Bloody foreigner
Hi guys! I'm new in this forum and I could say in Australia as well. I came in to Sydney from Spain in January 2012 and I'd be glad to join you. I don't know anyone riding MTB here. I live in Seaforth and I wonder where do I can catch you up.
I really love this country and MTB, so I think it could be the best way to discover these beautiful places over here!!
I hope there is any one keen to ride with a Spaniard!! 
Heart rates for different types of training
A question for the training guru's out there.
Most of my training I do on the road bike. I do a mix of intervals on a stationary trainer, intervals on the road and bunch rides. The bunch rides here are not the easy miles variety, but a pretty solid effort (grp 3 at SOP for those who train at Homebush).
Training ride this Saturday?
With Kowalski classic comming up very soon, this weekend should feature a decent training ride and then taper for two weeks. Is anyone planning to inflict some serious pain upon themselves and wants to a to join forces to make the training extra fast and hard? I can only do saturday and plan to do 70 to 80ks somewhere. NOTE, this is completely non social. No stops, no waiting - just training.
Any one intrested? suggested rides?
Firetrails in Garigal NP?
Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how to get from near the Monavale Rd/Forest Way junction back to Narrabeen via the Firetrails. I know it's possible to ride the firetrails off of Morgan Rd, but I'd like to jump on closer to Monavale Rd.
I found a couple year old NPWS Fire Management Strategy PDF online which seems like it marks out the firetrails, but I couldn't figure out where the entry point was. I've circled it in blue, with my hoped for path laid out.

Well, the time has come to sell this baby. Its an awesome and seriously fast bike and always looked after. I'm selling as I've decided to go to a dually 29er and I don't have the space to keep this one. To give an idea of sizing, I'm 172cm.
It's current set up is 9.85kg on the bathroom scales
I've had the fork serviced earlier this year.

Track options
Now that I have sold my car, i'm no longer able to get to Manly Dam easily from Neutral Bay (not too keen about riding on military road).
I'm looking for some alternative tracks that are accessible by train. I can quite easily get to North Sydney train station any time at the weekend, and am looking for something with a similar ride style to Manly dam.
Any ideas? I've been thinking about catching the train to Heathcote and riding in the national park. Bit of a hike though...
CORC Scott24 2012
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
13 and 14 October 2012 at Stromlo Forest Park, Canberra, Australia.
Welcome to the 2012 Scott Australian 24 Hour Mountain Bike Championships.
We've Gone Global. CORC’s Scott Australian 24 Hour MTB Championships is the largest race of its type in the world. So the great fun and participation event that everyone loves is still the same, still at Stromlo, but now its part of WEMBO in Australia, Italy and the UK to provide regular world-level competition for 24 hour riders. But, to all Australian Mountain Bikers, its still "The Scott".
