Duck Hole/Terrey Hills Trail
Meeting Point: 

Terrey Hills Tavern. Park on the road to avoid putting pressure on the management.

For all you people that were glued to the TV in support of the blues, or if you couldnt make Wednesday's ride for any reason - dont despair! I propose a night ride doing Duckholes and Centre Track on Thursday night, returning in time for Food and beer at the Tavern.
Come one come all... Even Queenslanders I suppose.

-34.037591,151.006672 (Old Illawarra Rd)

Looking to take the new bike for a run out Saturday afternoon.

It will be more of a stop, start and rerun on some of the technical trails and in the free ride areas, compared to my usual socail ride.

Beginners will find this tuff going and reasonable bike skills will be needed. (And before Delicious adds a comment, yes I haven't the skills needed and I'll probably fall off a couple of times.)

If we get heavy rain between now and then I'll probably cancel. I'll update Friday evening.

I'm ready for some more fun at Appin, the Appin track is 10km long and features a number of fun technical sections.

The pace will be relaxed, we can stop and play on sections if people want. I've posted a ride time of three hours, you don't have to do this I image we should be riding past the cars every 50 minutes or so.

DUE TO A GREMLIN in my ADSL line my computer has no broadband speed , only dial up ....YUCK.... so to save my sanity i thought about three laps of the best trails i have ridden on should do the trick .

It will be a afternoon / night ride so unless you ride "Brail" bring good lights , warm gear and a sense of adventure as chances are I/ we will have the whole forest alone .....Spooky stuff and not for the faint hearted

Also as i am now boycotting my computer please SMS me on 0418 793 360 as i am flexable on the time .....to a point !

Some bugger has to turn up one day .........

This ride has a bit of everything, some sweet single track, one of the fastest and most technical fire trails i have ever ridden, northshore ramps and jumps, some leg burning hills and a couple of different ecosystems. I know a loop around there which is around 20 something kilometers which is pretty good fun.

This is not for beginners. Come along if you typically going fast down hills and slow up hills.

I am required in Manly Sunday arvo
So thought I could post a ride to kill 2 birds etc
With all the hoo ha I dare not post the dam or red hill
So TH it is
I'm thinking the old Dick holes and centre (did someone say sniggle - not me)
Then along to Salvation and a few others maybe - I'm open to any suggestions
Unfortunately there's a fair amount of fire trail and tar stuff, but we always manage to have a bit of fun
This is my only ride this week so I won't be rose smelling
But I won't be setting any land speed records either - all are welcome and points to drop out along the way

I expect to do 2 laps, stop on the way have some fun on some of the trickier stuff if people want and then after a break at the cars, go out and do 1 or 2 more laps.

Edit: been moved to Saturday due to Wollongong MTB Club XC race on Sunday
