Group Training
Bigger Hill Fest
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
After the success of the shortened hill fest yesterday, and with 2 weeks to the doctor, bring on the stupidity! 
This is billed as a training ride so there will be minimal stops. Please do not show up unless you can do this distance, or at least ride fast until one of the bail out points. If that's your plan be prepared to gracefully bow out somewhere along the route if you are struggling.
So, the route will be the following hilly goodness:
Yarramundi Trainning Ride for Angry Dr
Maybe put two groups together. I am keen to do some training, but I don't think that i am that fit. I have also got some slower guys coming possibly.
Works well though because it is a loop and you can do and go where ever you want and at the speed you want.
I want the morning to be rather relaxed and all who are keen are welcome to come along and have some fun.
Cascades night ride
Meeting at the power stationy thing, Ralston Ave
Yes I know it's late notice, but if anyone fancies a quick ride tonight I'll be there. Not planning on going mental, but will try to keep a constant ride. Cascades, up the steep Quarry climb, past the pump station and back down the water bars.
Cascades Training Ride :P
Meet at the end of Wyatt Ave in Belrose.
Riding the 4 gates 3 times.
Down heath, up quarry, down, up to acron, down, up to davidson, down, up heath. Repeat 2 more times.
This will be a training ride with alot of hills.
So riding will be continuous with minimal breaks.
Bring lots of water and food. At over 50km and 1600m of elevation, it will be a tough ride.
There may be the option to pull out after 2 laps depending on legs. I for one know I may not make the distance....

Manly Dam endurance training ride (Dam IS open)
A solid paced training ride in preparation for the Stromlo 8hr next week.
I expect to be turning out 45-50 min laps for up to 5 hrs depending on the conditions.
It will be a consistent pace, no intentional stopping, apart from food/water top-ups every couple of laps.
I'm happy for anyone to join in/drop off for laps as suits, will be coming past the car park every 45-50 min or so (unless we have a mechanical or other unforeseen event). A good level of fitness and bike handling skill required.
Maintenance on Dam is finished (This morning), so the full loop is open.
Wiseman's Ferry ride - CANCELLED
Wisemans Ferry car park
One last hit-out before tapering off for the Angry Doctor..
This will be the 'tech softie' 100k version, up the Western Commission Track, follow the (surprisingly technical) GNR to Mogo Creek and back down the gravel to Wiseman's thru St Albans to test your mental powers of endurance. Starting a bit earlier this time and stopping as little as possible so there's a chance of grabbing "a cup o' tea an' a slice of cake Aunt Sally" at the Fickle Wombat in St Albans & get back to the car before dark..
Need some training?
Hey all,
Looking for some training for the Doctor? Looks like its time for an Oaks up and Back. This will be a medium paced to ride with no dithering around - however if the roid boys do decide to come then there might be two groups and they can just leave later!
Should be a good ride - I haven't done the oaks in ages!

Terry Hill - West Head There and Back Again
4 weeks till the Angry Doctor - will work our way out towards West Head and back via various trails.
Good pace - Coffee at the end. 
RIDE NOW ON SUNDAY !!!
Silly Fast TH Ride
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Apologies to the conflicting social ride, but 100Km races loom and no training is getting done (least not by me).
Update by popular request!
This ride will be fast and non-stop, from the Terrey Hills shops, Duck Hole, up West Head road climb, Centre, along McCarrs Creek Rd, etc. to Perimeter Trail then out to end of Long trail and back to shops.
Ourimbah XC
Planning on doing at least 4-5 laps of the xc course and may head up Demtel hill for a roll down the downhill (well what i can ride of it that is).
The pace won't be super fast I do want to at least do the course in 2 lap stints with few breaks.
An intermediate level of fitness and skill should get you through the course.
