A New Hope
An epic edit by Scotty T
5 years ago the Central Tablelands Mountain Bike Club lost the lease on their downhill track up at the State Mine Reserve in Lithgow. This track was a part of both the NSW State Downhill Series and the Australian National Downhill Series. Since then the club has battled through thick and thin trying to find an area suitable to hold both State and National races again. Continued in first comment..
Snakes
Speak of the devil, just after putting the snake safety post we came across our first snakes of the season. Not on the bike, we'd ventured down to one of our favorite swimming holes for a picnic. Been visiting this spot of more than 25 years and took the camera to do a bit of lizard spotting as there are lots of Cunningham Skinks and Water Dragons but I've never seen as snake here before.
Snake safety
The weather is warming up and those of us cycling in the early morning or late afternoons are sooner or later going to see a snakie
Nice article about the facts and what you should do if you do see one here
sbs's coverage of the world champs
Hope every one caught the highlights on sbs 2 last night.
Great coverage across all disciplines, though they didn't show Troys winning run in the U19s.
Commentator seemed a little lost for what was actually happening or who the riders were at times but otherwise a great show.
The XC course looked tough, none of this flat, groomed, every corner bermed crap. Massive climbs and insanely technical descents.
The 4x track looked like a mountain bike track not just a bmx track on a hill, therefore the races weren't decided by who had the best gate start.
Rydal update for 03 Sep
All good. a bit loose in spots, especially some of the new stuff where motos have ripped into one or two corners
Big lap as it stands thus far looks something like this

Brendan L had his Cannondale Jekyll 1000 stolen out of his shed while he was away.
If anyone spots it feel free to kick the guy in the nutts and let us know.
