If you want to do something a bit out of the ordinary for a Thursday at 6:15am - come down to the doors of MC Cyclery and hop on the ride. We'll be back before 8 for coffees and work - plus you can tell your friends you spent the morning riding with pro team riders. Spread the word and see you there!
Frenchs Forest to Akuna Bay and Return Easy Endurance
Corner of Rodborough Road and Warringah Roads Frenchs Forest
Will be going via Terrey Hills Rural Fire Service. ETA 09:40.
Sydney Olympic Park Training ride
Meadowbank Ferry wharf
This is an MTB training ride designed to get the legs spinning after a week out of action with rain. I plan to cover around 40K at an average pace of 20+ Km/h, so reasonable pace. Unfortunately all will be on roads or cycle paths in and surrounding Sydney Olympic Park, but it sure beats a spin class if the weather breaks.
Frenchs Forest East to Sydney Olympic Park and Return Easy Endurance
Corner of Rodborough and Warringah Roads, Frenchs Forest
With the crap weather forecast through into the weekend, I'm going to take my normal commute route that I haven't done for awhile and turn it into an out-and-back loop to Sydney Olympic Park. Total distance will be 55 km or so,plus wharever the Olympic 4X circuit is, conditions permitting (so fit your fat tyres!).
Apart from some stints on Warringah Road, Babbage/Boundary and the very short Victoria Road section, this is on roads with manageable traffic or suburban streets, and forms my midweek commute when working at SOP.

Illawong Bay car park

NOW SOLD
Hi all.
This is a set of Powertap Wheels. The hubs (powertap rear, and matching front) are built onto 32 hole Mavic Open Pro rims.
The wheels are in excellent condition, and perfectly true, with very light use.
Further to this, included is the rest of the kit - CycleOps head unit, USB docking station, and HRM chest strap.
We'll also throw in the tyres (Vredestein Type 3), but not the cassette pictured.
The hub was serviced by Monza (Australian Powertap service center) only 3weeks ago (about 1000km) and has fresh batterys.
Withdrawn: Kona Road Bike
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
I am looking to sell my roadie as I've upgraded.
It's a 2009 Kona Zing (Size 56):
* Ultegra/105 drivetrain
* Mavic Aksium Race Wheels
* Aluminium frame, carbon fork
Full spec: http://www.konaworld.com/09/09_zing_en.cfm
Has been very well looked after and is in great nick but for cosmetic paint chips on the drive side chain stay and a rub on one of the cranks.
A great way to expand your riding giving you options when the trails are wet and super for training and fast commuting.
Looking for about $1000.
Road Ride - Post Jetlag Blow Out - AK and WH
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
This wont be a fast ride, I fly in from the UK in the morning and am hoping to get out on the bike a little bit in the afternoon to try and blow out some of the jetlag cobwebs.
If I am to knackered I wont get out, but hopefully I should be ok, 2 laps is gonna be the maximum and more than likely just one lap!
Cancelled: I am a bit knackered so going to relax.
