Hello from Freshwater

By GazC - Posted on 14 March 2012

Hi everyone!
I'm Gaz from the UK. Been living in Sydney just over a year now. Did the Manly Dam track a few weeks ago and loved it. One of the best tracks I have ever done I loved all the different variations on it.

If anyone local fancies a ride i'd be up for it as I don't know that many people over here and I haven't a clue where any other decent tracks are.

Cheers
Catch ya later

Manly Dam is ok but Ourimbah and Awaba are so so much better.

I am always keen for a ride, midweek or weekends are no problems

G'day Gaz,

Welcome to NobMob. I live in Dee Why and I'm always keen for a ride weather permitting Eye-wink Manly Dam is good and I also head to Awaba and Ourimbah too. Would be happy to show you around. Just let me know whenever you want to go for a ride Eye-wink

I'm local to Manly Dam and like to head up the coast from time to time as well. Once I'm done with this Mont 24 gig I'll be back to a more social frame of mind and a few social rides will be on the cards.

Awaba and Ourimbah should be on your must-do list. Awaba has some good climbs and some really fun flowy descents, including a few grin-inducing half-pipe sections. It has been awhile since I've seen Ourimbah, but it was the slightly more technical of the two, with rougher sections and some really tight handlebar-width-only corners. Both a really geat places to get lost in. Smiling

And then there's ... (drum roll) ... Kiwarrak, which is a weekend away.

Hi Gaz,

I'm also from UK, living in Dee Why. New to NOBMOB but been riding at the Dam when it's dry for a couple of years and starting to explore the Newcastle area and Red Hill.

Super keen for a ride any Monday or Friday from 4 or at the weekends.

See you out there soon!
Pete
