Hello all budding new riders.
Some newer participants to the sport have recently asked for some practice in getting out there and riding some of our local trails. So if you are new to mtb riding and would like to come along, please update your 'star' to show your participation.
Trail selection was something fairly easy but not boring. I figure Duckholes/Centre a good ride and far more interesting than doing the Long Trail.

Well I've given up setting a rider numbers limit on these as they seem kinda popular!
Perimeter NPWS trailworks are still in progress but we can work around that.
Note that I've marked this as a training ride. We have the option of breaking up into 2 groups if it helps take the pressure off the less fit and the more fit want to keep going.
I'd ask that people please be considerate and inspect all their kit to ensure it is in proper working order so that we minimise difficulties due to mechanicals.
(I hope I haven't jinxed myself now
)
See you Sunday!

I'm looking to do 2 or three laps. We'll likely dive off for one of those and cross the Parkway to do the new singletrack climb that joins the northern end of Bantry Bay with the overbridge and Aquatic Centre descent to the pipeline easement.

The weather forecast looks a lot better for Sunday, mid-20s. Here's a chance to check out what NPWS has fixed on the trail with Perimeter trail scheduled to be opened on Friday.
Update: since NPWS contractors haven't finished the works on Perimeter we're reverting to Duck Holes and Centre.
If there is appetite for some climbing we'll throw in Chiltern in the middle for some variety. I haven't ridden on this track previously so we can get lost together

So, unfortunately I was in Canada when the new DH trail opened, so I'm finally getting a chance to head up there!
I'll be bringing one mate along, so if more than 3 others want to rock up we'll need another shuttle vehicle (as I can do 5).
C'mon, who wants to show me down the new trail! Kingy, I'm looking at you!

Following a GPX link I downloaded into the Garmin for first lap. After that will probably do more laps or just explore for a couple more hours.

I'm participating in the Great Cycle Challenge throughout October, I have pledged to ride 1000km for the month in support of the fight against children's cancer. To kick things off I'm going to try and ride 100km around the Ourimbah XC circuit and nearby fire trails.
I plan to start out with five laps of the XC course then head out to Kulnura and back then finish off with another lap or two of the XC course.
Feel free to join me for a lap or three if you have the time, pace will be very easy and I don't expect to start heading out to Kulnura until around 10:00am.
