When: 
Sunday, 7 June, 2009 - 07:30
Duration: 
3 hours
Come Rain or Shine: 
If it's raining, I won't be there.
Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.

-34.037591,151.006672 (Old Illawarra Rd)
Details:

A few people recently have expressed interest in riding at Menai, so here it is.

I have no planned route at the moment and I’ll wait and see who comes along before deciding on where to go. However, my plan is to ride for at least three hours.

For those not familiar with Menai there is some tricky stuff in places so riders will need reasonable technical skills and beginners might find the terrain hard going. Don’t be put off by this as it’s not that bad. I think a good way of explaining it to someone that has been there is, if you can make it all the way around Manley Dam with out getting off, you’ll be ok. Also a reasonable level of fitness will be needed, it’s not going to be a fast pace but due to the terrain again it is hard going for this amount of riding time.

Hope to see a few of you there.

Chris

My suspected broken / probably just badly bruised bones have all healed up after trying a delicious line last time. So I guess I am ready to come along again and do some more damage.

Opps Im out thats the same day as WSMTB XC Rnd 4 so cant make it.

Chris,

Thanks for guiding us around the track today. It was 100% absolutely brilliant fun. I'm still smiling form that little freeride section.

Next Menai ride: "I'll be back"

Cheers,
staffan
