The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills Tavern
The other regular night ride.
How about we do Duck/Centre and then do it again backwards for a change?
Not fussed. We can do what the crowd wants on the night.
Thanks to Gazza for lending me his bike and the Terrey Hills ride!
Finally managed to get out on a ride last Thursday when Gary took me out on the Terrey Hills fire trails route. Your tracks are so different here - the rocks and the scree are probably nothing to you guys as you're used to it - I found it a bit unnerving. That track finally made me understand the absolute necessity of a full suspension bike. If I'd been riding my KHS Team full rigid (aka the Tea Trolley or V&A exhibit circa 1994) without doubt I'd have been more off than on. The bike Gary let me use was excellent and absorbed so much - my old steed would have bucked me off pronto.
Horses (was Thanks for the warning)
Thanks for the warning Martin.
Slowing/stopping for horses is just part of sharing the trails my friend, remember we are all out there for the same reason regardless of what we ride & a bit of horse poo never hurt anyone(as long as you dont ride with your mouth open 
).
Days Like This
Someone (I think it was that Fat Cyclist dude) once wrote about how to explain the love of riding to your friends. He reasoned with them like this... imagine you have an incredible sports car... and imagine a breathtaking piece of road to drive it on... then imagine being able to drive that road flat out, as fast as you like without fear of hurting anyone else or being pulled over by the cops. I'm sure you get the metaphors... mountain biking is this rush!
Well, sadly this morning I had other things to attend to (yes, sorry, aside from the trail day which had to be binned), but this arvo got out on a ride in Royal National Park and had one of those moments. Well, actually, it was more like 6 minutes of pure bliss that encapsulates the above theory and more.
Trees down on perimiter track
there is a tree down on the perimiter drack just after the hill on the second junction, its not movable, but it is possible to get of and walk around/over it one at a time. Don't come down the hill to fast as its pretty sudden.
