Perimeter + Long + St Ives Singletrack Return
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.
Well I've given up setting a rider numbers limit on these as they seem kinda popular!
Perimeter NPWS trailworks are still in progress but we can work around that.
Note that I've marked this as a training ride. We have the option of breaking up into 2 groups if it helps take the pressure off the less fit and the more fit want to keep going.
I'd ask that people please be considerate and inspect all their kit to ensure it is in proper working order so that we minimise difficulties due to mechanicals.
(I hope I haven't jinxed myself now )
See you Sunday!

During his tenure, BNSW was widely considered to be at its most effective in cycling advocacy.
