Big training ride epic...

Okay I know this sounds like a big ride...thats right its going to be 60km of joy!
After the Galston Gorge, we hit tar on Quarry Rd and head for Castle Hill via Round Corner on the Old North Rd, we get off at Gilbert Rd and take some parks, and backstreets to get to Fred Caterson Reserve.
There are some hidden gems of single tracks here, plus the trails within the reserve proper and the BMX track, which is always good for burning excess energy.

Kincumber ride Sunday the 15th

When: 
Sunday, 15 July, 2007 - 10:13
Ride Database Entry: 
Kincumber Reserve
Meeting Point: 

Kincumber Reserve

Alright! Mind is made up!!

Kincumber it is!

The "new track advisors" are telling me it has both nice XC and DH parts. For this ride I would like to do more of the XC and actually do some 'riding' Eye-wink.
Meaning yes we will do the DH jumps (or at least two of us and it's not me Smiling ) and tricks but won't spend much time on playing and picture taking at each spot.
(Of course only to have more time for lunch after Smiling

I hope that suits everyone.
Can't wait!!!

Cheers

More info:

http://www.arocsport.com.au/MTBenduro/mtbenduro_...

A quick spiel:

For the Irate Intern 50km you will ride: 12km of single track; 24km of double track and narrow fire trail; 9km of wide fire trail; 5km bitumen (a little at the start and a little at the finish).

For the Angry Doctor 100km you will ride: 32km of single track; 45km of double track and narrow fire trail; 17km of wide fire trail; 6km of bitumen.

Expected fastest times:

50km - 2.15hours
100km - 4:45hours

These are guesses only!

GNR Fun (was Mini DW)

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Saturday, 28 July, 2007 - 09:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Great Northern Road
Meeting Point: 

Wisemans Ferry. Meet on this side of the East ferry. Park near little shop close to the ferry crossing.

-33.38142,150.989066 (Park by the Ferry)

Slight change of plan...

Not many people put up their hand for a Mini DW (read: "epic") and after a bit of chat on recent rides, and the fact distance events are over for a while we decided to tone this one down a bit. The new route becomes:

Meet Wisemans Ferry. Cross on East Ferry. Ride up Devines Hill (see below).

Decision 1: Ride down then up Shepherds Gully... votes on the day win Eye-wink Think ahead (see Decision 2) before voting Eye-wink

Ride the 'main event' - brilliant technical trail to junction with Western Commission Track.

Kincumba downhill and exploration goodness : )

Kincumber Reserve
Meeting Point: 

End of Bronzewing Dr, Kincumber.

It appears we have interest in checking out Kincumba Mountain. Sounds like a nice place to ride. I am always open for riding "new trails". And it looks like we could probably fit in a couple of laps too, if it only takes 20 minutes to ride back up to the top. I will be happy to lead from the back! Laughing out loud

The approximate area to ride, as shown on Google Maps, is:

Oxford Falls

When: 
Saturday, 26 May, 2007 - 08:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Oxford Falls (Morgan Road)
Meeting Point: 

Oxford Falls

Having ridden Oxford Falls on the weekend and enjoyed it, I am thinking another tour is in order. It has certainly been a while - a month or two? And it seems to be the trail in the best condition too.

I intend this ride to be for all comers. So this means you!

If we experience rain on the day, I am unlikely to go. Too much bike maintenance is required. But I will post a cancellation on the morning if this happens. Meet at the dirt carpark on Morgan Road.

I hope to see you all there. Call my mobi on 0438 885 410 with lateness.
