This ride is not for the faint hearted or beginner as we'll be tackling some pretty tricky terrain.

Pace will be slow going up and on the flat, but pretty quick on the way down!

Most of the regular riders will be wearing armour, as we usually come off at least once or twice, so it is advisable. Other than that, your bike, a good light and your ability to dodge spiders, is all you need for this fun packed ride.

Hope to see you there.

PS: Don't forget a beer for afters.

With all the hot weather we've been getting, it's time to start getting out a little earlier!

This ride will be at social pace, with time to regroup, take photos of the views, catch your breath, re-do sections if you wish. Distance is about 15km, with some elevation change and a small amount of road riding in the middle. Great views from parts of Centre Track, as advised by Rob.

I haven't ridden Centre Track myself yet, so we can explore together. Come and join us for the best part of the day. Eye-wink

Well I am back at work Sad but intend on stopping at the Dam on the way home. My intention is to do 2 laps before last light so no lights will be required. This does mean laps need to be around 45 minutes.
