Back ache from bike setup?
Ok so I have hurt my lower back twice before, not from riding but work and putting shoes on. I bought myself a giant anthem x2 for Xmas and it came from an xc racer so has a low stem. I have no problem with it when I'm riding I actually quite like the setup. But the next day my lower back is agony! I work in construction so I really need my back in good shape. I do core exercises, stretches etc. been to osteopaths and so on. It still hurts. I know it's not the seat height as I know how to set that up. Any ideas? Or some other exercises/stretches I can try?
Cheers
Jon

Poor bloke
To the poor bloke who had a nasty stack at the big drop off on manly dam tonight I hope your ok. Few fellow bikers already there and paramedics. I had to stop and offer help it just didn't feel right to just leave especially as he was in a stretcher and neck brace. Anyhow I hope your ok.

Awaba State Forest update for 02 Feb
Always a great ride. Very dusty and a bit sketchy in some parts. A couple of the bridges are missing planks. All rideable.

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.
Slowly getting back into MTB.
Social pace, more about just exploring the area and hanging out with other riders.
The side bonus is a bit of a workout to help increase the fitness.

Aliice Springs
Mountain Bike OZ has a free DVD introducing some of the trails of Alice Springs, look awesome. Good viewing and a bonus with a good publication.

Training - What It Takes
Hi all – well, I’ve been throwing around ideas on how to pull this together, and hopefully you will all appreciate the format.
There has been quite some interest in advice on training, coaching, sessions, making the most of the scarce time available for training.
