Manly Dam Volunteer Trail Maintenance Returns!
After being put on hold since 2008, volunteer trail maintenance is at last about to return to Manly Dam.
The first day will be this Saturday 8 September 2012 from 9am-3pm.
Numbers are limited, and will be on the basis of first in, best dressed.
You will need to complete and sign some paperwork, and attend a short safety briefing at the start, so being punctual will be important (note to self!).
BBQ afterwards courtesy of Trail Care.
Please RSVP to Spindog (http://nobmob.com/user/2162) with name, email address and mobile phone number.

Mount Annan lap distance confusion
Hi,
According to the Mt Annan enduro trail map at http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_f... the full lap of the trail is 4+3=7km. However, looking at the results of the Round 3 Shimano MTB GP and calculating the distance from my average speed and time the lap comes to 12km. Have they made a mistake with the average speed calculation or is it actually 12km? Would be good to know whether I did X or 12/7*X km...

My Italian Stallion (N+1)
I picked her up this afternoon and took her a spin around Sydney park, first impressions are great.
The real test will be this weekend on the trails, I see there is a club race at Yellowmundi, which is tempting.....
Edit: It's a Bianchi Jab 29.1 with the fork upgraded to a RS Reba.

Down but not out in Wollombi
Wollombi Wild Ride - I had no idea what to expect. Looking back on it, I don't really know what to think.
I havent bothered to check the results, I don't know where I came. I have listed myself as 30th - but it could have been a bit better, or a bit worse. Its irrelevant frankly.
Having been away home for the Olympics, I always knew I would be missing a bit of something. What it was, I couldn't tell you.
