Highland Fling / Wingello Prep Camp / Ride
Hey all.
Hopefully this is deemed as 'non-commercial' - as its completely free!
If you werent on Facebook, or Twitter you wouldnt have seen that there is a free one day 'Highland Fling' training day being run at Wingello this weekend on Sunday - its all being arranged and coordinated by the good folk at Cyclery Northside.
I am running the day and am being ably assisted by Australian Junior XC rider Jayden Ward - who is fresh back from racing Junior World Cup, and the Bundesliga - he has skills to burn.

Bottom bracket squeek
As i'm sure its been done to death my bike is getting a few years old now and theres a little squeek under hard pedalling from the bb. I took out my cranks and there was plenty of grease and everything looked ok but i noticed the two bearings, while still running smooth, i could feel notchiness on them but not grabbing if that makes any sense? Its a Pressfit bb30 for reference.
Does that sound correct or could that be my squeek?
Thanks in advanced.
Jono.

Rider Down 19th Hole Manly Dam
Ohhhh Man cringe. Hope its not too bad. But looked like a broken ankle or something.
Ambulance was there & a few of his mates. Few other riders hanging around.
Decided to keep going since the ambulance was in attendance.
with these things its hardly ever a false alarm.
All the best and a speedy recovery for the rider.

Manly Dam update for 09 Aug
The new work is great. Seems to be more sustainable for wet weather recovery and the lines certainly haven't been dumbed down.
Watch out for the the new B-Line at 19th Hole (I didn't have the guts to take the A line today but working up to it). The rocks at the bottom of the two roll downs seem to have moved a bit so it's not a simple roll and hang on (at least not on a 26" bike).
Get out there and have fun. It's a beautiful day!
