nobody comes i may go to Menai that i know where i get into 
First Flat
Well, it had to happen sooner or later... on this morning's jaunt over to Manly and back[1] the crosser got it's first flat... ever. A very, very slow one at that, but eventually I felt the rear was a bit wobbly and looked down to see the deflation.
Had to stop on Manly beach front and change the tube. Yeah, tough place for it to happen 
Stopped off at Manly Cycles to top of the inflation with their floor pump. The dude there commented on my jersey (JetBlack Sydney 24 - see, it always helps to wear MTB event jerseys when <cough>scumming</cough>).
Consulting Garmin Connect, says I've ridden 6700km on the Bianchi. Hmmm... no wonder the tires look a bit worn (yup - same set of Conti Contact touring tires on there the whole time). Guess this is not a bad record in the flat department

Mont 24 Hour 2010
From the Mont website.
Whoa Nelly!
Sunday, October 25, 2009
The entry system opened at 5:30pm yesterday and got a hammering over the following 6 hours – so much so it looked like the event would sell out before the end of the week. Rather than catch those of you who wait a while before jumping online by complete surprise, we have pressed the pause button and will re-open entries in one weeks time.This period will allow you to get all your team details together, and allow us to make some minor changes to our server/hosting arrangements... our hamsters are exhausted.
Manly Dam update for 28 Oct
I went on a road ride last night, but went via the top of the Dam at Wakehurst Parkway to check it out. I'd stay well clear as there was a LOT of standing water and a LOT of run-off.
