Red Hill

The entrance to the Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. .

-33.744534, 151.255780 (Red Hill Carpark)

YES its time for RED HILL by the light of the moon, well at least assisted by 12 volts of LED power.

Bring your armour as this isn't for the newbie’s and ain’t going to be pretty!
We will be doing the extremely technical loop, no down hill.

There will be cursing
There will be blood
There will be heroes

Are you up for it?
Got what it takes?

Oh, and bring a couple of beers for the post ride banter as we wave the ambulance goodbye!

Manly Dam
Meeting Point: 

King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.

-33.781501, 151.258115 (Manly Hydraulics Lab)

Early-ish lap of the dam. Normal / social pace - suitable for all.

"Stimulus ride" to stimulate the Northern Beaches' economy!

Create precious jobs and extra revenue for all the Local Bike Shops & doctors / hospitals, by going extra hard and breaking / wearing out lots of expensive parts for immediate replacement ($$$). Go hard, spend hard! Do it for Australia!

(Moved to an earlier date of Saturday the 7th Feb - to stimulate sooner!)


Our treasury boss says: "I want to stimulate you!"

Del Rio Track Building

When: 
Sunday, 1 February, 2009 - 09:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Del Rio
Meeting Point: 

Del Rio Resort is on Riverside Drive, Webbs Creek, NSW.

See http://www.delrioresort.com.au/location.asp

-33.402722,150.96815

I've been asked to con some suckers talk some willing volunteers into helping out with some track building at Del Rio, in preparation for the Sydney 24.

If you ride trails loads but don't ever build here's your chance to learn all about it and help out.

Show up for the weekend (see Saturday's meeting) or just one day, I believe free camping at Del Rio is on offer for helpers. They have a bar and pool to cool down in later. There might be BBQ food on offer too, but am not sure - best bring some food just in case!

Terrey Hills night ride

When: 
Wednesday, 28 January, 2009 - 19:15
Ride Database Entry: 
Terrey Hills / Duffys Forest
Meeting Point: 

Terrey Hills Tavern

Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW

The usual Wednesday night ride at Terrey Hills. Given the rain it'll be best to stick to Duck Holes and Centre tracks before heading back to the Tavern for a beer!

Let's try to park on the street this time to avoid any more hassles with the pub's management.

Menai Mid Week Ride

When: 
Wednesday, 28 January, 2009 - 18:30
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)

I've changed the time of this ride due to the regulars not being available this week and no other takers. I'm not brave, or should I say stupid enough to ride at night on my own, so I'll be starting earlier.

If any one can make the earlier time you're more than welcome to join me.

The ride will include some great single track, some tricky technical sections, up and down.

This ride will probably not suit a beginner due to some of the trickier bit's.

Yellowmundee XC Entertainment

When: 
Saturday, 31 January, 2009 - 17:45
Ride Database Entry: 
Yellomundee Regional Park
Meeting Point: 

There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.

-33.663669, 150.656361 (Hawkesbury Rd)

Here is one of the nicest XC courses around and it's paticularly nice in the late afternoon.
There is nothing really hard about the track, other than the usual difficulties one would experience on a track they've never been on before. It gets a bit tight in places and some trees are known to leap out in front of those not paying attention.
The climbs aren't overly tough and the descents are rather straight forward. A good place for the less experienced.
Ride pace will be medium.

Terrey Hills Perimeter & Long X 2

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 25 January, 2009 - 07:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Terrey Hills / Duffys Forest
Meeting Point: 

Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.

-33.682365 151.227937 (Terrey Hills Shops)

Due to my lack of organisation and inability to make a decision I missed out on both of the rides today, therfore I plan to do an early Terrey Hills ride tomorrow. My main aim is to get some km in as I have the BMC Mountains to Beach looming so plan to do about 50km. As I don't know all of the trails here very well this will probably mean Perimeter and Long x 2, a bit repetitive I know so if anybody comes who knows the area better than I am open to change, so long as we get about 50km in.
