Suggestions?: Chatswood planning a mini bicycle film festival (from Bike North) [bn_willoughby]

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

All,

Willoughby Council is planning a mini bicycle festival (two films and some shorts) for Bike Week this year (Sept). They are currently investigating venues and day of the week. They obviously want it to be a success and are asking for input to their planning so that it will be successful.

WARNING...Road contents

I apologise for the non-MTB content, but some of you (you know who you are - not you Liam!)train on the road and can probably give me some good advice on buying a second hand road bike. It's going to be a little brother for my mountain bike...

First of all, does anyone know what FELT bikes are like? I saw a second hand one (see link). What do you think?

What components do I need to watch out for (i.e. what not to buy).

Thanks
Anke

"Aussie" Moonride...NIGHT RIDERS!

For all the keen night riders out there ...

For the last 10 years the Kiwis (!) organised a fantastic "Moonride Festival"...

Sounds like a lot of fun!

See http://www.moonride.co.nz/ for details and videos...

I'm gauging interest for a similar event - here in the beautiful nightlife of the Kuringai/Garigal woods...(we can start small - the kiwis limit theirs now to 390 TEAMS...)

Would you be interested?

Road Rage against cyclists! :o

Did you see the news about the southern cross drive this morning?

http://www.smh.com.au/news/beijing2008/angry-dri...

Its why my run into mascot was somewhat disrupted...

Mate there are some impatient fu%#ers out there! And at 6:30am.... as if there is much traffic then anyway... on a 3 lane highway... plenty of room to pass!

GRRRR..

This is why I'm scared of road riding :\

Anyone up for an Andersons + Oaks this sunday ?

I'm thinking of riding Andersons + Oaks this sunday. I didn't get a chance to ride the late one organised here.

So would anyone be interested in a medium-fast paced ride catching the 9.23am train from Glenbrook (or 8.18am from Central) ?
I didn't do the Dirtworks last weekend Sad which is why I'm keen for this long ride Smiling

Cheers,

Noosa Enduro - advice pls

So, with the memories of finishing the weekend's race still fresh (albeit the 50km in 3:15) and the memories of the pain fading, I was thinking about another endurance type event, and the Noosa Enduro (http://www.usmevents.com.au/enduro/index.html) seems to hit the spot. With 8 training weeks to go, was even considering the 100km....

Has anyone done this event in the past? How does it compare to the Dirtworks or common Sydney rides? Would really appreciate any advice / info etc before my enthusiasm gets the better of me and I push that confirm button...

Thanks,
Tom.
