Bad weather
Berowra Firetrail
Corner of The Gully Road and Berowra Waters Road
SADLY, THE WEATHER IS TOO UNPLEASANT AS OF SUNDAY NIGHT, AND SEEING AS THE TRACKS DON'T WEATHER WELL (AS IN, GET FULL OF PUDDLES), I'M GOING TO HAVE TO POSPONE IT TO ANOTHER DAY
If you went with me a couple of weeks ago, it's the same as what we did then.
Lane Cove Social/Novice Ride
Browns Water Hole Picnic Table
If driving, park South End of Kissing Point Rd OR North End of Vimieria Rd. Follow Cycle way down to the picnic table.
Easy fire trail with bits of overgrown fire trail. A nice cruisy ride at a slow pace on a Friday arvo. Suitable for novices.
SMS if your providing less than 48 hours notice as I could change the location/time via mobile phone if there are only a few going.
EDIT: TIME CHANGED TO 17:15 (5:15 PM) FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
Manly Dam x2
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I'm looking to do a couple of laps and maybe a third, depending on how I feel and how damp the track.
Lap 1 will be at an easy training pace of around 45 minutes, looking to do non-stop. Lap 2 will be at social pace ie, with breaks to wait for folks to catch up / catch their breath.
Happy to have folks join for first or second laps. ETA for start of lap 2 would be 12:50.
I'll be away from a computer from 8:45am so use your judgement on the weather - if it's been raining on the day I won't be riding.
Terry Hills - Slow Social Night Ride
Note: This ride is leaving from Echunga Rd (near the Japanese School). It is a short ride with no asphalt section.
A slowish cruise. I'm getting used to some new pedals and have been lazy/busy lately.
If coming with <24 hr notice pls send me an SMS. Time/location/status could change with little notice (over the phone) if low numbers.
Manly Dam 3 Laps
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
No that it will be dark and I need to get more riding in my intention is doing 3 laps so lights definitely required.
Terrey Hills Night Ride
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Binned due to bad weather - it's not looking like the balmy night I'd hoped. Reports are that there has been constant drizzle/rain so imagine even if DH/C are good, Perimeter will be a soggy mess. No-one seems that keen so ride cancelled. Sorry if this catches you unaware.
Oooh look...
The Mont is on in couple of weeks.
I haven't riden on dirt since that crash at Appin in January.
Have just got back from couple week holiday.
Haven't used lights on the bike since... must be the Scott?
Lane Cove - Social Ride
Creek crossing between bottom of Kissing Point Road and Vimiera Road.
Meet "At the Seat" South End Kissing Point Road.
The seat is the picnic table down in the valley next to the concrete cycleway, near the water crossing at Browns Waterhole. If you can come at a later time then please come along. We come back to the seat about every hour so you can join in then if ya like.
Legal track only, avoiding big hills. XC style riding.
Some people park on Kissing Point Road, Turramurra
OR
Some people park on Vimiera Road Macquarie Uni Side.
The concrete cycleway links the two sides.

CCOMTB - Club Race - 2010 Round 6
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Awesome race at the best track around (ok, so I'm biased). Come along and race, and be home for lunch. Please park at the upper car park, I believe the lower one shouldn't be used by MTB riders any more.
XC Race day Fees are $15.00 plus an additional $15 for an MTBA day license if you don't have one. Registration is from 8am, racing starts at 9.30 sharp.

red hill sampler
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
A tour of the hill for anyone that's up for it.
Its not a Downhill ride, nor is it an XC ride.. lets just call it a technical ride
Planning about a 15K ride, no real need for armor, i don't wear it (famous last words?) but of course your more than welcome to wear it as there will be plenty of opportunities to go crazy ( if your into that kinda thang ).. you just gotta be prepared to wear it for some uphill as well.
Manly Dam 2 Laps
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I intend on stopping at the Dam on the way home. My intention is to do 2 laps before last light so no lights will be required. This isn't a training ride and we can stop and play on sections if anyone wants to
