Okay, I haven't been there before to have one good Turner Hill, but you get the drift. I've got a heavier fork for my Reign and want to go abuse it a bit, and I've been meaning to ride Turner Hill for ages. The forecast is 27 degrees max with a chance of a morning shower, so it should be nice riding conditions.

Would like to come. But stuck in the pilbara.
Maybe next time.

And Japanese whaling boats.

And mariners out for revenge.

We shall be prepared for sudden impact, and we'll make sure we don't offend any salty sea dogs.

I have one taker, and an inclination to head out to the south shore for a look see afterwards, I hear it's open now

[Doug]

Count me in.

[Jagman]

Excellent, but what are you going to be riding?

[Doug]

My new cyclocross bike. Not really, Norco Manik. I'll train it down your way? I now live a life of student poverty.

As agreed I'll be bringing my Stiffee down down there in the morning. If you got a spare roller/minion for me to borrow for the back that'd be grand as I'm rather disappointed/frightened with the Vapor on pea gravel 

[Jagman]

We should be able to squeeze three in. I really need to get my trailer registered.

I've got a selection of tyres in the shed Nick, there'll be something to suit.

I anyone else was planning to meet us there, we've moved the time back to about 10am

i really want to go but dont have my reign ready, so im out.....but next week jaggers im keen for a xc ride

[Jagman]

I have been developing my skills in the waistline expanding field, and I wish to rectify the situation, so I'll definitely be up for a ride next week Philly.

Turner Hill I likee. I saw more TTFs there I was too scared to try than I ever have on a DH track (of course, it is much longer). There are plenty of doubles there that are do or die, no casing or rolling or you end up in a viper pit. There are some crazy log rides, including a stepup onto a log, and a nice looking log that has a gap jump at the end that sneaks up on you (as Doug found out, but he very impressively made it safely).

I've newly put some U-turn domains on my Reign, and they made a huge difference, soaking up all sorts of abuse while still letting me pedal uphill, very pleased. I think I'll be visiting a lot more times, today was only really a sighter run, there'd heaps of stuff I'll have to work right up to trying.

[Jagman]

Time to recycle a thread, I've just decided that I need to ride, and I'm wanting to go out to Turner Hill fairly early tomorrow morning to get a lap in before it gets too warm, anybody in?
