Crying Sand
Why does blinking make sand come out of my eyes? 
Yes, this was a top, top ride but not really what was intended. I had this mental plan that today was to be the peak of Dirtworks training (2 weeks out). In this mental plan I was to ride until something broke, me or the machine, or the 80Km target in my head. After having a cold most of the week figured I would break first but the trails had different ideas.
another track is about to be closed
Went for a quick ride at the 2 creeks track (Lyndfield) this morning and bumped into a ranger on the way back. He was on his way there to fine dog walkers but I had a chat with him anyway. He told me that they are going to stop riders from riding the single tracks and some signs will be up soon.....
Disapointing....... its a nice track and its closed to home
New Chain Fitted
I have just fitted a new chain. Is it best to leave the oil on the chain they come with or clean it and apply additional lube?
Cheers

The event follows 25 km of fire trails in the beautiful Blue Mountains National Park. It starts at Woodford and ends with activities and prize giving at Euroka near Glenbrook.
Pedal Selection
I've been riding MTB now for over a year and currently use very sharp flats with FiveTen's on all trails. I like to hop and bounce of little lips etc while riding along, I like 'air'. I ride a fair bit of technical single track. My current foot->crank interface involves:

New Drive Train
Ooooh... bling!
This evening the Rush got new X0 rear mech, new PG990 cassette, two new FSA alloy rings (granny + middle), new HG93 chain. The chain will be lubed with White Lightening Wax for a while to see how it goes. Tried that before but think I shouldn't have been quiet so liberal with it so new regime will be followed.
Thanks to cupcake for the SRAM tuning tips!
