Re: Adventure Ride- Oaks Trail MTB 10th Mar 7.18am Central T
To answer Stuarts question, I expect the ride to be about 2 hours from the head of the track. The track starts about 5 minutes from the train station. Depending on if you train it up or drive will determine what time you get back to Sydney.

Re: Sunday Bunches - Do you like this possible option?
It reflects the way I think - but I think it would be useful to have an agreed idea of what the middies is for. I'll give my view: The Middies provides bunch training for riders that are too fast for the 28's. The Middies keeps most of the bunch together riding briskly to Waterfall, has a paceline ...

Re: Sunday Bunches - Do you like this possible option?
I don't think the solution is to just add another bunch. We don't have so many riders that we need five bunches if they are more even in size. What this comes down to is the middle two bunches. The 28's don't want to go up to the middies because they are too fast and the middies don't want to go up ...

As I've been talked into this, I'll give you the run down on what to expect. The Oaks fire trail runs from Woodford to Glennbrook in the Blue mountains.

Re: RUBY THE ROOKIE U/15 JUNIOR
The chain line is important if you want things to last and you also want a quiet bike. The disadvantage of a 130 BCD crack is for larger chain rings it isn't going to be as stiff as the chain ring edge is further from the bolts, although unless Ruby is a sprinter she is not going to notice this just...

Re: RUBY THE ROOKIE U/15 JUNIOR
Not being able to get a small enough chain ring is probably due to 144 BCD cranks. You may need to go to 130 BCD road cranks. I'd look at going with a larger sprocket, 48T chain rings are the most common size, 48/17 will give you 5.92m roll out. Generally you change chain rings for changing gears as...

Re: RUBY THE ROOKIE U/15 JUNIOR
It's never quite that simple. The actual wheel diameter will depend on things like tyre brand and tyre pressure. The commonly accepted circumference of a 700x23c is 2096mm, so the diameter is 667mm. If in doubt just measure it.

As Tim said, when no one moves up each group gets faster, so if the fast middies would man/women up and move up then the fasties wouldn't get caught.Except perhaps the fasties, who seem to be getting caught by the middies on a fairly regular basis..... Just sayin'.

You can just start a list that is titles 'I would like to come and don't need accommodation' .
I'd say if you can do Waterfall fixed and not be dead at the end then you're fit enough.
