Ok, entries are now open (and filling up fast), so who’s entered, what are you riding and have you started training yet??

As the title suggests are there any dates (tentative or otherwise) for the 2011/12 National Series as yet? I’ve done a few searches on the topic which so far have revealed nothing. Maybe I’m expecting too much but as its late May I thought there may be some information out by now.

Rightio, The concept of an Unofficial Retro/Vintage/Old School Aussie MTB Champs has been discussed a few times in various riding circles in the past, and so this thread is really to gauge whether there is actually enough interest in an event to justify the effort of putting one on. I’ve...

Ride to Work Day is on again this Wednesday with free breakfasts etc all over the place depending on where you are and where you are riding to/from etc. If you don't normally ride to work(or school for those kiddies out there) is there better day to start? So who's planning on riding and...

This may just be an issue with the fun police at work, but as of today the main page currently locks up IE completely here on my work computer. I can get to the forums only if I bypass the main page by going directly to them via the address but it would be nice to know what on the front page...

Completed Photos on Page 4 I always wanted a Klein back in the 90s when they were well out of my price range and a few years back I managed to pick up this well used 1993 Attitude in Gator Linear Fade (Yellow/Green/Blue). I really don't know much about the bike's history but given the...

Having decided that I should list my bikes under my profile, I note that the field is rather limited and it gets cut off at about five and a half bikes. I assuming that there are limited characters for this field, and that is the reason, but can that be confirmed? Note this is not a major...

Hammertime! Classic video here! Just goes to show what you can do on a old GT or Mongoose and a few hundred spare rims... Enjoy! :)

John and the boys at Cyclingo finally got around to posting a few photos of the 1995 or 1996 Tasmanian State DH Championships on their blog, which included this lovely photo of a young guy called Sid – some of you may have heard of him. This got me thinking there must be a few other people...

As it is National Ride to work day (today October 15th), I'm keen to know how many members actually rode today even if they ride most days. If you did, how many kms did you do and was there an obvious increase in the number of bikes on the road? I did my normal 20kms to work and actually...

An interesting bike from the early 90s, not quite trail worthy as yet but getting close :) So kiddies sit back with you cup of tea and I enjoy viewing the bike which sporned such imitations as the CATS WISKAS and the DONKIS NOB. Tonight I present you with The D.O.G.S B.O.L.X. (Dirt...

Does anyone know if there is an official Australian hour record, and if so what the current record is and who holds it? I've done a basic web search and looked briefly at the CA website and haven't come up with a thing as yet... Update: I'm led to beliefve Brad McGee set an Australian hour...

Have been meaning to post a few shots of the Ali O single speed for a few weeks now so here it is... Some lucky Farkineers may remember it from the recent ASS Champs, and its been getting semi regular use since as it's much better to ride than expected although long down hills are a bit tough...

With the ASS Champs fast approaching I'm wondering whether I should run the early 90s rigid beast or quickly throw together something newer equiped with disc brakes and full suspension. In some respects I'm keen to try the FS SS but given my current lack of drinking ability I'm concerned I'll...
