Tentative Planning (MTB)
If you have a pretty much definate plan for a ride then this is not the place for you. You should be creating a ride meeting entry instead, which will appear in the calendar, etc.
This forum is for talking over tentative plans, asking opinions on rides, etc.
Terrey hills
anybody up for a ride out terrey hills ( perimeter and maybe some others also ) im prob heading up within the next 1 - 1.5 hours.
Red hill
is anyone looking at going to redhill for a ride today before 4pm ? I am relatively new to the sport ( 4 months ) and have never ridden up there and would love to meet up and join someone for a ride around today. If anyone is willing and able today would be greatly appreciated.

ride the council chambers?
How many would be up for some social riding of the council car park in protest of the dam closure?
I really doubt we would get enough to make a impact.. but you never know
Or is it just a stupid idea fueled by my Friday afternoon carbo loading?
McPhails + Meryla Pass Group Ride - Feb 28th?
I'm looking at doing another McPhail's downhill + Meryla Pass ride soon,
and I thought I'd see if there was interest in doing it as a group ride.

I recall that few guys on here mentioned being keen to do this one, so it's
just a matter of finding a good date that works for everyone.
Based on the previous thread, the popular choice was to park at the bottom
and do the Meryla Pass ascent first, then ride back down McPhails.
The rough plan would be meet in the Valley at 8am (this would mean leave
Perimeter + Long + Cowan + Wilkins
Thinking of a ride to scrub my brakes in properly, i think its gonna be around the 28km mark.
Not sure about date thou im expecting my pads to arrive tomorrow but who no's when! Thinking for this weekend assuming i get the pads but if not next week.
Anyone interested in perimeter plus some more goodies?

Hi,I need to get a few ks on the legs pre Husky. Thinking of a lap around Narrabeen Lake via Red Hill and Terry Hills. A similar ride last week was 48 ks and took me just over 3 hrs. Depending on the forecast thinking of a 06:30 start or if it's not going to be too hot 14:30. Any one keen?

Manly Dam Sunday 24th Jan 5-8 hours...
Hi everyone. as you well know today (sat) was too hot to get any significant hours up without major side effects (like dying or turning into dust) so i plan to get over to the dam tomorrow ( sun) and have a day on the mtb.
This is not a ride meeting but instead is an informal invitation to all those who will be out there and feel like
A- saying hi as you go flying past me
or B- ride with me for a little bit
I have no set direction but will not stop except for water top ups at the car park by the hydro lab.
I may even make my way up to Cascades for some hill climbing.

Watagan Forest Rd
always with the looking around for something to do
a little bit different
or just seeing great places
Ourimbah gives me the idea of slogging up the incline to ride a lot along the top.
and the next ridge up shows a nice ridge line, that goes on and on .....
so to start at the other end needs to be a 400meter climb in 2kms to get to the start
that's a hard 1 in 5, probably greater if it starts of easy early

(the hard part of Red Hill Rd at Ourimbah State is just under 1 in 5)
