Yellomundie slow then faster
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
A few laps of Yellomundie.
Looking to take the first lap slow through the technical sections having a few goes where necessary.
After this have a couple of quick laps for some for some good old fashioned fun.
All are welcome and feel free to ride faster or slower as you wish, its hard to get lost at Yellomundie. On the first lap I will make sure no-one gets left behind (I usually come last anyway!). My 15 yo will probably also be along, but somewhere up ahead on the track.
If the weather is looking dodgy the night before I'll make a post to say if its still on the night before.
Marramarra expedition
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Bloodwood Road, Fiddletown heads up to the National Park. There's a sharp right bend by Marramarra Ridge Trail, with Coba Point Fire Trail shortly after (the proceeding sharp left). There's parking by either trail which are less than 1km apart, but the area by Coba Point Fire Trail is the go.
Checkout the trail description about Marramarra in the NoBMoB trail descriptions.
We'll discuss exactly where to go at the time of the ride, though I'm keen to embark on the adventureous Smugglers descent and steep climb up from the creek, though the Coba Ridge track (remnicient to the Old Great North Road) also appeals to me. Comment to tell me what you'd rather do.
NOTE I'VE CHANGED THE TIME OF THE RIDE!!!

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Quarry Rd, Dural Side
Ive noticed some interest in this track and i ride there at least once a week.
So thought id put up a (late notice) meet there.
The track is about 7-16km depending on where we ride.
One 'lap' from Dural to Hornsby and back is about 13km and can be easily done in about 1.5 hours at a relaxing pace.
Alot of hills with water bars.
Highest point is 220m near meeting point and drops down to 40m at bridge.
Dropping into the valley will be fast and the climbs out will be a killer

OPPOSITE THE ENTRANCE TO ANSTO ON THE NEW ILLAWARRA ROAD, LUCAS HEIGHTS.
Time to start dodging the spiders again at Menai on a regular basis now the weather is warming up. (I'm sure they've been effected by nuclear fallout from ANSTO, they seem twice as big as anywhere else)
For those that don't know Menai, there will be technical ups and downs, there are a number of rocky sections and new comers to night riding might find this a bit tough.
Hope to see a few of you there.

Quarry Road Track: The famous waterbar punctuated descent
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
This ride quite literally has its ups and downs. The upside is the great downhill blasts on either side of the creek, but of course, what goes down must go back up 
But despite this, you'll get your fitness workout, as well as have some great views of Berowra Valley Regional Park, as well as see the grand old bridge at the bottom.
Won't go to much more detal - just look at the description of the track on the site... it says all you need to know.
BE WARNED: YOU NEED A GOOD DEGREE OF FITNESS TO ENJOY THIS TRACK!!
But once you can do the uphills, it's all great fun
Berowra Firetrail
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Something like this, however prolly a little longer:

Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
I'm lucky enough to be heading up to lake Macquarie for Saturday night and have decided that a long awaited ride at Awaba is on the cards. Having never ridden there before, I'm keen as to discover the goodness created by the good folk up North.
If there is anyone who wants to join me or has any info on best tracks, I'd be keen to hear from you.
I'll be in a blue VW transporter van riding green cannondale.
Thanks Mike.
Canbera Explore
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
Planning on heading to Canberra for the long weekend to check out all Canberra has to offer.
At this stage the plan is -
Sat morning ride Stromlo and then Sat afternoon ride Sparrow Hill.
Sunday morning Majura and Sunday choose favourite ride to do again.
Monday is flexible depending on who stays on.
Plan on camping at Carotel-the idea of a hot shower after riding overrode the want for a campfire.

Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Lorchio and I haven't ridden Ourimbah so we're heading up on Friday (tomorrow) to check it out. We'll be kicking off around 10am and will spend a few hours exploring.
We'll be trying out the downhill course, the XC offering and anything else we come across.
If you're around on the day we'd welcome the company and if anyone wanted to show us around it would be great.
We might see you there...
Menai - regular Wednesday night ride again
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
OPPOSITE THE ENTRANCE TO ANSTO ON THE NEW ILLAWARRA ROAD, LUCAS HEIGHTS.
I'll be going earlier tonight now, due to lack of other participants, I'm not brave enough to face the spiders on my own. I've posted the ride for next week, hopefully someone will be interested!
Time to start dodging the spiders again at Menai on a regular basis now the weather is warming up. (I'm sure they've been effected by nuclear fallout from ANSTO, they seem twice as big as anywhere else)
For those that don't know Menai, there will be technical ups and downs, there are a number of rocky sections and new comers to night riding might find this a bit tough.
Upper Mountains Mega-Medley
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Best place to meet is probably my place. I'll PM those coming with the address.
Late notice, but I'm going for a local ride this weekend, and wanna put out the invitation.
The Ride
This ride takes place in and around Blackheath, and has a bit of everything:
singletrack, firetrail, steep climbs, waterbars, 60km/h blacktop switchbacks, stunning views, devonshire tea, support crew...
The Basics: Start in Blackheath, Hanging Rock (out & back), Megalong Valley Tea Rooms (lunch/brunch), limousine service back to Blackheath.
Duration: 3 to 4 hours, depending on how many scones you eat.
Ourimbah outing
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).
Hoping my racing ralph arrives in time, nobby nic has arrived, forgotten what it's like to ride an mtb so should be interesting, don't follow my lead!
Marramarra NP - the brave or the stupid
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Bloodwood Road, Fiddletown heads up to the National Park. There's a sharp right bend by Marramarra Ridge Trail, with Coba Point Fire Trail shortly after (the proceeding sharp left). There's parking by either trail which are less than 1km apart, but the area by Coba Point Fire Trail is the go.
I intend meeting at the Marramarra Ridge junction, though I don't fancy driving down the dirt road, so will park where the sealed road ends and ride the rest of the way.
My plan is to hit the grand loop of the Smugglers descent and enormous climb up from the creek. If we aren't dead from that ordeal, having some action on the Coba Ridge track (which resembles the Great Northern Road) could hit the spot.
There are several detours that can be taken if desired; just must work out which ones to take. This is not a ride for the shy, as it will test your handling skills in many forms, but if they are good, this makes a great ride, and there are many long sweeping tracks to break up these difficult sections.
Cascades
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Acron oval
Hello everyone, who evers up for cascades im gonna do it saturday morning (according to turnout) gonna try keep up a half decent pace, but not be ridiculous. Wouldn't mind some people who are very familiar with the cascades, i would like to link it up with some other stuff just not 100% sure on directions.
Aiming for around 20km.
See you all there
Manly Dam at night
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Easy social night ride around the dam. My second time at night and first time at night for a couple of friends
Berowra Bushy Firetrails
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Playground at the roundabout of Berowra Waters Rd and the Gully Road (Parking is nearby)
So I'm planning to ride this great loop with 5km of enclosed firetrail with descents punctuated with waterbars, lookouts, mostly covered in ferns, and I rate this one of the best firetrails in Hornsby District.
After that there'll be some 'interesting' stuff (which you'll find out about if you come), followed by several other good downhill firetrail blasts, before finishing up for a day.
