Manly, in a blur
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Greetings!
I have limited time available to ride this weekend, so am wanting to fit in a couple of laps on Saturday morning. I intend to do the laps moderately fast, with minimal stops for chatting or Hollywood moments.
If you want to fit in a faster ride, join me for some fast paced action. I will be riding my Norco, so the pace is far from impossible.
I will be in the blue Mazda.
Hopefully see you then. 
Lane Cove Friday Arvo Newbie Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meet "At the Seat" South End Kissing Point Road. The seat is the picnic seat down in the valley next to the concrete cycleway (near the water crossing). If you can come at a later time then please come along. We often come past the seat so you can join in when we see you.
Legal track only, avoiding big hills. XC style riding. Friends and I ride here quite a bit, come along and see our preferred route. We take it nice and easy early on. Being mature aged, we like to warm up a bit. Lane Cove holds water after rain, if it has rained during the day it is off. We ride instead on trails where the water bars/drainage are suitably maintained.
Some people park here (Turramurra Side): http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Australi...
Oxford Falls - Night Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Morgan Road, Belrose. At the second 90 degree right hand bend in the road. There's an area just before you can park and a firetrail heading off to the left.
Something different for a night ride - Oxford Falls (we won't be disobeying any signs we see)
Although I have riden Oxford Falls since 1995, I haven't been there since some of the trails have been made off-limits for riding and I'm not too sure what is legal or not. Given this our route will be decided on the night - maybe the fire trail to Narrabeen, maybe Power Lines and Nursey Rythyms, maybe the downhill.
This will be a XC ride and not a huckfest but it is always advisable to wear pads at Oxford Falls, so bring them if you have them.
Damn quick laps

While it is listed as a social ride it will be 30k's plus, so a reasonable level of fitness is required.

Back at shops after a 17km lap we'll decide whether to add on another lap of Perimeter or add Duck hole & centre tracks. Would like a steady pace -no waiting - should get around in just over an hour.

Last week we took them on the Duck Hole and Centre track and they did pretty well, just slow on the uphill. BUT they're keen & trying to get fitter.

It's been more than a year, and I get asked a lot about setting up another "Massive Northern Beaches Ride". So here it is, back again, bigger and brighter for 2008. An EPIC if there ever was one. And it even comes in 1 week ahead of the Fling, so represents a great opportunity to put in about 60km on your local trails beforehand.
