It's been building to this all year and will be the last chance for our local top guns to test their legs before the World Cup the two weekends later in Canberra. Entries should be open soon.
Held at Wollongong Mountain Bike Club's track at Appin, the technical and fun track should produce some spectacular racing.
Entries now open!

Manly Dam - Professors week off pt1
*No Professor - broken wrist...see you in 6 weeks*
Day 1 of my week off work = Manly Dam Day.
I've only done 2 laps of this before & managed a *cracking* 50min lap, so I'll be out there to do 5 or so laps & learn the track a bit better.
Aiming to get under 45min, we'll see how that goes...
Happy for anyone to join me, the first 2 or 3 laps will be trying to learn parts that I (blush) walked last time, with a timed lap or two at the end.
Planning on bringing a bit of lunch, not taking things too seriously.
Come join me for 1 lap or all,
Don
Delicious FreeRideTastic
The meeting point will be opposite the ANSTO nuclear reactor. Park on the road shoulder opposite the ANSTO sign on New Illawarra Road.
As described in the heading this is a freeride and downhill ride at Menai where we will visit several of the freeride constructions and also the very good downhill track. There is no shuttle. Everyone will be pushing back to the top.
Also we will go for a general pedal about the place for the sake of some exercise and to get muddy.
The pace will be relaxed with plenty of time to repeat jumps and downhill runs.
I've set a limit of ten riders to minimize congestion.
WWS 2008 Round 6 - Stromlo
The final 8 Hour for the BMC Working Week Series for 2008 is at Stromlo, and it is indeed a part of the Nissan UCI World Cup Festival - in fact, it's the very first event of the Festival (one week beforehand)!
It's a bit of a hike, but NobMoB has had some good results in the previous rounds, and the 8 hr format is really good fun.
I'm planning on heading down Sat arvo with Groover, camping overnight.
This will be good preparation for the Scott 24, getting to know the track, logistics, camping etc.
Terrey Hills - Social ride
Terrey Hills car park near the shops
As there was no night ride posted for this week I thought this may be a nice ride. We did this one as a training ride last month which was a really cool ride. Put this one up as a social ride...not that far to the Tavern from the shops 
We could change to Perimeter + Long, although I will need someone to lead then as I have not done these at night.
See you all there.
narrowneck (blue mountains)
glenraphael drive, katoomba, nsw
I'll be riding the fire trail at narrowneck near katoomba at the aforementioned time and date. If you would like to join me, sign up 
Today: Terrey Hills SOCIAL RIDE 3 PM [sunny to snowy!]
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 out - finally!
We'e going for a spontaneous Terrey Hills Ride on Sunday arvo, starting from the Japanese School on Booralie Rd (Terrey Hills) ~ 3 PM. Riding Perimeter Trail & Long Trail (approx 23 km's return)
According to the NoBMob weather maps the track appears to be DRY and un-affected by recent rains.
Everyone welcome - the more the merrier - easy social pace.
SMS or call me on 0408-123680 if you need more info.

Happiness is a warm shock
Photography afternoon at red hill.
Lady Penrhyn drive.
Tentatively postponed until August 10
Ever wanted to wow your significant other with some shots of you riding?
When you last climbed that steep boulder did you ever wish that someone had a camera ready?
Ever wanted to get some action shots of some other riders without having worry about slowing the group?
On Saturday I'm planning to have a photography day at Red Hill. I want to get some action and artistic shots, not just of others but of me too.
