It's On
Delicious Flavours
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Join me on one of my rare Saturdays off for a jaunt around the Menai trails. We'll ride a loop that is favoured by my good self and is certainly within the scope of most riders.
This is a relaxed paced ride and there will be ample time to practice tricky sections, repeat fun bits and, of course, gas bag.
Even though this as an xc type ride, the wearing of armour is encouraged. Other clothing styles are left up to the individual.

A rest from training Ride @ Menai
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
After weeks of long training rides I think I deserve a weekend off.
Have no plans as for where to go, just planning on putting the pads on, riding around and having fun.
If you haven't ridden Menai before, be warned it can be tricky in places and a novice rider would probably not enjoy this ride. Having said that you can walk sections if you wish and there's no need to worry about the pace. Like I said this is a rest from training for me so it's going to be slow.
Hope to see you there

Appin - Cheeky couple of laps
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.
Anyone care to join me for a few laps of Appin, I'll be there. Happy to ride on my jack jones but always good to have company. It'll be a social ride but at a reasonable pace with a break between laps.
I'm coming from the Inner West so 8.30am is really the earliest I care for on a Saturday.
Cheers
Dave
Freedom MTB Marathon

From the website:
This is a fun and challenging event open to anyone with a mountain bike. But you better do some training! Beginners, novices, veterans and elite riders are all invited to come out and enjoy a great day of riding/racing.
The Whian Whian State conservation area forest is surrounded by the Nightcap national park. Both are beautiful warm temperate and subtropical rainforests with amazing views from the top of water falls (Minyon Falls, Quondong falls, Protesters Falls) high up in the Byron bay hinterland.
