It's On
Wingello
4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
Back to Wingello on Sunday.
There is a few of us going down there, and the focus is to work on finding some speed through the singletrack sections. Not so much fireroad smashing this time.
We'll probably ride the red loop twice through, and be hitting a few sections really fast. Something like 4 or 5 x 5mins efforts through the singletrack.
Its still gonna be a swift ride overall. Happy for people to come along and work on polishing the skills a bit....
If you are worried about pace, flick me a pm.
CCOMTB XC Round 2
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.
Clarinda Track Friday evening
Corner of Galston and Somerville Roads (Traffic Lights)
Quick cruise around local firetrail to relieve the week's pressures. Check the track's page - it's exactly what the ride will consist of.
Am planning to stop to take track photos so I can upload them into the gallery
red hill sat morning
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
Hey folks,well im back on the northern beaches for the next few months,am very keen to get plenty of riding in before i head back down to the snowies.I seem to have lost abit of nerve and much of the (minimal) skill i had previously,im chalking it up to riding with my partner and not really challenging myself in a fair while.So im hoping a few rounds of red hill with some capable and fearless riders will help shake out the cobwebs.It wont be fast,as the 80,000 beers i consumed over the hols preclude fast unless im gravity assisted!
Winmalee
Behind the nursery on Hawkesbury rd.
Friday afternoon/evening ride around Winmalee.
To change things up a bit we'll start near the nursery and ride the sniggle then down the Grotto. From here we'll head up to Shaw's, ride along Shaw's then down into Bluegum. The challenge is going up Bee's Nest and make it past the last left hander, then on to the lookout. Return via Springwood Ridge and reverse sniggle.
Lights are probably not necessary, however Ill be putting at least my bar light on just in case.
Not too keen if it rains as the sniggle and grotto suffer badly in the wet.
See you there........
Back in the saddle, Perimeter & Long
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Finally, the Doc has given me the all clear to get back in the saddle after a 4 month recovery 
so picking an easy track to ease back into it. Just going to do Perimeter and Long out and back at a steady pace. Probably about 1hr 20min return to carpark. Anyone welcome to join, I am just happy to get back on the bike
Mont Training: Hill Repeats at Terrey Hills
Although we don't normally ride this trail on it's own, with a bit of road work it makes a nice loop from Terrey Hills shops (on Booralie Road) then onto Centre Track and back along the road to the shops.
That's the same as the more standard Terrey Hills rides.
After a warmup ride down the Duck Holes trail to McCarr's Creek Rd, we'll turn around and do 4 to 5 repetitions of 5 minute climbs back up Duck Holes, followed by a cruise out to Perimiter and Long and possibly a diversion to Cowan, at endurance pace.
The goal here is to get our climbing legs ready, as the trails at Kowan are supposed to have a few more climbs than the previous venue.
Bmorc Ride Your Old/Childs Bike Oaks bash
Glenbrook station carpark.
Well BMORCer's - it's time to relive your childhood (although most of us have yet to grow up) and grab/steal your son/daughters/neighbours/mother in law's BMX, MTB, Roadie whatever and hit the Oaks for some ragged fun 
(Make sure your son/daughter/neighbour and especially mother in law is not on the bike at the time)
Guidelines are:
1) Bike not to be worth more than $200 new or needs to be over ten years old.
2) No disc brakes.
3) You have to carry it out with you even if it is stuffed.
4) All stacks are your own fault for riding such a heap of S*&t
5) No clipless pedals
Early Galston Gorge (Quarry Road Track)
End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
Best way to start my Sunday morning before getting into a load of schoolwork. Part of my training for a race I'm hoping to compete in for my school, though won't be pushing it too much. Just crusing and pedalling up at a brisk but not painful (for me), so experienced riders are preferable.
Check out the trail page for more info, there's not much else to say!
Paterson Kona 24 Hour - May 21/22.
Boulton Road, Paterson.
The Paterson Kona 24 will be hosted by Hunter Mountain Bike Association, and will provide a true test of mountain biking endurance and skill, all in a fun family-friendly atmosphere.
The original Paterson Classic was an XCO event run over a decade ago along the site’s vast array of fire-trails, and was renowned as a brutal test of mountain biking skill.
With full support from the Paterson community, this event will raise money to aid in restoration and maintenance of some of the region’s historic buildings, including several local churches.
