Thoughts on these trails...

Just rode Yellowmundee and loved it....thanks to the WSMTB who maintain it....nice, flowy, fun, fast....

So i am just curious how some crew out there would rate the following tracks in terms of difficulty, fun, fitness level, flow....and any other info they may wish to add...have chosen these cause i either regularly ride them or rate them as my favs....

Ourimbah, Menai, Yellowmundee, Manly Dam, Coondoo

Maintenance Fail

...the premier, who often cycles to work, had a minor accident when her handlebar separated from her bike...

Oh dear. I imagine it was a bit like this:

Dumb question

Guys need all new drive train for my Specialized XC Comp.
Want to order from overseas.
How do I find out exactly what I have on there already as I want to order the exact same cassette, chain rings etc.
Probably a stupid question but as I'm also in the middle of building a house and need about 50 hours in every day to get it finished I don't have time to pull the bike to bits for no result.
Cheers fellas....er....and ladies.

The bike snob's guide to cycling tribes

Bearded messengers, fixed-gear freestylers, laid-back contraption captains … Eben Weiss, the razor-sharp blogger behind Bike Snob NYC, offers a merciless velo-taxonomy of two-wheeled clans.

Just seen this article in the Sports section of the Herald, a Glasgow broadsheet newspaper ( right alongside the reports of the latest Celtic Rangers football match).

The level of government and non government cooparation and involvement sounds great........ maybe we can dream of something similar ?

Ryde Ride

I was heading out to ride at Wisemans on Sunday morning however hit the rain on the M2 about Beecroft and thought better of it - so headed back to the city via the Beecroft turnoff and down Epping road. Right at the top of Epping Road there was a bit of reserve and I saw 2 mountain bikers coming out of what looked like dense bush onto the road. I wondered if anyone knew whether this was real riding tracks or these guys could have been bush bashing?

.... Thanks Guys, good to blow the rumour away. Cheers

Hi Nobmobers,
Heard a rumour that the guys that set up the Warrimoo DH track got slammed with a fine. Anyone know the facts?
Cheers.
