Lisdale XC

Submitted by Rob on Wed, 20/06/2007 - 15:35.
When:
Sat 23 Jun (09:00) - for approx. 4 hours

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Rain or Shine:
I'll be there, no matter what the weather.
Meeting Point:

From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.

Details:

In lieu of the postponed Mini DW another plan is here...

Lisdale State Forest. XC track, plus some exploration of the stuff south of the highway. Word is there's loads of sniggle in there. Looking at a map there's plenty of fire trail at least, so we can ride that for some Ks then cross to the XC circuit for some fun later.

Forecast at this point is cold (literally freezing early on), but sunny later. Max 12C, so bring your layers.

Who's in:
No confirmations as yet.

Little-DittyAn interesting thing happened at Lidsdale today:

Liam, Lee, Rob, Shane, Steve and Bruce turn up for the ride with everyone in good spirits, despite the 0 degree temps at 9:00 a.m. Lee was up and at 'em at 4:30 am to make the ride. Rob was similar?

Plenty of frost on the ground in Lithgow. Ice has formed over all of the puddles in the ground, making crunching noises as you ride over them. Serious mist condenses with each exhale. My knees have turned purple. The 5 other guys look like they are on a Himalayan expedition with all the layers of long clothes they are wearing. See photo:

Wimps?

Car Pool

Hi Folks...

Carpool for Sat morning as far as I can tell (from reading the other thread) is this:

Car 1: Shano will come to Rob's place, they leave 6:30 and drive to Quakers hill, to pick up Bruce around 7am. Steve has shown an interest in meeting there too. Given we're all on skinny XC bikes this is possible but it may be a bit tight inside the car. Shano and Bruce are confirmed, Steve, let us know if this plan is good for you.

Car 2: Gilbo and Liam are sharing a ride are they not?

Car 3: Andy and Tien are sharing a ride?

Car 4: Erm... guess that leaves Shaun on his own. Orrrr... is that OK?

Is that it? Cool Smiling

There's only one lurker.... ;o)

Mind if I join?

sounds like a good ride, and the sun should actuly be shining!

I will have to self drive as I'm staying overnight in the mountains, unless a lift one way helps anyone. Is Lisdale easy enough to find from the directions?

cheers, nate

And why not.

Hi Nate... well, you've read the MO. If you're up for some hard riding for a few hours, then sure thing!

I see your number on the profile, as are a few here, take it out and we'll see you there!

#$@%&!!!! Gotta bail guys...
