Last minute ride.. as it hasn't rained in a couple of days I'm up for checking out my usual "join the trails" ride.

It will go something like this: Start at the top of Heath Track, down to the bottom and up Cascades, turn around and back down. Up Quarry climb to ridge top, over to St. Ives single track, Sandy track over the creek and up the hill to Perimeter, Duck hole, down West Head road, Salvation loop then onto Towlers Bay, down to the bottom and back, Centre track back to Terry Hills, and back by along Forest Way to the start.

It's a great ride and the weather looks good. I'll be looking for base endurance training pace (for me under 143BPM) but it will be constant apart from a couple of stops. I'm treating it as training, and due to the distance and pace it's probably not suitable to beginners, but technically it's all easy enough apart from perhaps the hills at Sandy.

Who's in?

Hi Guys

Not sure on the speed, not as fast as usual as I want to work on my base training. Distance is probably about 60kays, and I hope over 1200 meters climbing. If that doesn't scare you come along Eye-wink

Darren, sorry I don't know much about public transport, it wouldn't take you long to cycle that, you have all morning Smiling
