    Bureaucrat's Errors Mean closure for Manly Dam

    Sad day for all Oh dear, Can I second what Pile above has advised and again urge everyone that can to attend the Council meeting on the 23rd of March? Bums on seats, aisles, doorways and on bikes outside might open their eyes as to how many ratepayers and visitors this decision affects...

    Womens DH Bikes

    Hi Hercules (and your recovering partner!), In answer to your question of what DH bikes girls out there are riding, the most popular that comes to mind is the Ironhorse Sunday. I ride one and so do 3 other girls I ride with. They're quite light for a DH bike (my '07 Expert* comes in at...

    Why dont bikeshop people want to sell women good bikes

    Find a bikeshop with a female salesperson... As Riiich suggests above, serving the needs of female riders is an issue facing the whole industry, not just retailers. It's great to see many manufacturers stepping up and investing in the development of women's-specifc gear, but the challenge...

    2009 NSW DH State Series Races

    Hi Wayne If I read this correctly there is to be an equivalent to "Expert Class" for Women this year in the form of "B Grade". That alone is great news! Last year there was only Sport, Elite and Masters. But now I must admit to being a bit more nervous.... Thanks.

    WSMTB. SOCIAL RIDE 13th april.

    24/7 Ferry to Del Rio THe Webb's Creek Ferry runs 24 hours 7 days a week. The notice people may have seen in the Del Rio Resort Office was probably warning people about an exceptional circumstance where the Ferry was due to be closed for maintenance, which is usually only always done at an...

    Who is old enough to remember this gem?

    Integra Helmet Yep, we all had had Stackhats... but I later loved my Rosebank "Integra", which was complete with the RADICAL clip-on visor and I think chin-guard, too. I remember they had changeable coloured outer casings so you could match your helmet with your fluro hypercolour...

    WSMTB. SOCIAL RIDE 13th april.

    from M2/M7 Turn off the M2 onto Pennant Hills Rd (take the Newcastle Exit) and then follow the signs to Dural and Wiseman's Ferry (I think Old Northern Rd is the one you're then on). When you go through Maroota you'll see the signs to Del Rio Riverside Resort, where the track is. You need...

    WSMTB Round 1, the results are here...

    Great That proposal sounds tops Mongoose and Trouble. I think Steve would appreciate the offer at very least. Apology accepted and all is forgotten. Not because I apparently rode with you, but because I know what it's like to say something in the heat of the moment that you regret later. And...

    WSMTB Round 1, the results are here...

    Mongoose, you are quickly devaluing your apology. "im sorry, but..." doesn't cut it. An unreserved apology is what people are looking for. I don't think I was out of order. You did directly disparage the efforts of Steve by asking "...seriously guys, where the f**ck" are the results?...". You...

    WSMTB Round 1, the results are here...

    Not on! I would like to second Marcus' motion of puttung "Mogoosedh" forward as the results collator for WSMTB club rounds this season. Mongoose, the above comment is not acceptable :mad:! An apology is in order. Just because we post on here under pseudonyms doesn't mean you shouldn't...
