Details:

Here is something new for this year a regular Wednesday night ride in Menai.

Having only ridden here a few times I don’t really know my way around to well yet but it is fantastic during the day so should be a blast in the dark and something different and a bit more challenging than Terry Hills or Manly.

This can be quite a technical ride so good lights and some competent off road night riding skills are required pace wise this will generally be a quickish ride and a decent level off fitness will help so its probably not a suitable outing for absolute beginners. I know there are multiple tracks and as we find and discover them we will alter the ride each week so it wont be the same thing week in and week out.

Tour barbies welcome so if any one who rides here regularly wants to join us and show us the trails you are more than welcome.

As I suspected Menai is even more fun in the dark what a ride we had quite challenging in places with both of us managing one OTB each. We only got partially lost once and maybe only went around in one or two circles. We found some nice looking freestyle style stuff not really for me but cool to know that some decent stuff has been built in there and we also found some new to us really nice technical single track. Will be back next week to explore some more in the dark.
