ideal MTB track for beginners
Hi all,
my girlfriend is very interested in getting into the sport of mountain biking however she has very Lil confidence and experience riding a bike at the moment.
where would you guys recommend as the perfect track to learn and practice on?? We live in South west Sydney. I'm thinking somewhere not too technical and without too many massive hills for her.
thanks in advance for your feedback.

Rock Shox weights?
Ok, I'm selling my Scalpel 29er ( classified to come soon )
And am building up a new bike with a "normal" fork.
I've set my mind on a 2014 Sid XX 29er but have realised there's the World Cup version at around $200 extra.
I know its got a carbon steerer, it's got the same internals I think?
Does anyone know exact weights of both these forks?
If the weight advantage is negligible then I won't ( 'scuse the pun ) Fork out the extra cash for the World Cup version and stick with the Xx.

Looking for trail courses for hire/permission on Northern Beaches
Hi riders
I'm hosting a National Unicycle competition on the Northern Beaches in October and one of the disciplines is Mountain Unicycling (Muni). You may have seen some of us round the Dam/Red Hill
I've heard the Dam is next to impossible to 'hire' or have approval for an organised race. So was wondering if you knew of any other trails in the areas that can be used for an organised race/meet.
Many thanks

Oaks Up and Back
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook station carpark.
Looking to do an old farts training ride up the Oaks and then back down.
Company is welcome.
Approx 60km round trip.
A chance to channel your inner Jensie. Shut up, legs.
I'm just getting back on the training horse after some downtime so looking for some steady climbing with a ripper downhill reward and maybe some single track at the end if conditions aren't too damp.

Glenbrook Weir
I'm looking at doing an Oaks up-and-back Sunday. Forecast is for a little damp weather between now and the weekend. I'm just wondering what locals views are on whether the weir will be passable.

Manly Dam - Social
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Looking to do a lap tonight if anyone else is keen.
Might be tempted for a 2nd depending on how I feel, and how late it is.

Old Man's Valley update for 04 Jun
The 2nd half of Turkey Royale from the big left hand berm to the start of Stage 2 is closed due to earth moving equipment being used down there this morning. Everything else is open and in great condition. Hopefully the rain will stay away for the official opening this saturday.
Beautiful morning for a quick blast before work
