Sat 20th - Red Hill

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all,

This Saturday Greg, Jeff and I will be heading out to Red Hill. Open invite, all are welcome to join:

Where: Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill.
When: 8:30am, Sat 20th May.

Don't be put off by what it says on the write up (which needs updating so I'd better try and get my bearings around here!). This will NOT be a XC or fitness related ride so we won't be doing many Ks and will be stopping regularly to practice skills over the sometimes rather technical terrain.

Greg say's it's a good oppotunity for newbies to learn how to handle roll offs and the like, but don't forget what his idea of a roll off is (something at least as high as your front wheel!). He also said, "I like the idea of being a teacher (Ha Ha)" so be afraid! Eye-wink

Last minute ride on cascades on Sunday 14th May

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hey
I plan on going for a ride down the cascades in St Ives tomorrow. I will be leaving from Douglas St (the fire tral, not the single trail), and will be riding up to the power station in Davidson, and back (obviously). I plan to leave at around 8:45am. My skill level is probably about average.

So yeh, anyone is welcome. I will not be expecting anyone if no-one posts here, so post here if you intend to come. I will check before I leave. I will wait around 5-10min.

It will proceed weather permitting.

Sorry for being so last minute, but yeh, I need a break from work, and I did lots today, so i need a break.

Beginners Saturday 6th May and Sunday 7th May

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all,

I am planning semi-beginners rides for this Sat and Sunday.

Saturday 6th May Cascades - start 8.30am meet at the end of Wyatt St, Belrose. This will be about 2.5 hours and will require some fitness as there are some VERY BIG HILLS (be warned!). But not to worry. You can always walk up the big hills and it will help increase your fitness. This is mostly fire-trail and not very technical although there are some slippery/slidey rocky sections downhill and some loose sand here and there (but not as much as terry Hills).

Sunday 7th May Terry Hills - For those of you who didn't quite get enough of the sand last week, I thought I would go out and give Terry Hills another go. Meet at 8.30am at the Terry Hills shops. This ride is also about 2 hours and most of you know what you are up for.

Sunday 23? Royal National Park?

I won't be riding this Saturday, but anyone else up for something Sunday? I mean, aside from Stuart's usual crazy too early thing? Erm... sorry Stuart Eye-wink

I have to drop down to Alexandria early so figure, why not keep on going and do a trip round the Royal NP?

Any takers?
