Binned due to bad weather - it's not looking like the balmy night I'd hoped. Reports are that there has been constant drizzle/rain so imagine even if DH/C are good, Perimeter will be a soggy mess. No-one seems that keen so ride cancelled. Sorry if this catches you unaware.

Oooh look...

The Mont is on in couple of weeks.
I haven't riden on dirt since that crash at Appin in January.
Have just got back from couple week holiday.
Haven't used lights on the bike since... must be the Scott?

A nice Sunday morning lap of Narrabeen Lake with a bit of Red Hill thrown in. The Red Hill section of this ride while not " D/H " is a bit on the technical side of things, a few steep rock sections and a few step ups/ downs. The rest is mostly dirt path with a bit of bitumen, about 50/50. Oh and the Red Hill section is a bit on the technical side Smiling

I am not sure if the trails will be dry enough. Has anyone been there lately?

Would like to do the same loop as last week but starting on the other side. Start through the small NS stuff, go until the top of the downhill and back.

I am sure that if by myself i will get lost and will use the GPS to come back though Smiling

Red Hill

Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.

I'm looking to do a repeat of the Red Hill ride we did last Saturday. We'll attempt to cover all of the main trails up there as well as anything else of interest, the main ride will be basically this :

Main trail -> single track -> rim ride -> down to the sports centre -> back up the sand pit -> across the top -> downhill track -> along the parkway -> back up the 4wd track to the top -> main trail back to the start.

All of this is entirely rideable and the downhill track has A,B,C,D lines so, yes you CAN ride it on almost anything.
