Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
I'm lucky enough to be heading up to lake Macquarie for Saturday night and have decided that a long awaited ride at Awaba is on the cards. Having never ridden there before, I'm keen as to discover the goodness created by the good folk up North.
If there is anyone who wants to join me or has any info on best tracks, I'd be keen to hear from you.
I'll be in a blue VW transporter van riding green cannondale.
Thanks Mike.
Quarry Road Track: The famous waterbar punctuated descent
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
This ride quite literally has its ups and downs. The upside is the great downhill blasts on either side of the creek, but of course, what goes down must go back up 
But despite this, you'll get your fitness workout, as well as have some great views of Berowra Valley Regional Park, as well as see the grand old bridge at the bottom.
Won't go to much more detal - just look at the description of the track on the site... it says all you need to know.
BE WARNED: YOU NEED A GOOD DEGREE OF FITNESS TO ENJOY THIS TRACK!!
But once you can do the uphills, it's all great fun 
A Dam Good Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I haven't done this ride before, so am hoping someone might be off work/school that day (I'm trying to clock up my hours on the bike before I start year 12 the week after).
I've heard it's badly signposted, so I need someone who knows the track well to show me the way... I want to do this at a farily rapid pace, but not at breakneck speed, since I don't know this track yet. Hoping to do two or three laps to familiarize myself with it.
*NOTE THAT THE TIME OF THE RIDE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS I BECOME MORE INFORMED OF THE PREDICTED WEATHER - I DON'T WANT TO BE RIDING IN HOT WEATHER.

Corner of The Gully Road and Berowra Waters Road
SADLY, THE WEATHER IS TOO UNPLEASANT AS OF SUNDAY NIGHT, AND SEEING AS THE TRACKS DON'T WEATHER WELL (AS IN, GET FULL OF PUDDLES), I'M GOING TO HAVE TO POSPONE IT TO ANOTHER DAY
If you went with me a couple of weeks ago, it's the same as what we did then.
JetBlack 24 Hours Sydney 2011

Del Rio Resort is on Riverside Drive, Webbs Creek, NSW.
We opened registration on Friday and they starting to come in already.
New in 2011 will be a 6+6 hour option and team sizes are solo and teams of 2,3 and 4.
Don't wait to long especially if you want to book a cabin. We reserved the entire resort and it will fill up very fast.
There is the boathouse and the cabin which house 32 and 20 people - if you guys want to get organised and get maybe 3-4 families together and book those it might work out really cheap.
Rider cap is 600 across both 6+6 and 24 hour races.

Quarry Road Track - that has its ups and downs

End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
Just quickly cruising down this track to start the day, and not-so-quickly cruising (or more so CURSING) back up. Wouldn't mind some company.
It's just firetrail, but the great waterbar-punctuated downhills make it great fun, and the not-so-fun ascent is nevertheless good for fitness.
The old bridge down the bottom is beautiful, and a highlight of the ride, as well as a couple of other nice rest areas to break the climb.
Night ride - Knapsack
