Terrey Hills Shifted to Manly Dam
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Due to the fire hazard closure of national parks thus rude has been moved to Manly Dam

Broken Collarbone on Oaks
Grant Shatford I headed up to Woodford on Sunday to film me for the new Oaks TrailFlix video.
About 7km in (just after St Helena junction), we came across two guys walking their bikes. I asked what the issue was, and expecting a broken chain etc, one bluntly replied “broken collarbone.“

Knapsack Reserve update for 08 Oct
Rode it yesterday, very dry and a little loose in some sections but pretty clear. No trees down that I found.

No-tow-bar bike rack for sedan?
Hi all. Just hooked myself granny's old car. Ford Focus 2003 sedan. No tow bar. Can anyone recommend a good no-tow-bar bike rack that will fit this vehicle and accommodate (ideally) at least two heavy big bikes? Does such a thing even exist? I think I've seen them around - are they any good or a joke? Many thanks,

GPS R US
As anyone heard of/bought anything from GPS R US and if so what's the feedback, good or bad?
Cheers
So what do you think about this, seems pretty cheap?

Anyone tried this dropper post?

Anyone tried this dropped post?

Is 90mm enough travel?
Thanks for any feedback

eggbeaters - how do you remove the dust cap?
hi all,
i've got two left side eggbeaters (model 1) with broken cages and a brand new unused right side one.
any chance of getting the cage across? i've tried to remove the black cap from one of the broken pedals but failed. (the plastic just disintegrates)
thanks

For Sale: Serfas Barista 26x1.3 Commuting tyres - 2 off
I have a couple of Serfas Barista 26x1.3 slicks with puncture protection that are taking up space and need to go.
Front is 100% and rear is about 70%. Turn your old 26er hardtail into a commuter bike. Grip on these tyres surprisingly good, better and more predictable than knobblies on the road (no knobs to fold under and let go) and excellent in the wet. Rolling resistance is great too.
I'm pretty sure I'll have some tubes floating around for these as well that I can chuck in.

In case anyone wonders how they are going we went to have a look today. See pics.

Energy Gels
I've been using energy gels for awhile now and always feel rubbish in my stomach during and after training. I'm even down to just one gel just before I hit the trails but still have a niggling stomach ache, though very dull. Anyhow, my main question is what is the alternative? I've been thinking about using natures (fruit, nuts etc) own but not sure which foods will give me what I need. Any advice out there would be appreciated. Cheers
