Mount Annan Botanic Garden update for 12 Sep
Dry and a little dusty in a few places. That magpie is evil. Stick to green loops if you want to avoid it.

Withdrawn: Widget 30t
30t Widget for sale. This is 64BCD.
I'll include a few BB spacers as you'll need to adjust your chain line a little.
The chain ring itself if is great condition, the guides however are scratched up. No dings from impact, just my chain line not quite correct when I installed it initially. No longer needed as I'm running SS.
I live near Morisset (south of Newcastle) but I do work in northern Sydney occasionally.
Postage... $6? I guess?
Rideeye Cycling 'black box'
Given other discussions going on around here, this could be a timely project:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rideye/ridey...
What makes this interesting is that it has claimed 12 hour battery life, and records a 1 hour continuous loop which is saved at the press of a button or if the unit detects a crash.
Little heavy at 300g, but it's built to survive a crash and the price is good.
Any backers?
Withdrawn: 29 er tyres
After 29er tyres for my bike with more than 75 percent tread , I got a sidewall tear in mine today , I wish it was at Stromlo but it wasn't
Bike transport options with Hire Car
Getting down to planning for my first MTB race travel/holiday event at the Cape to Cape. I'm flying to Perth then hiring a car to drive to Margaret River and would like to know if anyone has had any experience with travelling in a hire car with bike? I am assuming the boxed bike will fit in the back (have hired RAV 4 or similar) for the trip down from the airport but will need to get from accommodation to start and back each day plus would love to keep the bike assembled for the few days we plan to spend exploring the region after the race to sneak in some more riding.
Lane Cove National Park update for 11 Sep
Rode through from Gloucester Ave to top of Devlins today. All good. Fire trail from De Burgh's Bridge up to Yanco Rd is also fine. All work on the aqueduct now finished and the construction camp has been removed.

Cascades Wildlife
The local wildlife is out in force. Yesterday almost ran over a Green Tree snake on the middle bitumen hill up Cascades. Freaked me out as wasnt sure what is was and small head looked angry. Then he reared up and turned into the bush after I got a photo. Then tonight thought I saw a bandicoot, but it hopped. Just looked it up and it was a Long Nosed Potoroo (size of a rabbit, but not a rabbit) - very rare.
here we go wheel size debate
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-au/technology/t...
Giant bicycles have an analysis on their web site touting the benefits of the 650b wheel size over the 26" or 29" siblings.
It makes the argument that the 27.5" wheel size is the holy grail. As a prospective new bike buyer I'd like comments from some one who has owned all or some of the different wheel sizes. I ride locally so it's a mixed bag as you know.
Bare Creek Bike Park Plan
Just spot that on http://www.trailflix.com.au
The Belrose Waste Management Centre (BWMC) in Northern Sydney ceases landfilling municipal solid waste no later than November 2014 and an exciting opportunity will emerge to redevelop the site for recreational uses. Previous (preliminary) planning investigations and community consultation have confirmed a demand for a bike park at this site and an Enhancement Fund of approximately $3.5 million will be available to turn this vision into a reality.
