Trail Runners Northern Beaches

Long shot but I came along a huge group of trail runners this morning. They were running Serrata which I was a bit surprised about. Not concerned as I do believe they are smart enough to make room for bikers. Many of them were wearing the same kind of top. Colourful with a sun on it I believe. As I'm a trail runner myself, does anyone know who these guys are?

turbo trainer noise levels

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I've been looking at upgrading from my cheap mag trainer for a while and have read and watched almost everything there is to read and watch on the interwebs. I reckon I'd be happy with any one of a handful of trainers so my question is not about cost, quality, road feel, etc. Instead, my question is about the one thing you can't really ascertain from the interwebs and that is noise levels.

Lunch time training

My training time is limited - ie if I can get 1 ride a weekend I am a happy camper. Getting out on the MTB or even the road mid week is also heavily restricted at the moment, so I am left with lunch time at work.

I am pretty lucky that there is a gym, pool and a bush track near where I work.

So - to help with fitness is it better to

a. run
b. swim
c. weights at the gym
d. spin bike (but the gym doesn't have a proper one but more of an upright sitting bike)

Any thoughts? obviously you cant do the same each day, but is running helpful for MTB fitness?

no on trail status

G'day, I'm wondering about the trail status indication on the front page, is the information about trail status from riders or sourced from the local councils?

Chain slippage of lower jockey wheel

Hi all

Wondering if anyone can help out a mechanically inept mtbr, I have recently been having a few issues with my chain slipping and partially slipping of my lower jockey wheel i think that the rear derailleur or jockey wheel has taken a hit and the spacing between the chain and the guide that holds the jockey wheel in place seems to have just enough gap for the chain to keep slipping. Is there a temporary fix for this or a way to close the gap enough to prevent further slippage?? Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers

Government ministers are failing the people and putting lives at risk

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

This should be of interest to everybody, not just those who ride to work in the city.

Ministers Gay and Constance today announced the demolition of the College St cycleway.

Their antipathy to cyclists is now on open display, on a day when, sadly, a fellow rider has lost their life after being run over from behind by an earthmoving truck and trailer in the eastern suburbs.

Chapeau to Ray Rice from BNSW for calling out this bloody-mindedness for what it is.

Anyone recommend somewhere to stay for about eight blokes near the trails, for early next year?
Cheers.
