Ride Database Entry:
Winmalee Meeting Point:
End of White Cross Rd, Winmalee, NSW. There's a small parking area here but it's a standard suburban street so overflow isn't a problem.
-33.664410, 150.610910
Details:
Ian and I are heading around the Winmalee loop on Sat. morning. Bees nest and Grose point are on the agenda. Will adjust speed of ride to whoever shows up. I'm still recovering from a broken wrist so I can't push too hard.
32 degrees for Saturday, so an early morning ride is preferable.
Who's in?
Ian_A, stephen, Dutchy74, csbb, addyboddo

Enjoy we are heading up Woodford and back. Need to give the beast a good lashing down the fire trail.
That'd be a damn fast ride down the hill mate. Look forward to seeing the times on Strava (no pressure of course).
Dutchy returns to the scene of the crime.....
Hey guys, I've been riding solo for a while but i'm up for a ride on Saturday. Could i ask for more details on this ride like how much is big climbs/route length etc?
cheers
Cameron
Dutchy, will this be up Bees Nest or Along Springwood Ridge and down Bees Nest? I have a nasty feeling it will be a day of climbing!
Definitely up Bee's JP...... You've got gears now don't you?
That and back up from Bluegum to Shaw's will be the only 2 climbs.
This is a possible route I do often - we should include the nursery singletrack out and back though.

I'm with Ian on the route to take. There are only two major climbs and I'm not intending on repeating them too often. I'm not uber fit at the moment.
Cameron: BLKFOZ has posted the strava track to have a look at. The two big hills are Bees nest and Rob's Trick (as per Strava). I will most probably have to walk up the last quarter of bees nest as I have yet to successfully climb it, so there's no shame in hopping off. Ian will smash us all but he may be nice on Saturday and join us in walking...
I'll be taking it nice and easy on all of the descents as I don't want a repeat of 8th June 2013! Shaw's ridge and I are not yet on speaking terms.
There'll be no going for medals on Sat, just a cruisy one.
I'll definitely try to ride all of Bee's but at a sedate/social pace.
I'm heading up the Oaks on Saturday. Might see you out there Char.
Chuck what time are you heading off? We will probably hit Woodford about 8.30am.
Not 100% sure Char, around 7:30am I guess.
OK we will mow you down on the descent!
Mite be around so mite run into you guys.
I'll get there before 9 on Saturday at the meeting point. See you guys there
See you there Cameron.
Craig is coming out too, Paul.
Another bloke Pete might turn up too.
No worries Cameron, see you there. More the merrier Ian. Will be good to catch up with Craig again.
Tuesday morning the Boss asked me to work Saturday. I checked the calander first and nothing. Tuesday night this ride pops up. I'm spewing.
Sorry Tim. I thought Tuesday (night) would have been far enough out from the ride. Obviously not. Didn't really organise it with Ian until then anyway.
I live just near the end of White Cross, so if I can tag along for a while that would be great. Relative newcomer, so if I'm WAY too slow feel free to shoot off ahead
No worries Adam. I don't think this will turn out to be a very fast ride. We might go at our own pace up the steep hills (bees nest) but then regroup at the top / bottom, whichever way we go. I'm not in the mood to race anyone after a bottle of wine tonight anyway.
Sorry about my performance today guys, I think i just didn't have enough fluid in my system and probbably not enough breakfast. After i recovered i went down the way we came and did a reverse circuit turning into the Blue gum swamp track and followed that up and around past the hill i stopped at.
Thanks for the ride guys
Cameron
No worries Cameron, it happens (happened to me just the other day!) That's great you got a full reverse circuit. Yeah it's really hard to tell about the fluid intake. When it happened to me I think I had too much!
Hope to see you again down here sometime, and thanks for coming along! And thanks to all the other guys for pushing me along and waiting at the top of the climbs. Loved the ride!
Yeah thanks guys, good ride.
Hope you're feeling better Cameron.
