Ourimbah Lazy Dayz
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
As discussed... a lazy start and few fun hours at Ourimbah.
Return of the (mid week) Menai...
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Well, Menai sort of rhymes with Jedi!
Going for the usual mid week ride around Menai, won’t be venturing near the free ride areas and the more technical trails, these will be left for the daylight hours.
Pace will be reasonable, but plenty of stops to check we haven’t lost anyone, good night riding skills will be needed along with a good riding light.
I’ve said 8pm but if anyone wants to change, please feel free to PM me.
Look forward to seeing a few of you out there.
Cheers
An afternoons play at Menai
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
After last weekend’s hell like ride at the Doctor, I'm wanting to put some fun back into my riding.
Looking to spend some time on some of the technical trails, the smaller free ride area and some of the sweet single track. Pace will be fairly slow (legs still haven’t recovered from cramping up for six hours) and I’ll be stopping regularly to rerun sections and build up the nerve to tackle some of the trickier stuff.

Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
After not quite adequate training for the Scott in just over two weeks time , i should get to know the trail , and have a little fun around this great place . If you would like to join me , you are welcome to come along . My plan is to ride a couple of numbered laps , stop for a bite another lap and by then the need for lights will be needed for the last slowdown lap from the pavillion to the Observatory and down via the sensational Berm Track , although it may be called the a different name .
If i have any legs on the day i will have a go at The heartbreaker climb
