Andos Extras? Kedumba Valley Road?
I was looking at the Andos map earlier and notice there are a few trails to the West of Kings Tableland road, around where the hospital is.
One of these is marked "Kedumba Valley Road" and looks to go to a lookout. Erm... and then down into the valley. If that is truly there must be crazy steep! Anyone been there?
Also - between Kedumba and Kings Tableland there looks to be a couple of shorter trails, very narrow one of 'em. Is this sekret sniggle? 
This Sat: "Stimulus ride @ Manly Dam..."
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Early-ish lap of the dam. Normal / social pace - suitable for all.
"Stimulus ride" to stimulate the Northern Beaches' economy!
Create precious jobs and extra revenue for all the Local Bike Shops & doctors / hospitals, by going extra hard and breaking / wearing out lots of expensive parts for immediate replacement ($$$). Go hard, spend hard! Do it for Australia!
(Moved to an earlier date of Saturday the 7th Feb - to stimulate sooner!)
Our treasury boss says: "I want to stimulate you!"
Riding without a chain
Tip of the day:
When one is rolling their bike around a carpark (you know... to be sure the tires are on correctly and feel OK), but without a chain on the bike (you know... 'cos you have taken the old one off but yet to fit the new one), do not stand up on the pedals!
If you stand up you'll forget there is no chain on your bike and try and pedal off, smashing your leading knee against the bars and almost OTB'ing at the same time.
Doh! 
575 is shown some love
Today the 575 got two shiny new tires. Both 2.35 single ply wire bead jobbies. Not UST but full of Stans so hope they stay up. The front is a Minion DH F and the rear a High Roller. The High Roller was a pain in the butt to get to seal but Minion went up in seconds. Think that was to do with 'roller being pushed out of shape a little in shipping.
Have to say 2.35s look a lot better (you recall how stupid I said a 2.1 Ignitor looked on the front during the first build?). Hopefully will see how they handle on Saturday.
