4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
Route description
The three loops pass through the Big Top event centre located at the Wingello Forest Trailhead. The loops will be completed in the order below:

Yellowmundee pre-race ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
In preparation for the 12 hour next weekend, I'm going out to yellowmundee to do a few laps to get re-familiarised with the circuit.
The general idea is to do a couple of laps at at a steady pace (like 70% of race pace), perhaps pause and look at lines and re-do a few corners / techie bits and get the general feel. It might involve a few spurts upping the pace now and again as we get into the flow, but generally steady.
Woodfood to Glenbrook
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook Station Carpark for the 0824 choo choo to woodford
This is just a fun ride, good chance for people who have not done it before to join in.
Mid week ride @ Menai
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Plan on riding for an hour and a half (seems to turn in to two hours) on the easier trails and I won’t be venturing near the free ride areas, DH, etc. However, it can still be tricky in sections, and some of the climbs and rock gardens can catch you out if you're not careful, but that adds to the fun.
Pace and where we ride will be determined by who turns up, but one things certain, reasonable night riding skills will be needed.
Hope to see a few of you there.

Winter fun @ Ourimbah
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.
Time to catch up with our friends from the central coast.
Hopefully the winter sun will be shining and a great day out can be had by all. As it's winter no point showing up too early. Remember to bring some snacks for lunch 
Personally I'll be hitting the XC course for a few laps, but don't let that stop those of the DH persuasion coming to say hello and shuttle a few.
See you there!
Anti-social Night Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
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... let's do this tomorrow (sorry, but can't make tonight now).
Plan is to ride the usual Duck Hole, Centre, Perimeter, Long route.
Won't be going crazy but don't intend on stopping as it will probably be a bit chilly. Should take somewhere between 2h15 and 2h30.
Tuesday Afternoon Training ride at Stromlo

This ride is for the lost or lonely to meet and greet the wonderful trails of Stromlo before the Scott 24 in October and all are welcome to join me , the lonely.....ha ha . There are six newly marked trails here so not sure of which ones i will do, but the plan would be to make the most of the afternoon and have a good look around here without the crowds that will arrive in October .
There is more than 24 hours notice given that its 3.10 now so make an effort , just a casual drive down the Hume Hwy and plenty of fun to be had here

OK, after talking about it for ages, I'm not going to go all the way and all the way back again. I'll do one way this time and perhaps do the double next week.
