The Right Result
Just a quick update on the results from tonight's Council meeting at Hornsby.
The Old Man's Valley trail complex was approved with all the key sections intact ... unanimously. Congrats to Sydney North Off-Road Cyclists and Trail Care's Dr Simon Kean for their outstanding work with Council to make this happen.
First 100 done
Got to St Albans early arvo and set up tent at Steves camp spot. Nice to get there early and relax a bit; brought some pasta and banana bred so fully prepped. Got to start line just in time for the first wave, quick piss then all set. The road leg was a nice warm up before one of many steep hills. All up I had a solid ride apart from almost falling off the floating bridge and almost dying up the next hills. Got in at 5.05 so fully stoked and looking forward to next race.
Suggestions for a long-ish training ride this weekend
After the Convict 100 the other weekend I've signed up for the Husky 100 too! I did get a little lower back pain during the convict so had the bike fitted properly today and made a few changes.
So, with half a mind on trying out the new measurements, and half a mind on a good training ride, I'm looking for some local options for sunday arvo. I had thought of just doing 4 laps of the dam, but decided I should be more adventurous. I've done long / perimeter a few times up at Terrey Hills - any suggestions on linking these up with some other tracks up that way to make a 3 ish hour ride??
wtf is a sound bite ?
havnt timed myself in a while so decided t go for it ,just about killed me with no warm-up ! sub 30 fuck yeah !
Red Hill - 8:30am - Saturday
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
On Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill, near the gate/trail head.
Heading to Red Hill for some trail riding this coming Saturday, so please join me if you are keen. I know the place pretty well so I can be your guide if needed. 
Rough plan is to ride the "Main Trail" to the rock lookout ("Red Hill View"), then south around the ridge, through "Mr Motorcross" area to the "Rim Ride" sniggle. Then ride some of the other sniggle between the two main trails ("Corner Cut"/"No Name") on the way back to the cars. Something like that anyway.
Cheers,

The Oaks, Woodford to Glenbrook with Lights
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Glenbrook station carpark.
Just a social ride, not a race. I have not done much riding the last 6 months so going up the hills wont be quick, but going down should be fun. Not really for beginners, but if you starting out and want to get lights (good lights) and have a go then send me a PM to discuss. Gets pretty cold this time of year so make sure your rugged up to begin with and then be able to shred off some gear once you hit a hill or two.

Stolen Bikes
Hi Guys,
Just a bit of a whinge - I have just had two bikes stolen from my garage in Collaroy - both 2012 white Specialized Epic Expert carbon 29s. The garage was locked and the bikes chained but but had little effect against bolt cutters. Another guy in the building lost a superfly and a giant.
The Specialized are quite distinct bikes (especially the XL) and I have never seen any out around the northern beaches. If you do happen to see them, please let me know.
Cheers
