Red Hill update for 09 May
Rather inconsistent today. The isolated showers last night have left standing water in places, mainly on the open rock areas and on parts of the single track. However, in some spots, the rain has just been enough to firm up the sand without forming puddles.
Overall, not wet enough for conditions to be muddy but there was enough water on the trails today to call it a day much earlier than planned.
Do you have more information?

Take, buy or hire? - Traveling with a bike and kids
I'm off to the UK for 3 weeks with the family in June/July and I want to keep riding whilst I'm there. There's also 'some bike race' in July that practically goes past my mum's front door 
My options are:
Take my own
Pros: It's my bike
Cons: Juggling with other luggage, 2 kids, Central London and travel up to Yorkshire. Need to bag it or box it.
Anyone got any tips?
Hire one for 3 weeks
Cons: Expensive for a piece of shit spec bike
Pros: I hand it back (hopefully in one piece)
Buy one on eBay
Cons: Left with a bike to move on
Nightride sunnies
Hi there,
I lost my clear sunglasses which I use for night ride.
I want to buy new ones, maybe better quality than my cheap ones. Any advice in the price range 50-100doll ?
Thanks
Bantry Bay trail construction starts.
Good news! NPWS's Bantry Bay mtb trail construction is underway at last. Phase 1 is the single track off the Curry Rd fire trail. The more technical leg on the eastern side will be phase 2.
Some trails have been closed, such as the link to the Forestville Park rugby fields that run over the rock with the aboriginal carvings. Please respect these closures as failure to do so will jeopardize negotiations for future trails, as has already happened with Oxford Falls trails on Aboriginal Land Council land.
Simple upgrades to make for a first time racer?
Hello everyone!
A few friends and I from high school (NHSPA) are going to enter the first XC race my school has ever seen. Being my first (and my peers) race, I was hoping if anyone know's any small but effective/budget friendly upgrades to make to a bike in order to make it more race applicable? I own a 2011 spesh hardrock with 80mm of travel and we will be racing for the intermediate class mid june at yellomundee.
If there is anything extra someone would like to add, maybe about race nutrition, preparation or tactics - please feel free to share!
Cheers
Rueben
Wildflower Garden update for 07 May
St Ives sniggle has another tree down on the eastern end. Real flow killer.
The rest is fine.

1st Convict loved it
What a great day out.
Was apprehensive to say the least after never doing more than 50 km on dirt in one day before.
I had entered the event to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis so had that pushing me on through out.
That and my best mate hunting me down on the downhills!
I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of the terrain how cool was the single track!
Enjoying your training
Two things happen to me that cause me to prepare hard in reference to a certain date. The first is each engineering exam period. To put things quite frankly, it‘s a drag. I'm sure this semester will be particularly so due to it being the hardest I've done so far. Needless to say, I look forward to this period with no pleasure and will be very relieved when is all done.
