Menai not so mad!

When: 
Wednesday, 25 August, 2010 - 19:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

OPPOSITE THE ENTRANCE TO ANSTO ON THE NEW ILLAWARRA ROAD, LUCAS HEIGHTS.

This will be a XC type ride where the pace will be brisk and stops will be limited. There will be no North shore action and for once armor is not advised.

However, for those that don't know Menai, there will be technical ups and downs, there are a number of rocky sections and new comers to night riding might find this a bit tough.

Hope to see a few of you there.

Chris

PLEASE NOTE: I'M STARTING FROM A DIFFERENT LOCATION TO THE NOBMOB RIDE DATA BASE. WE'LL BE MEETING OPPOSITE THE ENTRANCE TO ANSTO ON THE NEW ILLAWARRA ROAD. PLEASE CALL IF YOU NEED DIRECTIONS.

Saturday morning Oxy fun!

When: 
Saturday, 21 August, 2010 - 09:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Oxford Falls (Morgan Road)
Meeting Point: 

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.

-33.722089,151.228969 (Morgan Road)

So, I've got a few spare hours on Saturday morning, and hopefully taking an overseas friend out for a ride. I figured I'd post the ride up, so that you know about it!

Anyone's welcome to come along - definitely the more the merrier when Oxford Falls is concerned Smiling And having enough for shuttling makes it all the better!

Riding is definitely on the FR side of DH, and you'll definitely want a bike on the bigger end of the scale.

Let me know if you need any more info!

Sorry, have had to cancel. Riding Sunday instead, but not sure where...

The Oaks
Meeting Point:

-33.769197, 150.622262 (Glenbrook Station Carpark)

OK guys, time for an Oaks adventure. BM Epic and I have been talking about this for a while as there have been some epic group rides on this trail in the past.

There is a train from penrith at 1840, getting into Glenbrook at 1853 and Woodford at 1924. Pace shall be social-ish.

For those training it from Glenbrook, meet at the station carpark.

Social Sunday @ Yellomundee

When: 
Sunday, 15 August, 2010 - 08:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Yellomundee Regional Park
Meeting Point: 

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.

-33.663669, 150.656361 (Hawkesbury Rd)

I posted a ride at Ourimbah without checking if there was a race on there which there is, so I thought Yellomundee might be some fun, cause i have not ridden there for a year or so. Lets hope not much rain fall between now and the weekend.
I would like to get 3 laps in (not sure of the distance at the moment). It is social, but not for beginners.
I can offer a lift for one person from around Top Ryde, Homebush area.
Bring some snacks and drinks as we can have a quick pit stop at the cars each time round if need be.

Social Sunday @ Ourimbah

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 15 August, 2010 - 07:50
Ride Database Entry: 
Ourimbah State Forest
Meeting Point: 

Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).

Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.

-33.275884,151.377053 (Red Hill Road)

Social and fun is the theme, however this is not for beginners. I hope to do 3 laps, depending on the timing because i need to back in Sydney by lunch time.
For anyone who has not ridden there, its a great loop through the state forrest that is usually around 12kms or so depending on the condition. Majority is single track, it has some hills of course but not too nasty and some excellent decents. Its not very techical and there are some chicken runs around the harder stuff.
We can stop at the cars after each lap to get some food or drink for the next lap.
