Majura or sparrow hill?
Heading down to Canberra to see the world cup leg, and thinking of taking bikes. But as im yet to head that way can anyone reccommend the best ride, either majura pine or sparrow hill. I ride fairly often but will be joined by some inexperienced yet fit(ish) friends. Looking to get them into the scene so a good ride here could persued them to buy bikes! Any advise welcome.

...no doubt this is a popular sport in Europe...
And guess what made the picture of the week in the German MTB-news?
Does this scenery look familiar?

Yarramundi Trainning Ride for Angry Dr
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Maybe put two groups together. I am keen to do some training, but I don't think that i am that fit. I have also got some slower guys coming possibly.
Works well though because it is a loop and you can do and go where ever you want and at the speed you want.
I want the morning to be rather relaxed and all who are keen are welcome to come along and have some fun.
Rear air shock, needs pumping up?
I have been riding my first dualie for a few months now and decided I wanted to try out an air shock to compare against the coil I have now.
So I bought 2 second hand shocks (very cheap) to try out, problem is when I installed either of them as soon as I sat on the bike the shock didn't hold my weight at all and just compressed fully.
First I thought they were both faulty but that is very unlikely seeing as they came from two completely different people.
So do the shocks just need pumping up?
A Few Laps of the Dam

Just planning a few social laps of the dam. Nothing serious. Anyone is welcome to come along.
Cascades night ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meeting at the power stationy thing, Ralston Ave
Yes I know it's late notice, but if anyone fancies a quick ride tonight I'll be there. Not planning on going mental, but will try to keep a constant ride. Cascades, up the steep Quarry climb, past the pump station and back down the water bars.
Cascades Training Ride :P
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meet at the end of Wyatt Ave in Belrose.
Riding the 4 gates 3 times.
Down heath, up quarry, down, up to acron, down, up to davidson, down, up heath. Repeat 2 more times.
This will be a training ride with alot of hills.
So riding will be continuous with minimal breaks.
Bring lots of water and food. At over 50km and 1600m of elevation, it will be a tough ride.
There may be the option to pull out after 2 laps depending on legs. I for one know I may not make the distance....

In case you can't immediately tell by the pictures this is a crank/BB package that replaces two front chainrings with an internal mechanism. You get "equivalent to a 22/36 or 24/38 chainring" but with more clearance (and what looks to me like more weight, but can't find those specs).
Mostly of interest to DH'ers (with lots of $$$).
