Jubilee Park Toowoomba
First all if you havent got this months issue (its like a special issue) of Australian Mountain Bike (no I dont work for them) you should because the whole issue has like 48, 2page spreads on all the best trails in Australia. Get it!
Just thought I'd wack some pics and thoughts up about the DH track (and a little of the XC) track at Jubilee Park in Toowoomba.
But first some pics:
The old man jumping!
Another nobmob kit order anytime?
Hi Rob.
Will there be another order going through for Nobmob kit I wonder? I should probably make an effort for Toasted at the Sydney 24.
Help with new bike selection
Hi
Am just returning to mountain biking and in the process of bike selection.
Have been away from the sport for 8 years. I used to ride a hard tail Klein with Marzocchi shocks which I loved but it got stolen. For various reasons I didn't buy another bike. However am now dead keen to get back into it and looking to buy a solid cross country dual suspension mainly for riding around Sydney Northern Beaches trails.
Impressions - new rider to MTBing
New to MTBing - met some really nice guys at Manly Dam, everyone was very helpful..... lots of advise for a newbie like me.
Only impression I can give at the moment is when I rode around the trails near the northern end of Manly Dam, some biker left their inner tube on the side of the track. If Bikers leave rubbish which is identifiable as "bike" type rubbish then it could spoil it for a lot of people if MTBrs are banned or such. Negative branding can kill off a healthy sport/recreation.
What's IN or OUT in 2009?
Hey MTBrs - I'm new to the MTB wrld, live near Oxy falls, Manly Dam, Red Hill etc.... Hear Oxy Falls is out for MTBing?, also RedHill? Can anyone really clarify what trails are IN or OUT around the Northern Beaches. Is there a trail booklet or such that warns where you can or cant ride?
Don't want to get caught for being naive or ill informed. Want to ensure MTBrs are well respected etc..
Hope this blog works o.K - virgin bogger !

A Dam Fine Saturday Afternoon.
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.
I reckon it'll be just lovely to pedal around Manly Dam after I've been at work supplying the good people of the western suburbs with their bicycle needs, and I've not been here in ages. It's late so we beat the heat, yet still daylight. This is no night ride.
It'll be just two laps of the regular course then everyone can go home and be available for their preferred Saturday night activities.
Everyone's welcome. Newbies, oldies, fast, slow, girls, guys. Everyone.
SOLD: Avid Juicy metal sintered pads 4 sale
I have 3 pack of genuine Avid metal sintered pads for sale
These fit all Juicy hydraulic brakes and BB7's
I bought these with my brakes but I could never stop them squeeling
So I now use organic pads
Price is $20 per set
I also have 2 pairs of barely used pads removed from my bike for anyone who takes all 3
Would prefer to deliver at a ride
But can send if you pay the cost (wouldn't be much)
SOLD! Brand New, 'Large' 2008 Scott 24 Hour Jersey
CORC recently had a clear out sale at which I bought a few items. Sadly the 'Large' jersey ordered is more like 'Medium' so is a bit too snug for me.
So anyone enter the event (or want to pretend they did) and want to take if off my hands for 50 bucks?
It's 'Large' (more like medium) white with white on black 'SCOTT' on the sides and 'Ride.24.08' across the chest, 'A decade of dirt' on the back. Red highlights on the sleeves. Large red mud blotch on the back top. Usual sponsors logos everywhere. Oh, surely you've seen them? 
Here... on page 5:
after "work" Ourimbah ride
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.
I'm in Newcastle early for work!!! and on the way home will stop at one of our favourite XC loop!!
Fame ???
Just flicking through Issue 10 of Enduro magazine and who do I see on page54 accompanying the atricle on the highland fling....?
Among the photo's of Gordo and the elite riders is a great shot of Geoff(?), Pikey, Gary and Paul, resplendent in NoBMoB jerseys.
Fame at last
