Pacific Highway and Fernleigh Loop, Adamstown Heights

I am heading up the coast for a few days and plan on riding Glenrock State Conservation Area. I have never ridden here before so I am not sure how long is enough (I will have all day to ride Smiling ) so 4 hours seems a good start.

Cascades & Ryland fun

When: 
Wednesday, 2 December, 2009 - 08:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Cascades
Meeting Point: 

End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.

-33.724071, 151.210407 (Wyatt Ave, Belrose)

Proposed route will be: Wyatt Ave -> short XC -> Technical descent -> Up Quarry -> Along Mona Vale Rd -> Ryland -> Wildflower -> Kitchener St -> Down Cascades -> Bear Creek -> Heath->Wyatt Ave.

That descent is really rather tricky but you could always walk the bits you don't feel confident about.

This ride will be at a relaxed social pace, with stops for re-doing sections, waiting for beginning riders to catch up, and so on.

I haven't done Centre Track myself yet, so we'll be exploring together.

Weather plan:
* It is forecast to be quite warm, so bring at least a couple of litres of water and a bottle of hydration drink.
* If the temperature is still over 30C at 15:00 the ride will be cancelled
* See line for Terrey Hills on this page: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN60900.shtml for weather information

As discussed, this is my proper first ride back after an injury, and I'm under strict instructions from He Who Must Be Obeyed that I'm not to fall off! The missus would kill me if I did anyway, but the surgeon is bigger. Not sure who I fear more. Sticking out tongue

Scott 24 night lap - warm up at the RNP

When: 
Wednesday, 7 October, 2009 - 19:45
Ride Database Entry: 
Royal National Park
Meeting Point: 

Usually Loftus Oval, Sutherland, just off the Princes Highway.

-34.051056, 151.050992 (Loftus Oval car park)

Thought a couple of hours of technical night riding would be good practice, for hanging on the bike coming down Stromlo Mountain in the dark....... God, I'm looking forward to the Scott.

Change of plan due to the weather. Changed this ride to the more "bike friendly when wet"Royal National Park. You'll need good lights and reasonable night riding skills for this one.

See you there.

Ourimbah State Forest Romp - Cancelled

When: 
Saturday, 3 October, 2009 - 09:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Ourimbah State Forest
Meeting Point: 

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.

Red Hill Road, NSW @-33.275884,151.377053

I'll be showing a mate around for his first ride at Ourimbah thought we'd make a day of it.

Social pace to start with some faster laps thown in, not looking at riding downhill on the day.

Just looking to get some good riding in beofre the 24hr and the Fat Tyre.

Red Hill - Super happy fun day

When: 
Sunday, 24 May, 2009 - 09:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Red Hill
Meeting Point: 

Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.

-33.744534, 151.255780 (Red Hill Carpark)

I'll be taking some friends up to Red Hill on Sunday morning and planning to ride a big loop that covers pretty much everything up there. 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 a fairly easy paced ride, but probably not suitable for those not comfortable with the rough stuff. Leave the lycra at home and bring the big bike.
