Winmalee update for 19 Jun
Still some standing water/mud in the bottom of Bluegum but other than that it is all good. Lots of traction, especially up Bee's Nest.

The Oaks update for 17 Jun
All okay from the Helipad down. Just a few puddles on the single track. The Glenbrook causeway has about 50mm of water over the path.

Which gloves for XC?
I went in store and tried on some gloves and found that XL best fitted me. L was unable to get on without a fight and XL was loose and had extra finger length. I ordered a pair of XL Fox Incline (full finger) and a pair of XL Fox Tahoe (Fingerless) from The Bike Shed. After recieving them I found them a little tight to get on but I have full movement once on. Once out riding I start to loose feeling in my thumb, pointer and middle finger and start to also get pins and needles.
Not bad for a heavy weight
I think the new gloves I got are to tight, Im loosing feeling and getting pins and needles in my fingers. Stoped 3 times to take my gloves off and gain feeling back. Also stopped for a 30sec phone call on Bennetts Ridge.
Child Carrier
Hey guys,
My little boy is about 10 months now and I feel it's time to start getting him out on a bike. I have a commuter and would like to set up a system so I can take him out on mellow street cruises.
I'm thinking a rear rack style, but would be interested to hear any BMORCer's experiences or reccomendations.
Thanks,
Chris
