Not enough interest
Ando's + Oaks
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.
Rescheduled after the %%$^%#$ weather reports advised about the winds scheduled, and the tracks are probably covered with fallen trees.
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.
Afternoon Berowra Valley, Glaston Gauge ride.
End of Quarry rd, Dural
EDIT: heading to Excelsior tracks, closer to home 
Riding a lap and back + some single tracks and the Downhill sections. Whatever we feel like.
Berowra Heights
Corner of Gully and Berowra Waters Road.
To be reschedule it to a later date since people didn't seem to be able to make it this Saturday
Interesting loop encompassing a mix of interesting tracks, exciting descents and not so exciting, but fitness building ascents. Technical parts, senic parts, cruisy parts, exhilrating parts, over a range of fire trail, etc.
Just hope the weather behaves. The track drains extremely well, but after trashing my bike in the rain a couple of months ago, I want to take every precaution necessary to avoid spending another $400, and will cancel if it's wet/raining.
Andoaks, Good Friday
Glenbrook station carpark.
I know it's late notice, though after slogging hard through a painful term of year 12, I'm very keen for a nice long ride of Andersons and the Oaks and hoping I could get some company. The train arrives at Lapstone at 8:21am to get to Wentworth Falls at 9:10 (If you want to meet there instead). Depending on people's desire, we can hit St. Helena instead (I've never done it before), as I'm keen to see what it's like.
Anyway, hope to see you there.
RNP Evening - Night Lap
MEETING POINT IS DIFFERENT TO THE NORMAL RIDE DATABASE. Meet just past the Primary school at the end of Grays Point Rd, grays Point
Was planning on doing a Full lap of the RNP
This is a training ride the pace will be moderate with no stopping
Bring lights as they maybe need towards the end.
Deano
Manly dam. This saturday. 9am start (will reconsider if people wish).
Corner Gibbs st and sunshine st, in the Carpark outside Manly Vale Public School.
Hey. just trying to get some guys together for a medium paced ride through manly dam. Will want to ride early (before midday) on saturday (19th). If you wish you can email me [email protected]
Berowra
Corner of Gully and Berowra Waters Road. There's a little playground there that has a tap to fill water up from and a car park behind the shops.
If the timings on Friday afternoon aren't suitable for you, let me know and I might be able to change them.
If you've been here before with me, you'll know what to expect. If you haven't here's a rough outline:
We start by going along a nice quiet road, which starts to descend, and gradually you go faster and faster, until a final mad rush, where you'll hit terminal velocity (well, not quite, but I hit 66.6km/h once). Like the sound of that? It's just the beginning.
Quarry Road Track
End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
There's basically four sections to this out and back firetrail: Great downhill (Anderson's style) descent that lasts forever, that gets down to a beautiful bridge. Then followed by an equally forever uphill (the erosion on some of the tarseal doesn't help) when we come to a campground. That's before hitting the steepest bit of all, which goes forever. Things start to get a bit easier, as it's only small inclines and declines for 3km before the Quarry Road gate. After turning around, we go off to the left fork at the campground for more small ups and downs.
Hornsby Heights loop
Corner of Galston and Somerville Roads (in front of the corner store is best place... you can't miss it, it's at a traffic light set)
I generally ride these trails around my house each week, and feel like doing it with others for a change. It's mainly firetrail, though there are some interesting sections where the track has eroded and has become more technically interesting. There's also a bit of singletrack. The main part to the ride will consist of what mainly is a 6km firetrail that goes from the beginning of Galston Gorge and finishes near the beginning of the famous Quarry Road Track, which is pretty good considering it's only a local track.
Quarry Road Track: The famous waterbar punctuated descent
End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
This ride quite literally has its ups and downs. The upside is the great downhill blasts on either side of the creek, but of course, what goes down must go back up 
But despite this, you'll get your fitness workout, as well as have some great views of Berowra Valley Regional Park, as well as see the grand old bridge at the bottom.
Won't go to much more detal - just look at the description of the track on the site... it says all you need to know.
BE WARNED: YOU NEED A GOOD DEGREE OF FITNESS TO ENJOY THIS TRACK!!
But once you can do the uphills, it's all great fun
