Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

In the carpark of the large building with at the West end of Allies Rd (junction with Old Illawarra Rd). Anyone know what this building is, BTW?

-34.036071,151.006941 (Old Illawarra & Allies Rd)

Have to go down South again on Saturday so why not explore Menai while there?

Found a few MB activities that may help us find our way, take a look at these:

This last one in particular sounds promising - will put that in the Edge so we can follow it - this is what decided the meeting point.

See you there!

Sparrow Hill

When:

Ride Database Entry: 
Sparrow Hill

Will be driving down to the Snowies on this day, makes sense to stop at a Can'bra track on the way? I've never done Sparrow Hill so will go take a look.

Anyone in the vicinity (especially that actually knows where they are going Eye-wink) please come along! Laughing out loud

That said, if there's no tour guide available, will probably put this circuit in the Edge and follow it:

Stromlo Mish-mash

When:

Ride Database Entry: 
Stromlo Forest Park

Moved to Sunday Jan 6 by popular demand

For those down in the Snowies the week before this will be a 'rest' stop on the way home.

Play it by ear, but imagine there will be both XC and DH on offer.

Sunday, 9 December, 2007 - 07:30
Ride Database Entry: 
The Oaks

Hi,

As discussed previously I will be doing the Oaks this Sunday morning. Just found out that there are no trains running as well so there goes the cruisy ride up on the train!!! So i will probably go up the oaks (probably not all the way), maybe do St Helena's and then back down again.

The Pinch Ride

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Wednesday, 2 January, 2008 - 07:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Pilot Wilderness
Meeting Point: 

Cascade Trail head. About 5Km West of Thredbo Village along The Alpine Way.

-36.523022,148.264310

Mountains, here we come!

Re-enactment of the great Pinch Ride of 2004 (gallery). No GPS from that, but the route is a little bit like this found on MB here for future reference on Garmin Connect:

https://

Minus the leg from Thredbo (we'll start Cascade Trail head) and the bit this dude got lost in the middle - so maybe this will end up around 55Km all up.

Apparantly the last decent is a real workout for the brakes, be sure to have your bike in tip-top condition!

Sorry for the late notice, but early ride for Sunday.

Duck Holes / Waratah / Centre Track

When: 
Sunday, 2 December, 2007 - 15:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Waratah Track
Meeting Point: 

Terrey Hills shopping centre car park, near the Rural Bush Fire Brigade station

Hardly been on my bike in 3 weeks and I'm hanging for a pedal (Stuart behave).

I'm planning to do Duck Holes to Waratah and return via Centre track to loosen the cobwebs and would be happy for some company if there are like minded souls out there.

The trails aren't technical, although Waratah is a little gnarly in places and by my reckoning it's a touch over 27k's for the loop.

Sunday is forecast to be fine with a top of 25, but if its raining I probably wont ride - call me on 0409-359961 if in any doubt.
