I am doing the Fat Tyre Festival and looking at my calendar this looks to be my only time I have to put in a few laps. All welcomed to join me. The laps should be at a descent pace with breaks in between.

This is a second go since it was too wet on the 6th. Hopefully I will have my bike back as well.

Ride Database Entry: 
Quarry Road Track (Berowra Valley)
Meeting Point: 

End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby

There's basically four sections to this out and back firetrail: Great downhill (Anderson's style) descent that lasts forever, that gets down to a beautiful bridge. Then followed by an equally forever uphill (the erosion on some of the tarseal doesn't help) when we come to a campground. That's before hitting the steepest bit of all, which goes forever. Things start to get a bit easier, as it's only small inclines and declines for 3km before the Quarry Road gate. After turning around, we go off to the left fork at the campground for more small ups and downs.

Ride Database Entry: 
Wingello State Forest
Meeting Point: 

4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.

Show on Google maps: Meeting point. Login or register to get directions.

Last chance to ride the singletrack sections of the fling before the big day.

Aim is to complete some laps of the singletrack with minimal time on the fire trail.

All welcome, not just fling entrants. The tracks at Wingello are great and every rider should experience them. At least the first lap will be "no drop" and after that we will try and get some pace.

I will look to be at the old bike shoppe in Bundanoon at 08:00 for a coffeee and depart at 08:30, so anyone not familiar with the meeting point can meet there.

Late notice ride for tomorrow... I haven't ridden on the dirt for over 2 months so this is going to be slooooow.

Plan is just to trundle out to the end of the Long track and return. Depending on how that goes might also do duck hole + centre, but that is an optional extra only.

Hope this sun lasts, if it's raining I'll be at home on the trainer Sad
