Kiwarrak to be bulldozed?
I heard some very disturbing news during the week... Kiwarrak is scheduled to be logged by Forestry in 2015.
Apparently they will "do what they can" to retain as much of the trail network as possible, but of course the awesomeness we know and love opposite the tip will never be the same.
Sounds like we need to organise a weekend away real soon. 
Manly Dam update for 29 Mar
Considering all the rain the track is very good. Couple of puddles only.

For Sale: Stevens prestige cyclocross bike
Hi there,
Ok, I thought Mtbs were the only way of enjoying cycling. I started racing some of the manly club cx races on my mtb HT and then i was hooked. I had a lot of mtb and road bikes parts sitting at home doing nothing so the stevens frame was the way to go. This brand rates very high in the euro CX scene.
The frame build quality is what you expect from a german bike so it looks and ride amazing. I only did a handful of races on it and it was great but the minister of finance approved a carbon rig and now this one has to go.
My chain sucks
I've recently changed the chain and cassette on my bike and I'm getting a lot of chain suck at the underside of the cranks just where the chain should part ways with the chainring and head to the back wheel. It's particularly bad when under load on the granny ring and was especially bad on lap 5 of a very muddy Awaba today. The new chain has a split link in it.
Just looking for thoughts from the group - would you suggest removing the split link or does it sound like new chainrings might be required?
[Mod. moved to MTB gear]
Awaba never dissapoints
Single track was damp but improved throughout the day. The firetrail was quite sketchy and very wet in places.
Made for a great race.
Thanks to all involved for organising and thanks to Staffan for the tyre, I'm going to leave it on for a while, I quite liked it.
Cascades - social
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.
Will try and do the 4 gates.
Relaxed pace but will still get the heart pumping.
Just hope the rain stays away.

Buying a new saddle
Looking to buy a new MTB saddle for the Reign this week. Previously been riding on Fizik Gobi's which I have been happy with, but there isn't enough clearance over drop post lever.
Hoping I can get good advice on a comfortable saddle. I don't ride more than 30kms and don't care about light weight. I know its personal but looking for input from those that know.
