Bit of messing around at Winmalee again. Behold the retro roadblock.

Ah right, I should have checked out that ST, but was more on a mission to get to the lookout for peak Insta shots!
Next time I'll expore them more - but also seems like there are few rides around Katoomba I need to do too.
Did this loop:

Didn't you get the memo?
Seriously, GET OFF THE F*CKING TRAILS, you idiots.......
For weeks now I've been telling myself that I won't come on here and rant but today was the final straw. There is something very wrong with people who ride trails in Canberra. PRO TIP: IF YOU'RE OUT RIDING THE TRAILS AND DECIDE TO STOP FOR WHATEVER REASON - GET THE FARK OFF THE TRAIL...

I was going to ride Winmalee ST but felt like spending time with the kids on their last day of school hols so did Falco point quickly and then took kids down helipad trail, almost made it to the creek but the young girl was a bit daunted by the 45° boulder trail, I should 'build' a trail to the bottom, would be fun if not a nasty hike a bike back out.

New rim, new tyre. This wheel is off the rear of my 29er. Crest MK3 rim only lasted about 6 months of riding. The wheel was still true but the rim had started cracking around many spoke holes (almost every DS spoke hole). The Crest MK3 in 26" have been really reliable but so far the longevity in 29" is a bit of let down. Perhaps I was just unlucky the first time around.

The stickers were the only things holding the previous rim together...

With the duelly out of action until the new shifter arrives, thought I better get the hardtail up to spec for use in the race next weekend.
Started with doing the BB for the first time ever, (5000km) ha ha. So also now have the tool to do it a bit more regularly this time
Now just need to get rid of a horid brake squeak from the front, will give it a good clean and hope for the best. Otherwise it will work well as a horn for the downhill sections haha.

Fair enough, put the ST on the list for next time. The Hazelbrook St is another one to do.
You did the missing link up from The Grotto turn off that I was going to do. Well done, now can do a bigger loop with resorting to riding up the road.
There is plenty to do up there. Just have to avoid too much firetrail if possible.

I don't read memos. Hardly at the bottom of DH run there anyhow.
Glad you took out the Stirk v2.0's out. Winmalee has to be easier than Faulconbridge Point though.

Did you pass the YY on the way? I love Lysterfield as it's local, but if I were on the other side of the bay there'd need to be a really good reason to pass it by. I'm genuinely curious.

Spike rides the YY all the time. I'd say he's mixing it up for variation.
All conjecture on my part though.

Rode in my first Enduro today...but I had done a bit too much riding in the three days prior ! Arms and legs sore and not at full strength. Finished 16th of 18 finishers from 20 starters. Didn't have any crashes, but on the first stage I got a bit off line approaching a little ditch that wasn't very hard to manual over. Put my left foot down pretty hard to save going over the bars and bruised the big toe/ball area a fair bit. It didn't bother me too much in the rest of the event except when my foot was too far back on the pedal, too painful to push down on. I had to avoid going as fast as I had been in practice, or I would have ended up having a proper stack. All good though, four days of fun shuttling at Linga Longa. The only WAGE round of the year where shuttles are available, I'm not fit enough to do a "proper" round yet so I was keen to do this one. Depending on the category all riders had to ride/push up once or twice.

Nice lap of Lysty today… early afternoon. Rode on my own and did a quickish lap for me. The trails were slightly damp but plenty of grip. Got passed going up Redgum by a young'un and then we both got passed by an ebike. I'm not a fan. It's not the end of world, blah, blah, etc and I know I'm closer age-wise to needing one than most here, but hopefully that day is a long way off. I didn't mind pulling over for the first hard pedaling guy, as he was flying, but it sorted sucked after I realized the second one was an ebike. Changed the vibe, momentarily, till I thought better of it, and let it go.
Anyway, a nice day for a ride.

Congrats on finishing your first Enduro. 4 days straight is bloody mental!
Did you catch any glimpses of Sam Hill riding?

Had a similar occurrence today. The occasional e biker I don't mind letting play through, not looking forward to having to do it multiple times in a session as these things become increasingly popular.
