Black snake performance enhancer

Just about ran over a large (like, python size !!) red belly black snake at the top of the Dam last sunday overlooking the golf course. As it reared up ready to wrap around my wheel, leap off and bite my face off, an amazing burst of energy drove my bike forward.

I was buzzing for minutes. Watch for them snakes this weekend !!!

Sharkies - have you been bitten?

Has anyone has tried 'Sharkies Organic Energy Sports Chews' (www.sharkies-chews.com)?

I got sent a bit of blurb about it a while back (from my road club) and thought it was just another 'new' product trying to replace good old jelly babies or snakes, but they have now popped up in other sports/endurance newsletters I subscribe to.

Might be keen to order a box or two, just wondering how easy they are to consume while riding i.e. easy to chew and don't get stuck in your teeth and if they live up to all the hype...
Cool

anyone been mountain biking in Bali?

i'm in WA at the moment and the flights to Bali are extremely cheap $350 return (cost me more to fly SYD to PER return) so am thinking i may take a quick trip over there.
Has anyone been mountain biking in Bali? what was it like?
any recommendations/comments would be appreciated.
thanks guys

As discussed, this is my proper first ride back after an injury, and I'm under strict instructions from He Who Must Be Obeyed that I'm not to fall off! The missus would kill me if I did anyway, but the surgeon is bigger. Not sure who I fear more. Sticking out tongue

Bottle vs Camelback?

What do you think about bottle vs camelbacks/packs?

I'm thinking about dumping my camelback in favour of water bottle and cage. But answer me these question three: do they drop out too easily and leave you with no water for 30 km's? Or are they a great way to shed some grams?

It seems the pros go for bottles.

What to look for in a bike?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hello, i'am in the market for a new trail bike but am unsure what makes a bike better then another (geomtry wise). When i buy a bike what must i look for besides components, how must i compare one bike to another bike and be able to say this is better eg how will i no that this frame will turn in better then this one and this one is more trail bike then freeride?. And is it possible to do these checks in the shop before i actually purchase it.

Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge. Well I've never been there, so this is just what the database told me.

I'm finally about ready to ride again and I've never been to Menai. Given I've got to be on that side of town on Saturday morning, sounds like a great time to squeeze in a quick spin.

Somebody want to show me where it is and whip me around a trail? I've heard good things about it and I wanna get some for myself... I guess I'm around the intermediate skill and fitness level and the photos of this place look awesome.
