Top Flick
Best video i've seen in ages... Solid footage and score but keeps it very simple both cinematography and gear. I love it.

Calories, Powermeters, and a lovely video
Hey all.
So I havent forgotten I have promised to wrtie some stuff down in a regular blog about training. I am just working on the format, and how to make it 'real' for all levels of rider. There might even be some videos (if JP and I ever get to sit down and plan it)...
In the meantime, I wanted to share this link with you all. It written by a guy called Allen Lim, who is pretty much a 'go to' source on food and fluids.

Cascades Monday 27 Jan
Hi everyone,
Going out for a ride on my new bike tomorrow.
Heading to the Cascades trail, parking at the end of Wyatt Ave as per the trail data on this site.
Will be there about 7:30am and plan on spending a couple of hours hitting the tracks.
Haven't done MTB for about 25yrs, so this will be all new to me again.
Back in the day there was no suspension, no disc brakes, no dropper posts.
And the bikes weighed more than the dual suspension rig I'm riding now.
Got a Specialized Camber Expert Carbon Evo and so far very impressed.

Emu Heights to Yellomundee
Does anyone know if you can ride trails from Emu Heights and link up with Yellomundee Regional park? If so anything one needs to be mindful of?

Car choice
Ok, this is off topic but sorta related.
I'm shopping around for a new car and leaning towards the Subaru Outback 2.0L turbo diesel (manual).
Its no secret why. It's MTB friendly and has enough boot room to replace my shed.
The other alternative is the X-Trail, but feels heavy. Have driven it and has some grunt but feels very heavy.
Outback seems to have the better handling but is a little pricey sitting above $42K.
So question is, does anyone have any one of these two cars and if not, experiences with a good car that are MTB/outdoor lifestyle friendly?

Tubeless
I've just got a bike with tubeless wheels and I know nothing about them. Couple of really basic questions: They seem to lose a little bit of air over a few weeks - is this normal? Also when you are out riding what do you take in case of puncture (or whatever tubeless do when they deflate?)

Red Hill update for 25 Jan
A couple of small puddles but otherwise bone dry. Plenty of sand showing up in some of the corners.
