Bike cleaning
Just wondering what you guys use to clean your bikes with? I'm using Truck Wash which does get the bike clean but am having trouble with my disk brakes not working as well and squealing a bit (new model XTs, not Avid btw) and wonder if the wash is leaving a residue on the disks. Once you get a bit of heat in the rotors they're fine again but do wonder if washing is the culprit.

Typical situation in France
Warners Bay update for 29 Sep
Perfect conditions. Trails are dry and fast. I entered via the GNW trail off Anjon St and went through the by-pass tunnel. There has been some burn off over the Warner Bay side. This really only effects the tight, looping single track on the Western side of the power easement. Didn't come across any snakes on the trails only some golf balls.

Awaba Ride Saturday 28th Sep
Anyone heading to Awaba tomorrow in lieu of Glenrock being closed?
I'm banned from riding by myself so if anyone else will be out there early tomorrow that would be great.
Looking to do some sub 40 min laps of the red xc track.
Cheers
Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 27 Sep
Here is a status for Glenrock today taken from the GTA Facebook page.
I am a little ashamed to admit that I went up to glenrock this morning. Cool and still... I thought "what could possibly go wrong?" We called 000 and bailed to fernleigh track and out.... A couple of spots are on fire again, from remnant embers. As the breeze has picked up they have lit up more underbrush.
Stay away today!
Best to stay out until it is all under control.

Wiggle Australia price match plus 10% off promise
While we encourage everyone to support local bike shops... it's understandable people shop around on-line for deals from time to time.
Right now Wiggle.com.au have a great price promise running: for delivery to Australia, they will not only match, but promise to beat any price inclusive of delivery by 10%.
Note that CRC have up to 50% off Shimano this weekend, and with Wiggle pledging to beat any advertised price... you know what that means! 
BTW, this covers everything Wiggle sell, I only mention Shimano as an example. Details on the promise are here:
Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 26 Sep
Just went to the beach and there is a bushfire in Glenrock. You can see the flames from the top of the sewerage works road and the fire brigade is using a helicopter to water bomb the fire. Looks like it is around hang ten snakes and ladders area but probably more towards the water, however that is just what I could see from the road. All in all I would say give glenrock a miss at the moment.

New rider suggestions
Hey all,
My girlfriend and I made our way out to Glenrock recently and rode the beginners trail and seismic. We are new to the area and relatively new to mtb riding and wanted some suggestions for what tracks we should try out on Glenrock that are relatively beginner friendly but offer a challenge!
We both have relatively decent bikes (xc hardtails with rockshox/fox forks and the accompanying hardware that comes on bikes with such forks), so bikes can handle most tracks if they don't have drop offs (Not that we are confident to tackle any drop offs yet).
