Great Article: "The “Joy” Of Climbing A Hill On A Bike"

Foolish mortals, we cyclists. Like Icarus, we ascend toward the sun, not so much on wings of wax and feather as on hope and spirit, and we never get there, not even close, though from time to time we stumble into luck and clutch at the soft cotton hem of clouds. Is it our arrogance that makes us climb these hills? Curiosity? Our hunger for strength, dominion, and a ripping downhill?

Vandalism: ban all drivers!

Re the NPWS pathetic response to removal of the "no access" barriers at Oxford Falls I noticed this article (and an editorial) in Today's The Manly Daily and cannot resist the urge to say here what the NPWS would undoubtedly already be advising the Police:

Ban all drivers from all roads in NSW. Now!

Appin XC course

Just got back from a challenging lap of Appin ( and "Ankle biter " almost got me again) ,with quite some disapointment at the damage that 6 trail bikes have done to this great course . My question is , Are they allowed to be there and if not what is the best way to counter them ? there were six of them so a six motor bike rider V one mountain bike confrontation was not the way to go , specially with their full face helments ......although the passive agressive approach of riding at my pace with three bikes behind was satisfying in a juvenile way ...

Any thoughts , future actions ??

Something different

How about we try something outrageous and not give any energy or time or thought to the nwps for...say... Oh I don't know, 24 hrs?. This, I thought was a mtb forum for sharing bike riding stories and finding like minded people to ride with. Lately all that seems to be tAlked about is the nwps. I am sure they have their own site yes? NobMob used to be fun but it's not right now.
