Wingello
4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
Back to Wingello on Sunday.
There is a few of us going down there, and the focus is to work on finding some speed through the singletrack sections. Not so much fireroad smashing this time.
We'll probably ride the red loop twice through, and be hitting a few sections really fast. Something like 4 or 5 x 5mins efforts through the singletrack.
Its still gonna be a swift ride overall. Happy for people to come along and work on polishing the skills a bit....
If you are worried about pace, flick me a pm.
CCOMTB XC Round 2
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Clarinda Track Friday evening
Corner of Galston and Somerville Roads (Traffic Lights)
Quick cruise around local firetrail to relieve the week's pressures. Check the track's page - it's exactly what the ride will consist of.
Am planning to stop to take track photos so I can upload them into the gallery
Knapsack Night Ride
Glenbrook Oval, Hare St, Glenbrook NSW. Near the skate park. Ride down Moore Street to the start of trail that leads into the main park around the gate.
We ask visitors to please park here to not affect the residents. Plenty of parking plus amenities.
Quick night ride bash around knapsack
Back in the saddle, Perimeter & Long
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Finally, the Doc has given me the all clear to get back in the saddle after a 4 month recovery so picking an easy track to ease back into it. Just going to do Perimeter and Long out and back at a steady pace. Probably about 1hr 20min return to carpark. Anyone welcome to join, I am just happy to get back on the bike
Mont Training: Hill Repeats at Terrey Hills
Although we don't normally ride this trail on it's own, with a bit of road work it makes a nice loop from Terrey Hills shops (on Booralie Road) then onto Centre Track and back along the road to the shops.
That's the same as the more standard Terrey Hills rides.
After a warmup ride down the Duck Holes trail to McCarr's Creek Rd, we'll turn around and do 4 to 5 repetitions of 5 minute climbs back up Duck Holes, followed by a cruise out to Perimiter and Long and possibly a diversion to Cowan, at endurance pace.
The goal here is to get our climbing legs ready, as the trails at Kowan are supposed to have a few more climbs than the previous venue.
