Wisemans Ferry ride
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Wisemans Ferry ride. ie old North Road to the Buddhist Temple and back.
It is about 30km out and back and is a mildly technical ride. Great fun and spectacular terrain.
Lane Cove - Social Ride
Creek crossing between bottom of Kissing Point Road and Vimiera Road.
Meet "At the Seat" South End Kissing Point Road.
The seat is the picnic table down in the valley next to the concrete cycleway, near the water crossing at Browns Waterhole. If you can come at a later time then please come along. We come back to the seat about every hour so you can join in then if ya like.
Legal track only, avoiding big hills. XC style riding.
Some people park on Kissing Point Road, Turramurra
OR
Some people park on Vimiera Road Macquarie Uni Side.
The concrete cycleway links the two sides.
[Mod: fixed broken links and meeting location]
Menai midweek
opposite ansto
I am not sure if the trails will be dry enough. Has anyone been there lately?
Would like to do the same loop as last week but starting on the other side. Start through the small NS stuff, go until the top of the downhill and back.
I am sure that if by myself i will get lost and will use the GPS to come back though
fun at sparrow hill
Coming from Sydney, drive into Queenbeyan, turn left at the roundabout where Red Rooster is and stay on this road for about 11km. Park on the side of the road where the gate is. For better directions try this link CORC: Events: Race Venues.
casual ride for fun I have never been here so I will follow my nose (and a map )and see what happens
Red Hill repeat
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
I'm looking to do a repeat of the Red Hill ride we did last Saturday. We'll attempt to cover all of the main trails up there as well as anything else of interest, the main ride will be basically this :
Main trail -> single track -> rim ride -> down to the sports centre -> back up the sand pit -> across the top -> downhill track -> along the parkway -> back up the 4wd track to the top -> main trail back to the start.
All of this is entirely rideable and the downhill track has A,B,C,D lines so, yes you CAN ride it on almost anything.
Manly Dam 2 Laps
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I intend on stopping at the Dam on the way home. My intention is to do 2 laps before last light so no lights will be required. This isn't a training ride and we can stop and play on sections if anyone wants to although we are slowly running out if light
dh folly at 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 want to give oxy a go, have a looksee and give it a bash (hopefully not my head) its been a while and im not that good, (still HeaLing). Any DH tips other than close your eyes and hang on(ive got that down pat )would be good.
Back at Manly Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I will be riding the Dam trail this evening for this first time since the ban.
The ride will not be very fast (I ride a freeride bike) and a second lap may be in order if it doesnt get too dark.
return to red hill?
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
A tour of the hill for anyone that's up for it.
Its not a Downhill ride, nor is it an XC ride.. lets just call it a technical ride
Planning about a 15K ride, no real need for armor, I don't wear it (famous last words?) but of course your more than welcome to wear it as there will be plenty of opportunities to go crazy ( if your into that kinda thang ).. you just gotta be prepared to wear it for some uphill as well.
Madness at menai
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
something different , explore (get lost) over near the olds ns stuff, park near the oval as i want to find the short cut to the downhill stuff, otherwise im open to suggestions
