Early Oaks Trail Saturday
I will jump on a Lapstone station train at 6:49am (Central at 5:48, Emu Plains at 6:43, Glenbrook at 6:53, Woodford 7:23 arrive). Can meet at either Lapstone station at 6:49 or Woodford station at 7:23.
I havent done Oaks for around 2 years. Looking for an average to quick run down. Medium to good fitness. Will be on first carriage at Lapstone or meet at Woodford at 7:23 on arrival. If it looks like its going to rain I wont go.
The Oaks - New Riders A Little Bit Below Average Bike Fitness
Glenbrook Station.
6:53am depart Glenbrook Station
7:23am arrive Woodford Station
I am taking a new rider friend. Based on 05/12/09 ride with same friend, the trip from Woodford to Glenbrook will take 2.5hrs.
This is an ideal invitation for someone that wants to try the Oaks Trail but for one reason or another is uncomfortable starting it alone. You will be more than welcome to stay with me and anyone else that turns up for all or part of the ride but I will stay with the slowest rider(s).
The Oaks - New Riders with Average Fitness - Cancelled
Glenbrook Station.
Not a mistake. Yes, I am doing it Saturday and Sunday lol 
6:53am depart Glenbrook Station
7:23am arrive Woodford Station
The ride takes me, a beginner maybe just creeping into the intermediate skill bracket with average fitness for a 40 year old about 2hrs. I am taking a new rider friend so expect this return trip to Glenbrook to take between 3.0hrs to 3.5hrs.

Saturday arvo Oaks cruise
Glenbrook station carpark.
Car is dead so can't make it today, sorry.
old farts scenic tour of Lidsdale
From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.
hopefully the new bike cams will be here by then
first lap might be pics for posting for others
but I think there might be either so many trails we'll just tour around here there and everywhere

This is just a fun ride, good chance for people who have not done it before to join in.
WAGs trundle @ Yellomundee
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.
As discussed, a gentle trundle round the Yellomundee circuit (probably trying to miss the worst of the technical stuff) for relative newbies to get some practice in.
