Easter fun ride around the Dam

King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I thought it would be fun to ride 1 or 2 laps around the Dam on Easter Sunday and have some Hot Cross buns afterwards.
This is a social ride, so no hot laps. Everyone is welcome!
Hope to see you there

Ourimbah fun ride on Saturday !
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.
Ourimbah ride on Saturday morning - 2 laps at normal pace.
I'll be there with my son Benji (12) and another MTB dad with his teenage son.
Pace will be normal (i.e. reasonably quick - they are no beginners)
Come and join us on those beautiful single tracks - the more the merrier. 
Cheers, Hans

Remember when nobmob rides were social?
Remember when we stopped for a beer at the look out?
Remember when we could take the mickey out of ourselves or others without being censored?
Remember when we waited for the slowest rider at regular intervals?
Remember when we had a chat and a laugh along the way because it was about the journey not the destination?
Remember when we were part of community and we all had a say what happened?
Remember the time we were out till after 11 because we did wait for the slowest?
No, well nows your chance to find out.
CANCELLED - > 100mm rainfall since Wednesday //Ourimbah Social Ride - for those not going to Canberra
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
I'd like to go for 3 laps.
For those who haven't been there: really nice 10k XC lap.
I don't think this is a beginner's ride, but certainly something to try out and improve your skills.
For those who have been there: see above...
Having said that, I don't want to race the lap, but would like to keep a bit of a flow in the ride for each lap. That doesn't mean we can't stop and try the challenging passages again, something which we don't do that often. A break after each lap for a quick snack and water refill is also planned.

So far, there is 6 girls from the wannaride database interested.
I would like to have some Nobmob girls to join the ride Christine, Anke and co !! please come along !!
It will be a good opportunity to meet new girls and maybe to put a team together for the next 8hr WWS round ( entry is free for girls team!!!!!!!)

North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road.

If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Last chance to practise some switchback climbs before the Mont 24 hrs.
This is a training ride with min 2 or 3 laps. The Ourimbah track is most representative of the Sparrow Hill 18 km's loop - with plenty of sniggle/switchback climbs, hardpack soil etc.
See you there!
Cheers, Hans

I thought a daylight adventure on the trails of Ourimbah would be fun. Plan is to follow the track of the 5 ways to finish (i think thats the correct name?)and complete once or twice. This is just a social ride, ive only completed it a few (thousand) times before, ok only joking and love the flowiness and sometimes the challenge the track presents! And the more the merrier!
Sean's Belated Birthday Dirtworks Training Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
West Wisemans Ferry. Turn left bottom of the hill. There's a small parking area I hope we can all fit in!
Just what it says on the related forum topic. Wanted follw Rob's ride from this time last year and look at the last section (this makes up roughly Km 72-92) of the 100Km Dirtworks course. The plan is to meet at the West ferry (turn left, not right bottom of the hill), leave cars there then cross on the ferry riding the 5Km or so to bottom of the climb so as to be warm for that. Then ride the Womerah Range trail, turn round and ride back.
Manly Dam After Dark – Blondies SOCIAL 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.
This is a social ride which means we will be re-grouping at all our regular spots SOOO, if you want to race around doing a ‘hot lap’, fancy doing a ‘training ride’ or don’t want to stop and wait for everyone else then this is NOT the ride for you!
This ride is a social ride – which means riding as a group and not losing anyone or leaving anyone behind.
This also means bringing a beer or preferred bevy for a chat after the ride – if you don’t want to do that either then this isn’t the ride for you
red hill and oxford falls
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
plan is to do red hill, some technical sections, then head down to the parkway near the meat works, ride the road up to morgan road, then the slippery dip through to gutter ball and then down to deep creek, back to cromer road via bike track around the lake ( long way via jamison park ) back up red hill to the start point.
should be about 30K and about 3 hours, so its not a flat out pace but bring your sports drinks 
Hard Hill Training
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.
I'm doing my std hill training session but twice to cover about 50k. By doing all tracks up and down one lap becomes about 25ks. On a few occasions I've set out to do two laps but I always find an excuse to cut it short. Perhaps with some company and suitable peer pressure the full 50ks of pain can be endured.
Note, this is a reasonably hard ride and the 50ks should be covered in about 3 hours.
I set the limit to 4 but that can be extended in the unlikely event that there are enough characters out there who are intrested.
Training ride @ Terrey Hills
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.
Training ride for the upcoming Mont '09 race, but anyone would like to tag along... you are most welcome.
We are riding Perimeter & Long trail, possibly Duckholes & Centre, Salavation, Towlers. ~ 35 K's.
Training pace, but will split into 2 (slower/faster) groups if required.
Leaving from Terrey Hills at 7-30am sharp! See you there.

Oaks up and Back Twilight Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook station carpark.
Ok, hoping some of you will actually keep me company on this but if i end up going alone I will probaby catch the train back down - think that ride in the dark solo could be a bit creepy...
Not a super fast ride as I will be there - if you do come please make sure you bring a beer for after the ride in the carpark - and also maybe some snacks, we were starving last time!
MEEE
Menai Social Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Being a member of a single car family it looks like I'm going to have to ride locally again next weekend, as the boss has plans to use the car Saturday and Sunday. (It is her car, so can't complain too much)
Planning on tackling my usual trails, a mix of some fire trail, tricky climbs, fast flowing single tracks and some of the easier less technical free ride runs, but not looking to venture on the really technical free ride areas.
Pace will be easy to moderate and there will be regular stops to ensure we keep together.
Cascades - 3 laps
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
At the St Ives gate (Acron Oval), Douglas street, St Ives.
3 full laps of Cascades with all gates.
This is my cross-country training ride ( have not done Cascades for nearly 6 months now). I am in for some serious lung busting punishments.
If it rains any day from now until Saturday, i won't be there, as Cascades does not usually dry out quickly.
This is the profile:

I thought maybe for a horrible change we could do my least favourite track - would like to do the ride up to the showground and back but not sure about time?
Open to suggestions - as long as it's not four gates.. I am not that friendly with hills...
ps any roidys coming along, be prepared to wait for me..although I guess you could do repeats of Quarry hey!!!
