After having an amazing time with Gav's friend Ian on Saturday (we saw a fluffy goat, spoon bird, a snake with no teeth and fish) We took the train with our bike and big bags direction to the house of MTB 24h soloist mentor John alias Carlgroover. When the boys were talking, I was working on finishing a really important part of the ARC grant application as I had a big dead line ...Gav called me to have dinner and I had gluten free pasta and supa salty cheese and pasta sauce (no beer).

Outdoor recreation in (Brisbane) Council's bushlands
Any QLD riders listening? You have an opportunity to complete the survey below which looks like a good initiative. Wonder if we'll get something like this from councils in Sydney?
For the record - if there's riding in an area I'm more likely to visit it! 
I hear there is good riding there in Gap Creek Reserve, Mt Coot-tha.

Bike Computer
Hello fellow bikers.
I'm seeking advice on which bike computer to buy. I want something reliable and not too expensive. (I've spent all night researching them and can't decide!)
I'd like it to have:
Wireless
Altimeter
Backlight
Any suggestions?
So far I've almost bought a:
Cateye CC HR200DW
TREK Incite ACH
VDO MC1+
but I can't decide! $200 is the absolute limit and I'd prefer to spend less.

Cramps, cramps and more cramps!
Well, that was the hardest 8 hour solo i've done so far and i've put the blame mainly on one thing, it wasn't the weather,my fittness,my equipment or the track. it was BEER!
After a big night in bondi on wednesday night, i foolishly backed it up by having another big night on friday after a hot day at work!
i made sure i drank litres of weak endura all day saturday and took even more magnesium than i usually take on a daily basis.
NPWS - Draft Plan of Management for Glenrock
Its been a long time since I posted here on the Glenrock POM (not sure I have), or really had anything to post. I do now so I have created this thread as a spot for people to ask questions about, or discuss news as it arrives.
The big news is that the Draft POM is being launched on Monday 16th Feb. I will be at the launch and speaking to the politicians on offer, but basically the chance is just about here for everyone to have their say.
Ed: Update 22-Feb: The plan is now out for comment. It can be downloaded here (this page also includes details of how to comment):
http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/parkmanagement...
I would encourage everyone to submit a comment. It doesn't have to be wordy, even something simple as, "Please adopt the network of MTB trails as I love the sport and this will encourage me to visit the park." will do (although please don't copy that word for word - they weed out duplicates).
A glimpse of heaven (or hell?)
Interesting race this one, but have to say am very happy with how it went to be honest. Well - for me - for poor old Cupcake it sucked quiet badly.
Having hastily moved from a trio with Junkie, Cupcake and I begrudgingly formed a pairs team at Lisdale. It would seem no-one wanted to ride with a 'pest' and both of us were too soft to ride alone so worked for me.
Fox 32 Talas RLC - push or not push
I can't believe my Fox Talas fork is broken already
My travel adjuster appears to be faulty, I'm not able to select 100mm any more. I doubt I will get it serviced before the race next weekend but that's another matter. As I need to get it repaired I'm thinking of getting them "pushed". It seems to make a lot of sense if I can make it more reliable. Has anyone any experience with this kind of mod?
Worth it?
How much?
Noticable performance difference?
Service time?
Who does it?
Cheers
Lisdale Successess
While NoBMoB is all about social riding (as displayed by all the jolly fun on Saturday) there seems to be an ever increasing rogue element of really rather good (dare I even say, professional) riders in our midst.
Yesterday at Lisdale NoBMoB seemed to be involved in two first place positions and another two podiums. We even got a shout from the Aussie champ (pictured here on her way to winning Solo vets by a lap) as part of her acceptance speech. The very hastily put together (and named) team 'Beth Beth' (Erm... Beth accompanied by Junkie - yes, she did most laps!) stormed home in first place mixed pairs.
Other podiums were grabbed by three old buggers (Steve01, Dylan & Lord Carlgroover) second in threes masters as Alex, Supagav & Scott scored second in the threes mixed. Reckon that 'mixed' thing might be a misprint on the results? 
Awesome work everyone. And all the social riders out there need not be scared - there are now so many of us buggers that someone has to come out smelling of roses sometimes!
