Group Training
WSMTB 4hr @ Wylde trail recce
Wylde MTB Car park and Trail head is just off Elizabeth drive located next to the Sydney International (Cecil Park) Shooting Centre. The turn off can be found on the left 3km Due west from the M7 Motorway or on the right 600m Due East from Mamre Road.
Looking to familiarise myself with the circuit for next weekend's race, and get in a bit of training.
First lap will be at a moderate pace to see where everything is and maybe session anything tricky that we find, followed by a couple of hours of chasing each other round and round 
While I'm way off what I like to think of as my usual pace (which hasn't been so usual of late) this won't be such a social ride, I'll be looking to keep the speed up ... as much as I can. Hopefully that means some of you're going to be a bit (but not too much) faster than me and I'll be pushed to keep up.
Oaks Up and Back
Glenbrook station carpark.
Up and back for some training.
While only 50-odd kms, I found this quite a challenging ride last time. Be sure to bring enough food and fluids for the duration.
Oaks up and back this Saturday - early start.
Glenbrook station carpark.
I'm doing a training ride on the Oaks this Saturday morning if anyone wants to join me. It's always more fun and more rewarding riding in a group.
I'm looking to do it in just under 3 hours so not a blistering pace but not dawdling either.
I'm firm on the start time though as I have to be back in the city before lunch.
Hopefully see you there (weather permitting).
Oaks Up and Back
Glenbrook station carpark.
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.
Ando's Oaks
Glenbrook train station.
Although the keen can combine this with The Oaks in which case you'll want to meet down at Glenbrook.
Planning on riding Ando's Oaks tomorrow morning. Late notice I know but happy to have some company if anyone is keen.
Pace will be fairly quick - probably no stops except for a top up of water and a nibble if needed. In saying that, if others come along we'll pace the ride to suit.

Meet the Bash: Blue Mountains Early Sunday morning ride: Oaks up and back
Glenbrook station carpark.
Scheduling this for 7am, I'll be coming by train from Sydney and meet you on the car park. Trying to stay within 4 hours, this is not a very fast speed, but some moderate level of fitness will be required.
Should be a good opportunity to meet the Bash coming down 
!
Cheers,
Volker

Up, and up again, then back, starting at Glenbrook
Glenbrook station car park.
With a chance the sun will continue to shine Sunday, it's high time to up the training again! And this will be a great way to do it.
From Glenbrook up The Oaks, Ingars and then back via Andersons. This is an absolutely AWESOME set of trails, that make for a fantastic day's riding.
Normally, this route pretty much has everything, but missing this time will be any singletrack; I'll be giving the (short!) singletrack at the tail end of the Oaks a rest after all the recent rain!.
All up, it's a tad over 100k, which I aiming to do in under seven hours. Hmmm ...
Glenbrook to Wentworth Falls and back - Bring waterwings!
Glenbrook station carpark.
If you're starting to think doing the Oakes is ... well ... a little ordinary - do we have a doozy for youi! Glenbrook to Wentworth Falls via Woodford, and back again. 100kms of sheer mountain biking joy!
This ride is hugely satisfying, and if you have a decent level of fitness, it HAS to be on your itenerary. It's that good. (Very personal, opinions, but I'd rate Oakes up and down a 6, this longer, round trip jaunt a 9 or 10.)
Glenbrook and Wentworth Falls loop, via Oaks, Ingar, Andersons and Oaks again
Glenbrook station carpark.
Hi All.
Getting ready for the Capital Punishment (17th March), and it's overdue for some serious time spent off-road.
This will be a voyage of the great unknown for this wannabe racer. I've only done this ride one-way, and then they were the easy option; Wentworth down to Glenbrook.
This time it's a climb up to Wentworth via Ingar , then back down again via Andersons to Glenbrook. (With quite a bit more 'climbs up' thrown in between!)
