Ayups Lights - Lost at Manly Dam
Hi all,
If you are riding Manly Dam today, please be on the lookout for a set of Ayups lights. I believe my handlebar lights have fallen off somewhere on the standard loop.
Lets hope I hear some good news from someone!!
(I have also posted this message on Farkin too.)
Thank you!

Menai - Early Explore
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
This will be a quickish exploration ride I am trying to figure out these trails and the best way to do that is to ride them reguarly.
Route wise it will probably be all over the place at a medium to quickish pace you should expect to ride some small to medium drops and roll offs on the route there are also plenty of tricky little rocky climbs and decents all over the place a bit of rough fire trail thrown in and some nice flowing single track.
This will be a quick ride no longer than an hour and a half basically I am just going to have an explore to see what I can find.

Menai - Mid Week Night Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
This is a social medium paced technical single track XC style night ride on some of Sydney’s best trails.

Fast Lap Fridays.
Hi there. The 4 hour race on Sunday has got me thinking about increasing my training. I'll be riding Manly Dam on Friday and im hoping to do 6 laps. maybe 8? might be just wishful thinking on my part!
If there are some pretty quick riders out there(i know that there are and you know who you are ) who will be A)not working on Friday and B) keen to do even 1 or two laps with me then please feel free to let me know.
Starting time is negotiable as i'm not such an early riser and need to catch the ferry from the city.

Bike trailers for kids
Has anyone out there had experience with bike trailers ?
I have to drop off my 3 year old at childcare a few mornings a week and the best option at the moment is to use bike ( then ride to work). I'm considering getting a child trailer.
If anyone has some words of wisdom, I'd like to hear them.

DH jersey
Hi all,
There is currently some discussion about doing another Nobmob lycra jersey order.
As coincidence has it, and for those interested in this kind of thing, I thought I should mention that some of the 'Mob' are currently in the design phase of a DH jersey. A version of this should be available to view in another month or so. The jersey will be in the typical DH/FR long sleeve sort, and mainly black and blue in colour.
If you are interested, you may want to save some money as we envisage a unit cost of about $80. So please, watch this space!
