Late notice but will be riding .. normal starting point around 7am.. Paul, Craig and myselff.
Ourimbah XC Ride
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
I will be heading up to Ourminbah for a couple of laps tomorrow morning.
If you feel like a ride come up.
Afternoon ride terrey hills
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Hi all, im new to this so im going for a lap of the perimeter and long trails ( approx 20 km's) as im new to this whole MTB thing it wont be a blistering pace as i normally do it in around 1 hr 20 mins or just under so if anyone would like to join feel free as otherwise i will be riding alone I will be parking at the entrance to the perimeter trail.
Menai madness

Manly Dam - weather permitting....
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Casual first lap for beginners with some mates... then a quick lap! But of course if the trails is shut... then maybe Yellowmundee...
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
menai maniacs
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
730 at night!!!!!
spiders, gaps, wood, rocks, mud, spiders, wallabies, sniggle, drops and more spiders endos and the like, a bit of a bash in the bush at night.
Awaba XC laps
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road. See for details.
Okay, as discussed previously, I have not been to Awaba before and am very keen to have a trundle around the XC trail. Who's keen?
I have posted the ride for Australia day, as my other upcoming weekends are already full.
I plan on doing 3 or 4 laps, depending on daytime temps. These forests can get pretty hot (probaby noone needs any reminders of Ourimbah for the 12 hour). There is also the possibility of setting up a BBQ and downing a beer afterwards, if you were also keen for that.
Ourimbah.. 3 or 4 laps
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Thinking of doing 3 or 4 laps, ( last time I was good for about 50min laps ). I figure that the pace will be inversely proportional to the number of Friday afternoon carbo loading beers..
leaving about 630 from Cromer, room in the truck for a couple more.
McPhail's and Meryla Pass
Kangaroo Valley
As per the ride posted by Herzog on 29.11.09 but probably doing Meryla Pass first to get the climbing out of the way and then the wonderful McPhail's downhill run. We have 3 riders (average age 40 plus !!) confirmed to leave Middle Cove at 6.32 am (traditional time for unknown reasons!).
Currently planning to take only 1 car but might take 2 if we have more takers. idea is to arrive down in Kangaroo Valley around 8.30-8.45 am. Now taking 2 cars as we have 4 so another 1 or 2 welcome !
