Someone whinged that there weren't enough rides in the calendar
The ride begins proper at the gate on Grose Road. This is about 3.4km from the junction with the highway and 450m from the junction with Jennings Road (bear left here on the way out). There is 850m of gravel road to drive to the gate.
So I put a ride in the calendar.
Meet at the gate before the trail starts proper. I'll be riding from home so if anyone doesn't know where said gate is I can meet you at Springwood High school (on Grose rd) a little earlier and ride up.
We'll be going for a social lap or two and then maybe a quick lap afterwards.
If it's raining (or has been raining) I won't be there. After the weather we've had this past year I'm sick of being wet and even sicker of washing bikes.
CTMBC Pre Christmas Ride
Bottom of Mt Vic pass
Ok this is a bit more full on and probably not suited for the kids.
Some awesome MTB trails though. Real MTB with up hills and down hills, some challenging sections and some very fun sections. Some pushing.
Anyway thought we'e make a day of it. get out for a blast at Mt York before grabbing the kids and heading to Rydal http://ctmbc.net/node/39362
Tuesday night social ride
The main rd in has been dusty as all get up so in an effort to keep on the good side of the locals it might be best to come in via the showground.
From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)
Go around the top side of the show ground and follow the road around to the left. This will take you around towards the top side of the cemetery. from there a couple of cross rd will bring you back tot he bicentennial trail and thus the car park
Just cause it's Tuesday and we may as well keep riding

Just thought we'd get together for a bit of a family ride before Christmas.
All are welcome so bring partners, kids, beginner riding buddies.
The plan is to just mucking around at Rydal. Those that want to can take off and blast out a couple of laps the rest of us will just cruz about.
Might even get a poker run happening if I can get some times to do so,
