The Oaks update for 29 Aug
Good condition. A few small sandy patches and maybe a little dusty on the firetrail. The climb out is still good fun.

Marramarra NP - the brave or the stupid
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Bloodwood Road, Fiddletown heads up to the National Park. There's a sharp right bend by Marramarra Ridge Trail, with Coba Point Fire Trail shortly after (the proceeding sharp left). There's parking by either trail which are less than 1km apart, but the area by Coba Point Fire Trail is the go.
I intend meeting at the Marramarra Ridge junction, though I don't fancy driving down the dirt road, so will park where the sealed road ends and ride the rest of the way.
My plan is to hit the grand loop of the Smugglers descent and enormous climb up from the creek. If we aren't dead from that ordeal, having some action on the Coba Ridge track (which resembles the Great Northern Road) could hit the spot.
There are several detours that can be taken if desired; just must work out which ones to take. This is not a ride for the shy, as it will test your handling skills in many forms, but if they are good, this makes a great ride, and there are many long sweeping tracks to break up these difficult sections.
Call me Captain Slow!
This was part of an extended ride from home to DH + C + P + L and back totalling about 60km to try out a nutrition strategy and eating on the bike.
Seemed to come together OK apart from feeling like gagging after downing the first gel at the start of Long trail, and discovering that otherwise yummy muesli bars taste and feel like cardboard when our mouth is dry and you're trying to keep up your pace!

Lane Cove National Park update for 29 Aug
Rode various bits of LCNP including Terry's Ck track (to the M2) and Devlins Ck track, plus the main spine and all good. Very few wet patches, a couple of stinky bits where the sewer pipes are obviously leaking. Plenty of bikes and walkers out this morning.

Thanks Brad!
Had an excellent 'Trailbreakers' skills session with Brad Mertens today. Spent the morning focusing on track stands, ratcheting, slow turns and bunny hops. We also spent time looking at bike set-up - I received some great tips on tire pressure, suspension set-up and tire choice.
After lunch, the focus shifted to cornering, technical drops and climbs.
