Parramtta Lake and exit at Carlingford
In the carpark just below the Cafe. I'll be the one on the White Giant
Came through here for the first time on my way to work this morning. Going back the same way and was planning on doing some exploring around the area before exiting at Carlingford
Late afternoon at the Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
For those not working, or that can slink off early a few late afternoon laps of the dam might be in order.
Only plan on staying a couple hours so lights will not be required.
This will be socially paced so come on over! 
Menai Night ride

The course
Lake Parramatta XC Loop (and Carlingford Link) Tour
Meet at Lake Parramatta Car Park: PARRAMATTA. Turn from Church St, into Burke St, into Illawong Dr.
I'll be on a small shiny 08 Trance.
The ride will not follow the technical walking track around the actual lake. That walking track is busy on weekends with walkers of all ages, and has cliffs. The ride will go from the Car Park to the popular XC loop. It will also include showing where the loop connects with the cycleway that leads to Jenkins Road Carlingford. You can easily ride from Lake Parramatta to Lane Cove National Park (done it). That could be another day.
riding now somewhere in Sydney
somewhere in sydney
I have enough!! I need a ride. I am about to go somewhere for a ride, I leave in 30minutes or so from the city, i am easy on where to go. If someone wants to come give me call, number in my profile.
Red Hill Sat Arvo
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
There was some discussion on where to go on Red Hill ( http://nobmob.com/node/11267)
I have been there a few times and know some bits, but there is always the oportunity to know more, that is a nice way to say i get lost and discover new tracks from time to time, more often than i would like to admit
Lake Parramata (almost) Mid week
car park at Parramata Lake
The day is fixed, the time may be later if it is too hot or I get late in some stuff i need to do before getting on the bike. It is a technical single track around the lake, and some more where i have not been but i was told about.
Newby friendly Perimeter + Long (Terry Hills)
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
This is a reprise of the ride held last weekend that I couldn't make. It will be a straightforward non-technical ride, and suitable for those wishing to introduce a friend to the sport.
The ride will be slow and social. I haven't ridden this trail previously, so we can go exploring together. The length of the out-and-back is about 22km, so probably not suitable for really young children.
Weather Plan:
If it turns out to be unbearably hot we will postpone to a 5pm start so as not to stress the junior riders.
If steady or heavy rain or slushy conditions we will defer one week
