Yellomundee MTB Grand Prix 2009
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
This is the 4 hour GP on same day and place as the WSMTB 12 hour.
Ie - it's the soft option for those of us who don't like the mid-winter chilly mornings or riding for too long 
More details:
Andos and Oaks
Glenbrook station carpark.
OK, after talking about it for ages, I'm not going to go all the way and all the way back again. I'll do one way this time and perhaps do the double next week.
Meeting at Glenbrook carpark at 10:00 to take the 10:23 train up to Wentworth falls. From there we ride along the road the do Andersons, then onto The Oaks to the end. Simple. If you are going to be late please ring my mobile (check my profile for the number).
Mid week ride @ Menai
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Last weeks ride was cancelled at last minute due to the heavy rain, so keen to get out this Wednesday.
Plan on riding for an hour and a half on the easier trails and I won’t be venturing near the free ride areas, DH, etc. However, it can still be tricky in sections though, but that adds to the fun.
Pace and where we ride will be determined by who turns up, but one things certain, reasonable night riding skills will be needed.
Red Hill - Casual loop
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
This will be the standard Red Hill loop that we normally do; starting from the usual meeting point, head over to the down hill track, back up the 4wd track to the top, rim ride, drop zone and whatever else we find whilst there.
This will be an easy paced, social type ride so don't worry about being slow or having to walk sections.
El Rancho Relaxo Training ride at Stromlo
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
This ride is for the resurrected team El Rancho Relaxo to meet and greet the wonderful trails of Stromlo before the Scott 24 in October but a few more are welcome also . There are six newly marked trails here so not sure of the endurance required to do all six , and in fact if we are able to complete them all, but the plan would be to make the most of the day and have a good look around here without the crowds that will arrive in October .
Another option would be to break up the day and head out to Sparrow Hill after a good feed somewhere along the way

X-Fusion NSW XC #4
From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.
