Hoping for some suggestions of where to ride in/around Sydney....
Hi all,
Just recently discovered this site and happily it has also conincided with an ever increasing addiction to riding!!
My better half and I moved to Sydney about a year ago, however haven't had the chance to get in much riding due to some rather busy times! Happy to say though that we now have a relatively clear calendar and we're looking to get out and about as much as possible, enjoy some riding and hopefully meet some new faces along the way. I've been riding for about two years now, and my partner has just started - although she is proving to be a bit of natural! 
Long weekend
With a long weekend coming around, thinking of taking the oppourtunity to take a day trip. Anyone got any suggestions for trail/all mountain type riding, usually ride red hill and manly dam.
Whos left in Sydney this weekend keen for a long ride?
I'm scheduled to complete a 4 to 6 hour ride this weekend (either Saturday or Sunday), anyone keen?
Most likely will be at Wingello, possibly GNR, plan to keep a consistant pace without many stops.
Good luck to those doing the Mont 2011
Seeing as some people have already made the pilgrimage to the Mont, I thought I would post a quick good luck message to those riding and those unsung heroes - the supporters!
Hope you have a mechanical free event and a safe journey (there and back!)

Revealed: middle-aged men at most risk on two wheels
Men aged between 45 and 64 riding either bicycles or motorcycles are getting seriously injured on Australian roads at significantly higher rates than they were a decade ago. They are also more prone to serious injury than vehicle drivers.
Wow... who'd have thunk!
Get hit when sitting in a car: ding in car.
Get hit when riding a bike: broken bones and torn flesh 
Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore, a keen cyclist who has been injured in a crash, said the figures showed the need for better infrastructure for riders.
Kiama rides?
Anybody know of any trails in and around Kiama? Taking the family down during the Easter Hols and wouldnt' mind getting a couple of rides in somewhere close if possible.
cheers

Northern Beaches Commuters – Warning!
Be aware that the bottom of Parriwi has a potential hazard in heavy rain.
As many know there has been some work done at the bottom of Parriwi. Going up there today in the rain the new guttering/drainage results in the water flooding across the road. This has the effect of making a not insignificant stream across the road with lots of surface water and, I assume, will also strew the usual debris that Parriwi experiences across the road as well.
Just thought folks might like to be aware of the potential hazard – rather than hitting it as you round the corner in the dark this PM!
