Andoaks + maybe Knapsack + extra downhill

Ride Database Entry: 
The Oaks
Meeting Point: 

MEETING POINT HAS CHANGED FROM LAPSTONE TO EMU PLAINS!
Emu Plains Station carpark (two before Glenbrook to catch an extra downhill at the end and secure a place on the train before the Oaks mob boards at Glenbrook) to catch the 08:13 train up to Wentworth Falls.

or...

If you live between Emu Plains and Wentworth Falls, board the train in the last carriage to meet mid-journey.

or...

If you live around Wentworth Falls, we'll regroup after disembarking the train around the toilet block around 09:15, therefore you can meet us there.

(It'd be nice if you could notify me if you're meeting at the latter two points! Smiling )

17 Railway Street, Emu Plains, New South Wales

Couple of points first:

a) The meeting status wouldn't let me enter exactly what I wanted, so the real meeting status is: "If it's raining hard (more than a sprinkle) and predicted to be above 30 degrees in the mountains, I won't be there."

b) The pace will be "brisk social" - This will mean a couple of stops will happen at the creeks and the helipad, though besides that I want us to be able to move along at a fairly rapid pace, so it'd be preferable to ride with people with a higher degree of fitness.

Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.

Laps numbers depend on conditions. Below is a general guide though as sometimes the course is modified.

A and B grades use the red loop (11km per lap) and do 3-4 laps.
C and D grades use the blue loop (8km per lap) and do 2-3 laps
E grade uses the yellow loop and does 1 lap.

Staggered start, but all riders on the trail at the same time.

Cost is $10 for the race, plus day licence if needed.

Appin
Meeting Point: 

North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.

Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.

but I thought I would post it anyway and maybe someone might show Smiling
