should be there too, binning the ride at the bmx track due to crap weather( wish i knew how to post that its cancelled but im stupid on them there computer thingy's!) so anyone who's reading this, BMX TRACK JUMP DAY IS CANCELLED DUE TO BAD FORCAST! anyone staying on in rainy sydney is more than welcome to continue the ride but with respect to manly/warringah bmx club i think it'll be far too sticky up there and it'll ruin the track also. see you boys at (hopefully) dry mount stromlo. all the best, gazza

Looks like the dry option! At this stage I'll just be attending Friday's ride, planing on returning home Friday night. If anyone else is comming back Friday I am happy to carpool. I'll be comming from Harbord.

Funny he PM'ed me the other week about I ride I had suggested ages ago and I mentioned that I had just snapped my achilles.

Never met him but sounds like a good bloke, best of luck to him, injuries suck! I am still a couple months away from off road riding myself.

What a great place to ride worth the trip down even if only for the day. Thanks for putting this ride up on the site I wouldnt have gone down without a prod. Cant wait to spend 24hrs there.
