1st go at terry hills
In a nutshell... pretty easy, did nerang to end of long track & return. A good intro for my friend - she'll be joining me at the 6hr in october so we'll be going a bit more advanced soon, but baby-steps.
Sunglasses with prescription lenses
I Have decided to invest in some dedicated eyewear for cycling.
Would ideally like swappable lenses for night / day riding (protection vs shrubbery etc at night)
I'm a glasses person, NOT a contact lens person, and not suitable for laser surgery.
This means, I think, that I am limited to sunnies with Rx inserts behind the main lenses.
Any advice / recommendations?
Old computer parts for free
If any of you want
-a fire wirewire card
- 100mb/s network card
- video capture card
- a couple of nb3-l batteries for certain canon cameras
- a charger for the above batteries
just post in the threat and I'll give them to you when I see you on a ride.
What would be a good bike for me?
What's a good bike for me?
Hey guys.
I've just started to get into riding a bit more, and I wanted to get a new bike. I'm looking for a mountain bike that will be used mainly on-road but will do a nice job as a trek bike.
I ride around fairlight/manly mostly (although I've only just started doing it regularly), so I want something that will feel good to ride during medium to long trips anywhere around the northern beaches.
I'm just on the border of 5"9 and 6 foot, and there should be some room to grow (I turned 16 last month).
Today: Terrey Hills SOCIAL RIDE 3 PM [sunny to snowy!]
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Starting near the Japanese School (off Booralie Rd, at the corner Echunga / Durunbil Rd) to avoid any muddy bits...Easy to find - just look for the carpark at the end of Echunga Rd)
The sun is out - finally!
We'e going for a spontaneous Terrey Hills Ride on Sunday arvo, starting from the Japanese School on Booralie Rd (Terrey Hills) ~ 3 PM. Riding Perimeter Trail & Long Trail (approx 23 km's return)
According to the NoBMob weather maps the track appears to be DRY and un-affected by recent rains.
Everyone welcome - the more the merrier - easy social pace.
SMS or call me on 0408-123680 if you need more info.

Happiness is a warm shock
The local councillor is concerned about rubbish at Appin
Hi guys
Because I saw a dozen NOBMOB's were heading out to Appin last Sun I detoured from Ourimbah, riding has more energy when there's lots of people eh.
Anyway, at the carpark after a couple of laps friendly Norm who lives a few doors down and is on the local council asked us to pass the word around that they've been finding lots of rubbish at the carpark. He seems to think it's 'not you lot' but rather the hoons parking at night with a bottle of JD, a ute and too much rubber on their tyres.
There was powerade on the ground though, so everybody, please pack the rubbish out.
Stupid Technical Question
Just wondering if anyone has installed Hollowtech XT Cranks and whether you need the special tool to tighten the cap on the non-drive side crank? Cheers, Mick
