Another ride Sunday 20 July 08

Hey all. If there is anyone else that wants to ride with another person or two this Sunday 20 July i am planning a smaller, faster alternative to the social Terry Hills ride. Somewhere around northern Sydney - Cascades, Manly Dam, Dural or Ourimbah maybe. I ride an entry level hardtail but at a decent pace and for a couple hours at least. Post back if you're interested or get my mobile phone no. from my profile. Have a good weekend! P.s. There is a very small chance i will have to cancel if i can't get a rim tuned by Sun, which is another reason i was keeping this informal.

Quick Spin Sat?

Hmmmm... I was going to take a leisurely ride with the GF this morning, but she's not feeling so good and doesn't feel up for it.

Sooooo... am free for a spin later in the day. Will go do one of the usual XC loops (Cascades, Terrey Hills, etc) on my own, unless there's any takers for a bit of company, in which case open to suggestion. Am thinking midday-ish start for 2-3 hours.

Cheers! Smiling

Brilliant and technical XC course built by the kind folk at WMBC - one of the finest around Sydney. Looks to be plenty of firetrail in the area too, but with sniggle this good, why would you waste your time there?
