Father's Day Doddle
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Planning on burning off the Father's Day smoked salmon, eggs and hollandaise sauce breakfast! I do not plan on going at this overly hard but I would like to make a decent go of it at least. Will be heading along Terrey Hills Trail/Duck Holes, around to Centre, ride around to Perimeter and then, depending how I feel, either out to Long and then either back to the car via Perimeter or Cullamine Tracks.
Wollombi Wild Ride 60 Km
Tough fast race with lots of climbs, fire trail and cow poo. No real time to recover. Great event and spirited prize giving
Berowra Bushy Firetrails
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Playground at the roundabout of Berowra Waters Rd and the Gully Road (Parking is nearby)
So I'm planning to ride this great loop with 5km of enclosed firetrail with descents punctuated with waterbars, lookouts, mostly covered in ferns, and I rate this one of the best firetrails in Hornsby District.
After that there'll be some 'interesting' stuff (which you'll find out about if you come), followed by several other good downhill firetrail blasts, before finishing up for a day.
This weekend's activities
A quick forum and riding round up for the weekend:
For some, this Sunday may well be their hardest ride of the year so wishing everyone heading to the Angry Doctor & Irate Intern best of luck. If you are still holding out hopes of snapping up a late entry BTW, check the classifieds - quick!
It's not all about the doctor though - don't forget those at tomorrow's Wollombi Wild Ride. If you aren't quite up to racing yet, perhaps a Novice Chix XC Clinic is the thing? 
Or for some plain old fun - head for the Yellomundie Roll on Sunday.
When out on the trails remember to stay safe and always ride within your abilities. There was quite a discussion about a recent accident at manly Dam. Also, look out for the wildlife as we were reminded snake season has started early and what lurks above the 19th hole...
And on the topic of snake bites, danielschipper asked, Why do I get punctures?. Other popular threads recently are, Two things to clarify..., a few words trail status updates, some pretty good tips on how to fix a Camelbak bladder and Frags wondered what to do with his Norco six 1. We also had news about Ku-ring-gai Unstructured Recreation Strategy - please comment!.
Finally, a few clips to rev you up for the weekend, check out these goodies...
Brian Lopes Downhill Run
Helmet cam | Peaty and Minaar | Worlds DH course at Mont Sainte Anne 2010
Post Office Bike jam
... and not so goodies from The Atherton Project - Season 2 Episode 7! Wishing superstar Dan and all those mere mortals out there who might be out of action right now (see above!) a speedy recovery.
