Silly Commuter Racing
Who said it's not about the bike?
For a bit of light entertainment on the ride to work: http://www.itsnotarace.org/fcn-calculator/
I'm on the hardail. I've got the knobblies on. Looks like I might have to grow my beard back too.

Harbour Bridge Incident 06.09.12
This isnt exactly a MTB post but I'm sure i'm not the only one commuting from the northern beaches (Manly in this case) to the city. This means crossing the harbour bridge twice daily and so far I've never had any trouble apart from the occasional near miss when some weekend warrior decides to overtake at the last minute and misjudges the gap.
Until yesterday morning.
Coming into the city I made it all the way to the down ramp where another cyclist ran wide on the little right hand bend and crashed into me - head on.
Electric Unicycle Racing Proposed as Olympic Sport
Vaguely related but interesting.
How would a 29'er version of one of these go around the dam?

N+1...new roadie...with a motor!
This is my new (roadie) ride for when the trails are too wet.
A new roadie... with a 500 cc thumper!
A Royal Enfield Bullet - it's the bike they forgot to stop making....it has now been in continuous production since 1948.
I had some great times when I used to ride one through India back in the olden backpacker days...sweet memories!
Now this beauty came up on Fleabay. It is the modern, updated, low maintenance version, with EFI and disc brakes. Only one year old and you get all this engine engineering, tons of chrome and steel for less $$ than a Carbon 29'er....
Dodgy Sale?
I have a MTB for sale on a few sites, one of which is Gumtree.
I received two separate texts msgs today asking for more details to reply via email, which I did.
I then received 2 sep emails from two different addresses (names):

Nice ride pity about OTB
Its so wet, so decided to take to the road on the Giant. Did a loop down to Manly, Cabbage Bay, Curl Curl up Warringah rd, back to Forest. Really nice day to just coast along the beaches, but coming back up Warringah Rd is a bit tough.
Decided to cross Warringah Rd and bunny hop the gutter. These gutters are about twice your normal size. Got front over, but misjudged the rear and stopped dead and did a cartwheel over bars onto grass besides foot path. all in view of six lanes of traffic at set of lights.
