DW Training @ TH
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.
This will be the last week for training as I intend on resting the week leading up to the DW race. Repeat of last week Duck, Waratah, Elvina then Centre. Last week it started at 6:45pm but hoping to kick this off earlier. If it doesn't suit I am happy to bump it back to 6:45pm. I wouldn't mind pushing to do this in 2 hours if possible which we came close last week but had a mechanical.
Awesome Awaba
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
plan on doing at least 3 laps whether they are all long laps or not will be decided on how i feel on the day.Medium pace with time to chat nothing too serious.
GNR training ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
I'd like to ride Wiseman's GNR but not overly keen on doing it solo for safety reasons.
I'm looking to do about 60 - 80 km, or 4 - 6 hours. Minimal stops along the way apart from nutrition break at half way point.
Meet at the ferry, up Devine's Hill, out past Clare's bridge for x km or hours, and then return via Shepherds gully.
This is a training and familiarisation ride for the upcoming DirtWorks. I'd like to push myself quite hard and work on managing hydration/energy levels. Pace I'm aiming for is something like 60km in about 4 1/2 hrs.

Mid week Menai ride
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.
You know this ride by now. A bit technical in places, a few pinch climbs here and there and some good flowing sniggle.
Not the ride for a beginner as it can be tricky in places, good lights will be needed and body armour is advised.
See you there.
Chris

Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.

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

Yikes - only 3 weeks to dirtworks! My last big ride was dirtworks 2009....
I saw there is a training ride on sat but I can't make it sat. I hope there are a few like minded who'll be up for a sunday flogging.
I want to do between 70 and 80ks. Minimal stops and a pace equivalent of doing the race in 6 hours. Std route. Up past claires bridge and then back same way. Down shephers gully (for the sheer fun of it) and road race back to the ferry for a well deserved protein bar.
Any takers?
Cheers,
Staffan
Dumbest Ourimbah Ride Ever!
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.
Plan is to do 1 lap of the XC Course then ride up Red Hill Rd to the top (around 16 km) and return, followed by another lap of the XC course. Should be around 55ish km in preparation for the Dirtworks so we'll attempt to minimise stops, but the pace won't be too hectic.
