More LED lights
Whilst we struggle to bring LED lights in biking to life, you might be interested to hear Audi is now offering full LED lighting on some vehicles. Can't be long now before prices start to fall...
"An interesting innovation, and one that will be optional on even something as exotic as the R8, will be the availability of LEDs for all lighting functions – high and low beam, daytime running lights and indicators.
Particularly interesting are the headlights which are 'reminiscent of an open pine cone', with reflector shells arranged concentrically one behind the other in conjunction with an
AROC Adventure Race Narrabeen 29 October 2006
C'mon MTBikers, time to show your skills!
Come and enjoy a day out with some mates and participate in the 2nd AROC Adventure Race of the season at Narrabeen Lake. Adventure Racing combines orienteering on foot, kayak and most importantly, MTB, for some good times and team work.
You will be out there between 2.5 and 5.5 hours according to how fast your team can navigate around the course. You will ride, run, paddle and maybe even swim in multiple short stages with estimated maximum distances being: Paddle 4km / Run 10km / Bike 20km.
Teams are made up of 3 people who complete the course together (sorry, no relay!). You can enter as a mixed, male or female team.
Full moon...
OK!
Now, Rob has brought to my attention that this is a daggy suggestion but as we are going to farewell Brocky at Bathurst next weekend I wondered whether anyone would be at all interested in going for a moonlit ride (yes, I am still optimistic that there will be no cloud and no lights needed..!!!)
Anyway, next Friday night (6th I believe) is the proposed date...I am getting paranoid about missing a ride since when washing up last night I had a panic attack that I am not fit enough to do this Fling (well, half a fling) thing...
MEEEE
loads of fun for a quiet minute

Sunday morning anyone?
Hello!
I am working again this weekend so can't make the Saturday afternoon ride at Manly Dam but if anyone is keen to go there Sunday morning I would love to do a lap - I am quite sure that if left to my own devices I can still get very lost in there!
MEEEE
Powering my home made lights
OK so I have chosen the lights I want to use for my home made bike lights, MR16 12V leds, now just to power them. Remember I want something light weight, I wanted the light and battery mounted on my helmet, and now it obviously needs to be 12volt. Wanting to keep my money as local as possible I started searching the electronics suppliers around my area for what I was after. The handle bar light is only 1.4 watt, 12 volt, to get burn time of around 4 hrs plus some reserve I only needed about a 1 Ah battery. The helmet light was 3 watt and therefore required a little more juice, something between 2 and 2.5Ah should do the trick.
Site Upgrade Complete
I'm sure diligent users will have noticed - but the software running NoBMoB was upgraded this morning. Hope all is running well - please PM me if you spot anything weird going on - erm... think I check PMs are working 
The only side effect should be that e-mail notifications are turned off right now. Not many people have been using that because the control is a bit coarse. Hopefully we'll fix that soon and have some better options for e-mail notifications.
Update: New e-mail notification system is now running...
Manly Dam ride
Hey Eveyone,
I just wanted to ask if anyone was keen to ride Manly Dam this Saturday. I'll be riding with my twin brother. I might ride 2 loops but my brother will only ride 1. Send me a message if you are keen to tag along.
P.S. Matt will have his camera, so we will be stopping to take movie of particular sections.
P.S.S. We will get there about 12:30PM. I'll give you more details if you send me a message.
hope to see you there.
