The Snowy Mountains - A Mountain Bike Mecca?
After being told that we (my mum and I) were going to Jindabyne after one night in Canberra, I wasn’t sure whether it was worth the hassle of taking the bike. Sure, I loved riding Stromlo and Kowen Forest, but I didn’t think it’d be worth extra effort and expense in fuel to cart it down all that way, considering that the lack of information I had received about bike tracks around the Snowy Mountains was due to a lack of trails. I mean, I knew there was a great DH track at Thredbo, but figured that there wasn’t much more beyond that.
4WD lights for your bars?
I'm all set for lights, but...
Was looking for something completely different (OK - not completely - LED lights for a trailer board) and came across these:

Modular lights for the bars (not sure I'd put this on my helmet)? Claimed 800lm for $40AUD.
Worth a look if you want something on the cheap.
Pushing harder
Personal record! Start point at wakehurst. Getting to know some of the better lines to take through the technical sections. Starting to have a bit more confidence to tackle some of the bigger drops and really lean on those corners. When a hill defeats me I get off and sprint up the hill rather than slog it! This bike is the ducks nuts!

Withdrawn: Brand New Shimano Parts
These parts came on my brand new bike but I have no need for them. Never used, I built the bike out of the box then ordered new parts and took these off.
Front Derailleur - Shimano XTR 3x10 M981 Direct Mount $75
Cassette - Shimano XT HG771-10 11-36, 10 Speed $50
Centre Track update for 05 Jan
Green!
The entrance of General Liberator San Martin Drive is a mess and only rideable uphill if you are Chris Akrigg.
Other than that, all good.

Duck Hole/Terrey Hills Trail update for 05 Jan
Green! Sandy in spots, with lots of babyhead rocks on the back end of the steeper water bars. The rain this morning settled the sandy bits a little.

Mowbray Park Farm
At a Glance
Events only. A fast and flowy XC track that has been tested using 26" and 29" bikes, male and female riders, 13-60 year olds, a cyclocross and one crazy guy on a fatbike.
The venue is also a working farm so there should be plenty to do for the rest of the family.
