It's On
Pre-social ride for Wednesday Night Double Helpings.
Terrey Hills Tavern - usual spot (or in the far right hand corner of the main car park if you're not usual).
Perimeter & Long tracks. "Brisk" pace (that means medium speed-22km in 1 & 1/4 hrs, no stops except for mechanicals, injuries and, OK, widdles. But you should have gone before you left the house!)
Back to the tavern carpark to link up with the social set and join their ride.
Pub afterwards for a cleansing apple juice and bag of pork scratchings.
Fling training ride at Wisemans Ferry
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
A long ride in preparation for the Southern Highland Fling leaving 2 weeks to recover before the Scott 24 hour. I had in mind a 70 to 80k ride starting at wisemans ferry then up the sandy hill and continuing 35k along Gt Northern Road. Then turn back and go down Shepherds Gully and finish ourselves of on the 8k road back to the ferry.
This is a training ride so minimal stops but the pace will not be race pace. A moderate pace to average about 15kms / hour is ideal.
Bring heaps of food and water and a spare tube and everything else required for big a day out.
Trials National Round
Pacific Park - http://www.pacificpark.com.au/
There'll be a National trials comp at Pacific Park on the 12th October, details here http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?.... It'll be an all day event and there'll be top riders from all over Oz, being a national round, so a great watch and the park has some really interesting all natural stuff to ride. Anyone can compete for a few bucks, there'll be novice to pro level markers.
See you there,
Matt.
Wed night social Terry Hills ride
Terry Hills Tavern
An easy wander around Duck holes and centre tracks, also happy to throw in Watatah on the night if more Ks are requested
This ride is now starting at the tavern.
Sunday Arvo Cascades 4 gates
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.
Starting from Wyatt Ave, down Heath, up Quarry, down Quarry, Up Cambourne, down Cambourne, up Davidson, down Davidson, up Heath, No stopping!
Speedy Manly Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Just a quick couple of laps. Allegedly some of the speedsters are coming so this will probably be two quick laps (read sub 40') without stops.
Red Hill
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill.
Hi all,
This is late notice, I know. So sorry about that. Given my other riding options did not seem to turn out, I still want to fit in some fun riding early on Saturday morning.
Who's up for some Red Hill action?
The ride can be quite technical, but most of the harder parts can be ridden around or walked. So don't be discouraged. It is all part of the fun.
Park on Lady Penrhyn drive. I will be in a blue Mazda.
Hopefully I will see you there!
Pre Terrey Hills social ride spin
Meet at Terrey Hills Tavern car park. Normally park in far right hand corner from the car park entrance.
A steady, medium paced (ie faster than social but not race pace) spin out along Duck Holes & Centre tracks to get some additional k's in, aiming to meet back up with the 19:15 ride at the Tavern (or catching them up if back late, which we shouldn't be) to warm down and 'socialise' before suitable post-ride frothing liquid refreshment based proceedings inside the Tavern commence.
Total km's = about 36 for the night.
Total beers = 2 for the driver, as many as you like for the passengers.
Total bags of chips = surely we can find some decent food in there by now!
