Mont 2010 training ride @ Terrey Hills/West Head
Terrey Hills shops / Fire brigade car park
It's another "Team Big Test Icicles" training ride for the Mont 2010.
Come along for a reasonably fast paced training ride starting with Centre track in reverse, moving on to Towlers Bay for some decents and climbs and scenery; and a bit of Salvation track on the way back.
This is open for all to join; we just want to test ride our new team emblem attached to our seats.... (in anodised red of course....)

Team Jiggly Bits Arvo Ride LCNP (driest it will get until it starts raining again)
Pennant Hills Park
We are a team of 4 who have got together through Nobmob and created a Mont 24 Team.
I have met Nate, but am yet to meet the others and want to do a meet and greet and a bit of a training ride. All who want to join us are more than welcome if this time slot suits you. Lights will probably not be necessary, but a good idea.
Should be pretty casual, but not too much stopping. Not sure how fit the others in my team are really.
Ourimbah training and exploring
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.
I've been doing too much road riding recently (which isn't saying much) so need to get the XC skills working.
Aiming to put in 3 or 4 training XC laps for training and fun, then potter off to explorer, perhaps up towards the tower and over the hill as I hear there are some trails over there. Then back down the DH track to the car and a beer. Ideally would like to be doing +50km.
If this sounds good to you (and why wouldn't it) bring lots of supplies and water, I don't think there are any taps there.
A Proper HTFU Training Ride
Glenbrook station carpark.
My semi regular Saturday morning training Ride - Oaks up plus detour and then back down.
This is a long and steady training ride it is not a smash fest but definately a hard ride it is non stop and not a social outing.
Starting at Glenbrook at 5.30am sharp I head up the Oaks then from Woodford I head further up the mountain for some sweet single track riding and then back to Woodford and down the Oaks. Its a good 4 and a bit hours in the saddle without a break if you cant ride for that amount of time without a stop then this ride is not for you.
Andersons / Oaks - Dirtworks training.
Meet at Glenbrook Train Station for the 8:23am train up to Wentworth Falls, or meet at Wentworth Falls for the train arrival at 9:11am.
This train leaves central at 7:18am for those not driving.
Dirtworks training. Pace will be as close to 20km/hr as possible, though xmas beers may hamper this slightly.
Weather should be fine, fingers crossed!
Ill be the one with the black Spark.

Howdy,
looking to do Ourimbah XC either this saturday or sunday, having never been before wouldnt mind someone to show me round....
anyone interested ?
Terry Hills loop via St Ives showground.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
A nice loop, mainly fire trail with a little single thrown in. About 30ks with a couple of steep ups and downs.
Terry Hills via St Ives showground.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Planning on starting at Terry Hills shops, Neverfail, Larool, gun club fire trail, showground, gun club single then Rylands to Sandy trail. Then a bit of a look to link up with Cullimine and then Perimeter, Long trails back to the shops.
Hornsby to Mt White with Pies
Old Pacific Hwy Hornsby outside the church/ across the road from Hornsby Locksmith
Training ride up to Mt White and the Interchange, then return, with a stop off at Pie in the Sky.
The idea is a training ride at a steady pace with a reasonable tempo.
Meet at Hornsby 10 minutes early for an 8 am start.
There is no real opportunity for water along the way, so bring sufficient to get you up there and back to Pie in the sky (approx 50k).
Terrey Hills Encore
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Encore to this mornings ride for lazy types
