2012 Wombat 100 - Tough Course
That was definitely the hardest 100 I have done. On the Hardtail with so much technical singletrack I am stoked with my time. We had rain the night before so the pine forest singletrack was very greasy.
Even though this was the hardest 100 I've done it was also one of the most relaxing. The 900km drive each way didn't seem that big. I headed down Friday morning with Wayne arriving Friday afternoon. Checked in at Cammeray Waters as I had a room in where race central was. We unloaded the car and then headed out to have dinner with Wayne, Paul and Anthony.

My XTR 9 speed shadow rear derailleur self-destructed today... looking for a replacement before Capital Punishment. If you have a new/used XTR/XT 9 speed shadow lying around in the garage that you're willing to part with, please let me know how much you'd like for it. Cheers

The Oaks update for 22 Apr
Fairly dry on the main fire trail. A bit of mud on the single track. The technical section is still pretty wet. The causeway is closed to vehicles but easy to cross on a bike.

Appin XC track maintenance
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.
Bring your own tools if possible. I'll try to ge some from WMBC as well.
We might look at doing a bit of rock armouring and drainage work on the 'new' singletrack after Kings Falls Bridge from the firetrail. I'm pretty keen to just walk the whole track with a McLeod and clean out the drainage too. That'll take about the full 4 hours if I can't get it done before this scheduled maintenance.
Sun morning Quarry trail
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Stewart ave. Hornsby
Sunday morning ride with some mates... the more the merrier
The Oaks update for 21 Apr
Road The Oaks today, no train service when we went due to some electrical failure. The Glenbrook Causeway was still closed to vehicle access. The causeway was passable by foot although you will get wet shoes as it's still about 20cm deep. Watch out for a snake about half way through the singletrack which gave us a bit of a fright!

S-Works epic 26 frameweight
Hi there,
Anyone happen to know the frame weight for an 2011 or 2012 S-Works epic 26 (ideally frame+shock+brain)
Can't find it on the web.
Cheers

Terrey Hills update for 21 Apr
Wet - The huge amount of rain during the week hasn't done the trails any favors. Unrideable before the Japanese school, the Nerang rd. end looks like someone has taken a MTB tyre plough down it.

Mountain skating, anyone?
Might be the thing to try if you're sick of cleaning abrasive crud out of your drive train and brakes, and Muni's don't float your boat
