GNR Excursion
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Keen to get out for a longer ride this Sunday as part of prep for my first Dirtworks. It's a training ride for me but I won't be going very fast (because I am not as fit as most of you!).
Planned route is the same as taken with Daniel and Joe back in January, that is, out to ten mile hollow and then down Simpson's track and back up Donny's track, before heading back down over Clare's Bridge, back along the GNR to the top of Devine's Hill, and if feeling strong enough down Shepherd's Gully. Should work out at between 50 and 60ks:
The Big O Training Ride mk II
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. I think they prefer us to park up on the second clearing these days???
Starting some longer rides in preparation for the Dirtworks. Looking to knock out 5 laps with minimal stops but may settle for more or less. This ride is about building a little bit of endurance back up and getting the feel of the trails again on Shrek the Trek that hasn't been ridden since the Scott 24hr. Not too fussed on pace at the moment so more than happy for people to come and go as they please.
Sub 33... finally
Thought I'd have another go this morning, see if I could get a clearer run at it and have a go at putting in a sub 33. It was a cleaner lap but I didn't exactly shave as much time off from my effort yesterday as I thought I would. Just goes to show, i'm not much of a sprinter - but happy to go sub 33 
Now, wouldn't it be nice to go sub 30 before the year is out

Glenrock Volunteer Maintenance Day Pics from March 13, 2010
I thought this may be of interest to you guys. Of late we have been getting very active with the NPWS up here in actually getting in and maintaining the trail network.
We worked on a very difficult section of trail near the Treatment works known as “Shit Happens” and were working in conjunction with the NPWS, who have done a lot of machine work so far and will continue with this as an ongoing project.
Hot Laps - Suggestion
Do you think it would be a good idea to have a field in the Hot Laps section where the type/model/etc of bike can be indicated?
I'd like to know what hot laps are done on what bikes. I think it would be an interesting comparison.

Hot Laps
'Hot Laps' is the tongue-in-cheek name for keeping a record of your personal best times on various well known rides. As a bonus, posting them here allows you to compare these with your fellow riders.
Below is a list of 'Challenges' and the best times for each. These are the places we all know and love - just another reason to get out there more often!
Rules
- This is mostly on an honesty system, post your best time in a Hot Lap content type to have it auto-magically included in the tables.
Terrey Hills update for 16 Mar
A bulldozer has been along the "Long Trail" and back towards the golf course on "Perimeter track". The Long trail is the worst affected it's like a ploughed field. Its very slow - the good news is when it packs down there are more water bars to hop off.
Do you have more information?
