Mountain (off road)
WWS #1 Lithgow
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.
Hopefully entries will be up ASAP
Menai - Early Explore
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.
This will be a quickish exploration ride I am trying to figure out these trails and the best way to do that is to ride them reguarly.
Route wise it will probably be all over the place at a medium to quickish pace you should expect to ride some small to medium drops and roll offs on the route there are also plenty of tricky little rocky climbs and decents all over the place a bit of rough fire trail thrown in and some nice flowing single track.
This will be a quick ride no longer than an hour and a half basically I am just going to have an explore to see what I can find.
Menai - Mid Week Night Ride

A Dam Fine Saturday Afternoon.
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 reckon it'll be just lovely to pedal around Manly Dam after I've been at work supplying the good people of the western suburbs with their bicycle needs, and I've not been here in ages. It's late so we beat the heat, yet still daylight. This is no night ride.
It'll be just two laps of the regular course then everyone can go home and be available for their preferred Saturday night activities.
Everyone's welcome. Newbies, oldies, fast, slow, girls, guys. Everyone.
after "work" Ourimbah ride
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.
I'm in Newcastle early for work!!! and on the way home will stop at one of our favourite XC loop!!

Well the calendar is pretty packed so I thought I'd get this one in early.
Ourimbah is always fun so I was thinking we could do 3-4 laps at a semi-training pace.
I'm never too serious about my training so there will be stops but we'll try to keep them less frequent than the social rides.
It maybe a good warm up for the ones doing the Sydney 24hr

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST PART CLOSELY; The meeting point is not the playing field. It is on Illawarra Road opposite the nuclear reactor. Park on the road shoulder. It may seem an odd time and day yet I work the weekend so it's the best I can do. Plus, I rather like late arvo rides.
