Sydney Olympic Park Training ride
Meadowbank Ferry wharf
This is an MTB training ride designed to get the legs spinning after a week out of action with rain. I plan to cover around 40K at an average pace of 20+ Km/h, so reasonable pace. Unfortunately all will be on roads or cycle paths in and surrounding Sydney Olympic Park, but it sure beats a spin class if the weather breaks.

Ourimbah spin
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
After being off the bike a while it is time to try and get some fitness back. Three maybe four laps at a moderate pace. Haven't ridden Ourimbah for ages so looking forward to it.
Winmalee warm-up
End of White Cross Rd, Winmalee, NSW. There's a small parking area here but it's a standard suburban street so overflow isn't a problem.
My riding buddy Craig and Myself are heading out for a bit of a training ride around Winmalee in the morning. We are meeting at the Whitecross carpark. Starting with a run along Shaw's Ridge, down the fast and loose descent into Bluegum Swamp then up the beast that is Bee's Nest to the lookout. From there we heading along Springwood Ridge, down the really steep technical descent into the Grotto. Then we'll hang a left and ride through Bluegum in reverse, back up the grinding Shaw's hill, along Shaw's Ridge in reverse.
Manly Dam easy training ride
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
My training schedule for the Back Yamma Big Foot has been interrupted with illness and lower back issues over the last 6 weeks, so looking to ease back into getting some kilometres in the legs.
