Clean-up Australia Day 4th March - Oxford Falls

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Guys,

We love our tracks and work hard to keep them great.

On the March the 4th, help us doing a little garbage cleaning on the Oxy downhill tracks and the road (Morgan Rd) back up.

If you can make it on Sunday the 4th it would be great, but if not, perhaps you can help by taking a little of the litter home with you when you ride the area.

See more details at:

Meet: Carpark on Morgan Rd, at turn off to model airfield

Hi, posting this for Thu.

How about meeting a bit earlier and trying to link all trails? (Duck+Centre+Perimeter+Long) This adds up to somewhat short of 40km's.

People not that keen can still join, as it is fairly easy to drop out half way after finishing Centre track. This will total about 16km's car-to-car.

Cheers,
Volker

Bicycle Lifespan

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I've been inspired by another Nobmobber on the subject of selling a bike second hand. That thread was about the depreciation of bikes and in particular a very high depreciation of certain bike types.
What I'd like to know is this; When one buys a bike, how long is it kept before moving on to a new one? That is, a direct replacement for that particular bike.
Many folk will have a fleet. Many will ride to work on a road optimised commuter which just keeps on truckin' however will replace their off road fun machine/s often.

Bike stolen - Not a good day

Hi,

So my bike got stolen from my garage over the weekend. Serial# WTU334605HID. I know it is an extreme long shot but if anyone comes across someone trying to huck a Gary Fisher Hi-Fi dually which is black with a white saddle and writing I'd be happy to be informed. It just pains me that these people get away with these crimes so easily.

Cheers.

Lots of chain suck today - I got so frustrated I pulled out on the return and got on to some bitumen earlier.

Get on the Mag Trainer and let this track dry out.

Creeks are a bit high. You'll need to take your shoes off to cross if you don't want them wet. That log was 50% under water. Basically knee deep crossing for both creeks.
