Capital Punishment 2012 Take2
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
The Ride Canberra site describes the main forest entrance as being the corner of Kowan Road and Sutton Roads. There is a parking area 5km into the forest along Kowan road with gates that may be locked. Call Canberra Connect (13 22 81) for the combinations or ride from Sutton Road for a warm up.
Round 2 of 2012 XCM Series
Capital Punishment in Canberra, another chance to tear your legs off.
Capital Punishment is a 50km and 100km mountain bike enduro.
This event has a huge amount of fantastic single track, is well marked and groomed and makes for a super fun and thrilling ride.
The 2012 course will be substantially the same as the 2011 course.

Communting\Training lights
I stepped over to the dark side recently and purchased my first roadie with the intention of getting some mid week training in to make those mtn bike days all the more enjoyable.
On my first evening out I almost got wiped out by a car. I was coming into a poorly light roundabout and the guy obviously didnt look and just pulled out in front of me. I roared, he braked and his bumper stopped inches from my back wheel. I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say I wasn't lit up enough. I had a pretty standard job on the front along with one of those LED flashers.

Brakes - Rotors
Hey all, looking for some advice.
I think its time to replace the rotors, (worn and warped), I would like to know what tool to use to unlock the DT Swiss lock ring on the rear wheel. Ive tried my cassette lock tool but its slightly too big. The ring has 12 teeth.
Secondly, can I replace the rotors with any rotor (as long as its the same size) and therein lies an additional question whats a good inexpensive rotor for XC use?
Note, currently have Avid 160mm G3CS's onboard.
Thanks

Manly Dam
Anyone been round the dam recently? - thinking about an afternoon paddle. 2.4 tyres should be enough to hydroplane?
