Terrey Hills saunter / new bikes show & tell
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.
Seeing as there seem to be a few new bikes out there at the moment I thought what better way to bed in the new beasties than with a saunter along some familiar trails. I'm gunna do Duckholes/Centre/Perimeter/Long, followed by a skinny flat white & some sort of sugar coated pastried fruit pie.
Everyone welcome. Pace will be social, the ride is approx 40k's and you can dump or join at the half way point (ie the shops again).

Glenbrook station carpark.
Hey,
I need to get some training in for the Half Fling and I gotta figure out how fit I am to see how quick i can go. The aim is to do the oak's up to the top, stopping at the Helipad and then at the gate for water and Guis etc. Come back down and detour via St Helena's I'm hoping I will be fit enough to do the lot at a a good pace.
As always if there are some roidy people there we will split as appropriate.

Oxford Falls - Freeride and technical funness
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Morgan Road, Belrose. At the second 90 degree right hand bend in the road. There's an area just before you can park and a firetrail heading off to the left.
Greetings!!
I will be riding the downhill / freeride trails at Oxford Falls on Saturday morning. Will look to do a few hours worth. Anyone interested is more than welcome to come along. I am doing my best to ensure there will be at least one shuttling vehicle available. I will know more on that over the next couple of days.
These trails are mainly for the skilled, the brave, or just plain stupid. Probably not suited to a noob rider. Having said that, some of the trail branches are quite accessible to a stock XC bike so if you are interested in learning, do come along.

Terrey Hills Wednesday Night Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills Tavern Car Park
Can't do Thursday, but still would want to get out this week. I was thinking about Duck Holes, Center Track and then maybe knit some additional k's on Perimeter and maybe even Long Trail into it. Not sure about all the track names, let me know if I am talking complete nonsense . Ah sure, quick beer afterwards in the Tavern, as well.
Any buyers for Wednesday night? All type of riders welcome. If two times Terrey Hills in one week is too much, I would also be prepared to swap over to Manly Dam.
Let me know, cheers,
Volker

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.
Just a cruise down Duckholes and back up centre. The more the merrier. Don't forget your lights!
Manly Dam Night 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.
I'm trying to get in a bit of night riding before the CORC24, and with the weather over the weekend it hasn't worked.
If the rain keeps up, I don't want to go out and chop up the tracks, and wet+dark is not a good combo...
However, the strong wind on Monday afternoon and night should help to dry it out a bit.
This is a training ride for experienced riders, but i'm hoping there may at least one other who is interested.
If the weather is questionable during the day and you are keen, PM me in the afternoon, and I may head over to garrigal or terry hills instead.

Social Ride At Manly In The Dark
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.
A social paced lap of Manly at night this is a mountain bike ride with some nice technical challenges especially at night this outing is not for beginners even at the slower social pace keep in mind that Terry Hills might be a better ride for you if your skills are not quite there yet. The pace will be social anyone wanting a harder hit out should arrive for the earlier fast lap with no stops.
Bring along a beer or in my case a Ginger beer for the usual after ride analysis and chat.

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Going to try and make this a weekly MTB hit out, to supplement the road training.

Ourimbah School Holiday Special
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.
If you're on Holidays this week, head out to Ourimbah for a few fun laps of the XC Course. The track is in great condition at the moment - even after the rain. Will be a very social pace. The Drop is off-limits sorry.
Single track training
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Hazelbrook train station carpark on Railway parade, near Higgs place.
This is planned to be fairly constant single track riding to practice your skills, improve your fitness and have a bunch of fun before the 24 hour and the Fling, both of these races have heaps of great single track so you owe it to yourself to get out there. The pace is planned to be medium to quick and as always we'll will wait at the next corner or top of hill to regroup. If you are unfit this ride is unsuitable. We will be doing mostly single track but throwing a bit of technical climbing and descent.
Late Avo Manly DAM
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Going to go and check this one out. Its been on the list for a while now. Was going to be sunday but apparently they have a race on.
Fling training ride at Wisemans Ferry
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
A long ride in preparation for the Southern Highland Fling leaving 2 weeks to recover before the Scott 24 hour. I had in mind a 70 to 80k ride starting at wisemans ferry then up the sandy hill and continuing 35k along Gt Northern Road. Then turn back and go down Shepherds Gully and finish ourselves of on the 8k road back to the ferry.
This is a training ride so minimal stops but the pace will not be race pace. A moderate pace to average about 15kms / hour is ideal.
Bring heaps of food and water and a spare tube and everything else required for big a day out.
Saturday at Manly Dam
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.
Greetings!
I will be doing a couple of fast laps around the Dam early on Saturday morning. If anyone else wanted the hit out, please come along. My intended riding speed will be fairly fast, but with most of the typical stops along the way for a drink. And maybe a small bit of playtime on the bumpy bits. Given this, the ride would probably not be suitable for newbies.
If you don't recognise me, I will be the one in the blue Mazda2.
See you there.
