Manly Dam - 3 Laps
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.
Going to try and make this a weekly MTB hit out, to supplement the road training.
3 laps (non-stop) with maybe a 4th slower lap...
Definitely room for improvement!
01/10/08
EDIT #1: Just had another crack at it this evening. Shaved off 4.5 minutes. Only stopped once at the top of the loop on the stepped 180 reverse rock platform (Gets me every time). Managed to put all my other demons behind me and flew over the stuff that usually makes me stain my pants.
Start/Finish = Cnr King/Gibbs
01/10/08
Here's my first go. Wasn't really going for a timed lap, infact went back and re-did a couple of the trickier sections. Can definitely improve on this time if I stop dicking about. Still, good to get something on the board to have a go at.
Convict trail/Wiseman's to Mangrove Mountain
Hey all,
I probably should have planned this earlier, but am considering doing some rides around the convict trail(possibly from Wisemans) on Sunday and Monday. I'm wondering whether a topo map is advisable, as I've never done it before. Or are things generally pretty clear if I follow instructions from this site?
Cheers.

Tubeless?? - Stan's No Tubes
Has anybody tried Stan's No Tubes? Are they good? does it save weight?
What are the advantages/disadvantages?
any advice please
Cascades - Regular Thursday Ride
With Daylight Saving coming into force this weekend I wanted to try and get a regular Thursday 'after work' ride at Cascades organised. We had this going for a while earlier in the year but I never made it back after January thanks to a stack!
Anybody interested in a fairly regular ride at Cascades, approx 5.30ish

Has anyone a spare Nobmob Jersey size L, I could buy?
I would like to look good on German MTB Trails!
Thanks a lot.

Winter Chain Lube
Hi all. Can anyone recommend a great chain lubricant that works well all year round? I used to be a big fan of Rock n' Roll but i found through winter that it went pear shaped. In the cold weather the particles within seperate from the liquid a bit like a Coopers Pale Ale. The when you apply it is kind of crappy. (During a warm summer day it's fine). Warming the bottle in the microwave or down the front of my pants for 10 mins did help but was a hassle (and sometimes looked weid!). I looked at White Lightning and it looks like it might be subject to the same problem.
Start of Fling Loop from Basecamp
Most of the first half of the Wingello route form '07/'08 Highland Flings
When I say this is most of the first half of the Wingello route, that's because it starts at base camp instead of coming into the forest from the village.
During the Highland Fling race the competitors don't return to camp of course, they head out on most of the WWS loop, to outer limits and beyond.
This course is hard to describe so best to follow the attached GPS. It's a great mix of single track and firetrail.
Wingello State Forest - map
Hi - I am staying in the Southern Highlands this w/e and was planning on riding the Forest section of the Fling.
Q. Does anybody know where I can download or get hold of a good map?
Q. Is the trail well marked?
Q. Does anybody know how long this takes roughly - I think its about 50+ klms?
Woftt.
The weakest link
I've always had a cast iron stomach and can tolerate most things well, I may have gone a little over the recommended dose of endura at the solo champs, probably 30-35 scoops in 24 1/2hrs of racing and never had a problem until I'd been stopped for 30min or so, I nearly missed the presentation, maybe I need a bit less magnesium this time round.
