social, beginners, cross country red hill ride!!!!

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 - 08:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Red Hill
Meeting Point: 

Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.

-33.744534, 151.255780 (Red Hill Carpark)

I know what most of you are thinking but I decided the other day that there must be people out there who haven’t ridden Red Hill because of it’s reputation...You can do a short cross country style loop – out to picnic rock and back the single track which is pretty...
Anyway, at least if I am wrong and no one turns up at least I can go and do the usual rim ride!

Menai morning fun

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 22 February, 2009 - 07:30
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)

This is a social ride around what I believe to be some of the best trails in Sydney. There’ll be allot of fast flowing single track, technical descents, some tricky climbs and unfortunately some boring fire trail (but not much I promise).

The pace will be easy to medium, and there will be regular stops to make sure everyone’s together. As mentioned there are some technical descents that novices may find a bit tough, but there’s usually a ride around or there’s always the walking option.

Meeting Point:

This is the 'dinner only' option! If you want to ride DH/Centre first (twice even) then see Bernd's ride here:

http://nobmob.com/node/8176

SO!! Both George (Gazza) and Damien are 40 within days of each other which means Nobmob gets to celebrate WITH them!!

The plan at the moment is for dinner/drinks at the Tavern on the Wednesday night after 8pm - the problem is, neither of them can decide whether there will be a ride before hand or not...

Mid week Menai - Night Ride

When: 
Wednesday, 18 February, 2009 - 20:00
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)

Going to tackle some of Menai's less technical trails for an hour and a half to two hours. I say less technical but beginners may find it a bit tricky as nearly every trail in Menia has either a small drop, jump, rock garden or tricky climb.

The pace will be fairly easy, as most night rides are, and we'll wait for anyone who may fall behind. So there's no chance of individually getting lost.

A good night-light will be needed along with reasonable night-riding skills.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Time to ride Red Hill by LED (You know you want to!) ;-)

When: 
Wednesday, 11 February, 2009 - 19:02
Ride Database Entry: 
Red Hill
Meeting Point: 

The entrance to the Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. .

-33.744534, 151.255780 (Red Hill Carpark)

YES its time for RED HILL by the light of the moon, well at least assisted by 12 volts of LED power.

Bring your armour as this isn't for the newbie’s and ain’t going to be pretty!
We will be doing the extremely technical loop, no down hill.

There will be cursing
There will be blood
There will be heroes

Are you up for it?
Got what it takes?

Oh, and bring a couple of beers for the post ride banter as we wave the ambulance goodbye!

Pikey
