Slammin replied to Eddie Bye's discussion Commuters could be nicer… I guess…"The safest option is to slow down in these conditons and be alert.

Slammin replied to Karl Harder's discussion Clipsal - Fullarton Road Traffic"Normally by the Thursday or Friday drivers have remembered what its like at "Clipsal time" and start going earlier, later, dare I say ride their bike, so it does get easier along Fullarton road by then.

Slammin replied to Dstone's discussion CX riding"I reckon an urban CX in the Adelaide Uni campus - lots of stairs, ramps plus a bit of grass and curb work. It could easily be bunted off and the Uni students can drink lots of beer and hurl abuse at us :)"

Oops, clicked "like" my own video by mistake. Although its not bad ;)
If you ride the Pioneers Womens Trail or would like to, then send a letter of support to the Burnside council. Burnside council are in the process of deciding if this trail will be open to cyclists or not and we need to get the message out there that we do want to share and have access to the Adelaide Hills trails both locally (in the foot hills) and further a field in selected recreational parks.…

- It's the image I thought would be good but could you put the words at the top? If you look at thensliding images there us the opaque black band at the bottom and the copy I can add goes there.
Actually, I'll turn off the band for this.. It'll make it more interesting to click on. If you do another on in a couple of weeks consider that.

Yeah the CORC lads do an awesome job with organising races, social events and getting the local MTB community involved in maintaining our mecca of trails.
I have been doing some web searching in relation to the MTB world in SA and it look great. Will definitely be in contact with your club, when I come down for a visit (bit of a look around) early in January next year.
