Ourimbah State Forest - Sat 23rd 10am
Hi People,
After my first experience riding with Rob this weekend I learned that a few of you are interested in hitting up Ourimbah state forest again sometime soon. I am planning on going out next Sat the 23rd for a few laps on the xc course.
Should be a great ride if the weather holds up.
I was thinking of meeting at about 10am at Ourimbah on Red Hill Rd.
If your not familiar on how to get there follow the link.
Hope to see you there.
Cheers
Sam
Woodford to Glenbrook Howl
Well after the success of the last, and first, group night ride I 've set my sights on something a little more adventurous.
I know this is a few weeks off yet but thought some of you with a social life might need some time to clear the calendar. The next full moon just happens to fall on a Saturday night, 7th of October to be precise. Thought this might be a really good opportunity to ride Woodford to Glenbrook under the light of that not so biggish white thing in the night sky.
From memory this is normally about a 2hr ride, so I would expect about three at night( happy to stand corrected if anyone has a better idea) Given that alot of this trail is considerably more open than TH I would suspect it is another good opportunity to test Christines theory about ridding with no lights (no I won't be attempting this). Assuming this to be the case and given that a couple of us rode last week with little better than "commuter lights" I don't think you would need anything overly fancy to join us if you are game. As for last time though this should be a decision only you can make. I guess I'm trying to say if you want to come but don't have a professional set of lights, still feel free to join us.
Newbies @ Terrey Hills
Hello!
FINALLY I have a couple of friends who claim they want to come riding so on Sunday at 8.30 I shall drag them down the Long Trail - this I expect will be a slow, social ride and everyone and anyone is welcome!
We will meet in Eurabba Road Duffys Forest (I shall have to refer to my Gregory's to give instructions as well as Stuart does!!!)
MEEEE
New to Sydney
Hi guys- great site, just what I was looking for.
I am new to Sydney, and have just returned to mountain biking after a 15 year hiatus. I don't know anyone who rides, so would love to tag along with someone if they are keen for company. Keep in mind that I am an absolute beginner, and if I'm being honest with myself, pretty unfit. I work odd hours, so weekdays are usually better than weekends, but beggars can't be choosers. If interested, please drop me a line- phone or email.
In the meantime I will keep a lookout for beginner rides.
Cheers, Liam.
Hi there!
So I just signed myself up and wanted to say that this sites a great resource, especially for those of us becoming more adventurous and riding farther afield (ie. riding addicts)
I have been riding fairly regularly of late and am keen for more as the weather is now perfect!
Will be watching the rides the and information posted as I am always keen to get amongst it!
My recent rides include the Brindabella Challenge 2005 in Canberra ....the Oaks x2 this year, Ourimbah 1 lap and Arcadia 2 1/2 laps and the "Gorge" (part of a commute from CastleHill to Hornsby)
Having bought a new bike only 4 months ago I am loving mountain biking more than ever!
Ladies and Gentleman, and I use that term loosely, start Howling
Terry Hills night ride under a full moon.
Meet 7pm, 7th September
No shaving required.
Christine also reckons no lights required although Pikey, the only one game enough to test that theory last month, believes lights would be a good idea, I would tend to agree. (Greg you might won't to swap to a 30 or 40 watt fitting to give you a long enough burn time, otherwise the seeds won't grow)
Lets hope the werewolfs don't get scared off by a couple of clouds like they did last month.
Heres to a howling good time
The Oaks - Saturday 2 Sept AM
Thought I would venture out a little further on Sat with a couple of mates and do The Oaks/Nepean Lookout . I have not ridden out there so thought it was about time as is on my doorstep. Plan would be to head up to Glenbrook and catch the 10.22 train to Woodford (may go out to 11.22)
Haven't really planned it out yet so time may vary slightly. Also weather dependent as I can't be bothered if its wet
Not going for technical stuff just fun and fast firetrails. Open to suggestions to extend but not doing the long distances.
Fargs
Guess it means that a Friday session is out then (well maybe not)- damn.
Penrose/Wingello state forests
To: anyone interested in the Highland Fling - full or half fling
Any one keen to go for a ride in Penrose/Wingello state forests sometime soon (in the next few weeks) in preparation for the Fling?
Or do something similar distance (no! not just do 3 laps of Terry Hills)
I am keen
Regards
Tien
Sparrow Hill?
There was quiet some discussion going on about Sparrow Hill here... that thread has been moved below, which started by Paul:
Bernd mentioned the Sparrow Hill near Canberra was also a great place to ride – anyone up for a day trip sometime in the future? From the sound of it, Sparrow is lots of singletrack like Ourimbah, but amongst the pine cones. Works for me.
Cheers,
Paul
Photo magazine - potential MTB Shoot
Hi, amateur photo club I am a member of is looking for a piece on MTBing (probably more on how to take neat photos of people jumping off stuff etc).
This is just a heads up, please respond to this thread or send me a private message ('Justin') if you would like to be involved.
Update - this is where you ride around and we take photos. Be prepared to do stuff that will look good on camera. Even I am not sure what that is at this point
