Yellowmundee
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
Merry Chirstmas Nobs. Jeeten and I wanted to ride somewhere new and exciting...Yellowmundee got the pick. We'll be going for a casual ride and we'd be happy to have some more company. However, the pace will be steady and riders should have moderate experience so we can all enjoy the technical parts of the trail. I have room to give one person a lift out there from around the northern beaches.
TH cobweb clearing
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Just going for a first ride of the holidays, and a last ride before the debauchery of Christmas day.
Nothing too structured, either duck holes/center/waratah or maybe perimeter/long or a combination.
Pre BBQ Ride @ MD
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
a quick lap at 8 and a social one after....
Red Hill, the place to be
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
Greetings!
Great news, we have a consensus for a Red Hill ride. You know the drill, parking is on Lady Penrhyn Drive. I will be there in a blue Mazda. Even Beany is sure to be there.
So let the fun begin! Anyone that wishes may decorate their steed with a Christmas decoration of their preference. All are welcome. Santa suits are to be encouraged, but you may find it a tad hot.
HO HO HO!! On Rudolph!! On Blitzen!!...
Midday Ride
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I've finished uni and have until February until i start my job. So i have all the time in the world to go riding. I was thinking 1 or 2 laps of the dam. During the day is better so we don't have to contend with peak hour traffic.
if anyone has a better suggestion on what time to ride, feel free to make a suggestion.
Social night ride + Dinner
Terrey Hills Tavern
Well I thought I may leave the Red Hill night ride for another time...perhaps next year.
Instead how about a cruisy social ride as the year winds down and grab dinner after at the Tavern.
The ride will only be short at around an hour so we can get back in time for some food.
If it rains as it is forecast to, then we go straight to the food part
Two Laps Of Manly
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Just a couple of early Sunday morning laps of the dam not fast just out to have a nice ride.
** Cancel'd....no go... **
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Manly Dam is closed!
we may ride TH , Duck and centre Track or, or....
Lane Cove Friday Arvo Newbie Ride
Meet "At the Seat" South End Kissing Point Road. The seat is the picnic seat down in the valley next to the concrete cycleway (near the water crossing). If you can come at a later time then please come along. We often come past the seat so you can join in when we see you. The seat has a large sign near it and is surrounded by wood chip from parts of the huge fallen tree next to it. I'll take a photo of the seat.
The concrete cycleway links the two sides. Park Kissing Point Rd (north side) or Vimeria Road (South side). Watch out for the scummers in their latte sipping tights as they think that trying to break the sound barrier on the cycleway is cool.
Come along. Legal track only, avoiding big hills. XC style riding. Friends and I ride here quite a bit, come along and see our preferred route. We take it nice and easy early on. Being mature aged, we like to warm up a bit. Lane Cove holds water after rain, if it has rained during the day it is off. A very small sprinkle is ok. We ride instead on trails where the water runs off the trail instead of sitting in the middle of it.
Ourimbah
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
***TIME CHANGED TO 11AM TO CATER FOR ANY JUMP TRAINING PEOPLE TO COME UP. RIZ!***
I didn't make it on Wednesday night and seeing as Harry is doing his chops about it I want to see the track. And after last weekend in the Blueys I'm PUMPED for singletrack!
I haven't done it before so will be exploratory pace (well, the first lap anyway.....)
If there's any racing going on there that I don't know about please let me know, otherwise I'll be there unless it's too wet.
Meet in the larger car park listed above (I don't know it but I'm sure it's easy).
