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.

Manly Dam - Cancelled
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I want to get out on my bike at night again so I am off to one of my favourites for a night ride Manly so any one else up for a fun ride around the dam at night.
This is the one for you if you are short on time and have to start a little later and aren’t fused about hanging around at the pub afterwards. So starting a little later than the usual I should be ready to go at 8.00pm for a moderately paced fun social lap I like to keep it simple on Wednesday nights so the normal loop is the go but I can be flexible and if others want to take some detours then I will follow no problem.
The Oaks Up & Back Plus Extras
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook station carpark.
This is my semi regular early Saturday morning blue mountains ride.
This ride is the Oaks up and back but with a couple differences.
Red Hill - Super happy fun day v2.0b
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
I'm planning to ride a big loop that covers pretty much everything up there. Starting from the usual meeting point, head over to the down hill track, back up the 4wd track to the top, rim ride, drop zone and whatever else we find whilst there.
This will be a fairly easy paced ride, but probably not suitable for those not comfortable with the rough stuff. Leave the lycra at home and bring the big bike.
AMBC/NoBMoB Skills Day
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.
So... let's try this again!
AMBC NoBMoB only skills day at Ourimbah.

Recently requested Menai ride

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
A few people recently have expressed interest in riding at Menai, so here it is.
