Meeting Point: 

Glenbrook station carpark.

Show on Google maps: Meeting point. Login or register to get directions.

The work colleagues have got their act together and will finally make an appearance!

This will be casual paced and suitable for less experienced or less fit riders who are wanting to "do the oaks". All are welcome of course. We will pace it by the group consensus and regroup as necessary.
It's approx 30Km of mostly fire trail with an excellent single trail at the end and of course a very very testing hill riding out back to the car park.

We catch the train from Glenbrook (8:23) up to Woodford (8:54)and ride back to the carpark. Train ticket is required so bring a few $$$.

There will be no stopping for social niceties at all.

The pace will be moderate to fast with the ride timed to end up back at Glenbrook within 3 hours (9.00am) to meet the other ride.

Then heading off to ride with everyone else on the 24hr meeting/ride.

Right,

For those taking part (riding or support) in the solo 24hr champs in april we are planning on getting together for a chat and a bit of a ride.
The plan is to meet at Glenbrook shops head off for a ride then back to the shops for food and to sit down and have a chat about what is required to undertake a 24hr solo.

V will be in charge of gluten free cake.... Mmmm I like cake.

Anyway see everyone there on Sunday

Time for a change?

When:

Meeting Point: 

Terry Hills Tavern (Please park on the street)

Show on Google maps: Meeting point. Login or register to get directions.

OK, Time for a varied route.

We start at the Tavern heading to the showground, duck into sandy then into Pauls epiphany trail that runs low coming out behind the showground. Cut through the showground then traverse on the single track back to the Sandy trail head.
Go down on Sandy then we do Neverfail then Larool then road it back to the Tavern for a cleansing Ale!

2.5 hours is my guess with a steady pace.

Not for the beginner or unfit. (Im going as I'm the host)

A good training ride but at a social pace

This will be a semi-serious training ride, planning to pack-in around 70km plus hills.

Would prefer a small group but anyone not afraid of some serious hard work are more than welcome.

See you in the morning

I know what most of you are thinking but I decided the other day that there must be people out there who haven’t ridden Red Hill because of it’s reputation...You can do a short cross country style loop – out to picnic rock and back the single track which is pretty...
Anyway, at least if I am wrong and no one turns up at least I can go and do the usual rim ride!

*** CANCELLED ***

This event has been cancelled as they couldn't get the defence force to allow race access to their land. Better luck next year! Sad

Entries open 20 February 2009.

This takes in all the Canberra tracks so it should be awesome!

In keeping with the AROC Sport reputation (think the awesome Angry Doctor course) there will be a huge amount of fantastic single track, well marked and groomed and making for a super fun and thrilling ride.

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.

This is a social ride around what I believe to be some of the best trails in Sydney. There’ll be allot of fast flowing single track, technical descents, some tricky climbs and unfortunately some boring fire trail (but not much I promise).

The pace will be easy to medium, and there will be regular stops to make sure everyone’s together. As mentioned there are some technical descents that novices may find a bit tough, but there’s usually a ride around or there’s always the walking option.
