Manly Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I'm looking to do 2 or three laps. We'll likely dive off for one of those and cross the Parkway to do the new singletrack climb that joins the northern end of Bantry Bay with the overbridge and Aquatic Centre descent to the pipeline easement.
SRAM Singletrack Mind Series Round 4
Meranie St, Welby, NSW. Park next to the Cemetery.
The SRAM Singletrack Mind Series features five mountain bike endurance events, of 7 or 8 hours duration. They will take you to five different locations in NSW, each one renowned for its flowing singletrack and fun factor.
The Southern Highlands MTB Club are an industrious lot having built Welby from scratch! And while it's a fine collection of trails already, they listened to your feedback after last year's race and have set about making Welby even more awesome for 2013!
This is the rescheduled date for the event on 20 October that was postponed due to the bushfires in NSW.
Beginner XC ride - Duckholes/Centre - all welcome
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Hello all budding new riders.
Some newer participants to the sport have recently asked for some practice in getting out there and riding some of our local trails. So if you are new to mtb riding and would like to come along, please update your 'star' to show your participation.
Trail selection was something fairly easy but not boring. I figure Duckholes/Centre a good ride and far more interesting than doing the Long Trail.
Duck Holes + Centre + St Ives Singletrack Return
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
The weather forecast looks a lot better for Sunday, mid-20s. Here's a chance to check out what NPWS has fixed on the trail with Perimeter trail scheduled to be opened on Friday.
Update: since NPWS contractors haven't finished the works on Perimeter we're reverting to Duck Holes and Centre.
If there is appetite for some climbing we'll throw in Chiltern in the middle for some variety. I haven't ridden on this track previously so we can get lost together 
Sunday Stringline
Glenbrook Oval, Hare St, Glenbrook NSW. Near the skate park. Ride down Moore Street to the start of trail that leads into the main park around the gate.
We ask visitors to please park here to not affect the residents. Plenty of parking plus amenities.
So, unfortunately I was in Canada when the new DH trail opened, so I'm finally getting a chance to head up there!
I'll be bringing one mate along, so if more than 3 others want to rock up we'll need another shuttle vehicle (as I can do 5).
C'mon, who wants to show me down the new trail! Kingy, I'm looking at you!
