Ourimbah State Forest update for 10 Apr
Smashed out a few laps admiring the wonderful work done by the trail fairies in the last few days. Many areas have been smoothed out and the Graveyard is now in good condition. Short Meadows is still the preferred option as the lower section of Long Meadows is extremely rutted, which is a bummer because the top of Browns is so good right now. Lots of locals out this morning: wallabies, goannas and a Red Belly with a Maxxis Ikon imprint.

Trail etiquette: Who should give way on a (technical) hill?
From what I've read (including on this site) ascending riders should give way to those coming down a trail/track. This seems counter-intuitive to me though, when one considers difficult climbs.
Here, the ascending rider is doing all the work, having to work at keeping a smooth rhythm, trying to stay on a decent line, dealing with loose stuff that can throw the bike, ...
The kind of climbing one finds on the Oaks, for example; steep, loose and bumpy. Where, if you stop for any reason, it's difficult to get going again.

Withdrawn: wheel set
Shimano deore wheel set with alex Ace17 rims, centre lock.
Only the slightest of use before an upgrade.
Excellent condition, with no scratches.
Great set of stand by or training wheels at a good price.
Any questions just ask.
