You are hereCalendar / Wiseman's Ferry ride.
Wiseman's Ferry ride.
This time I'll be doing the Western Commission Track, then going up the Great North Road to Mogo Creek Road. Will turn around and come back down the GNR to finish via the 'fun technical stuff' and Shepherd's Gully.
Should work out about 85k's, 90% off road.
NEW: Because we won't be going thru St Albans there is no water once we get going (there was some water at the Buddhist place (about 15k's in) last time, but there are no guarantees). I'm taking 4 litres and enough food for an 85km hitout. And don't forget your toolkit. Oh, and from the last experience bring something warm because it will be chuffing cold when we start out. Please don't skimp by bringing that 1 litre camelbak / envelope - you won't enjoy the ride!
I will bring a water filter for emergencies, but whoever needs it is doing the pumping..
Were you there and have a story to tell?

Tom
I'll actually be in Adelaide for work this weekend so unfortunately will need to miss it
Sounds like it will be a great ride!!!
Oh well, next time.

Hi Morgan,
Could not make it last time round but keen to come along this time. I have never done a trip beyond 50K's so hope it will be ok. What pace are you planning to ride?
Hope the weather will keep up.
Cheers,
Spart
Steady pace with a few stops. I'm aiming for 8 hours absolute max, and hopefully 7.
Juggling family s%#t!
Pikey
I'm a chance too, just working out the details.
Would really like to do this ride and if I do enough riding between now and then I'll join in
Just worked out I will be in the UK. Have fun guys.
Dylan
Would love to come but it's the morning after the Bledisloe - maybe next time.
Shit happens
As the date gets closer I'll let you know.

A friend of mine took me on a 105km "ish" ride yesterday that ended up at 127km's.
Should have recovered by October.
Looks like you'll be a starter for going solo at the 24hr with all these long rides.
Next you'll be telling me to go single speed...
someone up from Cammeray on Sunday morning? Let me know. Cheers!
Hi all,
Just a quick but important note that you will need to be self sufficient on Sunday.
Because we won't be going thru St Albans there is no water once we get going (there was some water at the Buddhist place (about 15k's in) last time, but there are no guarantees). I'm taking 4 litres and enough food for an 85km hitout. And don't forget your toolkit. Oh, and from the last experience bring something warm because it will be chuffing cold when we start out. Please don't skimp by bringing that 1 litre camelbak / envelope - you won't enjoy the ride!
I will bring a water filter for emergencies, but whoever needs it is doing the pumping..
I am keen to do this ride but no transport does anyone have space?
I live in Lindfield if this is not on route happy to meet somewhere that is.
James
Hi James,
I can give a lift from Lindfield, only catch is that I will only know for sure on Saturday if I will make it to this ride on Sunday. If I do, no probs to pick you up. Will keep you posted. Let me know where to pick you up exactly.
Bart
51 wincheter Ave or you can pick me up at Lindfield station, just let me know waht is easiest
I would be editing the post and removing your address. PM's are better for letting people know your address.
"I would be editing the post and removing your address. PM's are better for letting people know your address." ----I'm gonna get me a new stumpjumper!
No one likes them anyway.
If Spart can't make it I can pick you up. I'm in Hornsby Heights so the higher up the Pac Highway you can get the better for me-happy to return you to your door in the pm but not good in the mornings!
Give me a call on Saturday arvo if Spart can't make it.
Is anyone still planning to do this ride, even if (as anticipated) it's raining (I note that the description suggests that it's not on if it's raining...).
I was thinking about a Mooney ride, but might change to Wisemans if it's wet, and if anyone was still going(!).
-- Stephe
is for a late possible shower, so we should be sweet. If the forecast changes and you're not sure call me on Sunday morning after 6am.
My general rule is that I'll go (on this track) unless I'm gunna get wet before my ring hits leather. Mediumcore!
My car's fixed.
So see you there and Morgz was the Camelbak envelope comment directed at me?
See you thru the rain!
hi guys just joined NoBMoB will be tagging along on this ride. have done a few rides on GNR longest being about 75k hopefully i wont slow you's down.i will meet you on the western side of the ferry, being from central coast, look forward to meeting you guys then.
Hopefully there's room for a late entry
Can I grab a lift with anyone. I live in North Manly and am willing to get a cab in the morning to someone's place or a convienient meeting point. I did the 100km Dirtworks this year in 6:20.
Everyone welcome & I hope everyone can sort out lifts.
If you are definitely coming, please could you sign up for the ride so I know how many to wait for before we head off.
Will be aiming for next ferry after 8.30.
Cheers!
Sorry guys have to pull out. My bike needs to go to the shop, due to myself and the bike having a slight argument with a car last night.
Though the bike is better off than the car as i managed to enter it though the windscreen.
A new helmet too that’s three in 6 months,bollx
... for the late notice, but I won't be on this ride tomorrow. Perhaps see you at Appin though.
Have a great day out.
Have you just been to see Hancock? They should have put a warning on that movie not to try that stuff at home. Hope you're OK.
See you on the next ride..
See the rest of you tomorrow morning....
Apologies for the late notce but I can't make ti tomorrow. Was looking forward to it, will have to be next time.
Enjoy the ride.
Bart
