Hi All,

Looking at the new 14' models coming through shortly, I've been trying to buy my new ride and after talking to Bike shops and working out prices and what not, I'm stuck on which bike to get

As per the heading I'm tossing up between the 13' S-works and Marathon models and If anyone has any personal experiences with either ride, Id love to hear it

I'm looking at about a 2,000 - 2,500 difference and an wondering if your getting that much worth getting the S-works over the Marathon, Being a lot of money I'm trying to be 100% sure before I go ahead

Thanks,

Any ideas from the brains trust for a Wollemi weekend ride??

We had in mind Putty to Dunns Swamp, however the scope seems a bit much and water perhaps unavailable on the way.

Any ideas for a loop or out-and-back, which involve an overnight camp preferably with water somewhere on the way. We have filtration/purification gear so water that needs that is OK so long as not too scungy.

Old trails would be fine, buff fireroads aren't necessary.

If possible I would like advocates and riders to avoid engaging with NPWS concerning riding on tracks in wilderness.

My reasoning is that in the Wilderness Act, provision was made to include "self-reliant" recreation as an objective of declared wilderness. When this was done, the intention was to exclude 4WDs, motorcycles & horses. Canoeing and cycling were not meant to be shut out, in recognition of low impact and compatibility with wilderness values.

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to start ride more at night, I've read riding the Oaks after dark is popular...My question is for those that do already or have mates that do what is a good light to use/have? that will really light the way!
