Hi all, due to moving these rides have fallen to the wayside. I'd like to start them up again. Sundays work best for me and I am now over at Roseville but is there interest in a city ride again?

Sydney MTB Hi guys, I started a club exactly for this after I moved to the suburban surrounds of Sydney. Come join us over at http://sydneymtb.asn.au we are currently looking at adopting a track as close as possible to the city. I'd love to let my 1000+ group members know about this and help...

Haha I have to agree, I started with black but the blue just brings it to life imo

Decals part 1 Part 1 of decals, I like the stealthiness of the black but i;m toying with the idea of laying blue blue over the top off centered so they look like light blue decals with a black shadow.
