Tentative planning: Awaba night ride tonight

Hi there

I am also up in the hunter this weekend. Never ridden Awaba at night, but was wondering if any one is interested in doing a lap or two of Awaba tonight.

Starting around 6pm.

Any interest ??

Hi All

I went exploring yesterday, first time riding in this area. I rode from Brunkerville on the management trail connecting to Sugarloaf Range Road and descended down to the freeway and wakefield. I rode pretty much out and back. Trail was in good condition, all being rutted from rain but still firm.

Latest installment of trail mapping.

This time it is the trails running from the ridge along Eleebana.

Brown is management trail, orangey and blue stuff is nominally walking and cycling trail (in most cases everything that's in orange is what I reckon would be a waste of time riding but YMMV)

Generally I just ride the fire trail that runs through the middle and continues into Tingara Heights but I decoded to explore what else is around.

Glenrock Saturday Afternoon (12th) or Sunday Morning (13th)

Anyone keen for a spin at Glenrock Saturday afternoon on the 12th June (long weekend)? I was thinking about 2-2:30pm start.

Edit: I could do Sunday morning 9am if it suits

Awaba – single speed gearing

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I am relatively new to the world of single speed riding. But I have entered into the Rocky Trail enduro at Awaba in July. I convinced a mate to join me, and given his complete lack of riding opted for the 4hr solo effort. So given the short(er) format I thought go the SS. I understand there is a bit of a hill to deal with so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions re gearing?

By way of reference I am currently running 32*18 and am happy completing the dam - current SS best lap being 32min 2 sec.

Awaba ride on Saturday

Gauging interest in a ride at Awaba on Saturday.
I cannot ride until around 11am?

Awaba or Glenrock

I am heading up the coast this weekend and should be out either Saturday arvo or Sunday morning (hey maybe both which will solve my problem). If you had to choose, Awaba or Glenrock, which one is better.

Anyone interested in joining me that has a preference?

Cheers

Glenrock loop suggestions?

I'm hoping to take my wife up to Glenrock for a cruisy explore on Sunday morning and was just wondering if anyone with experience has a loop that they would like to recommend to me? Are there any arrows or signposts there?
I've downloaded all of the NobMob maps to my Edge 705 and would like to piece a bit of a ride together before we head off.... I think I would be more popular if I know where I'm going.
