4 laps of Appin and a cuppa
Corner Burke & Market St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
For those not going to the Dirtworks or those that want some fun before putting there body through some punishment the following day, I'm planning on doing 4 laps of the standard XC loop.
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.
I'm going to bring my small camp stove, water, a kettle, etc, along with some tea and coffee for everyone so we can have a cuppa after the first two laps and then at the end. Just need to bring a cup.
And a bike......
Social Terrey Hills-CANCELLED
Meeting at the terrey hills tavern carpark.
The idea is to do duckholes and centre at a social pace as they will be the driest and if everything goes according to plan we will finish at the tavern for dinner and a beer after the ride
Its raining in terrey hills and looks like its only going to get worse, so Im calling the ride off
Sparrow Hill and Stromlo Blow the Cobwebs off ride
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.
I will be trying to revisit the Mont course , if i dont get lost .....18 k'S of sweet single track if not just ride / explore the best trails around for an hour or two or three.... after this i will need to feed ...Gluten free red rooster fills the belly here
And all going well scoot off to Stromlo for a hot lap of the Std XC Course ( well not that hot at 45-47 min night laps for me ) If there is anyone here to keep me company i could be convinced to explore some more but as the place feels to me like Wolf Creek at night, on my own i only have the courage to bolt around one time
Manly Sunday Laps
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Havent ridden Manly for a while so its time to go back.
Looking to do two maybe three laps of the standard route at a fairly relaxed pace.
This is not a training ride so will stop here and there for a bit of a play maybe.
Mt. York Adventure
Mt. York road, Mt. Victoria, at the track head of Lockyers Trail
EEEK DATE CHANGE!!!!
The trails in this area have a bit of everything and impress all that ride them, there's plenty of fast downhills and wonderful single track with techy bits to keep you on your toes. It's not considered hard but you will need good braking control, I wouldn't recommend this for beginners.
Menai
The lay-by opposite the entrance to ANSTO on the New Illawarra Road.
*PLEASE NOTE THE MEETING LOCATION IS DIFFERENT TO WHERE WE USUALLY MEET*.
Looking to ride for approximately 3 hours on mainly the XC trails around Menai.
As usual will be a moderate pace, with some fast flowing single, XC type technical sections and some tricky climbs. A reasonable to good level of fitness will be needed to complete the 3 hours as the riding at Menai is fairly hard, but there will be a couple of bail out options for those finding it hard going.
Manly Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Social ride around manly dam on monday would be good if someone who is a local rider could join in.
Ourimbah fun ride on Saturday !
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.
Ourimbah ride on Saturday morning - 2 laps at normal pace.
I'll be there with my son Benji (12) and another MTB dad with his teenage son.
Pace will be normal (i.e. reasonably quick - they are no beginners)
Come and join us on those beautiful single tracks - the more the merrier. 
Cheers, Hans

Easter fun ride around the Dam
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I thought it would be fun to ride 1 or 2 laps around the Dam on Easter Sunday and have some Hot Cross buns afterwards.
This is a social ride, so no hot laps. Everyone is welcome!
Hope to see you there
