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

Thinking of doing 3 or 4 laps, ( last time I was good for about 50min laps ). I figure that the pace will be inversely proportional to the number of Friday afternoon carbo loading beers..
leaving about 630 from Cromer, room in the truck for a couple more.
McPhail's and Meryla Pass
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Kangaroo Valley
As per the ride posted by Herzog on 29.11.09 but probably doing Meryla Pass first to get the climbing out of the way and then the wonderful McPhail's downhill run. We have 3 riders (average age 40 plus !!) confirmed to leave Middle Cove at 6.32 am (traditional time for unknown reasons!).
Currently planning to take only 1 car but might take 2 if we have more takers. idea is to arrive down in Kangaroo Valley around 8.30-8.45 am. Now taking 2 cars as we have 4 so another 1 or 2 welcome !

Want to do a couple of laps on the relatively new bike, only been once before so if someone know's it well feel free to come along but I doubt we'll get lost!

My 1st time at Ourimbah - looking at doing 2 or 3 loops. Probably not the downhill - however open at this stage. Want to start at around 6:30am, however have posted 7am to give me time to get up there.

Well, it's sold out already, but for some reason not in the calendar.

Getting the legs going for Mont24 and Dirtworks. Prefer to be a reasonable pace (15-20)km/hr but the main thing is to get out and breathe some fresh air and work some xmas carbs (beer) off so anyone welcome
