Very chunky. So do you get to keep both forks or have to send one back?

Got heckled by @Mattyp at the Youies AM race, even though I didn’t know it.
One of the toughest weekends I can remember, which seems silly being shuttled, but 12 timed runs (only had to do 6…and I did one ride up) with the hammer down, one being 7:30 minutes for me, and a tough, long pedal.
I won the participation prize, of most runs for the day (and was really chuffed with P23 in open class. No age categories other than u15).
Felix struggled with a cold, but still 3rd overall, Quinn smashed u15.
Killer weekend by the You Yangs club.
Literally.
I’m dead.

Went out to Maryvale Pines to check out the trails there.
Holy freaking crap it was stupid fun. Fast super tacky dirt, great jumps, great berms, great everything. Plus no massive slog climbs to get back to the fun again. Strong North Shore vibe (I'm guessing) too with wood rollers everywhere. Can and will recommend.
The Edge is being returned once they sort out a few things with customs. Nice shed ornament for now.
No.
Haven't ridden Whiterock. Is it worth heading there?

Not today but yesterday I headed out to Silvan and found the trails were SLICK. It was a bit like someone spread particularly oily peanut butter over a sheet of glass. DH track was the worst. Igor actually held up pretty well. JJ’s was slick in spots.

Hey! I was out there today with the young fella. Indeed, tracks are running super good at the moment.

looks sweet. Never been out that way. Did you do a day trip or spend the weekend?

I haven't been there since they turned one of the best trails there into a walking trail, but definitely some really raw trails out there that also get churned up by moto riders. The trails that are left there are really far apart from each other and AFAIK nobody is doing any maintenance out there, the trails were fairly overgrown last time I was there about a year ago.

I avoided it for that very reason lol.
Went down to the nice sandy trails of Red hill and found it absolutely perfect. But had a massive pedal strike on a root resulting in my biggest stack for a long while. Little bit tender all over at the moment haha, did the full rag roll. Bike is ok though.

Conditions look mint out there. Nice work landing on you feet after that crash!I avoided it for that very reason lol.

As far as crashing at Eatons goes, you chose a good spot at least. I’ve seen some carnage out there.
Will have to try and line up a ride some time. I’m often out that way

Yeah first time for me - not the last word in hardcore tech, but a great place to take kids or introduce someone to mtb without being boring for more experienced riders. Was just under 2 hours from there to home (inner suburbs Melb), which is about on the limit of driving I'd want to do for a day trip.

Walks the walk
Rode past the cookers this morning. They are regularly gathering at The National Rock Garden, and walking onto Barrenjoey Peninsula. We are assuming that they are walking to the closest point they can find to the Governer General's place, as apparently the road that leads inot GG's is now closed to cookers, and maybe everybody else. We had a yell at them last week, and they had a yell back.
We were going to just ride past today, but these two clowns stopped in the middle of the cycle path to fuck around with something or other they were carrying, hit the bell a few times and they just stood there, so about 20m out I yelled in my best booming voice "get off the path ya fucken dickheads", wife yelled "get a job". Fucking cookers.

his flabber is totally gastered
Excuse my ignorance, but who are the cookers? The local sportsball team? A loose collaboration of Jamie Oliver fanatics? Meth heads?
And why do they want to hang out with GG?
Excellent
I passed through a bunch of them outside the GGs place about a month back, held back on the temptation to engage.

That poor dog. Imagine having an owner that you were that much of an intellectual superior to but still had to take orders from.
