Well I am back at work

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
A clown around in the dark and try and stay on the bike this time type of ride
i would like to venture near the north shore stuff, have a play and blast down the berm track ,(hopefully the pea sized rock that caused my little excusion has gone for a walk) and do a bit of sniggle on the way, but depending on who comes we'll see what happens
pads in my case are mandatory but for others less inclined to throw caution to the wind they would be optional
just some fun in the bush on the treadly with some mates

A ring-in from another well know MTB group and myself will be riding DH+C+P+L on Wednesday morning. Said ring-in says he's out of shape so this will be a sedate, probably around 3 hour pace.
Come along if you're not busy? 
Red Hill Ride - w Vanessa -Sunday style
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park at the old entrance to Narrabeen Fitness Camp. Be ready to ride. Leave 17.00 Sharp.
If coming from Cromer Connection via garden of Gullies meet at The Sand Pit ( 33°43'32.54"S,151°15'31.62"E) around 17.15-17.30.
THIS RIDE WILL BE CANCELLED IF ITS ABOVE 30' AS PREDICTED! RED HILL GETS VERY HOT! SORRY
Need to be reasonably fit and have at least 1.5 litres of water. There there is no warm up its straight up hill from the start. The first 35 minutes is all climbing. But it is varied and interesting and goes fast. (I've been riding Red Hill for 4 years and know it extremely well.)
I'll be kind to those less fit and try and make it fun. The whole circuit usually takes me an hour but we'll do a slower version for the less fit/tech savvy.
The only DAM place to ride on Sunday
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.
SO, every thing else is closed due to a 'questionable' fire risk, so I'll be lapping the dam for a few hours on sunday morning.
All welcome to join in for a lap or several until it gets too hot.
I'll expect to be pacing the laps around the 36-37 minutes, the idea being to get into a steady groove and keep the flow. Happy to pause at the top of climbs if someone is a bit slower on the steep bits but generally able to keep up the pace.

If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Got a work thing at the tree climbing place next door, thought i'd get a few sneaky laps in before that.

Meet at Lake Parramatta Car Park: PARRAMATTA. Turn from Church St, into Burke St, into Illawong Dr.

The ride will not follow the technical walking track around the actual lake. That walking track is busy on weekends with walkers of all ages, and has cliffs. The ride will go from the Car Park to the popular XC loop. It will also include showing where the loop connects with the cycleway that leads to Jenkins Road Carlingford. You can easily ride from Lake Parramatta to Lane Cove National Park (done it). That could be another day.

This is an out-and-back at social pace. There are great views from a few spots so bring your camera if you like. The trail consists of fire trail, with some sand. It is non-techical.
At 22km return it is probably not suitable for young children, but my teenager enjoyed it last weekend. Weather is forecast to be warmish - mid 20's - so bring adequate water and your sunblock.
