CHANGED: Glenbrook Station Car Park
UPDATE:
I had a flashback this morning and realized that the car park at the park entrance is not open before 8am and some people seem to have difficulty to find it.
=> New meeting point: the usual Glenbrook Station Car Park.
Sorry for the late change! See you there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a training ride for the Angry Doctor.
Yellowmundee pre-race ride
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
In preparation for the 12 hour next weekend, I'm going out to yellowmundee to do a few laps to get re-familiarised with the circuit.
The general idea is to do a couple of laps at at a steady pace (like 70% of race pace), perhaps pause and look at lines and re-do a few corners / techie bits and get the general feel. It might involve a few spurts upping the pace now and again as we get into the flow, but generally steady.
Andos and Oaks
Glenbrook station carpark.
OK, after talking about it for ages, I'm not going to go all the way and all the way back again. I'll do one way this time and perhaps do the double next week.
Meeting at Glenbrook carpark at 10:00 to take the 10:23 train up to Wentworth falls. From there we ride along the road the do Andersons, then onto The Oaks to the end. Simple. If you are going to be late please ring my mobile (check my profile for the number).

This won't be for the faint-hearted, the first 50km is all climbing so expect no less than 5 blown lungs
Would prefer a small group but anyone not afraid of some serious hard work are more than welcome.
Hope to see you there.

early winmalee fun
End of White Cross Rd, Winmalee, NSW. There's a small parking area here but it's a standard suburban street so overflow isn't a problem.
Just heading out early for a medium to fast paced training ride. Feel free to come along.
Oaks Up and Back - Twilight to Night Ride
Glenbrook station carpark.
Possibly the last night ride of the year
Starting a 6.00pm we will riding up The Oaks reaching the top as the sun is setting - 27k and 70% climbing (this will probably take 2 hours to 2.5 hours).
Once at the top we will be turning around and riding back down in the dark - 27k and 70% downhill (about 1.5 hours). Those who only want to ride down can meet us at the top.
You will need good lights (preferrably charged), a reasonable level of fitness, and a beer for post ride.
Oaks up and down and St Helena's
Glenbrook station carpark.
Hey,
I need to get some training in for the Half Fling and I gotta figure out how fit I am to see how quick i can go. The aim is to do the oak's up to the top, stopping at the Helipad and then at the gate for water and Guis etc. Come back down and detour via St Helena's I'm hoping I will be fit enough to do the lot at a a good pace.
As always if there are some roidy people there we will split as appropriate.

PS Sorry Rob for putting this on the same day as your ride - I can't find another day that works for me.
Saturday Morning Training
