Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
As I missed riding last weekend I need to get a decent distance in before DW. So I'm planning on doing around 50km to fire the legs up and feel a bit better for next Sunday (althougn I'm doing the 100km so will have to wing the 2nd half!).
Plan is to do Centre/Duckholes or whatever and then a few trails accessed off the road into Ku-ring-ai. Then maybe Perimeter/Long depending on how I feel.
Pace will not be quick but I don't plan on larking about
Open to all and somebody with a bit more familiarity of the trails would be most welcome.
