CANCELLED - > 100mm rainfall since Wednesday //Ourimbah Social Ride - for those not going to Canberra
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'd like to go for 3 laps.
For those who haven't been there: really nice 10k XC lap.
I don't think this is a beginner's ride, but certainly something to try out and improve your skills.
For those who have been there: see above...
Having said that, I don't want to race the lap, but would like to keep a bit of a flow in the ride for each lap. That doesn't mean we can't stop and try the challenging passages again, something which we don't do that often. A break after each lap for a quick snack and water refill is also planned.
red hill and oxford falls
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
plan is to do red hill, some technical sections, then head down to the parkway near the meat works, ride the road up to morgan road, then the slippery dip through to gutter ball and then down to deep creek, back to cromer road via bike track around the lake ( long way via jamison park ) back up red hill to the start point.
should be about 30K and about 3 hours, so its not a flat out pace but bring your sports drinks 
Remember when?
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Remember when nobmob rides were social?
Remember when we stopped for a beer at the look out?
Remember when we could take the mickey out of ourselves or others without being censored?
Remember when we waited for the slowest rider at regular intervals?
Remember when we had a chat and a laugh along the way because it was about the journey not the destination?
Remember when we were part of community and we all had a say what happened?
Remember the time we were out till after 11 because we did wait for the slowest?
No, well nows your chance to find out.
Manly Dam After Dark – Blondies SOCIAL ride...
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
This is a social ride which means we will be re-grouping at all our regular spots SOOO, if you want to race around doing a ‘hot lap’, fancy doing a ‘training ride’ or don’t want to stop and wait for everyone else then this is NOT the ride for you!
This ride is a social ride – which means riding as a group and not losing anyone or leaving anyone behind.
This also means bringing a beer or preferred bevy for a chat after the ride – if you don’t want to do that either then this isn’t the ride for you 
Oaks up and Back Twilight Ride
Glenbrook station carpark.
Ok, hoping some of you will actually keep me company on this but if i end up going alone I will probaby catch the train back down - think that ride in the dark solo could be a bit creepy... 
Not a super fast ride as I will be there - if you do come please make sure you bring a beer for after the ride in the carpark - and also maybe some snacks, we were starving last time!
MEEE
Menai Social Ride
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Being a member of a single car family it looks like I'm going to have to ride locally again next weekend, as the boss has plans to use the car Saturday and Sunday. (It is her car, so can't complain too much)
Planning on tackling my usual trails, a mix of some fire trail, tricky climbs, fast flowing single tracks and some of the easier less technical free ride runs, but not looking to venture on the really technical free ride areas.
Pace will be easy to moderate and there will be regular stops to ensure we keep together.
