Wiseman's Ferry ride - CANCELLED
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry car park
One last hit-out before tapering off for the Angry Doctor..
This will be the 'tech softie' 100k version, up the Western Commission Track, follow the (surprisingly technical) GNR to Mogo Creek and back down the gravel to Wiseman's thru St Albans to test your mental powers of endurance. Starting a bit earlier this time and stopping as little as possible so there's a chance of grabbing "a cup o' tea an' a slice of cake Aunt Sally" at the Fickle Wombat in St Albans & get back to the car before dark..
If Open and not to wet - Manly Dam - 2 or 3 laps
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
I am looking at doing 2 or 3 laps without intended stopping other then tackling some problems or practicing skills tomorrow. Social ride but like to get those legs working hard.
I have a 07 Reign 1 and will be at the Hydraulics at 9.30 if is not raining and it doesn't rain to much tonight;
Weather forecast is:
Forecast for Saturday
Just a brief shower or two, more likely around the middle of the day. Fresh southwest to southerly winds, strong and gusty nearer the coast, easing in the evening.
Precis: Brief shower or two. Windy.
Bigger Hill Fest
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.
After the success of the shortened hill fest yesterday, and with 2 weeks to the doctor, bring on the stupidity! 
This is billed as a training ride so there will be minimal stops. Please do not show up unless you can do this distance, or at least ride fast until one of the bail out points. If that's your plan be prepared to gracefully bow out somewhere along the route if you are struggling.
So, the route will be the following hilly goodness:
NIGHT RIDE: The (NEW) Manly Dam
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

An Early Lap
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
A few people have expressed intrest in my early lap before meeting up with the main ride so here it is.
I am riding to the dam with Gavin and should be there in time to start at 6.15pm if you dont see us by 6.20 start without us and we will catch up. This lap will be a medium pace and will be the standard loop with the aim of getting around in time to meet up with the main ride there wont be any stopping except maybe to have a quick look at the new section.

TUESDAY Night ride - Perimeter & Long trail (Everyone welcome)

Yarramundi Trainning Ride for Angry Dr
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Maybe put two groups together. I am keen to do some training, but I don't think that i am that fit. I have also got some slower guys coming possibly.
Works well though because it is a loop and you can do and go where ever you want and at the speed you want.
I want the morning to be rather relaxed and all who are keen are welcome to come along and have some fun.
Cascades Training Ride :P
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meet at the end of Wyatt Ave in Belrose.
Riding the 4 gates 3 times.
Down heath, up quarry, down, up to acron, down, up to davidson, down, up heath. Repeat 2 more times.
This will be a training ride with alot of hills.
So riding will be continuous with minimal breaks.
Bring lots of water and food. At over 50km and 1600m of elevation, it will be a tough ride.
There may be the option to pull out after 2 laps depending on legs. I for one know I may not make the distance....

Manly Dam endurance training ride (Dam IS open)
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
A solid paced training ride in preparation for the Stromlo 8hr next week.
I expect to be turning out 45-50 min laps for up to 5 hrs depending on the conditions.
It will be a consistent pace, no intentional stopping, apart from food/water top-ups every couple of laps.
I'm happy for anyone to join in/drop off for laps as suits, will be coming past the car park every 45-50 min or so (unless we have a mechanical or other unforeseen event). A good level of fitness and bike handling skill required.
Maintenance on Dam is finished (This morning), so the full loop is open.
Terry Hills BMX Track for dirt jumps!
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meet at Terry Hills BMX Track. Its at Melbourne Memorial Reserve on Aumuna Rd just off Mona Vale Road.
Well i've got zero dirt jumping experience and have been wanting to try it for a lot time, so have decided to give it a go. Terry Hills BMX Track is well maintained, smooth, safe and flowing and i think is a great place to build up some skills and confidence. You can also roll everything and just pedal/pump the track which would in itself be good fun/practice.
If you would like to join me see you there at 10am this Saturday. I will be on my white & black NS street bike (in my sig)
Cheers, 
A Few Laps of the Dam
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Just planning a few social laps of the dam. Nothing serious. Anyone is welcome to come along.
Need some training?
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Hey all,
Looking for some training for the Doctor? Looks like its time for an Oaks up and Back. This will be a medium paced to ride with no dithering around - however if the roid boys do decide to come then there might be two groups and they can just leave later!
Should be a good ride - I haven't done the oaks in ages!

Delicious FreeRideTastic
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
The meeting point will be opposite the ANSTO nuclear reactor. Park on the road shoulder opposite the ANSTO sign on New Illawarra Road.
As described in the heading this is a freeride and downhill ride at Menai where we will visit several of the freeride constructions and also the very good downhill track. There is no shuttle. Everyone will be pushing back to the top.
Also we will go for a general pedal about the place for the sake of some exercise and to get muddy.
The pace will be relaxed with plenty of time to repeat jumps and downhill runs.
I've set a limit of ten riders to minimize congestion.
6 Foot Track
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Post if interested, and we will arrange a meeting point.
Leon and I are doing the 6 foot track on Friday. He is giving me a lift to Katoomba from St Ives. We will ride the track until we get tired, then head back.
I'm thinking that we would leave St Ives between 8 and 9.
Cascades night ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meeting at the power stationy thing, Ralston Ave
Yes I know it's late notice, but if anyone fancies a quick ride tonight I'll be there. Not planning on going mental, but will try to keep a constant ride. Cascades, up the steep Quarry climb, past the pump station and back down the water bars.
Oaks - up & back...Professors Week off pt3
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook Station Carpark
**I got me some trouble: broken wrist=no riding until Sept/Oct**
**Sorry - Professor**
I might be asking for trouble, but I've always wanted to do an up-and-back trip on the oaks, and why not!
This will be my 3rd decent ride in 4 days, so I imagine I'll be riding at a "medium" pace. (I managed the oaks classic in 1hr 7min, I don't imagine I'll be doing anything like that)
Plan is to ride up via the firetrail, probably stop at the Woodford end for a bite to eat (mental note - bring food!) then come back & do the sniggle at the end.
night ride - Terrey Hills, St Ives and back
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Manly Dam - Professors week off pt1
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
*No Professor - broken wrist...see you in 6 weeks*
Day 1 of my week off work = Manly Dam Day.
I've only done 2 laps of this before & managed a *cracking* 50min lap, so I'll be out there to do 5 or so laps & learn the track a bit better.
Aiming to get under 45min, we'll see how that goes...
Happy for anyone to join me, the first 2 or 3 laps will be trying to learn parts that I (blush) walked last time, with a timed lap or two at the end.
Planning on bringing a bit of lunch, not taking things too seriously.
Come join me for 1 lap or all,
Don

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Lady Penrhyn drive.
Tentatively postponed until August 10
Ever wanted to wow your significant other with some shots of you riding?
When you last climbed that steep boulder did you ever wish that someone had a camera ready?
Ever wanted to get some action shots of some other riders without having worry about slowing the group?
On Saturday I'm planning to have a photography day at Red Hill. I want to get some action and artistic shots, not just of others but of me too.
Manly Dam

A Brief Morning At Wiseman's Ferry
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
As I suggested we shall meet, ride the fun section to the junction with Western Commission Track, stop, stand about and bullshit, perhaps consume some muesli bars and/or pieces of fruit and then it's back the way we came.
The pace will be moderate. I'm bringing my Glory because I like riding it. For a downhill sled it pedals along nicely.
Ebony the all mountain dog will stay at home as the trail is in a national park.
Ourimbah XC
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Planning on doing at least 4-5 laps of the xc course and may head up Demtel hill for a roll down the downhill (well what i can ride of it that is).
The pace won't be super fast I do want to at least do the course in 2 lap stints with few breaks.
An intermediate level of fitness and skill should get you through the course.
