Riding in a Sauna!
I was a bit surprised when pulling into Ourimbah today - there were loads of riders around undaunted by the ridiculous heat.
We didn't take note of the thermometer in the car (only one for reference) when we'd done, but after driving a while on the way home it was reading 39C so would guess things were a good bit warmer when it was sat in the Ourimbah parking lot. Thankfully most of Ourimbah is shady - without cover this day would have been brutal (check what happened at Marramarra for that!).
Northern Beaches Hill Fest (Dirtworks training!)
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.
Plan is to the Northern Beaches Hill Fest and add Perimeter, Long Tracks and possibly Oxford Falls.

This will be a semi-serious training ride, planning to pack-in around 70km plus hills.
I haven't actually rode on a lot of the trails so if anyone has and would like to play Tour Guide Barbie that'd be awesome.
Would prefer a small group but anyone not afraid of some serious hard work are more than welcome.
See you in the morning

Terrey Hills Perimeter & Long X 2
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.
Due to my lack of organisation and inability to make a decision I missed out on both of the rides today, therfore I plan to do an early Terrey Hills ride tomorrow. My main aim is to get some km in as I have the BMC Mountains to Beach looming so plan to do about 50km. As I don't know all of the trails here very well this will probably mean Perimeter and Long x 2, a bit repetitive I know so if anybody comes who knows the area better than I am open to change, so long as we get about 50km in.
A Few Good Laps...Damly Man Style...
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
So...Need to go or a ride this weekend, Sat arvo has turned out way too hot so Sunday Morning at the Dam it is...
Bit of a cruise, not super fast, not super slow, see how the mood takes me (and how many beers I get through this evening 
)
Probably just 2 laps, would be good to have some company - not just me & the ipod!!
come on, you know you want to...

V Finished In FIRST place over a minute clear of second.

PDA software MyMotion for GPS route tracking
I was looking for software for free that I could use on my PDA Dopod
D810 aka HTC P3600 which has inbuilt GPS. I came across:
http://users.bigpond.net.au/ian_pendlebury/mymad...
Provides tracking info and data such as altitiude, distance, time etc
unfortunately no HR ability.
Unsure on battery life as can't ride at present due to a hand injury
at the dam but a test in the car with the file saved to a kmz file
and emailed to my PC showed excellent accuracy with distance markers.
