Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
I haven't been up to Terrey Hills before so going to have a look around. I know that this is mainly fire-trail but I am kind of keen to cruise around for a while, rack up some kms and try to get the fitness up a bit. Maybe even cross the road to hook up with Cascades. Something like this ride here which sounds roughly like this route here.
Ourimbah- Easy Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
we are just planning to take a few easy laps.

GNR Excursion

Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Keen to get out for a longer ride this Sunday as part of prep for my first Dirtworks. It's a training ride for me but I won't be going very fast (because I am not as fit as most of you!).
Planned route is the same as taken with Daniel and Joe back in January, that is, out to ten mile hollow and then down Simpson's track and back up Donny's track, before heading back down over Clare's Bridge, back along the GNR to the top of Devine's Hill, and if feeling strong enough down Shepherd's Gully. Should work out at between 50 and 60ks:

Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
I'm heading out to GNR Saturday morning with a couple of mates and any fellow NobMob people that are interested.
Aiming to leave Nthn Beaches around 7:30am.
The plan:
Go up Devines Hill (short and sharp but gets us to the top of the hill and the fun stuff quickly). Ride along Great North Road for an out-back, and going back down the hill via Shepherds Gully. Then a bit of road riding (9km, easy) back to the ferry.
See for an example that worked out to 33km total.
The Big O Training Ride mk II

North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. I think they prefer us to park up on the second clearing these days???
Starting some longer rides in preparation for the Dirtworks. Looking to knock out 5 laps with minimal stops but may settle for more or less. This ride is about building a little bit of endurance back up and getting the feel of the trails again on Shrek the Trek that hasn't been ridden since the Scott 24hr. Not too fussed on pace at the moment so more than happy for people to come and go as they please.
Cascades - today 5:30 pm! Love the hills!

The Mont is on in couple of weeks.
I haven't riden on dirt since that crash at Appin in January. I rode at Ourimbah on Saturday and it's clear more dirt is required quick smart!
Have just got back from couple week holiday.
Haven't used lights on the bike since... must be the Scott?
All this tells me it's time for a night ride at Terrey Hills to make sure the lights are still working.and make sure I can still ride on the dirt before going up to GNR

Jamison Park, Narrabeen. The park with the boat ramp at the end of Mactier St.
A nice Sunday morning lap of Narrabeen Lake with a bit of Red Hill thrown in. The Red Hill section of this ride while not " D/H " is a bit on the technical side of things, a few steep rock sections and a few step ups/ downs. The rest is mostly dirt path with a bit of bitumen, about 50/50. Oh and the Red Hill section is a bit on the technical side

would like to ride two laps of the ccomtb course, with the possibilty of maybe stopping and re-riding a couple of sections i.e the drop off,and cornering in the sand pits, just to help with my racing, i only ride d grade so will not be a massively hectic pace.
cheers

Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Binned due to bad weather - it's not looking like the balmy night I'd hoped. Reports are that there has been constant drizzle/rain so imagine even if DH/C are good, Perimeter will be a soggy mess. No-one seems that keen so ride cancelled. Sorry if this catches you unaware.
Oooh look...
The Mont is on in couple of weeks.
I haven't riden on dirt since that crash at Appin in January.

Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
I'm looking to do a repeat of the Red Hill ride we did last Saturday. We'll attempt to cover all of the main trails up there as well as anything else of interest, the main ride will be basically this :
Main trail -> single track -> rim ride -> down to the sports centre -> back up the sand pit -> across the top -> downhill track -> along the parkway -> back up the 4wd track to the top -> main trail back to the start.
All of this is entirely rideable and the downhill track has A,B,C,D lines so, yes you CAN ride it on almost anything.

I am not sure if the trails will be dry enough. Has anyone been there lately?
Would like to do the same loop as last week but starting on the other side. Start through the small NS stuff, go until the top of the downhill and back.
I am sure that if by myself i will get lost and will use the GPS to come back though
A Dam good ride
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'll be out celebrating/circulating in the morning for a few hours.
This is not really an organised ride, more an invitation to join in for a lap, or 2/3/4 as you wish.
My plan is to do 2 or 3 'training' laps in the mid to high 30's, on the Mojo, then jump on the single speed and do a couple more at a more relaxed pace.
Meet at the hydraulics lab, I'll be there in my blue subaru wagon.
