Hard Hill Training

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 22 March, 2009 - 07:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Cascades
Meeting Point: 

End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.

-33.724071, 151.210407 (Wyatt Ave, Belrose)

I'm doing my std hill training session but twice to cover about 50k. By doing all tracks up and down one lap becomes about 25ks. On a few occasions I've set out to do two laps but I always find an excuse to cut it short. Perhaps with some company and suitable peer pressure the full 50ks of pain can be endured.

Note, this is a reasonably hard ride and the 50ks should be covered in about 3 hours.

I set the limit to 4 but that can be extended in the unlikely event that there are enough characters out there who are intrested.

3 full laps of Cascades with all gates.

This is my cross-country training ride ( have not done Cascades for nearly 6 months now). I am in for some serious lung busting punishments.

If it rains any day from now until Saturday, i won't be there, as Cascades does not usually dry out quickly.

-33.769197, 150.622262 (Glenbrook Station Carpark)

Ok, hoping some of you will actually keep me company on this but if i end up going alone I will probaby catch the train back down - think that ride in the dark solo could be a bit creepy... Smiling
Not a super fast ride as I will be there - if you do come please make sure you bring a beer for after the ride in the carpark - and also maybe some snacks, we were starving last time!

MEEE Smiling

Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.

-34.037591,151.006672 (Old Illawarra Rd)

Being a member of a single car family it looks like I'm going to have to ride locally again next weekend, as the boss has plans to use the car Saturday and Sunday. (It is her car, so can't complain too much)

Planning on tackling my usual trails, a mix of some fire trail, tricky climbs, fast flowing single tracks and some of the easier less technical free ride runs, but not looking to venture on the really technical free ride areas.

Pace will be easy to moderate and there will be regular stops to ensure we keep together.

This won't be for the faint-hearted, the first 50km is all climbing so expect no less than 5 blown lungs

Would prefer a small group but anyone not afraid of some serious hard work are more than welcome.

Hope to see you there.

Sean's Belated Birthday Dirtworks Training Ride

Ride Database Entry: 
Womerah Range
Meeting Point: 

West Wisemans Ferry. Turn left bottom of the hill. There's a small parking area I hope we can all fit in!

-33.38783418017986,150.9824883142917 (West Wisemans Ferry)

Just what it says on the related forum topic. Wanted follw Rob's ride from this time last year and look at the last section (this makes up roughly Km 72-92) of the 100Km Dirtworks course. The plan is to meet at the West ferry (turn left, not right bottom of the hill), leave cars there then cross on the ferry riding the 5Km or so to bottom of the climb so as to be warm for that. Then ride the Womerah Range trail, turn round and ride back.
