Do you have older - say 40 plus - riders? Looking for fitness rides not heavily technical.

This is my first post and it might seem strange that I'm joined you whilst I'm in the UK. But hope to be back in Manly (maybe Feb) and was thrilled to find a group of MTBrs that already exist in the Northern Beaches. Am hoping to join in some rides and was trying to find a bit more about the personal profiles of the riders - but all I could find was text about rides. Can I look up info about riders??

Getting Back On The Bike After An Injury

I got back on my mountain bike for the first time yesterday after breaking my finger a couple of months ago.

Basically my confidence is all gone I rode Manly Dam and strugled everything looked ten times bigger. I even had a silly little crash in the mud and put the exact same hand out again but didnt break anything this time. I guess the body can heal but the mind needs to be retrained.

I think I will go for an easy ride up the Oaks before going back to the dam.

Any sugestions.

Is there any other's out there that enjoy bird watching (and I don't mean the Jessica Alba type) when riding or at other times?

I think I've been doing it for about 10 years. We have a fantastic array of different types of birds here on the Northern Beaches. It's really a great place to be. And now that summer has arrived, I get to see all the migratory birds such as Kingfishers, Koels, and Cuckoos again!!

Can anyone confirm this? Two wheel promotions posted it on the promo for a ride event...
I will give it a go and let you know.

Hi Everyone,

My names is steve, am as per the suject heading am new to the site, new to syd, and pretty new to mountian biking. Orginally from melbourne and done lots of road biking, however after seeing the narrow roads, and the non existence(inner city at least) of bike lanes, am not taking my life in my own hands when riding out there. Alas, have always been interested in Mountain bikeing, however, dues to the costs of both sports, could only choose one.

Rides in Tasmania?

Hi NOBMOBers.. I am heading down to Tassie for a holiday for New Years and a week or so afterwards. As I am driving and camping I will take my bike... Can anyone shed some light on good a good couple of rides I can do whilst I am down there?

I don't really have an itinerary, just Hobart until the 2nd - then I am free to go where ever.. So almost all options are open.

Appreciate your input

TA

Mona Vale DH

Hi Guys, Im new to the site,

I have been invited to go on a ride this Sunday with a few guys at the Mona Vale DH, just past the Bahi Temple and it apparently ends up at a girls high school. Do any of you know this track? Due to wife issues i might not be able to do it this Sunday and it sounds like a good place to start, having not done any Downhill before. So i would be keen to do it with some people who know it.

Might come along for a ride at Manly Dam tomorrow, where I can hopefully meet some of you.
