... or OT. Sometimes you have something to say that isn't about bikes (shock!) so it belongs here.

St. Helenas trail restoring days (Sept + Oct)

Hi guys!

I just received this from MWMTB and thought it might be of interest as we often talk about wanting to help maintaining our trails. Sounds like this is an opportunity at the Blue Mts. St Helena's track which many of us have enjoyed in the past Smiling

Cheers
Carolin

"Received a request from Peter Miller for volunteers to help restore the Saint Helena area in the Blue mountains National Park.
All those who use the Oaks fire trail would be familiar with this area.
See attached letter and web site http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/st_helena/
if you can spare some time.

What number comes after 6 (as in - Olympic cycling Gold Medals)?

I'm going to say it since no Aussie is going to mention it - what a phenomenal and inspirational performance from the British road & track cycling teams in the Olympics. If you're British, of course..

What next - a podium finish in the MTB events?

Huzzah!

New servers for NoBMoB?

I wish! No, just for the LHC. "The project is expected to generate 27 TB of raw data per day..." So a bit more than us, eh?! Eye-wink

Crazy pictures here:

Anyone into photography?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I'm interested in improving my photography. I bought a new camera a few days ago.
Are any of you guys into photography?

The reason I ask is that I'd love to go on a ride and take pics of riders (and have people take pics of me). Obviously a typical nobmob ride is no place for this - stopping every so often to drag out the camera would not be feasible. Stopping periodically for photography is inconsistent with a flowing, fun ride.

Rather dull and nothing to do with bikes, what's that all about?

Tour De Jump

Hey,

Ive been looking around for the jump that the mountain biker did over the peleton in the Tour de France a few years ago but I cannot find it. Does anyone know where it is?

Seems apt to view it again since the tour starts up in a few days.
