Sunday 26th ride - where?
Finally, half marathon is over, wife is away for a few weeks so I can leave the decorating and get back on the mtb. Looking for a trip out on Sunday morning, either Ourimbah or Appin? Don't frequent the trails enough to guide so anyone else fancy it?
Wanted to post this is in 'Tentative planning' but it wasn't an option? Am i missing something (apart from the obvious) Rob?
[Mod. moved to Chat. Usually you'd place in the location specific to where said tentative ride may be, but Appin & Ourimbah are two completely different places]

Weather: Dusty and hot.

12volt battery and charger
Hi all, I m looking at building a LED light setup for camp spots during 24 hr races etc.
Currently I have a bunch of LED lights on the way that need to be powered off a 12volt source.
Im looking for a 12 volt battery rated at 25Ah or greater and charger as well. Does anyone have battery and or charger lying around that they dont need? or know of a cheap source?
A gel or seal lead acid battery would be great.
I will put a build blog up once the bits arrive.
Those on the sharp end of cycling injuries want to keep the laws
SMH article on the merits of the federal law relating to compulsory wearing of helmets while cycling. Interestingly, the poll in the article is currently split 50/50! It's a no brainer for me. Protect yer noggin at all costs.

Goodbye to Lidsdale Ride
Just got a call from SF and it would appear they need to move the logging of Lidsdale forward. Infact logging may start on the Eastern side of Forest Ridge Road as early as October.
Anyway thought it might be nice to get a fairwell to the forest ride happening sometime mid october.
The plan would be hit up the XC loop on the Sunday morning and then head over the highway to play around on the steeper more technical trails in the hardwood in the afternoon.
anyone keen?

Commute on MTB or get a cheap roadie?
I'm after some input/advice please.
After living in Crows Nest for 12months and loving the 12 minute ride to work (The Rocks), I'm moving back to Mona Vale.
Now I still want to ride to work a few days a week, but I'm not sure my Dually MTB is the best vehicle for this. (09 Trance X0)
What was previously about 7km a day is now going to be around 70km return (I was planning on hitting wakehurst parkway all the way from Narrabeen to Spit)
Should I
a) Tough it out on the Dually (running crossmark 2.1's) - worried about wear N tear on shiny XTR Drivetrain
