It's On
Andersons and The Oaks double = Funday Sunday..
Glenbrook railway station car park.
Getting the 8.23 train to Wentworth Falls, then ride Andersons and The Oaks straight through for approx 60km's of fun. Those wanting only to do one of the sections (approx 30km's each) can do Andersons and get the train back from Woodford, or get a later train from Glenbrook and meet us at Woodford to do just the Oaks (you'll probably get the 10.23 from Glenbrook and we'd meet you at Woodford station about 12.30). Too confusing? - just do the lot! You'll need food but there is a tap at Woodford for l'eau.
Late notice but.. Oaks (down only) and St Helena's
Hi Everyone,
Last minute notice but a mate and I are doing the Oaks and St Helena's on Friday, he's never done St Helena's. The plan is to catch the 15:06 train from Glenbrook get off at Woodford, go down the oaks with a detour of St Helena's (there and back again) come back onto the Oaks and head down.
Yep its definitely Friday too!
Should be a technical ride with lots of silliness when it isn't technical.

8hrs of Dh + WWS 1
Ok the 8hr festival weekend
Saturday will see the very first 8hrs of DH. 3 short, gentle DH tracks, Teams of three one rider on each track start together.
Each rider will be given the opportunity of at least 2 timed runs on each track. Entries are capped so there should be time at the end to try and improve a bad run.
The best 2 runs of each rider on each track will be added into the teams total, lowest total time wins.
Riding the oaks fire trail early this sunday.
Meet at glenbrook station in time to catch the 0653 train to woodford.
Will be riding this sunday with a canadian friend who is fairly new to mountain biking so will be taking a fairly cruisy pace except for the long down hills which are much to fun to be going slow on. we will be driving from Ranwich very early sunday morning (have room for one more if anybody wants a lift.) with the plan being to catch the glenbrook train at 0653 to woodford, may also look at having a swim when we get to the bottom before riding back up the road to the train station. the more the merrier
Leisurely ride up the Oaks and St Helena's
Hi,
As discussed previously I will be doing the Oaks this Sunday morning. Just found out that there are no trains running as well so there goes the cruisy ride up on the train!!! So i will probably go up the oaks (probably not all the way), maybe do St Helena's and then back down again.

Late Post: Oaks up and down and maybe some more.
Going for a training ride and here is the plan:
1- Leave Glenbrook station, bypass the single track on the uphill and go all the way to Woodford.
2- Ride down the Oaks to the beginning of the single track and if the legs allow, go up again till the helipad and then go back all the way to Glenbrook.
I'm not sure if this second leg will happen, but I'm willing to try anyway.
I'm going to Glenbrook by train, so I may get a little late depending on Cityrail's mood.
Oaks up and down
*** Update as of 8/10 Time has been changed by 15mins to accomodate for the Sydney train. Its almost certain that we will do St Helena's as well***
Hi Everyone,
A few of us us were chatting last night about training and preparation for the various races and things that we all have happening. This will be my last hit out before the Mont and Fling ... so may as well do a big ride.
The Oaks at Night, finally
Ok, so its a long weekend coming up and I'm going to take the opportunity to do the Oaks under lights. Rugby Saturday night so Sunday is the go, (sorry but the league doesn't rate on my radar).
Please note that the time posted is the train time so make sure you are there with plenty of time to get sorted, onto the platform and get a ticket, thats Glenbrook station for those that don't know.
The Oaks - Up and Down Training ride
I’m planning on riding The Oaks from Glenbrook Station to Woodford and back for some pain endurance training for The Fling. I’ll try to avoid stopping as much as possible, but knowing my current fitness level this does not mean much. Meeting point is the parking lot in front of Glenbrook station.
Andersons, St Helenas (out and back) and Oaks
This will be a minimal stop ride at a moderate pace.
Ideally we will do Andersons, St Helenas (out and back) and then the rest of the Oaks.
Please remember we will be catching a train at 6:52am
Cya all there.
