Ourimbah State Forest update for 24 Dec
Very wet, even the rollercoaster. I'd rate it red, needs a few sunny days to dry out.

Royal National Park update for 24 Dec
Most of the single track was dry with the exception of a couple of small puddles which are bunnyhoppable. Firetrails quite wet in parts.
Another day or two of nice weather and it should be green.
Lots of riders out there this morning enjoying the break in the weather.

Couple of vids from Loftus today
Here's a couple of videos I shot this morning at the Royal National Park.
Some nice footage of some of the better single track sections. Watch for the roo running across the track in the second clip.

Merry Xmas, eh? - someone stole our bikes
Hi All,
We've gone to our garage to head out for final Xmas shopping today and our his and her GT Avalanche 3.0 disc braked (entry level - but whole loads of fun for us) are gone. They've been in a garage in Crows Nest behind our car in an under building car park.
The bikes are a SM Orange/black/grey GT Avalanche 3.0, and a red/white GT Avalanche 3.0 with Shimano SPD pedals.

Withdrawn: 2005 Highland Fling Map Poster * free to good home *
Free to a good home
Get yourself some genuine MTB memorabilia...
While clearing up I have just for a large poster sized (about 1m square) map of the 2005 Vaude Highland Fling. Perfect condition, would look great on any MTB rider's cave/shed/lounge wall.
Seems a real shame to throw it out - just I've never had space to hang it.
Collection from St Leonards or toss a few bucks in my bank and will post it (folded at A4 size right now).
First in best dressed.

Is this currently the brightest bike light - 2600 Lumens!
Does anyone know if there is a claim for a brighter light than this on the market today? (Darkness Dominator - http://www.troutie.com/Products/Detail/Darkness-... )
I own a Trout Light 7 UP light (now discontinued) - 1,700 Lumens and that is bright but 2,600 Lumens. That's very bright! Is there a limit to how much light one needs when riding...mmmmm? What is the ideal trade-off between light output, battery endurance and weight/size? Any thoughts? Comment? Opinions?
Specification for this beast:
Leds Cree XML U2
Output boost 2600 lumens measured
Output High 1000 lumens

Rydal Info

RockShox Reverb Stealth.... or equivalent
Just bought a 2012 Treck Remedy 9. It says that the RockShox Reverb Stealth seat post will fit..... Trouble is cant seem to get one anywhere! Anyone know where i can get one or another similar post? That is, one with the cable (or Hydraulic) release at the base of the post so that the cabling runs internal to the frame.
