Manly Dam - 3 Laps
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Going to try and make this a weekly MTB hit out, to supplement the road training.
3 laps (non-stop) with maybe a 4th slower lap...
Late Avo Manly DAM
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
1 or 2 laps of Manly Dam without intentional stopping other then tackling/practicing problems.
Ourimbah School Holiday Special
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
If you're on Holidays this week, head out to Ourimbah for a few fun laps of the XC Course. The track is in great condition at the moment - even after the rain. Will be a very social pace. The Drop is off-limits sorry.
Social Ride At Manly In The Dark
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
A social paced lap of Manly at night this is a mountain bike ride with some nice technical challenges especially at night this outing is not for beginners even at the slower social pace keep in mind that Terry Hills might be a better ride for you if your skills are not quite there yet. The pace will be social anyone wanting a harder hit out should arrive for the earlier fast lap with no stops.
Bring along a beer or in my case a Ginger beer for the usual after ride analysis and chat.
SOCIAL Night Ride [@ Terrey Hills]
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills Tavern, eastern carpark, Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084

Stretch your legs - spring is here!
Naturally we'll have a cleansing ale at the Tavern afterwards.
[Everyone welcome - suitable for newbies, too!]
See you on Wednesday...

Single track training
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Hazelbrook train station carpark on Railway parade, near Higgs place.
This is planned to be fairly constant single track riding to practice your skills, improve your fitness and have a bunch of fun before the 24 hour and the Fling, both of these races have heaps of great single track so you owe it to yourself to get out there. The pace is planned to be medium to quick and as always we'll will wait at the next corner or top of hill to regroup. If you are unfit this ride is unsuitable. We will be doing mostly single track but throwing a bit of technical climbing and descent.
Lithgow explore
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Valley Drive, Lithgow
Who's up for a good 'ol explore of the technical riding around Hassans Wall and also the Donnybrook downhill trail at Lithgow?
The ride will be of the more technical in nature. Although my description of "downhill" is a little off - they are not actually a downhill race track at all... but in fact are excellent fun as you blast down a long and flowing technical trail. There are some fun bits to stop and play on along the way. It is some of the best trails I have ever ridden.
Massive Northern Beaches Ride 2008
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Jamieson Park, off The Esplanade, on the southern shore of Narrabeen Lake
It's been more than a year, and I get asked a lot about setting up another "Massive Northern Beaches Ride". So here it is, back again, bigger and brighter for 2008. An EPIC if there ever was one. And it even comes in 1 week ahead of the Fling, so represents a great opportunity to put in about 60km on your local trails beforehand.
AWABA
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
AWABA, I've never been there so if someone has good directions?

Saturday at Manly Dam
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Greetings!
I will be doing a couple of fast laps around the Dam early on Saturday morning. If anyone else wanted the hit out, please come along. My intended riding speed will be fairly fast, but with most of the typical stops along the way for a drink. And maybe a small bit of playtime on the bumpy bits. Given this, the ride would probably not be suitable for newbies.
If you don't recognise me, I will be the one in the blue Mazda2.
See you there.
