You are here
Mountain (off road)
Terry Hills - West Head: There and Back again II
2nd Last weekend before the Angry Doctor, bail-out points along the way if required.
You know you need to.
Saturday Morning Training
Glenbrook Station Carpark
This is a hard and fast training ride starting at 6.00am sharp for a quick up and down the Oaks before the day starts. There will be no stopping or waiting at all apart from toilet breaks if needed. The pace will be moderate to fast with an estimated overall time from the carpark at Glenbrook to the top gate at Woodford and back to the carpark of 3 hours.
The route will be the standard Oaks up and back with the fun sniggle at the end there are no detours or side trips of the main trail planned for this ride.
Bigger Hill Fest
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
After the success of the shortened hill fest yesterday, and with 2 weeks to the doctor, bring on the stupidity!
This is billed as a training ride so there will be minimal stops. Please do not show up unless you can do this distance, or at least ride fast until one of the bail out points. If that's your plan be prepared to gracefully bow out somewhere along the route if you are struggling.
So, the route will be the following hilly goodness:
NIGHT RIDE: The (NEW) Manly Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
By popular request: Thursday NIGHT RIDE: THE (NEW) MANLY DAM
Check out the new (faster?) Dam...at night.
Social Pace - everyone welcome (...as long as you have good lights...and you have ridden there before...plus there will be ride leaders guiding through the new bits).
Come along and GET FIT FOR SPRING: 1 lap for the social set, 2 or more for faster riders...
We'll form 2 groups on Thursday night:
a) Team 'ROID
Social Night Ride Terrey Hills [Perimeter + Long Trail]
Terry Hills Tavern, eastern carpark, Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084
TUESDAY Night ride - Perimeter & Long trail (Everyone welcome)
Ride follewed by some recovery ale at the Tavern afterwards.
Terry Hills BMX Track for dirt jumps!
Meet at Terry Hills BMX Track. Its at Melbourne Memorial Reserve on Aumuna Rd just off Mona Vale Road.
Well i've got zero dirt jumping experience and have been wanting to try it for a lot time, so have decided to give it a go. Terry Hills BMX Track is well maintained, smooth, safe and flowing and i think is a great place to build up some skills and confidence. You can also roll everything and just pedal/pump the track which would in itself be good fun/practice.
If you would like to join me see you there at 10am this Saturday. I will be on my white & black NS street bike (in my sig)
Cheers,
Yarramundi Trainning Ride for Angry Dr
Maybe put two groups together. I am keen to do some training, but I don't think that i am that fit. I have also got some slower guys coming possibly.
Works well though because it is a loop and you can do and go where ever you want and at the speed you want.
I want the morning to be rather relaxed and all who are keen are welcome to come along and have some fun.
A Few Laps of the Dam
Just planning a few social laps of the dam. Nothing serious. Anyone is welcome to come along.
Cascades night ride
Meeting at the power stationy thing, Ralston Ave
Yes I know it's late notice, but if anyone fancies a quick ride tonight I'll be there. Not planning on going mental, but will try to keep a constant ride. Cascades, up the steep Quarry climb, past the pump station and back down the water bars.
Cascades Training Ride :P
Meet at the end of Wyatt Ave in Belrose.
Riding the 4 gates 3 times.
Down heath, up quarry, down, up to acron, down, up to davidson, down, up heath. Repeat 2 more times.
This will be a training ride with alot of hills.
So riding will be continuous with minimal breaks.
Bring lots of water and food. At over 50km and 1600m of elevation, it will be a tough ride.
There may be the option to pull out after 2 laps depending on legs. I for one know I may not make the distance....
