Planning a ride for newbies and lurkers and those with new bikes that are yet to hit the trails in anger (c'mon you should have removed the training wheels by now!). Chance to meet up with other riders and members of NOBMOB. Guys, Girls, partners, young, old are all welcome.

This ride will be hosted by Craig (craigs) and Gary (GAZZA) and be at a leisurely pace with plenty of stops for breath, water and discussion. I'd expect a few regulars to come along as well, you know who you are Smiling

So another roll around Menai is in order? Oh yeah!! Menai is one of Sydney's better tracks for water drainage, so I am sure we will enjoy this one. Plus we may have some more experienced hands for finding our way around.

Park in the normal spot on Old Illawarra Road. For the hard heads amongst us, my advice is to avoid a slab of beer the night before. Sticking out tongue

Menai here we come! Laughing out loud

Have been there only once but from what I remember: beautiful forest, single track, nice climbs, technical stuff, north shore playground for anybody who dares (I'll only be brave enough to hold the camera), fire trail, rock gardens, gullies.... would anybody be interested in some of this???

Would be great to do a nice longish ride. Maybe not super slow but with time to play if we want to. (Will take my leg guards this time!) Smiling

Make sure to bring mosquito repellent too.

Mountains, here we come!

Re-enactment of the great Pinch Ride of 2004 (gallery). No GPS from that, but the route is a little bit like this found on MB here for future reference on Garmin Connect:

https://

Minus the leg from Thredbo (we'll start Cascade Trail head) and the bit this dude got lost in the middle - so maybe this will end up around 55Km all up.

Apparantly the last decent is a real workout for the brakes, be sure to have your bike in tip-top condition!

Will be driving down to the Snowies on this day, makes sense to stop at a Can'bra track on the way? I've never done Sparrow Hill so will go take a look.

Anyone in the vicinity (especially that actually knows where they are going Eye-wink) please come along! Laughing out loud

That said, if there's no tour guide available, will probably put this circuit in the Edge and follow it:

Here's the ride to go with the Xmas BBQ.

Note the 9:30 start time.

I figure this is early enough for people to come and go home to clean/change and return for BBQ if they are close enough.

It's also not too early so those who want to hang around at the dam all day and do more laps and show up at the BBQ stinking can (you know who you are!) Laughing out loud

See you there!

OK this is a CTMBC ride but open to everyone (you'll need to sign the disclaimer but there are no entry fees). It is part of the Celebrations of the 175 anniversary of the opening of Victoria Pass.

There will be plenty of things to do and see besides the ride, including Historical re-enactments at both Mt Victoria and Heartly Historic village so use it as an excuse to bring to family/better half up to the mountains for a bit of culture (the duck off for a ride while they are not looking).

Wingello Fling Reccy - 9AM!

Ride Database Entry: 
Wingello State Forest
Meeting Point: 

4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.

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

Given there's a ride in Canberra the day (& night?) before it would be rude not to stop at Wingello on way back, don't you think?

Especially given the Fling will be hosted here the following month.

11am meet sets a 9am departure from Canberra, or... and I'll just put this one out there... there's an option of camping at Wingello and moving that 11am to much earlier. OK, or... we could drive up to Bundanoon the night before also - maybe even better idea.

Hey you!

You look like you need a practice ride around Majura Pines before completing The Mont 24hr. Smiling So here you go...

This will be especially useful for those that have never been to Majura before. This will let you get used to the feel of the place. And with good reason too... Majura is totally awesome!! Laughing out loud It will take some serious discipline on race day to not stop on your lap and do the jumps and roll offs.

Brisbane Water NP

When: 
Saturday, 22 September, 2007 - 08:30

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

Meeting Point: 

Woy Woy Road, Brisbane Water National Park. Tunnel Track trail head.

Note the move to 8:30am.

Time for a bit of exploration. Brisbane Water National Park has loads of fire trail at least marked on the map. Time to take a look-see.

Tunnel Track seems to start about half way into the park so is probably as good a place as any to meet.

Will try and figure out a decent route, but as usual for an exploration there'll be a lot of playing things by ear.

As this is an exploration don't come if being lost worries you and allow food/water/time for at least 50Km of riding over several hours.
