So... I just booked my flight to Devenport for the 21st of April Next year. 4-5 days later I hope to find myself at Cockle Creek Camp ground (or Dover) plotting my next move. What I want to figure out is ways of getting to Cockle Creek via dirt, other trails in that area I can head...

Hey Y'all, does anyone know if there are 10 speed quicklinks that work with SRAM drive trains that are a little more trail side installable than the SRAM ones? There'd be no point taking a SRAM quick link without a pair of plyers it would seem and I feel naked without one... Cheers Spoonie -...

Hey y'all, I'm wondering if anyone has ridden any part of the BNT in Victoria? from the route guide it says: The maps would suggest it's pretty lumpy, but wondering if anyone has real world experience with it? I fear many of the notes in the guide book are possibly based on a small...

I'm really surprised there hasn't been much banter about this race! gear, bike setup, strategies.... I would have thought it'd have the average Farkin'er in a tizz! Heading down with an untested rig really, with rain and a few other things getting in the road of getting out there, but after a...

Hey y'all, I'm going to be in melbourne a lot between now and EOFY for work. I'm wondering what the training options are? I'll be staying in the City (Elizabeth st). Are there any shop rides of a morning or other bunches? can I just head out to beach road and bash along? Might cross...

So... As I was tidying up, stripping bits of things etc... I was pulling a set of grip shifts of an old carbon bar I had and happen to notice the clamp on the grip shift has "pinched" the carbon bar where the little gap in the clamp is. Now it's likely it was over tightened on my behalf I...

While I'm opening up threads galore, is anyone else eagerly awaiting opening of the otway entries: http://www.rapidascent.com.au/OtwayOdyssey/ Mid Sept is rapidly running out ;) Who's going? who's not? Who's still scarred from the endless single track of the very first year? or the year...

Wild Horizons have gone to the trouble of throwing me a Birthday Ride!! http://www.wildhorizons.com.au/calendar/event/14-activate8lakecrackenback well not really, but having stayed there for the BMC MTB this year, it's certainly a fantastic place to be holding a mountain bike race...

Yet another stage race? http://www.breckepic.com/index.html 320k's, >12000m's of vert, 3000m's of altitude, I think not! I like the disclaimer: "if you're the type of guy who likes to give yourself one extreme challenge once a year...well, this is probably not the event for you. The...

Ok, So I'm contemplating a new HRM. I currently have a Polar AXN 500 which has served me well over the last 4 or 5 years, been reliable and comes with great software but starting to consider if it's time for an upgrade or replacment. Primary reasons are less bulky wrist thingy and...

Hey y'all, First off I wanted to thank everyone for a successful 2009 NSW XC State Series! Even with a shorter format of 4 races, we attracted more riders over the series than we have in nearly 6 years. I wanted to throw out some ideas for 2010 while the series is fresh on everyones minds...
