Plastic election signs
Would that interested any trail builders or clubs if I/we gather some of those 'eye polluting' plastic election signs?
Stromlo, Kowan and even Val di Fassa.....
Last weekend most of Australian MTB watched on in awe and delight - Paul VDP dominating the Eliminator, and the Aussie Downhillers showing they really are the best in the world. It felt like it would be something of a comedown this weekend I thought to be heading out to Canberra for the final round of the Shimano GP Rnd 4.
How wrong I was.
Anyone had any reviews on one of these?

It's a cheaper version of the Topeak one but it still looks ok and is a third of the price.
Just wondered if anyone had already purchased one?
3 days in Hobart, recommended trails?
I'll be heading down to Hobart for 3 days in the coming weeks. Does anyone have recommendations on good quality tracks around the area. Great single track, with technical stuff, AM stuff etc. don't want to waste time in heading to something that isn't that good. Have heard that North South track is pretty good, so will prob ride that at some point.

Wellington MTB Trails
I have done one race now in Wellington and it was a very tight track with a course that went straight up, then straight back down. I have also been for a walk around Mt Wellington and its got some steep bits and a few fairly technical sections which is why they have used that track for world cup races. I know there is one other MTB park in Wellington itself and at least one 15k up the road in Lower Hut.
Bombed at the Dam
I was the target today of a black and white bomber on the Nursing Home trail at Manly Dam. I don't recall this magpie last year, is he taking off from a new base this year. It was at the intersection of Nursing Home trail and the top of Eva's track, had two good shots at me! At least he isn't like the Butcher Bird and strikes at the nose. Any sign of him yet? There wasn't today.
Mild 60
As others have noted, it was a mild to warm day in Wollombi for this race this year. The temperature had reached 28C by the time I crossed the finish line about 11.30am.
The format had reverted to the original one of either a 60km, a 30 km or a 15 km loop after a flirtation with longer distances last year for the XCM series.
I decided to do the full 60 (58) instead of the 30 (seemed hardly worth getting up at sparrows' and driving up there to do 30 km!), along with 215 others.
CHEAP Air compressor for seading tubeless converting tyres
Hey guys I live on the northern beaches and sick of hassling my mate to swing by his work and use his air compressor... So has anyone found any good cheap ones that work for going tubeless.. and yes sometimes non tubeless ready tyres so a floor pump is out of question....
thanks for any advice
Cheers Dan
