Awaba State Forest update for 16 Jul
A few little muddy sections that will dry out if the rain stays away - otherwise pretty good.
Do you have more information?

n +1 help
The time has come for me to upgrade my 26" HT after a year of great service. It's given me the MTB bug and taken all the stacks and abuse I can throw at it. I'm probably going to retire it to a road training bike now to keep the k's down on the new bike.
My budget is around $2k so I'm looking at another hard tail. I've not ridden a 29er yet but I think that's the direction I'm going to go, I felt out of place on a 26" bike at Awaba last week!
The 2 bike I'm looking at are:-
Giant XtC 29er 0

Fork upgrade
Hey all,
I own a 2010 Jamis Trail X3 with factory fitted RSL Gila T9 forks.
I've noticed that they have started to leak oil, and constantly bottom out/top out when riding. I'm keen to replace these with something a little better.
Any recommendations? I manly ride single track/fire trail, but also ride to work at the weekends (6km ride each way up/down hills on paved road)
Cheers
help with wider handlebar choices
Hi,
as the title suggests i need to figure out if i need wider handlebars (i want them but thats not enough)
I have a 2011 XXL stumpjumper with 690 wide handlebars, however i have noticed that while i am traveling at speed (especially downhill technical sections) my hands tend to move further outwards on the bars to the point where i am holding them with only half of my palm.
also as the ride progresses i tend to find myself moving my hands further out.
just to give you an idea, i am 6'7" about 300lbs and have very wide shoulders (i don't have a measurement currently)
Fork upgrade
I've got a 2010 Jamis Trail X3 - (one of these: http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/hardtails...) with the stock standard RST Gila T9 fork.
I'd like to replace these with something a little better. The current forks are leaking, and bottom out/top out frequently.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I mostly ride offroad (Manly dam etc), but do the odd on road stint to/from work too (6 k's each way), so a lock-out would be nice.
HMBA XC Round 7 - Singleton 3 hr Enduro
Great day out, again weather was very kind for this one, and the track had dried out to perfection.
Well organised club day as usual - thank guys.
Track was in great condition, and the extra track additions to bring it up to 8.5 - 9km make it worth the drive - well done track builders.
Pretty happy with this result, but had to work pretty hard for it. I think I am definitely cut out for the enduro style, as putting out very consistent medium / fast laps has you catching the fast guys in the 3rd and 4th hour. much harder to catch them in the shorter 1-1.5 hour format.
Singleton 3hr - 2012
I did the Singleton 3 Hour today.
A big thank you to the local trail builders and HMBA. For $10 you get an awesome track, awesome organisation and the results have already been posted. What more could you want 
This was my first race I've averaged over 20km/h

Cascades update for 15 Jul
Marginally damper than last weekend. A few puddles and you'll need to clean your bike afterwards pretty thoroughly, but otherwise pretty rideable. One of these days I'll get up Quarry Climb without stopping.

Terrey Hills update for 15 Jul
Rode from the Japanese school. A few mud puddles, but nothing serious. Most can be avoided
