Chopper dropping building materials in Bantry Bay
Update on Bantry Bay. I had a letter box drop yesterday advising of helicopters operating today and next Friday due to trail building 
I wasn't home today but apparently it was running non stop from 09:00 to 3:30 today.
So all good signs that trail construction is about to kick off.
Cascades update for 16 May
It's nice, damp sand makes it hard and smooth. I rode it last weekend and there was a fair amount of water in the crossings leading to wet shoes, not today however!
Do you have more information?

Noise when climbing
Hi Team,
Recently my bike is making some noises when climbing.
It's only when really grinding up a steep hill.
To me it sounds like the brake discs are rubbing the pads and making the noise.
But when looking over the bike both discs run freely through the pads, no rubbing at all.
Really annoys me on my night rides cranking up the hills in Cascades and you get the squeak squeal noises.
Any ideas on what to look at?
Bike is Specialized Camber Expert Carbon Evo (2014).
Cheers,
Mike.
Any feedback on 99bikes shop in Artarmon ?
I am in Waverton, looking for a shop to fine-tune my MTB at a fair price before a race.
So far I have two options :
- bike bug on the pacific hwy in north sydney. They have a 100$ standard rate.
or
- 99 bikes shop in Artarmon. They have a cheaper service rate but not sure it is great.
Basically my bike is in good shape (trek6000 from 2010, not a fancy bike) but needs a some adjustments with brakes making noise, RD hanger brand new so the whole gear tune has to be done and cleaning. I'd like to stay under the 100$ if possible...
shredding the footpath?
Off chance that this person visits this forum as he looked all ready to line up at the next enduro.
Just saw something that bothers me enough to get all grumpy about it.. Enough to post it anyways..
To the MTB dude shredding the foot path between dee why and brookvale, nearly taking out that pedestrian.
Very Not cool dude..

This is where local riders now park. Much safer now at the trail head rather than previously across the busy main road opposite the tip.
Manly Dam update for 14 May
It's open and there were plenty of fresh tyre tracks this morning so it's clearly being used.
I was very surprised how wet it was given the recent dryish weather.
Lots of puddles, not very nice. If it continues to get a lot of traffic (as it seems it is) it won't be good news.
There are a few very bad spots that people are riding around and creating B lines which is widening the track and spreading the problem area wider.
Please avoid if you can - think it will need at least til the weekend before it will be dry again
