This is a reprise of the ride held last weekend that I couldn't make. It will be a straightforward non-technical ride, and suitable for those wishing to introduce a friend to the sport.

The ride will be slow and social. I haven't ridden this trail previously, so we can go exploring together. The length of the out-and-back is about 22km, so probably not suitable for really young children.

Weather Plan:
If it turns out to be unbearably hot we will postpone to a 5pm start so as not to stress the junior riders.
If steady or heavy rain or slushy conditions we will defer one week

Let's try that again...

As discussed, this is my proper first ride back after an injury, and I'm under strict instructions from He Who Must Be Obeyed that I'm not to fall off! The missus would kill me if I did anyway, but the surgeon is bigger. Not sure who I fear more. Sticking out tongue

From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.

This is shot 2 from last week as discussed with Rob in that opportunity.
My idea is to go down the cascades down hill single track (if i find it), climb out and see what else we can do.

I don't want to go down that trail alone, it is a bit technical and i don't want to lie unconsious until my wife starts worrying if something unplanned happens Sad, so if nobody confirms and someone has a suggestion to go somewhere else (like Lane Cove) post it and I can change the plans. If nobody comes i may go to Menai that i know where i get into Smiling

Menai.. at night.. 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 /optional/ advised.

Best thing, we ride at the pace of our last rider so this is a great way to stay together, see the animals out and about and most importantly not be worried about if this group is going to disappear into the distance. We're out to enjoy the "special effects" that night riding is all about.

I'm finally about ready to ride again and I've never been to Menai. Given I've got to be on that side of town on Saturday morning, sounds like a great time to squeeze in a quick spin.

Somebody want to show me where it is and whip me around a trail? I've heard good things about it and I wanna get some for myself... I guess I'm around the intermediate skill and fitness level and the photos of this place look awesome.

I have not been to this trail, but i am very interested in exploring it and read some good comments about it. I could not find maps in the database so I am proposing this ride and hopefully someone who knows his way around there comes along as well, if not I will go and take a look.
I don't know where is the meeting point or how long it could take but i hope we can make 2 hours ride.

Thought a couple of hours of technical night riding would be good practice, for hanging on the bike coming down Stromlo Mountain in the dark....... God, I'm looking forward to the Scott.

Change of plan due to the weather. Changed this ride to the more "bike friendly when wet"Royal National Park. You'll need good lights and reasonable night riding skills for this one.

See you there.

Want to leave Loftus Oval car park at 06:30, head along a bit of the single track in the RNP, then a bit of scumming down to Lady Carrigton Drive, all the way along LCD to some more scumming up to Waterfall. This is where I could get a little lost, but I know there’s a fire trail that goes down to the Woronora dam which is the intended route. From there its back to Heathcote along the pipeline across the Princes Highway and back into the RNP to ride the single track and fire trail back to Loftus Oval.
