I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to ride MD/BB at night
Don't know how you do it? TH is just fine for me!
Enjoy
I have just got a set of these from torpedo and am keen to test them out. They reckon a burn time of 1.3 full or 2.5 half beam so might be up for a ride, just to work it all out, at least for the MD loop.
if I can do it you can... they are the best fun rides, really really fun...
i will be there armed with my beeeeeer
MEE
If Christine can do it with a glass of chardy under her belt
any regular MTBer can do it.
A flask with a hose attached in the backpack?
....the flask and hose idea from her otherwise she would never leave the carpark
You guys have obviously not watched what she puts in her 3 litre camelback - a hip flask and hose is for amateurs.
She does have problems sucking the olives through the bite value though?
why do leave the door so wide open for me? Look away, look away.....I must be strong
On a more serious note I think I will be joining you alcoholics, sorry, athletes on this ride
The planets are aligned so I can make this ride - now I need the rain to stop.
Before you start breaking out into various renditions of "Love is all around", it has been raining most of today (not sure how much rain the Dam got yesterday) so you might want a plan B...
Use it, don't use it...
There is a shower or two forecast for tomorrow then a clear day on Wed, but it not looking sunny enough to dry it all out in time at the moment.
Plan B could be a good idea just in case, what about Deep Creek? Would be amazing at night I reckon. Or is that just insane?
Plus... Deep Creek is illegal, etc, etc.
Didn't know that
This must be part of the recent NPWS crackdown right? I real shame, I've only done it once and put it right up at the top of my fave local tracks.

Yes we need a plan B if Tuesday gets rain.
a) Ride / Beer in Bottle = Manly Dam good to ride
b) Ride / Beer on tap = We do Terry Hills or other off shoots leaving from Terry Hills Tavern
c) Beer / Beer = Pissing down everywhere.
d) Beer / Ride = See post about taping wife on shoulder
Pikey
I'm keen to get in a ride this week and it looks like Tuesday and Wednesday are going to have the best weather we get all week, even the weekend is looking suspect.
I'm happy with any of the above options, but I prefer 'a' and 'b' - (Pikey, that was a very generous offer (option 'd'), but it's a school night).
Happy to do A if the track is dry, otherwise B sounds good as a safe bet.
Paul, you need to dust the webs off your yeti!
to let everyone come over and tap her on the shoulder if its too wet to ride?
True, the Yeti hasn't had much action lately and I will have to take it for a spin before the Dirtworks to get used to the gears and a dually again - I'm loving the simplicity of the SS.
Morgan.
If your ride starts at 7:15 pm from the Terry Hills Shops then that gives you 11 mins to join our start at the Tery Hills Tavern
wonder why i ride with you guys at all - you are most rude - and anyway, the majority of my drinking is on a social friday or saturday night when i am led astray with my other friends...
humph
however! in reality my bike is in the shop - I KNOW don't all faint from shock - i suffered mild anxiety leaving her there but doubt she will be back with me for Wednesday nights ride...
i could meet you at the pub - no! no! no! this is an alcohol free week...
maybe...
"other friends..." ? please explain!!
Bernd
we are a relentless group
"Rent a Crowd"
Sorry guys, can't shake this head cold so am also pulling the pin on this one
but it seems TH has stayed quite dry?

Whats the go mate? Coming to the tail end of the day now....
Loz
Has anyone been to the Dam recently? I'm still keen on a loop of that, as long as it's not raining and it's not water logged.
What is the official word now? Terry Hills?
T Hills to be exact!
Even though its been dry today there were a few sprinkles last night and early this morning... I'm sure the Dam will still be wet in places and not worth the damage to the track...
dont feel like sloshing my bike through mud today....
I might join Morgan on his ride?
Agree about the track damage limitation.
I'm not a big drinker in the week so I'll probably be up for the T Hills Blat with Morgan as well. Wow wouldn't Smiths be fun in the dark?
As much as I was looking forward to Bantry Bay at night, I agree with Shaun that TH is the most responsible option.
Pikey just wondering if option 'd' still on the table?
I dont think I can keep up with Morgan @ 20kph avg... so Pikey.. organise a second more cruisy TH ride? Maybe duck centre both ways? They are the driest tracks.....
So what's the official word the pikey?
Meeting place and time?
Terry Hills Tavern carpark at 7:15
I realise all the rides have been canceled now, but I still want to ride....
I'm thinking of doing duck and centre both ways....
Call me if you want to join, my number is in my profile.
Cheers,
Loz

Call me if yo uwant to ride.. TH TAV carpark at 19:15
Cheers,
Loz
Terry Hills Tavern Car Park then we can discuss the route.
Pikey
so I wont be there but it's been reasonably dry the past few days in TH so the tracks should be fairly dry.
Loz
wasn't able to pick my bike up before 6 so will miss this week.
still waiting for my car to arrive, so might not be able to make it.....
I'll call Loz if I am on the way.
Sorry guys I thought Pikey canned the ride, so Im sitting at home having a beer.
Such is life
My bros bucks was last weekend so I'm out of "Get out of home" credits.
Ended up just being Pikey and I....
I also thought Greg canned it.. but "Cancelled" only applied to the Manly Dam side of things....
Was a good ride and we finished off duck and centre quick enough to make it back in time for the bistro!
Good eats
Cheers,
Loz
Thanks Lozza for the ride
now time for a smoke
Greg
PS: yes I probably could have worded the ride change a little differant. I'm a tradesman not a bloody word smith
