JOIN THE FIRST RIDE OF THE NEW YEAR!
This is an easy-paced New Year's afternoon ride at Terrey Hills... to blow off the cobwebs.
Timed to let you sleep in after the previous night's debauchery...(5 PM start)
Perfect cure for a hangover...oops ...this is a much calmer Terrey Hills ride 
Dinner at the Tavern and a cleansing ale afterwards is an option....
[Everyone welcome - suitable for newbies, too...we're riding Perimeter + Long Trail, 22k's round trip]
Lane Cove Easy Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meet "At the Seat" South End Kissing Point Road. The seat is the picnic seat down in the valley next to the concrete cycleway (near the water crossing). If you can come at a later time then please come along. We often come past the seat so you can join in when we see you.
The concrete cycleway links the two sides. Park Kissing Point Rd (north side) or Vimeria Road (South side). Watch out for cyclists speeding cycleway.
It's kind of cool down in the valley. Doing a regular Route that avoids big hills.
Last Ride of 2008? - Northern Beaches Training Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Ralston Ave / Elm Ave, Belrose, NSW, Australia
Training for the Sydney 24 so expect lots of pain and suffering on this ride. That said the route is a blinder.
Starting at the top of Heath Track, down the Technical Downhill all the way to Quarry climb (via the legal route of course). Across Ridge Top and over the road to the Show ground, then along to Sandy trail... from here over to Permiter Track and then use Centre Track and West Head track to get to Towlers Bay for that great downhill section, then all the way back either on the road or via different trails.
Should easily be able to get at least 60km's in I reckon.
Oaks Up and Back - Twilight to Night Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Possibly the last night ride of the year
Starting a 6.00pm we will riding up The Oaks reaching the top as the sun is setting - 27k and 70% climbing (this will probably take 2 hours to 2.5 hours).
Once at the top we will be turning around and riding back down in the dark - 27k and 70% downhill (about 1.5 hours). Those who only want to ride down can meet us at the top.
You will need good lights (preferrably charged), a reasonable level of fitness, and a beer for post ride.

Merry Chirstmas Nobs. Jeeten and I wanted to ride somewhere new and exciting...Yellowmundee got the pick. We'll be going for a casual ride and we'd be happy to have some more company. However, the pace will be steady and riders should have moderate experience so we can all enjoy the technical parts of the trail. I have room to give one person a lift out there from around the northern beaches.

Don't forget its booked ALL DAY so if you want a brekkie, lunch or late arvo BBQ go right ahead. BYO food and extras to share.

Great news, we have a consensus for a Red Hill ride. You know the drill, parking is on Lady Penrhyn Drive. I will be there in a blue Mazda. Even Beany is sure to be there.
So let the fun begin! Anyone that wishes may decorate their steed with a Christmas decoration of their preference. All are welcome. Santa suits are to be encouraged, but you may find it a tad hot. 
HO HO HO!! On Rudolph!! On Blitzen!!...
Social night ride + Dinner
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills Tavern
Well I thought I may leave the Red Hill night ride for another time...perhaps next year.
Instead how about a cruisy social ride as the year winds down and grab dinner after at the Tavern.
The ride will only be short at around an hour so we can get back in time for some food.
If it rains as it is forecast to, then we go straight to the food part 
Midday Ride

King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I've finished uni and have until February until i start my job. So i have all the time in the world to go riding. I was thinking 1 or 2 laps of the dam. During the day is better so we don't have to contend with peak hour traffic.
if anyone has a better suggestion on what time to ride, feel free to make a suggestion.

Lithgow explore
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Valley Drive, Lithgow
Who's up for a good 'ol explore of the technical riding around Hassans Wall and also the Donnybrook downhill trail at Lithgow?
The ride will be of the more technical in nature. Although my description of "downhill" is a little off - they are not actually a downhill race track at all... but in fact are excellent fun as you blast down a long and flowing technical trail. There are some fun bits to stop and play on along the way. It is some of the best trails I have ever ridden.
Lane Cove Friday Arvo Newbie Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meet "At the Seat" South End Kissing Point Road. The seat is the picnic seat down in the valley next to the concrete cycleway (near the water crossing). If you can come at a later time then please come along. We often come past the seat so you can join in when we see you. The seat has a large sign near it and is surrounded by wood chip from parts of the huge fallen tree next to it. I'll take a photo of the seat.
The concrete cycleway links the two sides. Park Kissing Point Rd (north side) or Vimeria Road (South side). Watch out for the scummers in their latte sipping tights as they think that trying to break the sound barrier on the cycleway is cool.
Come along. Legal track only, avoiding big hills. XC style riding. Friends and I ride here quite a bit, come along and see our preferred route. We take it nice and easy early on. Being mature aged, we like to warm up a bit. Lane Cove holds water after rain, if it has rained during the day it is off. A very small sprinkle is ok. We ride instead on trails where the water runs off the trail instead of sitting in the middle of it.
Technical Night Ride-*CANCELLED*
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.
Well I wanted to try something new next week. I don't think we've ever done Red Hill at night.
This ride will be very technical so unfortunately will not be for beginners.
Bring a beer for the chat after.
Pads would also be highly recommended.
Ourimbah

***TIME CHANGED TO 11AM TO CATER FOR ANY JUMP TRAINING PEOPLE TO COME UP. RIZ!***
I didn't make it on Wednesday night and seeing as Harry is doing his chops about it I want to see the track. And after last weekend in the Blueys I'm PUMPED for singletrack!
I haven't done it before so will be exploratory pace (well, the first lap anyway.....)
If there's any racing going on there that I don't know about please let me know, otherwise I'll be there unless it's too wet.
Meet in the larger car park listed above (I don't know it but I'm sure it's easy).
Dropoff Training + Cascades
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Hews Reserve, Belrose
OK so Sunday seems to be the preferred day.
We will spend a bit of time at the park having a muck around off the rock. We can then pedal up to Cascades and do the Technical DH single track and then ride back up Heath Track. I will be walking back up as I will take the big bike!
I'll probably take my camera and try and get some pics of drops, crashes etc
After the ride we can get a bite to eat at the bistro up the road.
Although it is grass I'd recommend you bring some pads if you are not confident on this kind of thing.

Hi To All,
Myself and a friend are planning on re-tracing the Spring Fat Tyre Festival loop Saturday evening. The plan is to do 2 laps in the late afternoon to get the bearings once again, have a short break and then put the lights on for a final lap. If anyone is keen, more than welcome to join us.
