I have two reasons for organising this XC group ride.

1) I let out too much air from my rear shock by accident... I need to borrow someones shock pump. Anyone?
2) Training for the Angry Doctor.

I'm looking at achieving at least 50km of Awaba fun. Nothing too fast or strenuous. I'm not racing, just training. Stretching and eating breaks will be included every lap or two!

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.

Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

OPPOSITE THE ENTRANCE TO ANSTO ON THE NEW ILLAWARRA ROAD, LUCAS HEIGHTS.

Seems just lately everyone is posting "madness" rides, so to be different this is a none madness ride.

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.

I'm looking to do a couple of laps and maybe a third, depending on how I feel and how damp the track.

Lap 1 will be at an easy training pace of around 45 minutes, looking to do non-stop. Lap 2 will be at social pace ie, with breaks to wait for folks to catch up / catch their breath.

Happy to have folks join for first or second laps. ETA for start of lap 2 would be 12:50.

I'll be away from a computer from 8:45am so use your judgement on the weather - if it's been raining on the day I won't be riding.

I plan on doing The Oaks up & back as a training ride as the trails on the Beaches could do with more time to dry out. I am not sure of exactly how long but have put 4 hours as a guess.

I'm turning 21 again (for the 20+somethingth time!) so I reckon that's a good excuse to stretch the legs.

This will be a social ride, and will suit those with some off-road riding experience, but perhaps not those still within their first half-dozen off-road rides.

So come and celebrate me getting older! Eye-wink

Due to all the wet whether and other commitments if have been off my bike for about a month or so and want to ease back into it with one of my favorate trails. This is not for beginners even though its mostly ridable, there are some long down hill sections and i only really want to be waiting at the top of hill (or people waiting for me at the top of hills).
Plan on doing 2 laps and time will tell if i can get a 3rd in.
