Meeting Point: 

Either Glenbrook or Wentworth Falls

Am on annual leave and going to tackle Andersons + Oaks (1 way).

Will park at Glenbrook and catch the train up to Wentworth Falls.

Looking to start reasonably early in the morning, but am flexible on the time if anyone would like to come along.

Could certainly use someone who has done it before as it is my first Andersons run.

Duh, this is getting really frustrating.

With the James Williams Endura cancelled. Glenbrook Causeway closed. Anybody has any good idea where to still get a ride in?

Post your thoughts and I will see if we can get a ride out of it.

I'll move this to Sunday and I will work out a long loop that either involves the cycle path along the M5 or the Lake Loop sounds quite appealing!

I am going with the Lape Loop starting from Morriset. Watch out for a Blue Stevens Hardtail, that'll be me. I'll be at the Registration desk at about 7.30.

See you all there!

So who's up for 100+ km of dirt?

I've always wanted to do this classic ride in both directions (much harder going up!), and in the light of the Convict 100 in May (formerly Dirtworks) this gives me all the more reason to do such a long ride. Obviously not for the faint hearted, but any of those brave enough to join me, be my guest.

Here's how it'll go:
Leave Glenbrook 7:45, riding down to causeway, on dirt road to The Oaks and along the Oaks Firetrail. Long grind!
Hopefully reach Woodford by 9:45 & refill water
Down Murphy's Firetrail to Bedford creek (Downhill for once!)

If you're starting to think doing the Oakes is ... well ... a little ordinary - do we have a doozy for youi! Glenbrook to Wentworth Falls via Woodford, and back again. 100kms of sheer mountain biking joy!

This ride is hugely satisfying, and if you have a decent level of fitness, it HAS to be on your itenerary. It's that good. (Very personal, opinions, but I'd rate Oakes up and down a 6, this longer, round trip jaunt a 9 or 10.)

Hi,

keen to do something different. I have never been on the GNR before, but have a GPS file/ description which indicates that a great loop ride of somewhat just over 40km can be had in the area. Other accounts indicated that it drains well.

So, if you want to experiment together with me, sign up!

If you know the area, you can still join, but don't tell the group. Smiling

You would not want to loose out an opportunity on watching the rest of the group to get lost, right!

Cheers,
Volker

After being reminded about this on the Wednesday night ride, it's time to put it up for next year to give you all a chance to drag out your secret weapons.

Guidelines are:

1) Bike not to be worth more than $200 new or needs to be over ten years old.
2) No disc brakes.
3) You have to carry it out with you even if it is stuffed.
4) All stacks are your own fault for riding such a heap of S*&t
5) No clipless pedals (unless the bike came with them originally)
6) Must be prepared to have an embarrassing photo taken.
7) Anything else I have missed here....................

Hi All.

Getting ready for the Capital Punishment (17th March), and it's overdue for some serious time spent off-road.

This will be a voyage of the great unknown for this wannabe racer. I've only done this ride one-way, and then they were the easy option; Wentworth down to Glenbrook.

This time it's a climb up to Wentworth via Ingar , then back down again via Andersons to Glenbrook. (With quite a bit more 'climbs up' thrown in between!)

I'll be going here instead of Andersons. I will be leaving around 7am from Epping area. If anyone wants a lift PM me and we'll see what can be organised. Spare roof rack with 9mm QR fitting plus bike rack for 2. I already have one person coming with me but room for 2 more at a stretch. Plan is to get there around 9am do a loop, have a break, do another loop, have a break, do another loop and come home. Never ridden there before and looking at the BOM site has had no where near as much rain as Sydney.

Hi, posting this for Thu.

How about meeting a bit earlier and trying to link all trails? (Duck+Centre+Perimeter+Long) This adds up to somewhat short of 40km's.

People not that keen can still join, as it is fairly easy to drop out half way after finishing Centre track. This will total about 16km's car-to-car.
