An Intimate Evening By The Warmth Of A Nuclear Glow.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST PART CLOSELY; The meeting point is not the playing field. It is on Illawarra Road opposite the nuclear reactor. Park on the road shoulder. It may seem an odd time and day yet I work the weekend so it's the best I can do. Plus, I rather like late arvo rides.
2 Laps
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
2 laps and a Sports Drink!!!
Menai Mid Week
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Here is a real mountain bike ride in the dark with technical obstacles and nice single track come out on Wednesday night for a blast around Menai.
This is a technical ride so good lights and some competent off road night riding skills are required this will generally be a social to medium paced ride depending on who turns up but we will always wait for the slower riders on the night with that in mind you will still need a reasonable level of bike fitness so its probably not a suitable outing for absolute beginners.
Mad Dogs & Englishmen
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
As discussed - I have to be in Manly earlier in the morning so will take the bike and head to the Dam for few laps after. Plus - Blondie has organised a Cascades/Wildflower-ish ride for the weekend so best to skip there.
Don't mind moving the ride 'til a bit later to accommodate riding buddies but think I may be there even sooner and have done a lap before midday anyhow. Depends how things go.
Perhaps we should also go over to Bantry Bay and ride down the firetrail to the water... you know - just for fun 
Menai Mid Week - We Might Get Lost In The Dark Ride
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Here is something new for this year a regular Wednesday night ride in Menai.
Having only ridden here a few times I don’t really know my way around to well yet but it is fantastic during the day so should be a blast in the dark and something different and a bit more challenging than Terry Hills or Manly.
Manly at 9:00 am
Meeting at the Public school parking.
Cascades Ride - YUK!
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.
Am planning a ride through Cascades - NOT my favourite track but at the moment I am working on my 'hills are my friends' relationship.
I am hoping Paul comes along as I would like do to the ride from Belrose, up to St Ives Showground and back that he took me on about a year ago, I think the ride was about 30ks all up or something along those lines...
Anyway, company would be appreciated! This is social but not soooper slow - she says will full optimism!
Team Toasted Training - Hazelbrook
Higgs Place And The Corner Of Railway Parade Hazelbrock.
Hazelbrook Single Track Training.
This is training for the Sydney 24hr and as such the pace will be quick and occasionally fast if you are unfit this ride is not for you but as with all nobmob rides we will wait for the slower riders in the group on the day. This is a great XC ride with nice fast flowing single track and some tricky technical climbing and descents to keep you working hard.
If you want a challenge come and join team toasted on there training ride we will work you hard but you will be smiling all the way.
Red Hill - rim ride.
At the gate beside the corner of road - lady penryhn drive, Beacon Hill.
A social ride for a couple of hours. Fairly technical - so not for beginners.
