Riding with pros
I could make this a single word post - "Hurts!"
When I saw who was coming on this ride it was a bit scary, but aside from some cramp in the right calf it was rather enjoyable.
Things started out sedate enough (if you can call riding Tavern to bottom of Duck Hole in 20 min sedate) but at the bottom of the climb to Centre Woz & Shaun were off like crazies with Steve and Supagav in pursuit. Thankfully Damien is on a single speed so kept me company up here.
Ourimbah State Forest - Sun 31st Aug
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.
One week before the Angry Doctor, so aiming to have a semi-hard (way-hey!) ride, perhaps 4 laps of the main XC loop to get some sniggle skills practice and then perhaps an explore or some unknown (to me) trails, and/or some downhill fun.
The weather looks a little undecided coming up the weekend at the moment but the track does deal with the wet quite well (the grave yard is still off limits I believe making the lap less than 10km's). That said we will need to get a better idea before heading out.

Hemi-roid ride. Pre-social ride lap of Long & Perimeter tracks..
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terry Hills Tavern, eastern carpark, Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084
If anyone wants to do a bit more than the social ride but doesn't want to join the 'Roids on their 'antisocial' ride (or can't because they're at the group size limit), I'm doing a non stop medium paced lap of Long/Perimeter tracks before joining up with the social ride, wherever I bump into them on the way back, for a second (more socially paced) lap.
Ourimbah State Forest - This weekend
With lots of people away this weekend, is anyone keen for a few laps of Ourimbah State Forest, perhaps Saturday?
Majura or elsewhere this weekend
With all the goings on in C'berra this weekend
I was wondering if anyone will be riding Majura or anywhere else Saturday or Sunday
Angry Doctor 100km Entry for Sale (including Accommodation with NOBMOBers)
I have just come down with the flu so am pulling out of the race. I have a 100km ticket (can possibly downgrade to the 50km) and have paid for accommodation with the NOBMOB crew ($40). I had orgainised to get a lift down with Rob (sharing costs) so this option MAY be available too.
Stretch the legs + Lunch
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills Tavern
This will be a easy spin just to keep the legs going. As this is the last weekend before the Angry Doctor I will be taking it easy. This will not be a training paced ride.
Plan is to do sniggle into Duck Holes, then Centre, Perimeter and Long Tracks.
We can keep the stops on the trail at a minimum and then go to the Tavern for lunch and a beer
