Can't believe how quickly this filled up. I have some good local knowledge of the area if you want me to come along anyway.

Can someone let me know where this ride goes? I ride out in penno park quite often so curious if there are some new trails to have some fun with.

As a bit of a local: Rode Lane Cove Thursday arvo. Not too wet. Some isolated muddy patches (where the fire trail camber is crap and holds water) but I tend to find that it dries out faster than Terry Hills for instance (which tends to hold water much longer than LC). The water on the fire trails is limited to lower down in the gully where it's weeping down slowly from above. I'm sure the clear skies and wind will have dried it out further. I was outside last night and it was so dry there was hardly any dew at all. By Sunday you should be right for a great ride.

Can someone PM me if they are going to pull out. I would really like to do this.

GAZZA's picture

with two guests and the 18 others going. this ride is full. we have to keep it strictly to a maximum of 20 riders these days to keep the rangers happy. sorry mate. mind you, its not my ride but i'm just quoting the 'rules' and why they are in place.

ya sham the ride was full i hope you guys can organise another in the not too distant future. Would love to find the trails in the area. On that did anyone ride with a GPS etc that i could see the track and try it on my own?

There are a few maps in the park so it's not too hard to find your way through but GPS would be a great idea. Have ridden parts of the park but would love to know what i've missed.

I'm a new 'Mobber & would like to meet some of you seasoned campaigners if this ride is organised again. I had other commitments so couldn't make it this time. Have a new bike, first full susser after a few years of HT & feeling newly inspired so hope to meet some of you soon.
