Details:
Looking to do an old farts training ride up the Oaks and then back down.
Company is welcome.
Approx 60km round trip.
A chance to channel your inner Jensie. Shut up, legs. 
I'm just getting back on the training horse after some downtime so looking for some steady climbing with a ripper downhill reward and maybe some single track at the end if conditions aren't too damp.
Who's in?
leximack, hawkeye, bluray, Kooleen

If it's too wet I'll pass.
Heard from a rider who was out there today:
"Yeah its been dry, windy and cold up here all day. Trail has puddles but relatively hero dirt."
All the rain's on the coast.
Should be primo conditions for it
Moist ground and no rain
After all these years of riding this will be my first ride in the Blue Mountains,I'm really looking forward to it.
hopefully I can get out of bed in time. See you there

And it's going to be rather chilly.
Our group is catching the early train up. No doubt catch u all at the helipad...
On the train heading up now, too. Cu later!
Good workout though. I had *nothing* left at the end, just enough to make the road climb out without walking.

You were all too fast for me on the up hills. Thanks for the morning though.
Good to catch up again. We earned those pies today!
Thoroughly enjoyed it today even those pinch climbs,in a weird sadistic way, & how good was that single track @ the end absolutely awesome. Thanks for the great day out.
Just saw on my strava feed that antsonline did the up-and-back TWICE today, clinched the KOM from the Glenbrook causeway to the Woodford gate on the second lap, and averaged over 22km/hr UP the hill.
I'd say "I want what he's on" but that might be taken the wrong way. Impressive.
thanks guys good fun.
heres a vid of the single track bit, low res version as hd version will take 3.5yrs to upload

Glad my "safety" pin came in handy...
thanks for the use of your "safety pin"
worked a treat, must pack one for future rides. But i guess packing it in my jersey pocket may not be a smart move
I've got this stabbing feeling in my side... Stitch? Nope...
Vastly improved camera angle lexi, that footage looks good.
It is a PITA to load hi-res. I tend to keep the segments short.
Good video, I watched the beginning then skipped to the end. I was waiting for that first tight right hander to catch you out
that corner really sneaks up on you, i had to bail on it before i hit the tree, i wouldnt of made the corner at the speed i was going
