Mont Warm up - Canberra weekend explorer 28/2 - 1/3
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Coming from Sydney, drive into Queenbeyan, turn left at the roundabout where Red Rooster is and stay on this road for about 11km. Park on the side of the road where the gate is. For better directions try this link CORC: Events: Race Venues.
Lets get down to Canberra for a weekend of exploration and training.
Having not been to Sparrow Hill I'd like to get down for an exploratory ride prior to the Mont and of course log a number of kays training.
Sparrow Hill Saturday
Majura or Stromlo or other Sunday
I'd expect it to be a fairly long days but with breaks here and there for food and water refils. Primarily this is a training ride but I would expect a fair amount of social activity as well.

Del Rio Track Building
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Del Rio Resort is on Riverside Drive, Webbs Creek, NSW.
I've been asked to con some suckers talk some willing volunteers into helping out with some track building at Del Rio, in preparation for the Sydney 24.
If you ride trails loads but don't ever build here's your chance to learn all about it and help out.
Show up for the weekend (see Saturday's meeting) or just one day, I believe free camping at Del Rio is on offer for helpers. They have a bar and pool to cool down in later. There might be BBQ food on offer too, but am not sure - best bring some food just in case!

Newbie help appreciated re. MTB choice
Hi
Just rode a dual susension mountain bike for the first time and am hooked!!
I'd appreciate any recommendations for a first purchase. I'm 5'9", weigh about 95kgs & am a novice rider.
At the moment, I intend to ride off road (manly dam etc) nothing too radical.
My budget is limited to about $2000 or a bit over. One bike I am considering is a Gient 2009 Anthem X2 new for about $2200.
Any info or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

A day to learn and live!
After we said good bye to the rides stage one guys, and after bagging them for being woozy girls, I lived to regret that comment, we headed off in search of some nice downhill fun which we did eventually find.
After reaching about 80% into the trail it then became the most difficult hike a bike I have ever done, I’m talking clambering over and sliding down small boulders.
