Hi - my brother is in town from the UK and I'm taking him riding at Wingello on Friday and then Stromlo on Saturday.

IMP - he is not a rider. He has ridden and raced bikes back when we were teenagers, but hasnt really done much other than commute to work since. It will be a very cruisey ride, and extremely social.
It is likely he may even stop for a quick smoke halfway round the loop.
We'll probably do one lap of the Red loop before enjoying a burger at the Wingello Post-Office for lunch.

If anyone is off work, and fancies a loose ride, then just pitch up.

beat the rain at Appin

When: 
Sunday, 1 May, 2011 - 08:30

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Ride Database Entry: 
Appin
Meeting Point: 

North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.

Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.

Show on Google maps: Meeting point. Login or register to get directions.

with all this rain around it seems appin is most likely to be the dryest MTB track in Sydney so a few social laps will be the go ,good opp to check the place out before the rock wallaby enduro in 2 weeks and for all those who are not riding dirt works but want to get out for a ride come and join us for a bit of fun!
I am open to changing start time to suit others If it helps.

Just a loop around Berowra Hts as was planned for Tuesday. It will probably still be wettish, but the track drains well and hence should be all right.

The main rd in has been dusty as all get up so in an effort to keep on the good side of the locals it might be best to come in via the showground.

From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)

Go around the top side of the show ground and follow the road around to the left. This will take you around towards the top side of the cemetery. from there a couple of cross rd will bring you back tot he bicentennial trail and thus the car park

We're not racing next Tuesday due to the holidays so a few of us plan to meet up at 4 and go for a social ride instead.

All welcome

I reckon wingello is an awesome place for group rides ,it has such a remote feel about it, anyway I think 1 lap of the "willo" loop including the new bits of singletrak would be a blast,then revisit some of the single track bits just to add a few extra km then a coffee and feed at the little cafe near the station would make a nice end to the ride.

I know it's late notice, though after slogging hard through a painful term of year 12, I'm very keen for a nice long ride of Andersons and the Oaks and hoping I could get some company. The train arrives at Lapstone at 8:21am to get to Wentworth Falls at 9:10 (If you want to meet there instead). Depending on people's desire, we can hit St. Helena instead (I've never done it before), as I'm keen to see what it's like.

Anyway, hope to see you there.
