Well after the success of the last, and first, group night ride I 've set my sights on something a little more adventurous.

I know this is a few weeks off yet but thought some of you with a social life might need some time to clear the calendar. The next full moon just happens to fall on a Saturday night, 7th of October to be precise. Thought this might be a really good opportunity to ride Woodford to Glenbrook under the light of that not so biggish white thing in the night sky.

From memory this is normally about a 2hr ride, so I would expect about three at night( happy to stand corrected if anyone has a better idea) Given that alot of this trail is considerably more open than TH I would suspect it is another good opportunity to test Christines theory about ridding with no lights (no I won't be attempting this). Assuming this to be the case and given that a couple of us rode last week with little better than "commuter lights" I don't think you would need anything overly fancy to join us if you are game. As for last time though this should be a decision only you can make. I guess I'm trying to say if you want to come but don't have a professional set of lights, still feel free to join us.

Well, I really can't face an early morning this Saturday (read: "I really need to sleep in once every few months ;)")... anyone feel like a later thing, either mid morning (10-ish?) or early arvo (1-ish?)?

Somewhere cruisy, perhaps Cascades? Although open to suggestions. Also, if no-one replies and the day is nice it's quiet likely that a trip up to West Head is on the cards.

Of course, if it starts to rain again this will be off

Cheers!

Hi guys- great site, just what I was looking for.

I am new to Sydney, and have just returned to mountain biking after a 15 year hiatus. I don't know anyone who rides, so would love to tag along with someone if they are keen for company. Keep in mind that I am an absolute beginner, and if I'm being honest with myself, pretty unfit. I work odd hours, so weekdays are usually better than weekends, but beggars can't be choosers. If interested, please drop me a line- phone or email.

In the meantime I will keep a lookout for beginner rides.

Cheers, Liam.

So I just signed myself up and wanted to say that this sites a great resource, especially for those of us becoming more adventurous and riding farther afield (ie. riding addicts)
I have been riding fairly regularly of late and am keen for more as the weather is now perfect!
Will be watching the rides the and information posted as I am always keen to get amongst it!
My recent rides include the Brindabella Challenge 2005 in Canberra ....the Oaks x2 this year, Ourimbah 1 lap and Arcadia 2 1/2 laps and the "Gorge" (part of a commute from CastleHill to Hornsby)

Having bought a new bike only 4 months ago I am loving mountain biking more than ever!

Can't do much tomorrow (erm... Sunday), but fancy a blast round the dam, anyone game?

8:30am. Meet corner of King/Arana. Reply if you're keen and I'll show for sure (otherwise it's a bit tentative at this stage).

Cheers,

Rob

Terry Hills night ride under a full moon.

Meet 7pm, 7th September

No shaving required.

Christine also reckons no lights required although Pikey, the only one game enough to test that theory last month, believes lights would be a good idea, I would tend to agree. (Greg you might won't to swap to a 30 or 40 watt fitting to give you a long enough burn time, otherwise the seeds won't grow)

Lets hope the werewolfs don't get scared off by a couple of clouds like they did last month.

Heres to a howling good time

I think Pratiwi & I will be doing some more beginner type stuff this Saturday (Sep 2nd). Given the usual outing of this type is to Terrey Hills, thought a change was in order. To that end...

Where: Oxford Falls (meet second sharp bend in Morgan Road, top of the hill where there's parking)
When: Saturday 2nd September, 9am
What: Five Mile Creek + Slippery Dip + Morgan Road fire trails

The three trails mentioned are all very easy going (ie. not technical) but do have some climbs, all are welcome to join on what will be a slow paced ride.

See you there?

Sun 27 Aug, 830am. Meet at corner of Morgan Rd. Downhill, Nursery Rhymes, Power lines, Deep Creek and back. No go if raining.

Hi,
Christine has posted a ride in the One-off Rides section for tomorrow at Manly Dam... just thought I would put it in here as well in case anyone missed it.

There was quiet some discussion going on about Sparrow Hill here... that thread has been moved below, which started by Paul:

Bernd mentioned the Sparrow Hill near Canberra was also a great place to ride – anyone up for a day trip sometime in the future? From the sound of it, Sparrow is lots of singletrack like Ourimbah, but amongst the pine cones. Works for me.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi, Anyone that can give me some help please getting my Garmin Foretrex210 to talk to the PC to set up some rides on this site. Don't know if its the serial connection or the unit that's not working.
Cheers

Ok, anyone feel like a ride local this weekend?
Speak up if you have any thoughts on Saturday morning or Sunday morning and we can arrange from there?

Red Hill last weekend was very wet in places with some deep deep puddles. Overall it was a great ride on some new tracks I havent experienced before.
