I went for a lil jaunt around some of the roads by Mt Duppa yesterday. Quite cool around there. I might get out to Hori Bay for another looksie soon too - great roads around there.

I went for a MTB up Fringe this morning - Faark what a scene of destruction it is up there now after logging. It's funny how I love the bare logged forestry roads on the moto but they seem very dry & stark when sweating your ring out on a MTB.

Shit we live in paradise alright.

BTW anyone keen for a cruise out to Anatori in the next few weekends. I'd love to check it out & company is always good.

Just went for an unplanned hoon over the maungatap. Like visiting an old friend, and that first uphill with those new rampy things is great for getting a bit of airtime woohoo.

had a couple of scary moments though, and have decided that my front brake is not working to its usual crap standard and has now reached fcuken crap standard. I proved it coming down Hurricane hill, it would barely hold the beast back. Pads are getting thin, but will have a look at the caliper etc this time as well. Also seem to have blown the base gasket.

All in all a great 2 hours.

Will be keen on Anatori Padmei, but the next 3 weekends are working.

Don't buy any front pads- I tyhink I've got some in the shed for yur model.

You must have gone the long way over the maunga if you went down Huricane hill again

Since Anthrax is coming over on the weekend of the 18th what about taking him for a play somewhere. Anatori? We'd have to get him a bike- hopefully Schmidt will have a front brake by then...

Cheers for the pads, brakes are my next big spend, there are heaps of upgrades available. Slowly replacing everything.
I went up hurricane cos I still had some time cos I couldn't get under the rope at the top of the maungatap. Could have slid under but just couldn't be assed picking the bike up again.
Keep me posted on Anatori, and maybe I can roster my labour units to suit my riding needs.

So there is a rope at the top of the maunga? past the mud bog- at the saddle?

yep, just b4 the top where the rocks are. No way round either.

**Padmei** · 5th September 2010, 17:48

I thought it was all open apart from the rope at either end - bummer.

**NordieBoy** · 5th September 2010, 18:18

There's the gate at the caretakers and the wire rope at the summit.

No problem getting under the summit one today.

NO Fecking WAY

I'd rather pay the monies to hire a bike for him than have to listen to that bloody racket all day - if it could last all day!!

Awww c'mon where's ya sense of adventure ? I'll even re-pack the muffler with some fresh chook netting, might even have the swingarm extended by then too so we could point him at some reeeeeal steep stuff

Don't tell him about the brakes though
