Tentative Planning (MTB)

If you have a pretty much definate plan for a ride then this is not the place for you. You should be creating a ride meeting entry instead, which will appear in the calendar, etc.

This forum is for talking over tentative plans, asking opinions on rides, etc.

West Head for Blondie

Riding up Heath yesterday, Blondie was telling me how much she loves those hills.

I was saying how the only real hill in these parts is the climb up Elvina so what's say we do a Duck Hole/Centre loop on Saturday morning but go up the road to Elvina on the way? We could even throw in Waratah if Blondie is feeling good.

I don't want to go too early or make too large an epic out of this as I have to go to a wedding later that day.

Anyone keen (aside from the obvious?) Eye-wink

Late notice - Night Ride tonight, Chiltern, Duck Holes, Terry Hill Track, Centre Track maybe Waratah and back up Chiltern.

Late notice on a ride i'd like to do tonight. I'm thinking an 8pm start. Meet at the top of Chiltern Track
on Chiltern Road. There is alot of uphill in this one and some good downhill sections too. I figure that we
start at Chiltern downhill to the botom of Duckholes. Up Duckholes then Terry Hills track, across to and
then down Centre Track then back up Chiltern to finish. This could take take about 1.5 hours. If anyone was
keen (or crazy enough), I'd throw in Waratah Track after Centre Track as well just to make a good night of it.

Any takers ?

Cheers

George.

Last day off?

Hey... so who's yet to return to work? My last day off is tomorrow so anyone fancy coming for a spin in the arvo? Yeah, yeah... so it might be a bit hot, but I don't mind. Mad dogs and Englishmen and all that! Eye-wink

I should be able to ride anywhere from midday onwards, if no more exciting suggestions come up maybe a Cascades/Wildflower/Sandy/Larool loop might happen. Or a few laps of the Dam?

Great Northern Road - couple of questions

G'day all,
I was out at the Great North Road around St albans last weekend having a picnic with the family, and have a couple of questions about riding it.
So if anyone can help out please let me know. I was planning on getting the wife to drop me at the top and thn meeting them at Wisemans Ferry.

- How far is it from the top (near Mogo Creek camp area) back down to the Ferry ?

- Coming back down which is the best route to take Devines Hill or Western Commisioners to get back to the ferry ?

Cheers,
Cookie

Team Toasted Sydney 24hr Trainig Ride

Calling team Toasted any ideas or interest in a team training ride before the big race.

I am doing plenty of solo training but it would be good if the team got together to maybe discuss the race and do some riding.

If you guys are intrested then where, when and for how long.

Next ride idea... Marramarra

Greetings!!

As we originally rode Marramarra over a year ago now, I think it's about time we got out there again. Any interest out there for another Marramarra expedition? I am sure there are lots of newer Nobs on the site that have never seen the place. It is tops.

Some previous details are here: http://nobmob.com/node/1592

Anyone interested? Smiling

Brisbane Waters National Park - anyone interested?

I missed the last (and only?) ride that took place at Brisbane Waters National Park. I understand this was a great ride, but I have only ever seen the pictures! Was anyone interested in riding through there again over Christmas? Rob, do you know the way around there?

Lockyers trail

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

After a fantastic day's riding at Lithgow Alex and I were keen for some more, I mean really how much is too much MTBing? Anyhow we went to Lockyers trail today, 4 of us rode down it and back up Berghoffer's Pass. Lockyers is a really good techy downhill trail that would bring a smile to anyone and Berghoffer's pass is a pleasant scenic ride back up. David and Jordon had to leave after this and Alex and myself decided there was time to do Lawsons Long Alley which is also great, starts fast and downhill then rocky and downhill and finishes with flowing single track.
