Group Training
Ourimbah MTB
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Hi all,
a few friends and I will be riding Ourimbah for the first time over the Easter long weekend on Sunday and Monday as part of our training for the Convict 100 in a couple weeks so we'll be aiming to get as many km's in the legs as possible. We also want to have fun as we've heard there's some great riding at Ourimbah, in particular the downhill runs so anybody who's keen is more than welcome to join us. See you guys' on the trail.

Perimeter + Long + St Ives Singletrack Return
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
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!
MTBA Level 1 Coaching Course
The Kings School, Parramatta
MTBA are running the final Level 1 coaching course of the year in Sydney.
See http://www.mtba.asn.au/news/2074-mtba-level-1-co...
DATE: Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th November 2013.
TIME: 9am – 6pm (both days)
VENUE: The King's School, Parramatta
Terrey Hills Shifted to Manly Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Due to the fire hazard closure of national parks thus rude has been moved to Manly Dam
Duck Holes, Centre, Perimeter, St Ives Sniggle & return
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Haven't been out on the mtb for a few weeks. It's time to take it for a spin. 
Terrey Hills Training Ride
End of Nerang Avenue in Terry hills where the Perimeter starts. Corner of Nerang and Hillpine Pl.
A training ride to get the mileage up in preparation for Kowalski.
I'm planning on Perimeter then in to Long track then back to where we started, that is around 20ks. Then a second lap of the same thing to make it 40ks in total. Should take about 2hrs or something like that.
A bit of company would be brilliant to make it a tad more enjoyable and hopefully faster as well.
Dam training ride Thu 15 Aug 6pm anyone?
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Late notice I know, if anyone is keen for training ride this Thursday evening please let me know.
Planning 2 laps starting at 6pm.
Training for the Kowalski 90km next month so keen to get a regular Thursday evening ride going
Cheers,

Terrey Hills Base training ride
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Aiming to take in Duck Holes, Centre, Perimeter and Long and maybe a side order of Cowan.
Given that I can't see the mud bogs near the Nerang Rd entrance drying much since last weekend, we'll probably start Perimeter at the Jap school, so there will be a few more road kms than usual.
We'll regroup periodically but I'm looking to keep stops and chinwag sessions short... eg, no stop at end of Long.
Total distance will be 38-44km
Can be flexible on the earlier side for start time if needed.
Ando's Oaks
Glenbrook train station.
Although the keen can combine this with The Oaks in which case you'll want to meet down at Glenbrook.
Planning on riding Ando's Oaks tomorrow morning. Late notice I know but happy to have some company if anyone is keen.
Pace will be fairly quick - probably no stops except for a top up of water and a nibble if needed. In saying that, if others come along we'll pace the ride to suit.

Meet the Bash: Blue Mountains Early Sunday morning ride: Oaks up and back
Glenbrook station carpark.
Scheduling this for 7am, I'll be coming by train from Sydney and meet you on the car park. Trying to stay within 4 hours, this is not a very fast speed, but some moderate level of fitness will be required.
Should be a good opportunity to meet the Bash coming down 
!
Cheers,
Volker
