Ourimbah Burn
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Gonna head out for a burn tomorrow, probably do two laps, first slow lap and a second as fast as you can go! (Won't be that fast), all welcome
A bit of gnarly fun.

Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Just out to scare myself on some technical single track starting at Terrey Hills shops - if anyone is keen. Will be quite gnarly. 2-3 hours
Manly Dam update for 14 Sep
Some small puddles after the rain last night although should dry out with this wind fairly quickly. Also watch out for the branch when coming out of the park up to Cootamunda drive.. it's very low and has slipped further down since last week.
Track is in good shape... get out there and ride!

Scott 25 2013
Hello,
haven't seen much banter about this years Scott 25 Hr at Mt Stromlo. I've entered in a 2 man team for the 6+7 category this year.
I know a few of us from here are going. But not much chatting.
I love the hour glass configuration. My favourite is skyline followed by the Luge on the red lap.
Looks like were missing out on Internal velocity this year, but getting double dissolution & partyline on the blue lap. Unfortunately I doubt we'll get anywhere near the top or nowhere near podium....but I know a few riders from here will probably take out the 6+ 7 category outright.
Yellomundee Regional Park update for 14 Sep
Officially CLOSED by NPWS until they can put out numerous burning stumps etc, and assess trees around the mtb trails or damage. Please stay clear. Although their website may not reflect this status, they will be erecting barricades at the entrance this morning. Thera are helicopters still water bombing as I write this from outside the gate.
Thanks
Ray Rice

Catch 22 AM Dually
I am in the fortunate position to pick between a Yeti SB66C X01 and an Intense Carbine 275 X01, any suggestions?
Converting from Avid to Shimano brakes
I need to pick your brains. 
I'm thinking about switching the Elixir 9s to XT brakes on the new sled and I'm wondering whether I need to change the adapters as well, or will the Shimanos go straight on? IS-to-post mount on the fork (Lefty) and post mount on the rear. The Avids presently have that bunch of shaped washers to provide 3D alignment options and getting the caliper height aligned properly on the brake track is my concern.
"It is about the bike"... partly...
I finally managed to get up that final step up after the boardwalk without getting off the bike ! What a sense of relief that was.
Hornsby Cycles closure
A rather strange facebook update this arvo (indicating that they were too busy to keep going?) from Hornsby Cycles , they are closing up shop after recently moving from their prime spot near the OMV trail head.
Always found them to be helpful, would order things in that they didn't have stock of for me, often at very competitive prices. Shame to see them exit the scene, at least for now.
