Red Hill Ride - w Vanessa -Sunday style
Park at the old entrance to Narrabeen Fitness Camp. Be ready to ride. Leave 17.00 Sharp.
If coming from Cromer Connection via garden of Gullies meet at The Sand Pit ( 33°43'32.54"S,151°15'31.62"E) around 17.15-17.30.
THIS RIDE WILL BE CANCELLED IF ITS ABOVE 30' AS PREDICTED! RED HILL GETS VERY HOT! SORRY
Need to be reasonably fit and have at least 1.5 litres of water. There there is no warm up its straight up hill from the start. The first 35 minutes is all climbing. But it is varied and interesting and goes fast. (I've been riding Red Hill for 4 years and know it extremely well.)
I'll be kind to those less fit and try and make it fun. The whole circuit usually takes me an hour but we'll do a slower version for the less fit/tech savvy.
Once on top there are fun gently undulating trials to be had all quite technical but not too difficult (but very scenic). We will decend via the The Drop Zone back past the Dam down to the Fitness Camp. No I have never had any trouble riding through here. In fact I wave every time I see the resident caretakers and they wave back with a smile.
Would like to keep the group small though so not to draw too much attention. Otherwise meet at The Sand Pit if you have a problem with it.
My mobile is 0414 430 220.
P.S This loop is only one of quite a few I know (can't cover it all in a day) there are just so many trials.
Were you there and have a story to tell?

I'm a regular to most places on the NBs but never been up to Red Hill so keen to find out what the trails are like.
Can you provide a link to a google map that pin points the exact meeting place? Not quite sure where you mean.
Hi James
I checked my ride blog and the google map link does work there. It at the bottom of the Meeting Point description bit.
Just in case it doesn't work for you here's the co-ordinates 33°43'3.89"S 151°16'0.77"E (Old Narrabeen Fitness Camp entrance Wakehurst Parkway)
Any problems please call me 0414 430 220
Got it - thanks.
Still fighting a cold which brought my early morning trip to the dam this morning to a premature end (mind says yes, legs say no). So hopefully will be fit by Sunday.
ouch-ish
Looking at the forecast I would say this will be cancelled
this morning until about 10:30 and it wasn't too bad - nice breezes up the top!
good luck!
I'm out as way too hot.
Sorry guys way too hot! May organise another ride next Sunday arvo.
Will be riding up there Tuesday and Thursday mornings also if ur interested.
