Note that this ride is Cancelled.

When:

Saturday, 4 April, 2009 - 08:15

Duration:

3.5 hours

Come Rain or Shine:

If it's raining, I won't be there.

Ride Database Entry:

Ourimbah State Forest

Meeting Point:

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.

Red Hill Road, NSW @-33.275884,151.377053

Details:

I'd like to go for 3 laps.

For those who haven't been there: really nice 10k XC lap.
I don't think this is a beginner's ride, but certainly something to try out and improve your skills.

For those who have been there: see above...

Having said that, I don't want to race the lap, but would like to keep a bit of a flow in the ride for each lap. That doesn't mean we can't stop and try the challenging passages again, something which we don't do that often. A break after each lap for a quick snack and water refill is also planned.

Btw, this is for all the rider who are not going to Canberra that weekend... (not many left I guess).

Happy riding.

Update: Sorry, would have liked to go, but it would be too messy for a fun ride.

Who's in?

No confirmations as yet.

What Happened?

Were you there and have a story to tell?

Hey

I'll be coming along as long as I have most of my assignments done! Then only can I treat myself to hrs of FUN. : ) I do cycle to work as well, but the weekend rides are crazy fun! Cycling to work is about "race against the clock", avoiding cars, crazy drivers, pot holes, kangaroos and chasing good looking woman who shout "NICE BIKE"! Yes..that has happened many times..

Had a blast with these two dudes at Menai two weeks ago, so hoping for plenty more.

Sorry

Sorry guy's, I'm going to have to pull out of this one, as a space has become available on a team and I'm now going down to the Mont.

I don't like to let people down, but I'm sure you can understand in this case.

Have a great ride and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

I'll post it again once it's less wet and no immediate races are around.
May be in 2-3 weeks.

Happy swimming
