It's On
Easy Sunday Tour Of The Dam - Cancelled Too Wet.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I am planning on doing 2 laps of the Dam on Sunday morning.
This will be a social paced ride with a few stops to have a look at some of the fun parts like the steps etc. I will probably do the standard lap of the dam first followed by a second lap with a detour of some of the extra legal bits on the other side of wakehurst parkway.
Anyone and everyone is welcome the pace will be determined by who turns up this is not a training ride so expect to stop and look at the scenery a little.
Ourimbah State Forest - Sun 31st Aug
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.
One week before the Angry Doctor, so aiming to have a semi-hard (way-hey!) ride, perhaps 4 laps of the main XC loop to get some sniggle skills practice and then perhaps an explore or some unknown (to me) trails, and/or some downhill fun.
The weather looks a little undecided coming up the weekend at the moment but the track does deal with the wet quite well (the grave yard is still off limits I believe making the lap less than 10km's). That said we will need to get a better idea before heading out.
Hemi-roid ride. Pre-social ride lap of Long & Perimeter tracks..
Terry Hills Tavern, eastern carpark, Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084
If anyone wants to do a bit more than the social ride but doesn't want to join the 'Roids on their 'antisocial' ride (or can't because they're at the group size limit), I'm doing a non stop medium paced lap of Long/Perimeter tracks before joining up with the social ride, wherever I bump into them on the way back, for a second (more socially paced) lap.
Stretch the legs + Lunch
Terrey Hills Tavern
This will be a easy spin just to keep the legs going. As this is the last weekend before the Angry Doctor I will be taking it easy. This will not be a training paced ride.
Plan is to do sniggle into Duck Holes, then Centre, Perimeter and Long Tracks.
We can keep the stops on the trail at a minimum and then go to the Tavern for lunch and a beer 
Sunday - World Cup - car convoy to Canberra
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
Hi all,
** NOTE - NOW LEAVING AT 6:00 am TO ENSURE ENOUGH EATING TIME AND STILL BE AT STROMLO IN TIME **
I will be driving down to Stromlo this Sunday to watch Sam Hill and Nathan Rennie smash the competition. I would be leaving Cremorne quite early, about 6:30 a.m. to be there in time to watch the downhill semis at 10:30.
If anyone else was interested in doing the trip, or eating brekky on the way, please put down your name and we can car convoy down there and turn up together. I need the friends.
Bring your cow bells!
See you out there.
Liam.
Anti-social Night Ride
Terrey Hills Tavern
To compliment the social ride here's the more serious one.
You know the drill, we will start from the Tavern and ride Duck Hole + Centre + Perimeter + Long and back to Tavern.
This is a training ride and you should expect to only unclip once the whole ride - at the North end of Centre Track.
We may or may not slow down if/when the social group is met - either way, at least we can get social with them afterwards at the Tavern.
TUESDAY SOCIAL Night ride [Perimeter & Long trail]
Terry Hills Tavern, eastern carpark, Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084
TUESDAY Night ride - Perimeter & Long trail (Everyone welcome - suitable for newbies, too)
Come along and GET FIT FOR SPRING: 1 lap for the social set, 2 or more for faster riders... 
Naturally we'll have a cleansing ale at the Tavern (Training HQ's) afterwards.
See you on Tuesday...
Rgds, Hans
Sunday Arvo Training Ride [Terrey Hills]
Starting near the Japanese School (off Booralie Rd, at the corner Echunga / Durunbil Rd) to avoid any muddy bits...Easy to find - just look for the carpark at the end of Echunga Rd)
The sun is back today - finally! Only 2 weeks to the Angry Doctor race - last chance for some training!
I'm going for a spontaneous Terrey Hills training ride on Sunday arvo, starting from the Japanese School on Booralie Rd (Terrey Hills) ~ 2 PM. Riding Perimeter Trail & Long Trail (approx 20 km's return). If we feel up to it, we might do 2 laps / extended version.
According to the NoBMob weather maps the track appears to be RELATIVELY DRY and un-affected by recent rains.
SMS or call me on 0408-123680 if you need more info.

Apping Sunday Morning Training Ride?
Corner Burke & Market St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head. If lost ask local for the fire station and Scout Hall.
Proposing 3 laps of approx 10km each. For some 2 might be enough. Training ride at medium pace. Quick stops at end of each lap to refuel. Fairly technical in places so some experience is required. Awesome track with "no boring bits".
Late notice leave pass so sorry for late posting.
String
Afternoon Lap
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Just a lap around the dam. I will aim for 2 laps but this is dependant on the weather (ie. begins to rain). The weather is supposed to be clearing tomorrow (sunday) so it shouldn't be a problem. According to the rangers, the track is open and the dam hasn't received much rain over the past couple of days. Keen for anyone to join up for 1 or 2 laps.
