MTB at Paremoremo
March 15th, 2006 by Sarah KingThis has to be a potential jewel in the crown and it would be great to see the North Shore City Council embrace this idea.
Vorb have the full story on the proposed Sanders Reserve and full credit to them for spreading the word.
DropIn TV
March 3rd, 2006 by Sarah KingNo problem knowing where you’ll find me on a Thursday night – gazing at the square box with my pulse rate up through the roof! DropIn TV has started and it’s a blast (check out their teaser). I actually have to remind myself that I can’t actually ride like that but maybe the visualisation works!!!

Woodhill Train Station
February 16th, 2006 by Sarah KingWell, it would make a lot of sense wouldn’t it?
I’m surprised Maxx & co haven’t smelt the CRC and decided to cash in on their existing, but seemingly idle infrastructure.
3 trains a day on Saturday and Sunday
I’d run 3 trains each weekend day up to Helensville, one early in the morning, one arriving in Helensville in time for lunch and another later in the afternoon. Read the rest of this entry »
Bikewise
February 5th, 2006 by Sarah King
Bikewise is an initiative to encourage NZ’ers onto their bikes and it’s held in the first week of February. Never mind that cycling on the roads is only for the truly brave and committed due to our roads barely catering for bikes.
We love bikes though so we’ll be embracing Bikewise again this year – and even organising an event (details to follow).
You will definately find us at the Mountain Bike Jams at Woodhill but we’ll be missing the Western Springs ride which is a really good event for most children.
Unfortunately when I don’t work from home I work across the harbour bridge – no cycle lane – so biking on Go By Bike Day is not an option.
Vorb Mobile launched
August 11th, 2005 by Sarah KingThis doesn’t really affect me with my ancient old 025 phone but congratulations to Tama for tackling the opportunities provided by Vodafone New Zealand’s 3G network.
Vorb is an excellent site for NZ Mountain Bikers and I probably visit more often than I ride (not that that says much 
)

Cycling in Britain
July 29th, 2005 by Sarah KingMy friend Deidre who’s just been staying has brought me up to date on all the happenings with my old cycling buddies from my time in the UK. #1 inspiration had to be Nicky Crowther who got me started with mountain bike racing. Read the rest of this entry »
Slicing The Valves Off My Tubes
April 20th, 2005 by Sarah KingI started a thread at Vorb when I had a problem with Slicing The Valves Off My Tubes on my mountain bike and little did I think it would turn into a 3 page discussion on tyres! Read the rest of this entry »
