Group Training
early winmalee fun
End of White Cross Rd, Winmalee, NSW. There's a small parking area here but it's a standard suburban street so overflow isn't a problem.
Just heading out early for a medium to fast paced training ride. Feel free to come along.
Mont Warm up - Canberra weekend explorer 28/2 - 1/3
Coming from Sydney, drive into Queenbeyan, turn left at the roundabout where Red Rooster is and stay on this road for about 11km. Park on the side of the road where the gate is. For better directions try this link CORC: Events: Race Venues.
Lets get down to Canberra for a weekend of exploration and training.
Having not been to Sparrow Hill I'd like to get down for an exploratory ride prior to the Mont and of course log a number of kays training.
Sparrow Hill Saturday
Majura or Stromlo or other Sunday
I'd expect it to be a fairly long days but with breaks here and there for food and water refils. Primarily this is a training ride but I would expect a fair amount of social activity as well.
Duck + Waratah + Centre shake down ride
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
I can't make the Wednesday ride and I have just fitted a new bottom bracket & crank that needs testing before the Wisemans Ferry fun on Sunday. I have posted this as a training ride as I intend to do this with minimal stops. I suggest you will need lights for this in case we get held up on the trail.

Northern Beaches Hill Fest (Dirtworks training!)
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.
Plan is to the Northern Beaches Hill Fest and add Perimeter, Long Tracks and possibly Oxford Falls.

This will be a semi-serious training ride, planning to pack-in around 70km plus hills.
I haven't actually rode on a lot of the trails so if anyone has and would like to play Tour Guide Barbie that'd be awesome.
Would prefer a small group but anyone not afraid of some serious hard work are more than welcome.
See you in the morning

Rebels at Ourimbah
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.
Rebel riders break from Marramarra on Saturday morning!
Not wanting to try the rough and tumble of Marramarra (or that nasty hill!) this small band of ill equipped and poorly trained riders will converge at Ourimbah. The odds are against them, but undaunted an assault on the usual sniggle loop will be made. Again and again into the breach, until their legs give way or... erm... it's time to go home.
Small fast group, 40 minute laps, brief detour up Demtel maybe... yada, yada.
Are you the droids the we seek?
Terrey Hills Wednesday
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Greetings all,
I will be doing a fast ride of the Terrey Hills area this evening commencing at 6:30. The speed will be at training pace, with minimal stops along the way. Not sure yet which trails I will do, but something that takes about 2 hours. Maybe Duckholes/Centre + Perimeter and back.
I will park in the RFS carpark at Terrey Hills shops. I drive a blue Mazda.
Friday's Awesome Ride Training
Cnr of Higgs Place and Railway parade Hazelbrook. It is the railway station car park.
The usual fantastic riding in this area at night, and will be great training for the upcoming 24 hour, the pace will be training.
West Head Hill Fest
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
As discussed before, I can't go for an epic or anything too early on Sat so propose a few hills for some fun...
Meet at Terrey Hills shops then ride Centre (yes, backwards), Waratah, Towlers Bay, Elvina, up (yes, backwards) Duck Hole and back to shops.
I can't be bothered to work it out, but should be under 40 clicks and take 3 hours or so. These are some nice hills (esp. Towlers and Elvina) so be prepared. Sadly there is some black stuff to join them up... but... meh!
after "work" Ourimbah ride
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'm in Newcastle early for work!!! and on the way home will stop at one of our favourite XC loop!!

Well the calendar is pretty packed so I thought I'd get this one in early.
Ourimbah is always fun so I was thinking we could do 3-4 laps at a semi-training pace.
I'm never too serious about my training so there will be stops but we'll try to keep them less frequent than the social rides.
It maybe a good warm up for the ones doing the Sydney 24hr
