Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
Ourimba fun
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Two or three laps, nothing too serious but not pedestrian either
DW Training @ TH
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
I usually do a road ride but need time in the saddle off road. Thinking Duck, Waratah, Elvina then Centre. I haven't done Elvina so not sure what this one is like.
Appin fun
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.
This is posted as a social ride, i'm happy to stop to practice/play on the technical sections. I don't mind what pace we ride at.
wisemans ferry training ride
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.
Yikes - only 3 weeks to dirtworks! My last big ride was dirtworks 2009....
I saw there is a training ride on sat but I can't make it sat. I hope there are a few like minded who'll be up for a sunday flogging.
I want to do between 70 and 80ks. Minimal stops and a pace equivalent of doing the race in 6 hours. Std route. Up past claires bridge and then back same way. Down shephers gully (for the sheer fun of it) and road race back to the ferry for a well deserved protein bar.
Any takers?
Cheers,
Staffan
Manly Dam 3 Laps
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.
No that it will be dark and I need to get more riding in for the DW100 that is approaching fast. My intention is doing 3 laps so lights definitely required.
GNR training ride
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.
I'd like to ride Wiseman's GNR but not overly keen on doing it solo for safety reasons.
I'm looking to do about 60 - 80 km, or 4 - 6 hours. Minimal stops along the way apart from nutrition break at half way point.
Meet at the ferry, up Devine's Hill, out past Clare's bridge for x km or hours, and then return via Shepherds gully.
This is a training and familiarisation ride for the upcoming DirtWorks. I'd like to push myself quite hard and work on managing hydration/energy levels. Pace I'm aiming for is something like 60km in about 4 1/2 hrs.
Dumbest Ourimbah Ride Ever!
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Plan is to do 1 lap of the XC Course then ride up Red Hill Rd to the top (around 16 km) and return, followed by another lap of the XC course. Should be around 55ish km in preparation for the Dirtworks so we'll attempt to minimise stops, but the pace won't be too hectic.
Plans Changed - Oaks Up Plus Extra Km's Then Back
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook station carpark.
A nice early morning ride in the mountains this will be a medium paced training style ride with minimal stops.
The ride is the standard Oaks up and back with an extra detour further up the mountains to stretch the total ride out to about 70km or so.
Estimated time in the saddle is 4.5 hours.
AMBC Trailbreakers - Intermediate XC Clinic
