Mountain (off road)
Mid week ride @ Menai
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Last weeks ride was cancelled at last minute due to the heavy rain, so keen to get out this Wednesday.
Plan on riding for an hour and a half on the easier trails and I won’t be venturing near the free ride areas, DH, etc. However, it can still be tricky in sections though, but that adds to the fun.
Pace and where we ride will be determined by who turns up, but one things certain, reasonable night riding skills will be needed.
Red Hill - Casual loop
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
This will be the standard Red Hill loop that we normally do; starting from the usual meeting point, head over to the down hill track, back up the 4wd track to the top, rim ride, drop zone and whatever else we find whilst there.
This will be an easy paced, social type ride so don't worry about being slow or having to walk sections.
Womerah/Great Northern Road - Cancelled
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Meet at main Ferry on the Northern side as parking is easier. Cross the river at the West ferry on River Road. From there it is +- 5km of tar to the start of Womerah range. This is the last part of the Dirtworks race with quite a bit of climbing - from 40m elevation to 315m with a lot of up and down in between. Down Jack's track to St Albans and then along Settlers Road to Shepherd's Gully. Anybody that's had enough by this stage can cut the ride short at this point. Up Shepherd's to Great Northern, down Western Commission for a total of +- 68km.
Withdrawn: 19" Orbea Flow FS MTB Frameset
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
Size L (19")
Great frameset as your first full susser. I got it at a killer price new, but it is a tad too small for me. (i'm 192cm, same in kilo's)
Asking $400, and it's virtually brand new. Rear shock is the xfusion.
Includes intergrated headset, front Deraillleur, and seatpost.
El Rancho Relaxo Training ride at Stromlo
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
This ride is for the resurrected team El Rancho Relaxo to meet and greet the wonderful trails of Stromlo before the Scott 24 in October but a few more are welcome also . There are six newly marked trails here so not sure of the endurance required to do all six , and in fact if we are able to complete them all, but the plan would be to make the most of the day and have a good look around here without the crowds that will arrive in October .
Another option would be to break up the day and head out to Sparrow Hill after a good feed somewhere along the way

X-Fusion NSW XC #4
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.

After 5 weeks off the bike I'm itching to get back on the saddle! I can't be a*sed to go to Appin so will reaquaint myself with the local trail and see how much it has changed in the last few months.
Will aim to do 2, possibly 3 laps.
