I think I've seen your bike around - are you the guy who takes a ciggie after the end of each run?

We need some RB stickers with customised forum names!

I stop after pretty much every run because I'm horribly unfit, but I don't smoke! Haha.
Before I got my Zesty a few months ago, I hadn't ridden a bike in at least 12 years.

I'd slap a "Salival" sticker on my bag, but people might think I'm a tad strange.
Even those from RB, because I don't post a lot!
 
Saw a silver Mazda 3? Sedan parked (with park lights on) on the lower track under the dam wall last night at about 7pm. Didn't get a good look as I was in a hurry and was riding back along the wall. Shined my lights onto it and called out but no reply. Very curious to see a civilian car in the park there. Probably had some young punks hiding in the back seat upto no good but I guess it may have been stolen/dumped. Not sure how you get a car into there, I thought all the gates would be locked.
 
Iv been riding at Lystie for 15 years & Iv certainly heard stories about collisions with Roos & I even had my fair share of close calls. Today just after I dropped in from the top of the Comm track & I came croozin around one of the flowie corners there was a a Roo on the right side of the trail, the roo could've trun right like his two other mates but Nooooo he decides to go left & cut me off. I locked up & wiped off about half of my speed before impact, both the roo & I were ok but I certainly gave him an ear full as he hopped away lol.

Moral of the story... watch out for Roos

Based on the area you are describing it might have been someone doing prep work for this --> http://ldtr.org/forum/index.php/topic,1419.0.html
 
It was pretty dry Friday afternoon, thought it would be good again today. I rode at about 4:00 and it was pretty damn muddy. Few big puddles, but it's been worse.

Nearly ran into a whole family tonight. Was trying out my new lights and they just love standing there staring and then making off last minute - usually in some inconvenient direction.

I love the roos though - they make certainly add to the riding experience.

What does "Pome" mean? I'm hoping it's an innocent typo and that you weren't being sarcastic about some much needed new features being constructed in the park. Has the ranger been sacked or something?
 
What's lystie Like this weekend after recent rains? I haven't been for a while particularly after recent drainage and other trail works cheers.

The lower trails (past the main carpark) were very wet midweek, but really nice on Friday and Saturday, very few puddles. It's rained a bit this AM, but probably not enough to have an major impact.
