A Hard Earned Podium Position
I went in to the race with a lot of trepidation given I knew my training was not up to scratch. I blame my wife, and the 3rd child we had at the end of May Jokes aside, I have been on a restricted leave pass which was meant training was restricted to 2 morning rides during the week and 1 ride on the weekend to be home by 10:30. The problem with this is that with interrupted sleep from the bub, I just could not set my alarm early for longer rides.

Distractions for the family at Ourimbah?
This looks like fun...
... not as much fun as riding your bike mind
Anyhow - it could be an option to keep family/friends entertain while riding?

Manly Dam update for 21 Nov
comming down the right at Cootamundra Drive on a road train with 4 of us on top of each other . There is a tree down across the track. It was clear about 45 minutes prior to that. Must have been the shockwave of mach 3 when one of our the rider went past to meet us at Bangeroo
Anyway just beware if you are riding fast in a group. We had serious emergency braking going on.

Hi Folks,
After steaming up in the morning heat, I took them off and they fell out my pocket. They are clear lens.
Please contact me if you find them.
Thanks

For those heading to NZ: Cadrona lifts open to bikes in December
I just noticed this in the news. If you're planning a trip to UnZud over the holidays maybe it's worth a look?
They do say there will be some XC trails but I'd imagine it's mainly gravity orientated.
The ‘Cardrona Bike Park’ will open for 10 days in total, from Dec 27th – 31st and from January 3rd – 7th. The Whitestar Chairlift will operate daily from 10am-4pm offering lift accessed trails for Downhill mountain biking enthusiasts.
Looks a little nippy

Manly Dam update for 18 Nov
Its been dumbed down. the main fire-trail has started packing down it is pretty fast. Its favorable conditions for all your PB's
but save those hot-laps for when there is not much traffic about.
