What You Missed

The plan, park at Woodford station take the train to Wentworth Falls, ride Andersons and have a break for some early lunch before doing up to 3 hrs of really good single track/fire roads in the Hazelbrook/Lawson area, the folk that did the mid Mountain tour are familiar with this area, but We will be doing the improved loop that I've been riding with sweet flowing single track, water bars and some technical up and down (for Liam). Then back to the cars and drive to the camping spot (no fees type) with drop toilet.

As the single tracks are being closed around our ears we may have to travel slightly further out to train for the Angry Doctor. Aim to get at least 2 laps of the XC course and perhaps the downhill as well. This means The Valley, Big Gully Road, Jurassic Park, Potters Gully Road, Five Ways, The Roller Coaster.. it's all on the trail and all brilliant.

Aiming to ride at a fair pace, but the main idea is to get the single track skills up a bit. I'm happy for anyone to come along.

Hey guys,

This is for those who feel like a bit of a spin before the newbies ride.

I'll be doing Duck Holes and Centre track leaving at 7:45 on the dot.

This will make sure I'm back in time to the Terry Hills Shops for the newbies ride. http://nobmob.com/node/4940

Note: now moved to Wednesday night by popular demand.

Anyone interested in a SOCIAL CRUISY ride at Terrey Hills on Tuesday Wednesday night? Just a nice ride, no ‘roid boys invited unless they will ride slow – I imagine there are people out there who aren’t going to Dirtworks? And us of who are still have days to clean our bikes...

Plus I have a work function Wednesday night and touch Thursday night...

MEEEE

Rainfall (last week):

This ride is the Oaks up and back it is a training ride for the dirtworks so will be at a moderate to fast pace similar to todays ride at Terry Hills and the Andersons Oaks adventure a few weeks ago.

There are no trains involved with this ride as we leave Gleenbrook and head up the Oaks under our own power to the top gate at Woodford. Here we turn around and head back to Glenbrook with a possible detour out the Pisgah trail before blasting down the single track.

This ride will be at a good pace with minimal stops.
* DUCK/CENTRE THEN PERIMETER & LONG *

This is a placeholder for all the 'C' group riders who only want to do part (50Km) of Steve's training epic, starting from the same place at the same time.

'B' group are assumed to want to do Steve's ride, but just not so fast - no separate post for them. They do get the option to bail at various points, but if you feel you can't ride 50Km at a good pace (in 4 hours elapsed) then perhaps this 'C' group is for you.

We'll head out along perimeter trail, out and back on long trail, then back along the perimeter trail. No wimping out and riding back on the road.

However it has been forever since I have ridden, so expect a fairly easy pace with lots of time to admire the scenery

This will be a medium to quick paced training ride with the dirtworks in mind so there will be minimal stops and plenty of mashing up the hills (for me anyway on the single speed) I believe it is about 60km so you will need to be able to do that sort of distance with relative ease.

Meet at Glenbrook station carpark with plenty of time in hand to get ready and organized to catch the train now at 6.53am to Wentworth Falls from there I will need a guide as last time couldnt find Andersons and spent the day looking for it (would of helped if I had remembered to bring the directions).

Craig & I are planning an afternoon blast around Duck Holes, Warimoo, Centre & Terrey Hills (Perimeter + Long) Thursday arvo.

The route is most likely going to be same as this:

http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/5067894

We will be aiming for virtually zero stops and total time out of less than 4 hours. Depending on how that goes we might even tag a visit to Duffys Trail on too.

It's a bit of an unconventional schedule (early thursday arvo - yay! ) but anyone looking for a long ride at decent pace is welcome to come along.

Al, who a few of us met at the Menai ride, wants some nob mobbers along on a ride he's doing with a few of his mates. Will be a medium pace around the XC course, or faster for those that want. Maybe even a DH hill run if there's a few takers (but leave the DH bike at home- primarily XC).

Due to weather I am going to stay off the Dam and head to Cascades for some hill training. Showers will probably persist through the day but I am going anyway.

Start point will be end of Ralston Ave (crn Elm).

Will certainly do a gate to gate run.

2 laps of the gate to gate basically which will extend ride out to about 2.5 hours if I am as fit as I think I am.

Changed time to AM as a space was cleared on the calendar.

Manly Dam fast 2 lap ride before church.
I know its good Friday and all but planning to get a ride in before family and other commitments.
