Manly Dam & Bantry Bay Night Ride (Wed 9th April) "CANCELLED"
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
CANCELLED. The track would be to wet regardless if it clears up this afternoon.
This ride is not really for the beginner as Banty Bay is technical enough in daylight let alone night.
Good lights and burn time required also.
I probably have 1:45 burn time so may have to hug the Ay-Up equipped riders for the final leg home. (Oh The Love)
FINALLY: All to bring a beer or two for a social chat after the ride. (Compulsory)
The regular night ride is back!
The tavern of course!
Hi Everyone!
Okay time to go for a nice spin on a Tuesday night (sorry Buck I can't do Wednesdays), no training, no fast riding. Just a cruise up to the end of the long trail and back to the pub!
Bring your lights too!

Andersons & The Oaks
Glenbrook train station carpark to catch the 6.53am train dont forget to change your clock 1 hour backwards from current daylight savings time.
This will be a medium to quick paced training ride with the dirtworks in mind so there will be minimal stops and plenty of mashing up the hills (for me anyway on the single speed) I believe it is about 60km so you will need to be able to do that sort of distance with relative ease.
Meet at Glenbrook station carpark with plenty of time in hand to get ready and organized to catch the train now at 6.53am to Wentworth Falls from there I will need a guide as last time couldnt find Andersons and spent the day looking for it (would of helped if I had remembered to bring the directions).
Terrey Hills + West Head
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Craig & I are planning an afternoon blast around Duck Holes, Warimoo, Centre & Terrey Hills (Perimeter + Long) Thursday arvo.
The route is most likely going to be same as this:
http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/5067894
We will be aiming for virtually zero stops and total time out of less than 4 hours. Depending on how that goes we might even tag a visit to Duffys Trail on too.
It's a bit of an unconventional schedule (early thursday arvo - yay! 
) but anyone looking for a long ride at decent pace is welcome to come along.
Terry Hills - Wednesday Night Ride
Terry Hills Tavern.
Manly Dam - Friday - NOW CASCADES
Is actually the Ralston Av gate.
Due to weather I am going to stay off the Dam and head to Cascades for some hill training. Showers will probably persist through the day but I am going anyway.
Start point will be end of Ralston Ave (crn Elm).
Will certainly do a gate to gate run.
2 laps of the gate to gate basically which will extend ride out to about 2.5 hours if I am as fit as I think I am.
Changed time to AM as a space was cleared on the calendar.
Manly Dam fast 2 lap ride before church.
I know its good Friday and all but planning to get a ride in before family and other commitments.
Easter saturday, OURIMBAH DH sessions *CANCELLED TOO DUE TO WEATHER
have to do lisdale another time, too far to drive for possibility of rain, but with just a sprinkle predicted, its off to ourimbah instead..as always, all welcome
Dirtworks training ride - canned
Training ride close to home for Dirtworks designed to test the nutrition, fluids, spares and legs. Plan to do 60+Km at a fair pace.
Meet at Terrey Hills and do the venerable long perimeter track, duck ponds, centre track, then waratah, salvation and towlers bay and back via road to centre track for the run into Terrey Hills.
This course will provide a good mix of terrain with a good hill climbing challenge at towlers bay towards the end of the journey and also be quite a few kay's all up.
Happy to consider other tracks in the mix for the day.
Ourimbah XC Easter Monday
Al, who a few of us met at the Menai ride, wants some nob mobbers along on a ride he's doing with a few of his mates. Will be a medium pace around the XC course, or faster for those that want. Maybe even a DH hill run if there's a few takers (but leave the DH bike at home- primarily XC).
Womerah Range Training Ride
West Wisemans Ferry. Turn left bottom of the hill. There's a small parking area I hope we can all fit in!
Just what it says on the related forum topic. Wanted to get back and look at the last section (this makes up roughly Km 72-92) of the 100Km Dirtworks course but with fresh mind and body. The plan is to meet at the West ferry (turn left, not right bottom of the hill), leave cars there then cross on the ferry riding the 5Km or so to bottom of the climb so as to be warm for that. Then ride the Womerah Range trail, turn round and ride back.
