THE MONT - do you need some practice??
Majura Pines
Hey you!
You look like you need a practice ride around Majura Pines before completing The Mont 24hr. 
So here you go...
This will be especially useful for those that have never been to Majura before. This will let you get used to the feel of the place. And with good reason too... Majura is totally awesome!! 
It will take some serious discipline on race day to not stop on your lap and do the jumps and roll offs.
XC meets DH @ Oxford Falls
Morgan Road, Belrose. At the second 90 degree right hand bend in the road. There's an area just before you can park and a firetrail heading off to the left.
I know the boys who had a day last week on the big bikes would like to go back to oxford falls downhill. I thought it would be good to organise a ride for the people who fancied a cross country blast around the, well? Cross country course! Then meet up with the guys on the other ride(and by guys I mean men and women) for some photo ops and a bit of a laugh down the downhill course. I'll even lend my bike to anyone who wants a blast!
Mooney Mooney Creek
Given news of Old Pacific Highway closure... Instead of heading down there, take the Peats Ridge Road exit from the freeway. Head left up Peats Ridge Road for a few Ks then right along Brieses Road and meet at the end.
Have heard good things about this ride and would like to check it out. Any one keen to play tour guide??
Meeting time can be changed if it doesn't suit the majority.
Hope to see you there
Berowra Valley and Castle Hill (Fred Caterson Reserve)
Hornsby
Big training ride epic...
Okay I know this sounds like a big ride...thats right its going to be 60km of joy!
After the Galston Gorge, we hit tar on Quarry Rd and head for Castle Hill via Round Corner on the Old North Rd, we get off at Gilbert Rd and take some parks, and backstreets to get to Fred Caterson Reserve.
There are some hidden gems of single tracks here, plus the trails within the reserve proper and the BMX track, which is always good for burning excess energy.
Kincumber ride Sunday the 15th
Kincumber Reserve
Alright! Mind is made up!!
Kincumber it is!
The "new track advisors" are telling me it has both nice XC and DH parts. For this ride I would like to do more of the XC and actually do some 'riding' 
.
Meaning yes we will do the DH jumps (or at least two of us and it's not me ) and tricks but won't spend much time on playing and picture taking at each spot.
(Of course only to have more time for lunch after
I hope that suits everyone.
Can't wait!!!
Cheers

Lisdale XC
In lieu of the postponed Mini DW another plan is here...
Lisdale State Forest. XC track, plus some exploration of the stuff south of the highway. Word is there's loads of sniggle in there. Looking at a map there's plenty of fire trail at least, so we can ride that for some Ks then cross to the XC circuit for some fun later.
Forecast at this point is cold (literally freezing early on), but sunny later. Max 12C, so bring your layers.
GNR Fun (was Mini DW)
Wisemans Ferry. Meet on this side of the East ferry. Park near little shop close to the ferry crossing.
Slight change of plan...
Not many people put up their hand for a Mini DW (read: "epic") and after a bit of chat on recent rides, and the fact distance events are over for a while we decided to tone this one down a bit. The new route becomes:
Meet Wisemans Ferry. Cross on East Ferry. Ride up Devines Hill (see below).
Decision 1: Ride down then up Shepherds Gully... votes on the day win Think ahead (see Decision 2) before voting
Ride the 'main event' - brilliant technical trail to junction with Western Commission Track.
Kincumba downhill and exploration goodness : )
End of Bronzewing Dr, Kincumber.
It appears we have interest in checking out Kincumba Mountain. Sounds like a nice place to ride. I am always open for riding "new trails". And it looks like we could probably fit in a couple of laps too, if it only takes 20 minutes to ride back up to the top. I will be happy to lead from the back!
The approximate area to ride, as shown on Google Maps, is:
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?ie=UTF8&ll=-33.45...
Blue Mountains: Andersons & Oaks.
Glenbrook Train Station, 08:15am
As previously posted a big day out of fun training for Coffs Harbour...
Katoomba to Narrowneck (36Km) - This option canned
Andersons from Wentworth Falls (40km to Woodford)
Oaks from Woodford (30km to Glenbrook)
Should have a good level of fitness and ability to keep up all day.
Pace should be medium to allow all day riding.
Be prepared to buy lunch somewhere and bring plenty food water and warm clothing.
Usual bike kit applies.
Hope to see you there
Cheers

Oxford Falls
Oxford Falls
Having ridden Oxford Falls on the weekend and enjoyed it, I am thinking another tour is in order. It has certainly been a while - a month or two? And it seems to be the trail in the best condition too.
I intend this ride to be for all comers. So this means you!
If we experience rain on the day, I am unlikely to go. Too much bike maintenance is required. But I will post a cancellation on the morning if this happens. Meet at the dirt carpark on Morgan Road.
I hope to see you all there. Call my mobi on 0438 885 410 with lateness.
