Anyone up for Awaba Saturday

With the 8 1/4 hour on the 18th anyone keen on some laps of Awaba Saturday. I'm thinking around 10am start. The laps will have a break between them but looking at doing the red loop in low 40's so a consistent pace.
Cheers
Brian

Hi All
My wife surprised me for my birthday yesterday with a new mountain bike and would love to get involved with some riding.
Is there any times/courses/groups for old outer condition riders wishing to have some fun.
I live pretty close to Leggy/Glenrock rode there a lot when I was a lot younger but things have changed since the late 70s/80s

glenrock trails

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

stumbled across glen rock today(am staying with a friend at cowrie hole and went for an urban ride,ended up at a trailhead somehow...)so started riding it without realising where i was.Another rider gave me a brief description of the place-thankyou dude on the cannon dale hard tail w head shock ,your directions were idiot(me)proof and i found my way easily.Part of the reason of coming to newcastle was to ride these trails for the first time ,guessing i might have covered a third of it today.not overly techy,but how cool ripping down single track with glimpses and some times full blown views

Came across this cycling event being held on Newcastle foreshore and King Edward Park.

Are some MTB events - a slalom race.

Saw my first trials bike in Newcastle, yesterday. It was on the back of a 4by, for some home builder. It was an Echo Bike http://www.echobike.com/. Looked nice. Made me want one. Anyone seen anyone do any trials riding in Newcastle? I never have.

Lets talk about Shaft

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

So, Shaft is looking pretty flogged. Pretty significant braking ruts at the entry of a few of the corners at various places. Needing some pretty substantial maintenance, although i'm not convinced that maintenance is all that it needs.

What say you good glenrockians
