Urban Polaris anyone?
It appears that there is not nearly enough discussion about the Urban Polaris this coming weekend. Is anyone else going along?
Its really a great fun event so if you have the weekend free you should look into it.

The missing drink bottle...
We were riding the Red Hill trail on Sunday, and were about half way through the 2.5 hour ride. My mate was borrowing my old Avanti Atomic bike as I was testing my brander spanker Norco Six. What a monster!! A sensational piece of kit that laughed off all my attempts to beat it into submission.
Anyway, we had noticed that after a while one of my drink bottles was MIA, fallen out of the cradle on the bike frame, presumably lost somewhere on the trail over some of the bumps - Red Hill being ideal for this kind of activity. "What a shame" I thought as I started recalling all the good times I have had over the many months. It is lost, out there, amongst all the bush and mud. Figuring it was all over for my lost friend, we continued on around the Red Hill loop, pressing on through all the downhills, technical drop-offs and jumps. I even rode down that massive cliff face that had me intimidated up to that point. You know the one? With the red coloured sandstone face? Well no more! It was awesome fun. 
Completed Light Assembly
Everything bolted up - there are LEDs inside each of these tubes although you see the left one is the only one with a wire at this point.
The wider hole on the right isn't an accident - the middle two tubes have a single wire entering/leaving the bottom of each (they have a wire between them at the other side - out of shot), whereas the end two need room for two wires in and out the same hole.
Mount Heat Sinks
Apply some thermal grease and fix the heat sinks. It's dirty stuff and will squeeze out of the sides of the joins so don't over do it.
Drill Heat Sinks
These sinks came with self adhesive tape, but bugger that - we're using bolts so drill some holes.
Tuesday Night Ride Terry Hills
Anyone interested in joining me for a "SOCIAL PACED" night ride at Terry Hills this Tuesday night 7.30 at the shops for 7.45 start please Text me 0412 174 282. Sorry all, computer problems so I won't be checking here for replies.
Nine-lives this is a social paced ride, more than welcome to join but at a slower pace than the other week. I know how you get your ninelives, you stole one from me last time we rode 
and rumour has it you came close to getting another one the other night at cascades.
No moon so lights will be necessary.
If I don't get any sms then I will probably change times so please send me a message if you want to join me.
Castle Hill bike sale Dec 2-3 weekend
Last weekend, there was a bit in the paper saying something about a bike sale in Castle Hill next coming weekend, Dec 2-3. Does anyone anything about this (i could have dreamt this up of course)? Address would be great
Thanks
Bottom of Hill
The trail flattens out here, after many Km of high speed downhill. If you somehow managed to start at the East end then keep grinning and head back to the car, otherwise turn on round and start the grind.
Too Much Air
We all know you're meant to put a little air in the tube when fitting, but this is ridiculous... I was in stitches at T-Bone's efforts here - sorry mate
