Australian Standards on helmets
I hope somebody can advise me on this.
I use a Met Kaos helmet bought from Wiggle for mountain bike riding (excellent helmet btw). Anyway, although the helmet is sold in Australia and complies to australian standards my helmet doesn't have the sticker, as it was bought in the UK. Does anybody know how/if I can get an australian standards approved sticker being it's the same helmet sold in our shops?
cheers

All Mountain Cup Round 3
The weekend consisted of a Super D Friday afternoon followed by an XCO race on Saturday around a 5k loop with a 23k Point to Point race Sunday morning. This was my first super masters event so was not sure how I would go. It pissed down with rain and hail about 15 minutes before the start of the SuperD so they delayed it for a while until the rain cleared.
MTB - Clinic
Hi members, I am new to the sport and thought i would share my experience with other members new and old wanting to get a bit more out of their weekend warrior approach.
Sure we can all jump on a bike and get from A to B but learning how to do it properly and at speed is what i was after.
As I said on other forums it is difficult for a newbie to follow mates who have been riding for a few years and learn from them without seeming a fool.
I pumped around the internet and found a clinic held my AMBC.
I thought I was a bit passed beginner so I took up the Trailbreakers course.
Gun Dog dirty-du
I was just sent a link to this event by a friend in the area.
It looks like a lot of fun for those strange people who can run as well as cycle. As far as I'm concerned I have a better chance of breathing underwater than running 21 km...... but someone out there might be interested?

2 bikes stolen, 1 bike bought.... now how do i get to work?
Hi all
Had 2 bike stolen just before xmas. 1 mtb and 1 comuter. Managed to put together enough resources to buy a new mtb.
Just wondering if anyone out there may have an old roadie or comuter going cheap? im about 175cm tall not sure what size that equates to! Need this to get to work and back on a daily basis. Budget is low... dont mind having to do a bit of cheap repairs.
Beefy?? Oh Yes!!

Quarry Rd
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Out and back loop to get some hill training in. Will probably still be a bit wet but given how hilly it is it drains OK. Besides, I am over the weather and need to get out
Off Bike Training tips. (especially in wet weather)
Personally, I am extremely 'time crunched'.
I love the idea of following 'The Time Crunched Cyclist' as mentioned by others, but I have trouble finding 3-4 hrs a week as it is. Having a very young family doesn't help. So, I've been following http://www.youtube.com/mtbstrengthcoach & doing about 2 x 20min sessions a week in the garage when my kids are asleep. I also swim twice a week at work for another 20 min.
Otherwise, I just try to ride as much as I can. All this wet weather doesn't help - but garage workouts are better than nothing.
