Manly Dam - No Lights Required
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Well I am back at work 
but 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 does mean laps need to be around 45 minutes.
Menai Night ride
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
****
Menai for the Wednesday night ride..
You'll need good lights and thats about all .. this ride is quite simple.. just out and back along the various single tracks.
See you there.
Thursday morning laps at ourimbah
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.
Got a work thing at the tree climbing place next door, thought i'd get a few sneaky laps in before that.
Menai day ride Tuesday
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
I just discovered i can go for a ride tomorrow. I though menai but i am open to other venues as long as it is mostly single trails, and similar thing with the time i can accomodate if someone wants to go for a ride at any other time.
Kentlyn.. Night ride prep ... Sunday Morning.. 0800

Ant.. we are planning on arriving for a 0800 start.. at the track main road junction on Peter Meadows "Fitr" whatever that is.. anyway you should see it from the map.. Once there we can scout around to find a more secure spot if need be.
Late notice newbies ride Perimiter + Long Tracks 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.
This is an out-and-back at social pace. There are great views from a few spots so bring your camera if you like. The trail consists of fire trail, with some sand. It is non-techical.
At 22km return it is probably not suitable for young children, but my teenager enjoyed it last weekend. Weather is forecast to be warmish - mid 20's - so bring adequate water and your sunblock.
Parramtta Lake and exit at Carlingford
In the carpark just below the Cafe. I'll be the one on the White Giant
Came through here for the first time on my way to work this morning. Going back the same way and was planning on doing some exploring around the area before exiting at Carlingford
Late afternoon at the Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
For those not working, or that can slink off early a few late afternoon laps of the dam might be in order.
Only plan on staying a couple hours so lights will not be required.
This will be socially paced so come on over!

Lake Parramatta XC Loop (and Carlingford Link) Tour
Meet at Lake Parramatta Car Park: PARRAMATTA. Turn from Church St, into Burke St, into Illawong Dr.
I'll be on a small shiny 08 Trance.
The ride will not follow the technical walking track around the actual lake. That walking track is busy on weekends with walkers of all ages, and has cliffs. The ride will go from the Car Park to the popular XC loop. It will also include showing where the loop connects with the cycleway that leads to Jenkins Road Carlingford. You can easily ride from Lake Parramatta to Lane Cove National Park (done it). That could be another day.
