Sunday 4 December – Forestville / Manly Dam

In the absence of Brian and Stephe, the lads did a short one. To quote Doug:

It was pleasant with perfect conditions and extremely colourful due to the beautiful sunshine (as you can see from the photos). Rees fell TWICE, the only two falls that I can remember...apparently both caused by me (I promise never again to shout warnings or give advice about the best line)...

I had some trouble with my shocks which Whisperer managed to temporarily repair without actually doing anything except touch the bike (we should send him off for medical experiments)...you guys really did miss a good one...bit short tho.

The search for a decent bike shop continues. Still hoping the Bike Shop at the top of Roseville Bridge turns out OK, and Doug has had some good luck with Renegade in Lane Cove – but they all keep doing dodgy things. Thoughts and feedback welcome.

Very limited photos here, a couple of them below.
