Dicky Knees and Hills
Not quiet as advertised, but the ride today was still certainly a hill fest - 1724m in 66.7Km. That ratio would certainly be much better for the first 50Km though - if only MB would give these stats per lap. 
Changes were made because once we got moving the consensus was that Cascades & behind the Wildflower garden would be a bit too wet so we hit up all the trails on West Head to Towlers and back. Yes, even Elvina on the way back - the gang loved it when some mad fool peeled off down there. Oh yeah - and a quick up and down Chiltern too, just for good measure.
Afternoon Lap
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.
Just a lap around the dam. I will aim for 2 laps but this is dependant on the weather (ie. begins to rain). The weather is supposed to be clearing tomorrow (sunday) so it shouldn't be a problem. According to the rangers, the track is open and the dam hasn't received much rain over the past couple of days. Keen for anyone to join up for 1 or 2 laps.
My Latest N + 1 an SX Trail
After much deliberation and a futile search for a Reign X frame I managed to pick up a mint condition SX Trail Frame. Got some Totems on sale off Torpedo and a bunch of stuff off CRC. This will replace a Giant Glory that never gets ridden these days.
Crank Bros Pedals
Hi - has anybody used the Crank Brothers Candy C pedals? I have been riding clipped in for years but have always used the standard shimano's. These look good but are they practical? They also look easier to clean!
Chiltern Track
Just a short, steep firetrail to add into another route in the area.

I am looking at doing 2 or 3 laps without intended stopping other then tackling some problems or practicing skills tomorrow. Social ride but like to get those legs working hard.
