Thredbo: Best Tyres
Hi guys,
Heading to Thredbo next week, aiming to do the Flow and All mountain trails.
I've got a spare wheelset for my Anthem 29er, and thought I might get alternate set of tyres. Default set came with Maxxis CrossMarks, which seem ok for Manly + OMV.
I'm able to grab a set of Maxxis Ardent 2.4's off a mate for the spare wheelset, which I thought would be ideal for chairlift Flox/AM trails at Thredbo. Both wheelsets setup tubeless.
Any thoughts, or suggestion otherwise?
thanks, damien
not intended as irony but...
Due to 50+ mm of rain in the area in the last two days I am out on my mtb riding on the road ( for which neither the bike nor rider is particularly suited,) when I notice six cars parked close to the start of the local "secret" track.
I take a squizzy and sure enough they've ridden into the trail, including an instructor from Sydney bike skills.
Now I don't mind riding in the wet and I am definitely not arrogant enough to tell people not to ride in the wet "cause they'll damage their drive chain etc.

Hi Guys -
New to town.... 31 years old and a local business owner. Re-located from Vancouver, Canada and just picked up a new Specialized Camber 29'er
Very interested in doing some trail riding and learning the area with some people.
Anyone interested? Pretty free most evenings past 5pm and weekends can be open.

New to Town
Hey everyone -
Thought I would introduce myself!
Just moved to the Northern Beaches from Vancouver, Canada back in January. Recently married and purchased a company out of Mona Vale so my stay is permanent.
Picked up a new Specialized Camber 29 and looking to get out on the trails.
New to the area and haven't had a chance to meet any new people yet. Would love to get out on the trails and meet some new people.
Feel free to send me a note if anyone would like to head out and have some fun on the bikes.
Cheers
Jason

Looking for trails/someone to show us around / Sydney/Gold&Sunshine Coast
Hi there!
My girlfriend and I are on a three months trip through Australia and NZ. Unfortunately bringing our bikes was no option and I thought three months would be ok without riding... Turns out it's not! 
I find myself searching for Australian bike forums every other day.
This might be a crazy idea, but I was wondering if maybe someone would take us for a ride on a local trail? Obviously we'd need bikes, too... But I'm guessing there are rental companies with decent bikes around?! Or maybe someone even has a spare one?!
Silly bike laws! What's the impact to MTB?
If you have't seen Duncan Gay's latest bright idea read here.

What's the impact for MTB though? Many of us ride on public roads to get to trails or connect rails together. I don;t think any of us would ever head out on on MTB ride without a helmet so that should;t be a problem.
What about pure fire trail rides though... or even events that use management trail?
Snakey did it...
Came face to face with a brown snake, crossing the trail at the kids playground before Cootamundra drive. Keep your eye out!
