Pain in the Back...
Hi all,
the Back Injury is "back"!!!
Yesterday afternoon I picked something up and bang she's back. (disc extrusion at L5/S1)
Physio today confirmed my old Back problem, which I had last in August 2006 after the Ourimbah day.
more Physio tomorrow and Saturday and a lot of specific exercises there after.
MTB rides? Not for a few weeks..... I must be fit for my 3 rides I have planed in Germany beginning of October... on the N1!!!
Bloody stupid Back Injury!

Ourimbah School Holiday Special
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. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
If you're on Holidays this week, head out to Ourimbah for a few fun laps of the XC Course. The track is in great condition at the moment - even after the rain. Will be a very social pace. The Drop is off-limits sorry.

Social Ride At Manly In The Dark
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.
A social paced lap of Manly at night this is a mountain bike ride with some nice technical challenges especially at night this outing is not for beginners even at the slower social pace keep in mind that Terry Hills might be a better ride for you if your skills are not quite there yet. The pace will be social anyone wanting a harder hit out should arrive for the earlier fast lap with no stops.
Bring along a beer or in my case a Ginger beer for the usual after ride analysis and chat.

SOCIAL Night Ride [@ Terrey Hills]

Naturally we'll have a cleansing ale at the Tavern afterwards.

See you on Wednesday...

Single track training
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Hazelbrook train station carpark on Railway parade, near Higgs place.
This is planned to be fairly constant single track riding to practice your skills, improve your fitness and have a bunch of fun before the 24 hour and the Fling, both of these races have heaps of great single track so you owe it to yourself to get out there. The pace is planned to be medium to quick and as always we'll will wait at the next corner or top of hill to regroup. If you are unfit this ride is unsuitable. We will be doing mostly single track but throwing a bit of technical climbing and descent.

Lithgow explore
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Valley Drive, Lithgow
Who's up for a good 'ol explore of the technical riding around Hassans Wall and also the Donnybrook downhill trail at Lithgow?
The ride will be of the more technical in nature. Although my description of "downhill" is a little off - they are not actually a downhill race track at all... but in fact are excellent fun as you blast down a long and flowing technical trail. There are some fun bits to stop and play on along the way. It is some of the best trails I have ever ridden.
