I'm pretty keen on heading to Canberra for a couple of days after Christmas. Thinking of spending an afternoon at Majura Pines, and then the following day at Stromlo.
Pretty flexible with where I ride, just have a couple of days free and thought I'd check out the ACT tracks! I'm open to suggestions of where to ride and for how long.

I'll be leaving from Frenchs Forest around 8:00am on the Wednesday (now Tuesday) and can fit another 2 bikes in the car if anyone's interested in coming with.

Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)

This ride is not for the faint hearted or beginner as we'll be tackling some pretty tricky terrain.

Pace will be slow going up and on the flat, but pretty quick on the way down!

Most of the regular riders will be wearing armour, as we usually come off at least once or twice, so it is advisable. Other than that, your bike, a good light and your ability to dodge spiders, is all you need for this fun packed ride.

Hope to see you there.

PS: Don't forget a beer for afters.

With all the hot weather we've been getting, it's time to start getting out a little earlier!

This ride will be at social pace, with time to regroup, take photos of the views, catch your breath, re-do sections if you wish. Distance is about 15km, with some elevation change and a small amount of road riding in the middle. Great views from parts of Centre Track, as advised by Rob.

I haven't ridden Centre Track myself yet, so we can explore together. Come and join us for the best part of the day. Eye-wink

It has been a few weeks recovering from "bulged disk" and a sore heap, but on Sunday i did some firetrails and i am confident to ride again full throttle. I want to hit the down hill track at cascades, but in rality i am not fuzzy as long as it is mainly single trail. So suggestions to change the ride are wellcomed, not the time as i will be barely on time.

The idea is a training ride at a steady pace with a reasonable tempo.

There is no real opportunity for water along the way, so bring sufficient to get you up there and back to Pie in the sky (approx 50k).

There’s plenty of fast flowing single track, a bit of fire trail and a couple of challenging hills thrown in. Pace will be medium (well for me medium, someone else may think it’s slow) and there will be limited stops.

Terrain isn’t too tricky, but good lights will be needed.

Be good to see you there.
