Time for a change?

When: 
Wednesday, 25 February, 2009 - 19:03
Meeting Point: 

Terry Hills Tavern (Please park on the street)

2 Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084 (Terrey Hills Tavern)

OK, Time for a varied route.

We start at the Tavern heading to the showground, duck into sandy then into Pauls epiphany trail that runs low coming out behind the showground. Cut through the showground then traverse on the single track back to the Sandy trail head.
Go down on Sandy then we do Neverfail then Larool then road it back to the Tavern for a cleansing Ale!

2.5 hours is my guess with a steady pace.

Not for the beginner or unfit. (Im going as I'm the host)

A good training ride but at a social pace

social, beginners, cross country red hill ride!!!!

When:

Ride Database Entry: 
Red Hill
Meeting Point: 

Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.

-33.744534, 151.255780 (Red Hill Carpark)

I know what most of you are thinking but I decided the other day that there must be people out there who haven’t ridden Red Hill because of it’s reputation...You can do a short cross country style loop – out to picnic rock and back the single track which is pretty...
Anyway, at least if I am wrong and no one turns up at least I can go and do the usual rim ride!

Menai morning fun

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 22 February, 2009 - 07:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.

-34.037591,151.006672 (Old Illawarra Rd)

This is a social ride around what I believe to be some of the best trails in Sydney. There’ll be allot of fast flowing single track, technical descents, some tricky climbs and unfortunately some boring fire trail (but not much I promise).

The pace will be easy to medium, and there will be regular stops to make sure everyone’s together. As mentioned there are some technical descents that novices may find a bit tough, but there’s usually a ride around or there’s always the walking option.

double 40th celebration!!!

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Wednesday, 4 March, 2009 - 19:00
Meeting Point: 

Terrey Hills Tavern

2 Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084 (Terrey Hills Tavern)

This is the 'dinner only' option! If you want to ride DH/Centre first (twice even) then see Bernd's ride here:

http://nobmob.com/node/8176

SO!! Both George (Gazza) and Damien are 40 within days of each other which means Nobmob gets to celebrate WITH them!!

The plan at the moment is for dinner/drinks at the Tavern on the Wednesday night after 8pm - the problem is, neither of them can decide whether there will be a ride before hand or not...

Mid week Menai - Night Ride

When: 
Wednesday, 18 February, 2009 - 20:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.

-34.037591,151.006672 (Old Illawarra Rd)

Going to tackle some of Menai's less technical trails for an hour and a half to two hours. I say less technical but beginners may find it a bit tricky as nearly every trail in Menia has either a small drop, jump, rock garden or tricky climb.

The pace will be fairly easy, as most night rides are, and we'll wait for anyone who may fall behind. So there's no chance of individually getting lost.

A good night-light will be needed along with reasonable night-riding skills.

Look forward to seeing you there.
