Are there any groups doing early morning weekday rides?
I sadly have to work weekends and some weekdays, but when i can I love to go for a ride before work mainly at Manly Dam. So far iv been pretty much riding on my own and as nice as the serenity is I feel with a group id me more inclined to push my self harder. Are there any other riders or riding groups that do regular early morning rides that finnish by 8:30? I would love to start joining some groups to meet other riders and advance my riding.

Breathing life back into a hard tail MTB frame
So I've just finished a project building-up this 8 year old Legless Lizard mountain bike frame as a single speed flip-flop fixie. The frame has been in a bike bag in the garage for years now and its great to be able to breath life back into it.
If anyone's interested in doing something similar, or just interested in what went into it, I kept a blog of the process. Check it out http://hybridbike.posterous.com/ be good to hear your thoughts on whether the flip-flop system is innovative or not? I've not seen many around, but then I don't hang-out much in the fixie world

Interesting article by Richard Hinds in the smh today http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cycling/backpedallin....
I'm a huge Lance fan but I am starting to have my doubts. If the reports about Hincapie are correct it will be pretty damning, the first from someone not caught already.
Hello, my name is....
Arik... I though I'd introduce myself since this is my first time here. I am pretty new to Sydney and entirely new to mountain biking in Sydney (or Australia for that matter) but I've been self propelling for years. I got my MTB shipped over here and I've become a little sick of just looking at it and thought its about time I figure out where to ride! I don't have a car, so if there are any suggestions or people riding within ride-shot of Chatswood I would love to know. I've heard Manly Damn is a good spot, looks like sort of a stretch to pedal on knobbies all the way there though...
Broke my baby....
...and it wasn't even a big hit! Just one of the water bars ay the dam.
Turns out the Rocky isn't as strong as I thought it was...
I'm going to self medicate with Coopers. 
First ride back :D Stoked
Just thought id share the stoke.
Well after a 6 year break and a Knee reconstruction i hit the trails for the first time with my new bike and i am truly STOKED !!!
What a great sport!
Hey guys. Just thought it would let everyone know about a fantastic experience I had with a few other riders in Terry Hills last night.
Innovative new bike build - The Hybrid Flip-Flop Fixie
I've been thinking about what to do with an 8 year old mtb frame I have for a while. Last week I was browsing online and found this fixie solution from Velo Solo that enables you to fix the cog onto the disc brake mount. This means that on the freehub side, you can run another cog, making a hybrid flip-flop fixie & free wheel bike (flip-flop because you can flip the wheel over to change 
). See picture it makes way more sense... so that's the project. A hybrid front suspension freehub street bike or a super fast fixie for getting to and from work nice and quick.
First DW experience
Here is a photo montage of my 1st Dirt Works, didn't quite go to plan!!
A big thanks to those volunteers who looked after me and a few cheers & beers to Tarren & Andrew who got all my stuff back to Sydney car & bike included, I owe you a cold one.
