Another ride Sunday 20 July 08
Hey all. If there is anyone else that wants to ride with another person or two this Sunday 20 July i am planning a smaller, faster alternative to the social Terry Hills ride. Somewhere around northern Sydney - Cascades, Manly Dam, Dural or Ourimbah maybe. I ride an entry level hardtail but at a decent pace and for a couple hours at least. Post back if you're interested or get my mobile phone no. from my profile. Have a good weekend! P.s. There is a very small chance i will have to cancel if i can't get a rim tuned by Sun, which is another reason i was keeping this informal.

Great article on the TDF: Pack mentality - from a free market/capitalist perspective:

Tour News - More EPO Doping (Roadie Warning)
First off, those who aren't interested in the Tour, please refrain from regurgitating the old MTB vs Road debate. No one is forcing you to read this...
Just saw on the news that another rider, Riccardo Ricco aka the Cobra has been booted from the Tour (the 3rd in this year's Tour) and resulted in his team (Saunier Duval) withdrawing from the Tour altogether.
What I don't get is that EPO was/is one of the most widely known drugs in cycling and with the testing becoming almost foolproof, what possesses a pro to go down that road, knowing that everything is at stake?
Building better wheelchairs from Mountain Bikes for the Third World.
Off road designs show the way....and make life in a chair more fun no doubt!

I'm planning to take my wife and our 3 boys (7, 10, 11) to a friend's farm near Ourimbah SF / Yarramalong / Dooralong Valley in a week or so...
Any recommendations for any family-friendly (easy) trails near this area?
Anything within an hours drive (e.g. Watagan Mountains) is OK.

Ever wanted to wow your significant other with some shots of you riding?
When you last climbed that steep boulder did you ever wish that someone had a camera ready?
Ever wanted to get some action shots of some other riders without having worry about slowing the group?
On Saturday I'm planning to have a photography day at Red Hill. I want to get some action and artistic shots, not just of others but of me too.
Closer to the 40
First time trial since Easter. Pleased with shaving off a bit of time but still need to get under the elusive 40...
