Manly Dam
Just got back from a lap of the Dam.
Almost ran into a motocross bike heading anti-clockwise along the single track between the Wakehurst and the Golf course.
I did point out the legalities of his actions but he just took off in a spray of rocks.
I personally like the doughnuts that he left on the Golf Course rock face and the broken rocks on the second step down.
Idiot.......
P.s He was not wearing a helmet or any protective gear.
WWS Yellowmundee???
One week to go and no entries!
Flynny? Anybody know anything? Loved the series, but it's getting difficult.
Chain's - What breaks?
G'Day Folks,
I went for a ride on Tuesday night and broke my chain (8 speed). Basically one end of a side plate pulled off and I was left with two bent plates with the pin still connected to one of them. It may have been due to shifting under power but I can't be sure.
Is this the "normal" way that chains break?
Still wanted: DW Entry
all you guys keep me in mind for a 50 or 100 ticket if anyone pulls out. sorry, just gotta keep my name out there!
yours hopefully,

Wrights Creek road access ?
Does anyone know if it is legal to ride the first big hill (from Wrights Creek road up to the ridge top) other than on race day ?
I thought I read somewhere that it was on private property but not sure if it was my imagination.
I'd love to do the first loop as a training run but obviously only if it's legal, moral and low fat....

Still no plan for SCA access
Last week I sent a mail to SCA asking how they were going with their review of bike access. Yesterday I got the reply:
Dear Robin
Thank you for your query regarding the timeframe for the review of the mountain bike access in the Special Areas.
XPE Single + Triples with lenses
These things are tiny!
A sheet of single XPE emitters, with one 16 degree Carlco lens. Then some triples with 18 degree lenses.
The triples fit really nicely, the lenses slotting into the MCPCB. Ideally the singles should have come supplied on square boards so the tiny square lens did the same. It would be nice to get them exchanged but one could make do with rounds with care.

AMBC Trailbreakers - Intermediate XC Clinic (Ourimbah)
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.
