Manly hot laps
I was just interested in peoples thoughts about the speed of Manly. I've been riding it for years and it feels to me lately that I guess because of the high traffic and slowly developing ruts and bumps underfoot( or underwheel that may well read!) that it actually runs a bit slower. It's certainly not a complaint - and it could well be because I am riding with a lighter more responsive bike or just that I'm 5 years older but I find when I'm doing a hot lap that the parts you crank up on I find the juddering seems to prohiibit me from getting to the speed that I used to.
Regular evening laps @ appin
Was just wondering if there would be any interest in a regular Tuesday or Thursday evening lap or 2 @ Appin
Are MTBers becoming rude???
So, I want to have a bit of a rant here, but feel free to say whether you agree or disagree with me.
This Sunday
Anyone keen on heading out on Sunday, I will preface this and say I am looking to put in some decent laps somewhere, however am not a A Grade rider by any stretch so wont be lightening quick.
Am thinking either Awaba or possibly even a trip to Wingello.
If Awaba prolly look to do 4 laps I would imagine.
Video camera footage as evidence
For those that commute this is encouraging. When talking about footage from helmet/handlebar cameras...
Police say they are willing to use the footage as evidence.
... although the police probably won't do anything unless you are hit and injured 
northern beaches-Sport friendly - Dr/ Xray place??
Hey guys,
....sorry if this has alreayd been covered.
Can anyone recommend a clinic or dr on the northern beaches?
Me = had yet another stack (3 big ones the past 2 months). Sprains etc not doing so well or healing...
I loathe going to drs that simply say "why do such silly sports...etc etc..." and I am really concerned about proper healing for some big events this year.
handy hints and thoughts are appreciated.
thank-you.

Snake bite..
Hi everyone
As a preamble this does not apply to inner tubes and I realise the season for snakes is fast drawing to a close....
On Friday three of us saw a dead diamond python - such a shame as it was a beauty!
I've seen more snakes this season than ever before (probably cos I'm riding my bike) and have wondered what I would do if I was bitten. So I've gone and bought myself a compression bandage amongst other things.
Can anyone refer me to any "how to" put the bandage on if I was bitten etc?
Where to Mountain bike in North Italy
I am heading to the north of Italy in september and really looking forward to some riding while I am there.
Has anyone been there and can recommend where is best to go.
I see they have some great mountain bike parks and trails but would love to know which come highly recommended.
Prali, Turin region, Livigno, Trentino ( I hear the mountain bike hotspot for europe). actualluy they all claim that.
Loking for some great downhill runs, chair lift ( would be nice) and some great xc single trails.
Would also be looking at bike hire options too.
