The course
Menai
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
The lay-by opposite the entrance to ANSTO on the New Illawarra Road.
*PLEASE NOTE THE MEETING LOCATION IS DIFFERENT TO WHERE WE USUALLY MEET*.
Looking to ride for approximately 3 hours on mainly the XC trails around Menai.
As usual will be a moderate pace, with some fast flowing single, XC type technical sections and some tricky climbs. A reasonable to good level of fitness will be needed to complete the 3 hours as the riding at Menai is fairly hard, but there will be a couple of bail out options for those finding it hard going.

Last big dirtworks training
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Last big training ride before the dirtworks.
Simple plan: Ride up Devines Hill, then continue on GNR for 35ks then back same way but down Shepherds Gully and back on road. This should be about 80ks of excitment.
Note, this is training - No stops unless neccessary (mechanical and eating) and good pace which means around 18 - 20km/h on the flat sections and full blast on the down sections. Hence, a good training ride for anyone who aims at finishing dirtworks in 6hrs or less. I set the group limit to 4 as larger groups tends to be slow.
Manly Dam
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.
Social ride around manly dam on monday would be good if someone who is a local rider could join in.

Ourimbah fun ride on Saturday !
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.
Ourimbah ride on Saturday morning - 2 laps at normal pace.
I'll be there with my son Benji (12) and another MTB dad with his teenage son.
Pace will be normal (i.e. reasonably quick - they are no beginners)
Come and join us on those beautiful single tracks - the more the merrier. 
Cheers, Hans
