When: 
Saturday, 7 April, 2012 (All day)
Duration: 
2 hours

I'll be there, no matter what the weather.
Ride Database Entry: 
The Oaks
Meeting Point: 

Woodford trail head

-33.735423,150.487475
Details:

There are two parts to this:

1) BMORC are participating in an inaugural trail hosting gig with NPWS @ the Oaks.
- This has come about as part of BMORC's growing relationship with NPWS rangers and area management around the Blue Mountains.
- Obviously increased riding opportunities on Single track in line with new NPWS MTB policies are our aims.
- So due to a late drop out, we need 1 volunteer to accompany me from approx 8am to 12pm @ Woodford trail head to meet and greet etc etc (There is also a training component on Satruday 31March if you want to attend, but I can cover this).
- There is another shift on Sunday 8th ... but thats covered by 2 other vollies (with thanks Michael and Rory).

2) @ Approx 12pm at the end of our shift ... I intend to hit the oaks so for those interested
meet at Woodford trail head around 12ish (train dependent) and we'll have a nice pedal.

Let me know if any interest in either 1) or 2).

My trail hosting ninja skills are not needed so that free's up the morning for family fun, which in turn opens up the afternoon for mountain biking frivolities (Hooray!). See you there guys.

Hi,
I did a night ride with Chuck last week and would like to get more involved with the local MTB scene.
Do you have room for one more (on a fire trail?).

The train doesn't arrive until 11:43am. Is this too late for you guys?

Cheers

Paul.

Was a great day ... big up to Wes for holding my hand at the trail hosting thingy ... was really fun for me meeting heaps of peeps, lots of bike nerd talk, handed out shite loads of info about bmorc, might have recruited a few peeps for the Lantana Lash @ Mundee ... even got to plug some of my shizzle Smiling

good to meet some new faces on the ride as well ... not sure how I'm going to go with the Andos double, frack I hate climbing Smiling

Notables ...
+80 riders from 8.30 to 12 ... few family groups as well Smiling
Couple of walker groups ... keep your eyes out for news of a missing family group of about 20 of my relatives.
Mike powering the last bit to the gate from the heli pad ... local advantage, booo
The erode bit is getting a bit ridiculous ... but man it was fun
And finally new nick name ... Wes the Destroyer ... ring and cranks ... bad luck dood

Was a good day out for me as I hit up Knapsack first before catching the train up to Woodford. Weather was just perfect too.

Had to laugh when Nerf mentioned how he thought he would over take Trim on the run down from the Helipad, then had second thoughts when he pulled out from Trim's slip stream. Must be hard for you little fellas at speed. Smiling

@Graig. You need to clear up what your login name is. I heard Oopsi, Opsy and I call you ZeroPSI.

Good ride guys, a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Yes Al, a large group of your relo's in the bush. What could go wrong? I'll keep my eyes on the police rounds in next weeks gazette to see if they got lost on the fire trail. I'd be more worried if they were at the beach!

Opsi (as I call him), you need to give me your Yeti and I'll break it in for you!

Was a great day apart from droping my chain alot.Not sure what happen in the last section theres no marks on the chain ring or the chain.But somehow i have broken the spider and munted a 34 tooth ring.I realy like the idea of the trail hosts will happily do it again.
