Long Terrey Hills ride 2
Well after my dismal showing last week on the long ride I want to give it another go.
Ride will probably consist of the same tracks ie. Perimeter, Long, Duck Holes, Waratah and Centre Tracks.
I'll try to stop less this time too as I need to get back around lunch time and also becuase I got terribly crampy legs after stopping for a longish break last week!
This time I'll probably do Perimeter and Long trails to finish off the ride rather than as a starter. Also rather than waiting every few hundred metres we can just regroup at trail junctions to make it more of a flowing ride.

Andersons and The Oaks double = Funday Sunday..
Glenbrook railway station car park.
Getting the 8.23 train to Wentworth Falls, then ride Andersons and The Oaks straight through for approx 60km's of fun. Those wanting only to do one of the sections (approx 30km's each) can do Andersons and get the train back from Woodford, or get a later train from Glenbrook and meet us at Woodford to do just the Oaks (you'll probably get the 10.23 from Glenbrook and we'd meet you at Woodford station about 12.30). Too confusing? - just do the lot! You'll need food but there is a tap at Woodford for l'eau.
24 Hour Solo Champs and 6+6 daylight only race
Majura Pines
Due to the demise of the NZO 24hour I'm off to Canberra to see if my manic training schedule has done me any good, unfortunately it's a solo only 24hr race but they also have a 6+6 hour race where you race 6 hours on Sat. then 6 hours on Sun. if you'd prefer to have the night off.
Now racing for 24hours is not as hard as one may think, you just doddle along at your own pace until you've had enough, plenty of people only do 10-15 laps or bang out 30 plus laps to see what you can do! It's at Easter so the opportunity begs for some fun Canberra riding.

Womerah Range Training Ride
West Wisemans Ferry. Turn left bottom of the hill. There's a small parking area I hope we can all fit in!
Just what it says on the related forum topic. Wanted to get back and look at the last section (this makes up roughly Km 72-92) of the 100Km Dirtworks course but with fresh mind and body. The plan is to meet at the West ferry (turn left, not right bottom of the hill), leave cars there then cross on the ferry riding the 5Km or so to bottom of the climb so as to be warm for that. Then ride the Womerah Range trail, turn round and ride back.
Fire trail to Galston Gorge then tar to Dural and home via fire trail through the gorge
Corner of Pacific Hwy and Galston Road
Its about a 30 km loop. Start on firetrails in Hornsby, then link up to Galston Rd and ride down into the gorge and up to Galston. Past shops up to Dural and Quarry Road. Then onto the firetrails that take you back down into the gorge and up the other side home.
