All Aboard for Appin!
Never been to Appin, and I hear it is pretty good. So, who coming? Looks like a very nice area based on the photos. Even those Cannondale boys seem to enjoy it, so anyone can do it!! 
I am not fussed about rider numbers for this, so the more the merrier. Does anyone know how technical the trails are? Some of the photos look as though there will be some walking parts if you are a noob. Maybe call this one intermediate skill level? Anyway, best use your own judgement, unless some of the veterans want to enlighten us.
Wed night ride- CANCELLED
Terrey Hills Tavern
Well to keep Christine's alcohol intake up, I have posted a night ride for Wednesday. The weather has been a bit average the last few days so we may have to ride Duck and Centre which are usually a bit drier.
Way too much rain.....how annoying!
TONIGHT: Social Night Ride: Terrey Hills [Perimeter + Long Trail]
Terrey Hills Tavern - Eastern Car park
Social night ride - Perimeter & Long trail [Everyone welcome - paced to accommodate newbies, too!]
Moderate pace...still recovering from the MTB overnighter...
...plus we can give an update on all the anecdotes from the fabulous Blue Mountains trip, the epic single tracks and funny campfire tales...(and plan the next one)
Naturally we'll have a cleansing ale at the Tavern afterwards (since we missed out on Bernd's homebrew!!!)
See you this eve...

Cascades night ride
Carrying on from last Wednesday... From Wyatt Ave, aiming to go down Heath Track (missing the now blocked little bit of single track) all the way to the bottom, through the creek and up Quarry climb, round the top or ridge top track, along the road (hope that's OK at night) to the start of Cascades track, down there with the great water bars and then up the other side to the start. Would be nice to keep a fairly decent pace, but not after setting an records.
Ride of Silence
Hyde Park, Sydney City
This isn't an off road ride but it may be of interest to some here.
See http://www.rideofsilence.org/ and http://www.sydneycyclist.com/forum/topic/show?id...
Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
Ourimbah State Forest
As the single tracks are being closed around our ears we may have to travel slightly further out to train for the Angry Doctor. Aim to get at least 2 laps of the XC course and perhaps the downhill as well. This means The Valley, Big Gully Road, Jurassic Park, Potters Gully Road, Five Ways, The Roller Coaster.. it's all on the trail and all brilliant.
Aiming to ride at a fair pace, but the main idea is to get the single track skills up a bit. I'm happy for anyone to come along.

SEASONS Screening in Sydney
Dendy Cinema, East Circular Quay
Seasons is the new movie from The Collective, following a few riders and their riding through 4 seasons. Definitely worth seeing up on a big screen.

Pre-newbie ride warmup
Terry Hills Shops
Hey guys,
This is for those who feel like a bit of a spin before the newbies ride.
I'll be doing Duck Holes and Centre track leaving at 7:45 on the dot.
This will make sure I'm back in time to the Terry Hills Shops for the newbies ride. http://nobmob.com/node/4940
