If all goes well this will be at a reasonable pace with the odd break for food and a quick rest eg top of Bedford creek climb to get some air
No hazard reduction activities planned in the area and the tracks are open.
Quarry Road Track - that has its ups and downs
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
Just quickly cruising down this track to start the day, and not-so-quickly cruising (or more so CURSING) back up. Wouldn't mind some company.
It's just firetrail, but the great waterbar-punctuated downhills make it great fun, and the not-so-fun ascent is nevertheless good for fitness.
The old bridge down the bottom is beautiful, and a highlight of the ride, as well as a couple of other nice rest areas to break the climb.

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Grosvenor St, Wahroonga
Just planned to go for a quick run through this network of firetrail (and a bit of singletrack). I'm not planning to go at super speeds, but would prefer to do it at a fairly effecient pace.
Not quite sure of the exact route, though intend to go to Marrua Road through the tracks and ride back via the roads. There are numerous exits, so one of them may be selected instead.

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I haven't done this ride before, so am hoping someone might be off work/school that day (I'm trying to clock up my hours on the bike before I start year 12 the week after).
I've heard it's badly signposted, so I need someone who knows the track well to show me the way... I want to do this at a farily rapid pace, but not at breakneck speed, since I don't know this track yet. Hoping to do two or three laps to familiarize myself with it.
*NOTE THAT THE TIME OF THE RIDE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS I BECOME MORE INFORMED OF THE PREDICTED WEATHER - I DON'T WANT TO BE RIDING IN HOT WEATHER.

Planning on burning off the Father's Day smoked salmon, eggs and hollandaise sauce breakfast! I do not plan on going at this overly hard but I would like to make a decent go of it at least. Will be heading along Terrey Hills Trail/Duck Holes, around to Centre, ride around to Perimeter and then, depending how I feel, either out to Long and then either back to the car via Perimeter or Cullamine Tracks.

A medium paced roll out at Yellomundie. Been off the mtb for a couple of months for the winter, with road training the only option with the weather. I hope to compete in the summer enduro series so would like to get a few km up on the track.
Generally a skills brush up, but would like to put in a good "world cup" lap at some point.
All welcome, happy to show someone the track if they havent done it before. PM or phone if you need details of how to get there.

A mate and I are planning on repeating a ride we did a few weeks back. Here's the GPS track from the last ride... . By the way it's called Crash! cos I stacked pretty hard after hitting a waterbump all wrong when coming back down the fire trail at the far end of the ride...

OK guys, time for an Oaks adventure. BM Epic and I have been talking about this for a while as there have been some epic group rides on this trail in the past.

For those training it from Glenbrook, meet at the station carpark.
Menai not so mad!
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.
This will be a XC type ride where the pace will be brisk and stops will be limited. There will be no North shore action and for once armor is not advised.
However, 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.
Chris
PLEASE NOTE: I'M STARTING FROM A DIFFERENT LOCATION TO THE NOBMOB RIDE DATA BASE. WE'LL BE MEETING OPPOSITE THE ENTRANCE TO ANSTO ON THE NEW ILLAWARRA ROAD. PLEASE CALL IF YOU NEED DIRECTIONS.

Thanks.
Saturday morning Oxy fun!
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Morgan Road, Belrose. At the second 90 degree right hand bend in the road. There's an area just before you can park and a firetrail heading off to the left.
So, I've got a few spare hours on Saturday morning, and hopefully taking an overseas friend out for a ride. I figured I'd post the ride up, so that you know about it!
Anyone's welcome to come along - definitely the more the merrier when Oxford Falls is concerned
And having enough for shuttling makes it all the better!
Riding is definitely on the FR side of DH, and you'll definitely want a bike on the bigger end of the scale.
Let me know if you need any more info!
Sorry, have had to cancel. Riding Sunday instead, but not sure where...
Scumming - West Head & Akuna Bay x 2 - Forgot about the Election
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Looking to do 2 laps of West Head and Akuna Bay, maybe depending on how I am feeling a third.
Meet at Terry Hills shops for 8.30am.
I am going to ride up from North Willoughby via the Roseville Bridge etc.
I dont have intentions of it being a complete smashfest and have been feeling under the weather this week so If I am feeling rubbish will prolly bail after the first lap.

Pooh!
I had hoped to have time to get over to Yelllomundee this weekend but sadly that isn't going to be the case now.
Instead I'll be having a blast round the usual trails in Terrey Hills (Duck Hole/Center/Perimeter/Long aka. DH+C+P+L).
Pace will depend on who comes along, but am looking to take no more than 2h30 all up no matter what.
Social Sunday @ Yellomundee
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.
I posted a ride at Ourimbah without checking if there was a race on there which there is, so I thought Yellomundee might be some fun, cause i have not ridden there for a year or so. Lets hope not much rain fall between now and the weekend.
I would like to get 3 laps in (not sure of the distance at the moment). It is social, but not for beginners.
I can offer a lift for one person from around Top Ryde, Homebush area.
Bring some snacks and drinks as we can have a quick pit stop at the cars each time round if need be.
Social Sunday @ Ourimbah
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).
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.
Social and fun is the theme, however this is not for beginners. I hope to do 3 laps, depending on the timing because i need to back in Sydney by lunch time.
For anyone who has not ridden there, its a great loop through the state forrest that is usually around 12kms or so depending on the condition. Majority is single track, it has some hills of course but not too nasty and some excellent decents. Its not very techical and there are some chicken runs around the harder stuff.
We can stop at the cars after each lap to get some food or drink for the next lap.
Northern Beaches endurance
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Late notice but thought I'd post this in case anyone else is fortunate enough to have the day off. I have not been on the mtb for about a month and haven't ridden any bike for about a week so this won't anything too quick but I do not intend to make many stops and those that I do make hopefully won't be for too long. Not 100% sure of the route as yet but something like http://nobmob.com/node/16497. Time is flexible but would like to give myself enough time to go until I cannot go any more.
