Bad weather
2012 CTMBC Enter the Darkness #11
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
Tuesday night racing at Rydal is back.
5:45pm rego opens, if you are new or need to renew your license please turn up earlier rather than later.
We're a fairly casual club, we don't even hand out round prizes, so don't be intimidated by the "race" tag. We all just go out to do our best.
There are different grades but with us this is determined by how many laps you want to do rather than how fast you are. Doing the higher grade with more laps will gain you more series points.
There is a shorter track for juniors and we've had increasing numbers in u13s and u10s

A 3 Hour race on the West side
BMORC visiting Mt Annan & Kessel Run
End of Ulmarra ave, Camden South.
Despite the good weather today we are taking the advice to postpone this ride for a later date.
A few good men will be coming down from the Mountains for a social ride.
2 rides planned.
The first will be the Kessel Run (Camden) at 8am meet. This is an out and back ride (12.6km total). Estimated duration is around 2hrs.
Second is Mount Annan, Gates open at 10am. Meet in the Car park near trailhead ideally around 10:15am. May be later depending on Kessel Run duration and relocation.
Glenbrook Night ride - Knapsack
Glenbrook Park. In the small car park opposite the shops.
A loop or two around Knapsack Reserve.
All welcome!!
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 Social Ride
Glenbrook Park. In the small car park opposite the shops.
Glenbrook to the Oaks(the middle gate) via Euroka Clearing and Bennetts Ridge firetrail, return on the Oaks single track.
All welcome!!
WSMTB Stans No Tubes 4 Hour - Rnd 3 - Cancelled
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.
Unfortunately Round 3 of our Summer 4 Hour Series (19 Feb) has had to be cancelled. This is due to the amount of track damage caused by the torrential downpour last Thursday 16 Feb (100mm in an hour) plus more rainfall, and forecast of more rain.
If you have already registered and paid, you could transfer this money towards our next Club races, or email me at treasurer@wsmtb.com (with bank details) for a refund.

Glenbrook Twilight Ride
Glenbrook Park. In the small car park opposite the shops.
Glenbrook to the Oaks(the middle gate) via Euroka Clearing and Bennetts Ridge firetrail, return on the Oaks single track.
All welcome!!
Andos + Oaks (Wingello is where I'll be heading)
Meet at Woodford Train Station to catch the train up to Wentworth Falls.
Although the keen can combine this with The Oaks in which case you'll want to meet down at Glenbrook.
Train leaves Glenbrook at 6:53am. Getting some kms in the legs ready for the Mont. This will be a step up from a cruisy Sunday but not flat out race pace. A few stops along the way eg Bedford Ck crossing, top of Bedford Ck climb, top of Oaks to refill water bottles, helipad, Glenbrook bottle shop
