Group Training
Pre-social ride for Wednesday Night Double Helpings.
Terrey Hills Tavern - usual spot (or in the far right hand corner of the main car park if you're not usual).
Perimeter & Long tracks. "Brisk" pace (that means medium speed-22km in 1 & 1/4 hrs, no stops except for mechanicals, injuries and, OK, widdles. But you should have gone before you left the house!)
Back to the tavern carpark to link up with the social set and join their ride.
Pub afterwards for a cleansing apple juice and bag of pork scratchings.
Fling training ride at Wisemans Ferry
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
A long ride in preparation for the Southern Highland Fling leaving 2 weeks to recover before the Scott 24 hour. I had in mind a 70 to 80k ride starting at wisemans ferry then up the sandy hill and continuing 35k along Gt Northern Road. Then turn back and go down Shepherds Gully and finish ourselves of on the 8k road back to the ferry.
This is a training ride so minimal stops but the pace will not be race pace. A moderate pace to average about 15kms / hour is ideal.
Bring heaps of food and water and a spare tube and everything else required for big a day out.
Sunday Arvo Cascades 4 gates
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.

Training ride, medium pace
Duck Holes, Centre, Perimeter and Long.
Note: Starting at shops not the tavern.
Ourimbah State Forest - Sun 31st Aug
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
One week before the Angry Doctor, so aiming to have a semi-hard (way-hey!) ride, perhaps 4 laps of the main XC loop to get some sniggle skills practice and then perhaps an explore or some unknown (to me) trails, and/or some downhill fun.
The weather looks a little undecided coming up the weekend at the moment but the track does deal with the wet quite well (the grave yard is still off limits I believe making the lap less than 10km's). That said we will need to get a better idea before heading out.
Hemi-roid ride. Pre-social ride lap of Long & Perimeter tracks..
Terry Hills Tavern, eastern carpark, Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084
If anyone wants to do a bit more than the social ride but doesn't want to join the 'Roids on their 'antisocial' ride (or can't because they're at the group size limit), I'm doing a non stop medium paced lap of Long/Perimeter tracks before joining up with the social ride, wherever I bump into them on the way back, for a second (more socially paced) lap.
Anti-social Night Ride
Terrey Hills Tavern
To compliment the social ride here's the more serious one.
You know the drill, we will start from the Tavern and ride Duck Hole + Centre + Perimeter + Long and back to Tavern.
This is a training ride and you should expect to only unclip once the whole ride - at the North end of Centre Track.
We may or may not slow down if/when the social group is met - either way, at least we can get social with them afterwards at the Tavern. 
Apping Sunday Morning Training Ride?
Corner Burke & Market St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head. If lost ask local for the fire station and Scout Hall.
Proposing 3 laps of approx 10km each. For some 2 might be enough. Training ride at medium pace. Quick stops at end of each lap to refuel. Fairly technical in places so some experience is required. Awesome track with "no boring bits".
Late notice leave pass so sorry for late posting.
String
Terry Hills - West Head: There and Back again II
2nd Last weekend before the Angry Doctor, bail-out points along the way if required.
You know you need to. 
Saturday Morning Training
Glenbrook Station Carpark
This is a hard and fast training ride starting at 6.00am sharp for a quick up and down the Oaks before the day starts. There will be no stopping or waiting at all apart from toilet breaks if needed. The pace will be moderate to fast with an estimated overall time from the carpark at Glenbrook to the top gate at Woodford and back to the carpark of 3 hours.
The route will be the standard Oaks up and back with the fun sniggle at the end there are no detours or side trips of the main trail planned for this ride.
