Avid Juicy 5 hydraulic disc brakes...
correction : Avid "Dodgy" Fives
Ok let me set the seen...I have been sidelined for a month with a twisted knee...so imagine my disappointment when I grab my bike and the brakes are locked on.
Squeezed them a few times and everything seemed to be normal. So I rode off to work which is only 1km away...
As I prepared to ride away at the end of the day a remarkable thing came to light. The glistening shine of hydraulic fluid seeping over the seam on both of the reservoir caps.
Update from Coffs
So, I just got this mail from Adrian. Sounds like a kid at Christmas when talking about the trails up there:
...we have race 2 of series 2 on Sunday and the track is awesome.
Weekend 24th -25th
Hi all,
Looking at doing a ride this weekend and am thinking of heading somewhere new, would like to hit up Yellowmundee or maybe Redhill, have heard lots of good things about both and havent done either of these before. I know there is a ride posted for Cascades on Sat, but its a bit too early for me!
Start time would be around 9-10ish.

Site Upgrade
Hopefully no-one has noticed, but the site was upgraded this morning. I say, 'hopefully' as none of the nice new features are on yet (aside from the expando-menu under navigation - which most won't use).
You should not notice any real visible difference. There's a know problem with browsers caching the old style sheets. If things look a little dull you may have to clear your browser cache or force a hard refresh (Eg. CTRL+SHIFT+R in Firefox).
If you notice anything funny going on, please PM Rob with details.
The good news is that some of the niceties discussed in Site Enhancements can happen now. Stay tuned!

Shoalhaven Area Ride Maps
Wow... just stumbled across this:
http://www.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/region/Cycling/...
If only all councils were as keen, there's some great info and detailed maps and ride descriptions here. The northern area is probably do-able in a day trip from Sydney, but could be a long day.
These aren't for amateurs either, check this out:

To ride up from the coast up to Mt Tianjara is no mean feat!
mt coramba downhill
mt coramba downhill comes out here - windy, single track full of jumps, bridges, drops and its FAST- clocked 65kp/h at some sections further down (not the single track though)-but its fast steeep and awesome!
Cascades ride - 24th (saturday) March
hey all,
I haven't really been on (the site) much recently, but I have been riding my bike lots (not long distances, just to work and back 
), I want to ride MTB again - after a long absence, and want to start riding once a week (to get fit again), starting last week, but it gets a bit lonely. So i'd like to meet up with some fellow MTB'ers for a nice, early morning ride. Goes like this:
When: 24th, March, 7:30am meet at Douglas Street firetrail entrance
Where: cascades in St Ives
Grade: I am not as fit as I used to be, so it will be a moderate ride
Bring: water, repair kits (punctures are common on this trail - even nail shaped rocks come about, just ask me), whatever else you need to ride a bike
