It's On
If Open and not to wet - Manly Dam - 2 or 3 laps
I am looking at doing 2 or 3 laps without intended stopping other then tackling some problems or practicing skills tomorrow. Social ride but like to get those legs working hard.
I have a 07 Reign 1 and will be at the Hydraulics at 9.30 if is not raining and it doesn't rain to much tonight;
Weather forecast is:
Forecast for Saturday
Just a brief shower or two, more likely around the middle of the day. Fresh southwest to southerly winds, strong and gusty nearer the coast, easing in the evening.
Precis: Brief shower or two. Windy.
An Early Lap
A few people have expressed intrest in my early lap before meeting up with the main ride so here it is.
I am riding to the dam with Gavin and should be there in time to start at 6.15pm if you dont see us by 6.20 start without us and we will catch up. This lap will be a medium pace and will be the standard loop with the aim of getting around in time to meet up with the main ride there wont be any stopping except maybe to have a quick look at the new section.
Capertee Challenge
The Capertee Challenge is back on! Stunning scenery, great trails!
Use your Mogo-trained legs to take on this great race through the worlds second largest enclosed valley!
This is a mountain bike event where you challenge yourself, the elements and the clock over two circuits of 52 kilometres each.
The course is set in the Capertee Valley, 180 kilometres west of Sydney , Australia, in a stunning area comprised of sandstone cliffs and abundant wildlife. There are some easy and some difficult sections on the course.
2008 World Champs Car Pool - Sydney to Canbera loners unite - Majura Pines ride
Majura Pine Forest, off Majura Road.
For all those wanting to watch the World Champs 30th - 31st August but just don't have a crew to make it happen.
This is now 'locked in'
We will leave early Saturday morning (7am) and return Sunday night (9pm).
Bring your bike! for a ride Saturday morning. Majura Pines is an option, but there are also tracks next to the event that can be ridden. (might be a good option for people wanting to watch the XC)
Accomodation options are to either camp or find a reasonable and cheap motel/lodge/hostel
Terry Hills - West Head: There and Back again II
2nd Last weekend before the Angry Doctor, bail-out points along the way if required.
You know you need to. 
Saturday Morning Training
Glenbrook Station Carpark
This is a hard and fast training ride starting at 6.00am sharp for a quick up and down the Oaks before the day starts. There will be no stopping or waiting at all apart from toilet breaks if needed. The pace will be moderate to fast with an estimated overall time from the carpark at Glenbrook to the top gate at Woodford and back to the carpark of 3 hours.
The route will be the standard Oaks up and back with the fun sniggle at the end there are no detours or side trips of the main trail planned for this ride.
Bigger Hill Fest
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
After the success of the shortened hill fest yesterday, and with 2 weeks to the doctor, bring on the stupidity! 
This is billed as a training ride so there will be minimal stops. Please do not show up unless you can do this distance, or at least ride fast until one of the bail out points. If that's your plan be prepared to gracefully bow out somewhere along the route if you are struggling.
So, the route will be the following hilly goodness:
NIGHT RIDE: The (NEW) Manly Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
By popular request: Thursday NIGHT RIDE: THE (NEW) MANLY DAM

Social Pace - everyone welcome (...as long as you have good lights...and you have ridden there before...plus there will be ride leaders guiding through the new bits).
