Heading in the right direction
So, only 2nd lap (& 2nd ride) since the broken wrist episode. Biggest thing for me is getting confidence back after the clipped-in-break-wrist stack.

Ourimbah update
I rode Ourimbah XC on Saturday morning. Great ride. It has been shortened quite a bit. Down to about 8kms per lap.
To note - the drop-in before Jurasic Park has been cordoned off.
Loz squishing suspension again
Me squishing suspension again
That rear tyre looks badly squished! Close to the frame too!?
Loz making full use of the suspension
Check out the suspension compression! The rear shock looks like its crunching the bottle cage. Also that chain is flapping everywhere and the derailleur looks to be where it shouldn't 
interesting to see how things looks in action, esp cos when you are riding, you just hear all the clanging 
Tyres are all squishy too.
Same spot today, I managed to rip free the shifter cable from the rear derailleur....

Night Ride - Manly Dam plus extra's
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
The 1st half of the Manly Dam loop then crossing over the Parkway and riding to Forestville. After this we following the pipeline until we rejoin the Manly Dam loop. 100% legal, but there is a little road riding involved.
A touch under 15k's but will take 2 hours at night and you will need good lights.
This is a technical ride and at night it will be more difficult, so it's not for the inexperienced.
Bring a beer for post ride hydration.
