This will be a semi-serious training ride, planning to pack-in around 70km plus hills.
I haven't actually rode on a lot of the trails so if anyone has and would like to play Tour Guide Barbie that'd be awesome.

Would prefer a small group but anyone not afraid of some serious hard work are more than welcome.

See you in the morning

philberesford Half Hill Fest Took longer than expected but it ended up being a good run all the same. Got a bit lost around the Wild Flower Garden. (That bike path all looked the same to me). And part of the trail of the original GPX track (The bit just after the WFG) has now...

Were you there and have a story to tell?

Don't be disheartened if no-one shows for this, especially after the day lots of us have had! With a bit more notice would be very interested in this, so next time?

Took longer than expected but it ended up being a good run all the same. Got a bit lost around the Wild Flower Garden. (That bike path all looked the same to me). And part of the trail of the original GPX track (The bit just after the WFG) has now been fenced-off so had to find an alternative route along Mona Vale Road. We picked up a nice peice of sniggle from the Pistol Club to the top of the trail head going towards Duffy's. Came back via Terrey Hills shops to pick up some more water when fatigue kicked in. So we blasted down the road back to the cars in Belrose. That unfortunaltey meant we missed last section of the Hill Fest, still it means we left something to go back and finish off. Next weekend perhaps?

All up 65kms. So hit right in the middle of the distance I was wanting to cover for the day.
