Ourimbah XC Training
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Well the calendar is pretty packed so I thought I'd get this one in early.
Ourimbah is always fun so I was thinking we could do 3-4 laps at a semi-training pace.
I'm never too serious about my training so there will be stops but we'll try to keep them less frequent than the social rides.
It maybe a good warm up for the ones doing the Sydney 24hr 
Were you there and have a story to tell?

got to work the Sat. Bummer! Any intrest in backing up for the Sun 1 Feb.
Hey Jay
Are you still up for this? Unfortunately it looks like I can't make this as I have other committments...doh!
If you are willing then I'm happy to leave this ride up so that you take over from me
Keen to check out Ourimbah
Any interest in a Sunday, mixing up the x country and the down-hill?
Had been planning a trip to Ourimbah for a few weeks with a mate so hopefully you won't mind if we join you for a spin - been a while since I've been up there so keen to see how the trails are at the mo - we'll be on a 575 and a Trance.
Turns out I can make it. See you all there.
But I'm not quite a 40min lap man so don't want to hold you up
Which car park is it, the first one or futher up near the start of the fat tyre race?
Edit: Sorry I've just read the details properly now!
See you there.
We'll meet at the lower carpark.
Don't worry about the pace. There will be stops.
Might se you up there and say high for a lap or so I will be up there a bit earlier with a mate.
Sure was a fun day out. Sorry the group split up into many parts. After the 2nd lap we completely forgot about training and went and did the DH track
Note to self......the DH track is no fun on XC bike after riding it on a proper DH bike one week ago!
We did another couple of laps at a reasonably good pace
Was a great ride on a great trail
It was good to be able to do a lap without Rob getting in the way
Damn slow coaches and their rest breaks (insert wink)
Disappointed i couldn’t attend. Work was great though.
Hop you folks are looking forward to another one sometime soon.
Yeah - sorry about leaving. I sort of figured you'd know we were still playing but given someone (Buck & Tien!) didn't want to ride up to the DH start we took the car. Erm... suppose that might have looked like we did a runner.
Haven't been down the DH for ages - would have been good without that Trance rider falling over in front of me all the time!

Well call me a big girl or whatever Rob but I'll take an air conditioned shuttle to the top of a DH run over riding anyday
