five mile creek
Hello, I just found you all on the net and joined. I am really a horse rider who tries on my bike. I was wondering if anyone had done the Five Mile Creek ride and if it goes off of Hilversum Cres and if so... is it hard and can you go around in a loop?
Thank you!
Christine
ps we think the maps are fantastic - is there one coming for Red Hill?
Early Ride Sunday 9th
Anyone interested in an early, shorter ride Sunday morning, I will be at Morgan Rd 6.30 for a 6.45 start. Probably do XC with side trips and then Moon Rock.
Oaks plus side trips
With only 4 weekends 'til the Dirtworks it's time to get into gear for some long rides. Don't know about anything else, but would like to do at least one trip to The Oaks and add in a couple of side trips.
Was reading Fat Hippy's stuff last night (it's on the links page) and St Helena and Nepean Lookout sound the pick. Although St Helena raises the question of going out that way or doing it as an out and back.
Anyhow - please comment if you're interested, this will be a 50K+ and would ideally want to try it on April (pick one) 8/9/29/30.
Saturday 1 April
I was going to suggest Cascades on Saturday.
Bernd & Stuart will be there _early_ on Sunday (when I won't be riding) so could this still a goer? Failing that perhaps Morgan Road minus any climbs that will make my chain slip (still waiting for those parts... Grrrrrr!).
Sunday Ride
Sunday, 2-4-06 @ Cascades/St. Ives 7am for 7-15 Start
with Stuart and possible 2 other.
Anyone....
Bernd
Where's the best newbie ride? Or if you are a newbie - which trail do you like the sound of most?
Beginner ride - Interested?
I'd like to organise a beginner / lurker ride - probably manly dam or Terry hills.
This would be a gentle, easy pace, with regular stops for everybody to catch-up and bail out options. Probably not suitable for the mega-fit or regular riders, the point of this ride is take it easy (manly dam in 1.5-2hours)
This stems from me thinking I would like to see some of the folks on this forum!
What do you think? Maybe organise at a more convenient time eg. 10:30 sunday morning this week or next?
Respond to this message in the forum with your preference for time / date / place - once I get enough interest I'll set it up.
Fence Edge
This is at the end of the Waratah Park's electric fence right by (well, 20m from) Namba Road.
At this junction there appears to be a track leading down away from the road and fence but it's just a dead end.
Left Electric Fence
The Waratah Park (Home of Skippy) has been conveniently built right across where Booralie Trail is marked on the map and surrounded by an electric fence.
When heading from the North there's a fork in that trail and this point is on the left branch. There's an old gate as you can see (not part of the electric fence) which you can bypass to the left just before. Then head left along the fence to the park entrance on Namba Road.
