Social
Ourimbah Run
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.
Just a few leisurely paced laps to fill in the time while the wife is in Tuggerah. What more excuse do you need 
Easy Sunday Tour Of The Dam - Cancelled Too Wet.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I am planning on doing 2 laps of the Dam on Sunday morning.
This will be a social paced ride with a few stops to have a look at some of the fun parts like the steps etc. I will probably do the standard lap of the dam first followed by a second lap with a detour of some of the extra legal bits on the other side of wakehurst parkway.
Anyone and everyone is welcome the pace will be determined by who turns up this is not a training ride so expect to stop and look at the scenery a little.
Stretch the legs + Lunch
Terrey Hills Tavern
This will be a easy spin just to keep the legs going. As this is the last weekend before the Angry Doctor I will be taking it easy. This will not be a training paced ride.
Plan is to do sniggle into Duck Holes, then Centre, Perimeter and Long Tracks.
We can keep the stops on the trail at a minimum and then go to the Tavern for lunch and a beer
Sunday - World Cup - car convoy to Canberra
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
Hi all,
** NOTE - NOW LEAVING AT 6:00 am TO ENSURE ENOUGH EATING TIME AND STILL BE AT STROMLO IN TIME **
I will be driving down to Stromlo this Sunday to watch Sam Hill and Nathan Rennie smash the competition. I would be leaving Cremorne quite early, about 6:30 a.m. to be there in time to watch the downhill semis at 10:30.
If anyone else was interested in doing the trip, or eating brekky on the way, please put down your name and we can car convoy down there and turn up together. I need the friends.
Bring your cow bells!
See you out there.
Liam.

Sunday Arvo Training Ride [Terrey Hills]
Starting near the Japanese School (off Booralie Rd, at the corner Echunga / Durunbil Rd) to avoid any muddy bits...Easy to find - just look for the carpark at the end of Echunga Rd)
The sun is back today - finally! Only 2 weeks to the Angry Doctor race - last chance for some training!
I'm going for a spontaneous Terrey Hills training ride on Sunday arvo, starting from the Japanese School on Booralie Rd (Terrey Hills) ~ 2 PM. Riding Perimeter Trail & Long Trail (approx 20 km's return). If we feel up to it, we might do 2 laps / extended version.
According to the NoBMob weather maps the track appears to be RELATIVELY DRY and un-affected by recent rains.
SMS or call me on 0408-123680 if you need more info.

Afternoon Lap
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Just a lap around the dam. I will aim for 2 laps but this is dependant on the weather (ie. begins to rain). The weather is supposed to be clearing tomorrow (sunday) so it shouldn't be a problem. According to the rangers, the track is open and the dam hasn't received much rain over the past couple of days. Keen for anyone to join up for 1 or 2 laps.
If Open and not to wet - Manly Dam - 2 or 3 laps
I am looking at doing 2 or 3 laps without intended stopping other then tackling some problems or practicing skills tomorrow. Social ride but like to get those legs working hard.
I have a 07 Reign 1 and will be at the Hydraulics at 9.30 if is not raining and it doesn't rain to much tonight;
Weather forecast is:
Forecast for Saturday
Just a brief shower or two, more likely around the middle of the day. Fresh southwest to southerly winds, strong and gusty nearer the coast, easing in the evening.
Precis: Brief shower or two. Windy.
An Early Lap
A few people have expressed intrest in my early lap before meeting up with the main ride so here it is.
I am riding to the dam with Gavin and should be there in time to start at 6.15pm if you dont see us by 6.20 start without us and we will catch up. This lap will be a medium pace and will be the standard loop with the aim of getting around in time to meet up with the main ride there wont be any stopping except maybe to have a quick look at the new section.

We will leave early Saturday morning (7am) and return Sunday night (9pm).
