Just a quick couple of laps. Allegedly some of the speedsters are coming so this will probably be two quick laps (read sub 40') without stops.

Hi all,

This is late notice, I know. So sorry about that. Given my other riding options did not seem to turn out, I still want to fit in some fun riding early on Saturday morning.

Who's up for some Red Hill action? Laughing out loud

The ride can be quite technical, but most of the harder parts can be ridden around or walked. So don't be discouraged. It is all part of the fun.

Park on Lady Penrhyn drive. I will be in a blue Mazda.

Hopefully I will see you there! Smiling

Meet at Terrey Hills Tavern car park. Normally park in far right hand corner from the car park entrance.

A steady, medium paced (ie faster than social but not race pace) spin out along Duck Holes & Centre tracks to get some additional k's in, aiming to meet back up with the 19:15 ride at the Tavern (or catching them up if back late, which we shouldn't be) to warm down and 'socialise' before suitable post-ride frothing liquid refreshment based proceedings inside the Tavern commence.

Total km's = about 36 for the night.
Total beers = 2 for the driver, as many as you like for the passengers.
Total bags of chips = surely we can find some decent food in there by now!

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.

Show on Google maps: Meeting point. Login or register to get directions.

One week before the Angry Doctor, so aiming to have a semi-hard (way-hey!) ride, perhaps 4 laps of the main XC loop to get some sniggle skills practice and then perhaps an explore or some unknown (to me) trails, and/or some downhill fun.

The weather looks a little undecided coming up the weekend at the moment but the track does deal with the wet quite well (the grave yard is still off limits I believe making the lap less than 10km's). That said we will need to get a better idea before heading out.

I am planning on doing 2 laps of the Dam on Sunday morning.

This will be a social paced ride with a few stops to have a look at some of the fun parts like the steps etc. I will probably do the standard lap of the dam first followed by a second lap with a detour of some of the extra legal bits on the other side of wakehurst parkway.

Anyone and everyone is welcome the pace will be determined by who turns up this is not a training ride so expect to stop and look at the scenery a little.

I will be driving down to Stromlo this Sunday to watch Sam Hill and Nathan Rennie smash the competition. I would be leaving Cremorne quite early, about 6:30 a.m. to be there in time to watch the downhill semis at 10:30.

If anyone else was interested in doing the trip, or eating brekky on the way, please put down your name and we can car convoy down there and turn up together. I need the friends. Smiling

Bring your cow bells! Smiling

See you out there.

This will be a easy spin just to keep the legs going. As this is the last weekend before the Angry Doctor I will be taking it easy. This will not be a training paced ride.

Plan is to do sniggle into Duck Holes, then Centre, Perimeter and Long Tracks.

We can keep the stops on the trail at a minimum and then go to the Tavern for lunch and a beer Smiling

To compliment the social ride here's the more serious one.

You know the drill, we will start from the Tavern and ride Duck Hole + Centre + Perimeter + Long and back to Tavern.

This is a training ride and you should expect to only unclip once the whole ride - at the North end of Centre Track.

We may or may not slow down if/when the social group is met - either way, at least we can get social with them afterwards at the Tavern. Smiling

Just a lap around the dam. I will aim for 2 laps but this is dependant on the weather (ie. begins to rain). The weather is supposed to be clearing tomorrow (sunday) so it shouldn't be a problem. According to the rangers, the track is open and the dam hasn't received much rain over the past couple of days. Keen for anyone to join up for 1 or 2 laps.
