In training for the Mont, the boys took me to do Manly dam one Sunday morning and it was such an awesome day that I think we should arrange to do it again.
So I propose that we pick a Sunday, do a mountain bike ride (whilst the weather is still a little warm), followed by an after drink or three at a yet to be chosen pub.
Any interest?
Sunday ride
I'm keen, its always fun to watch new people crash, or in the case of the ride Alex mentioned an experienced person crash. There will be no swimming in the dam this time though, I was there yesterday playing (working) in the water and it wasn't all that warm.

Its not that its proving to difficult to organise, its just that we have been lazy. It will probably work best if someone just picks a date and we work to it.
^^ Sorry to hear you've been suffering neck problems Camilla. Hope you are getting that sorted!
When you do feel like making a return to the world of mtb, I am sure I will have a bike you can borrow. In fact I have three bikes that are worthy of off roading at the moment. One is sans gears or suspension but I don't mind suffering on that if you and Lizanne need to borrow the other two!

Ok girls and boys, we've been very lazy organising this. Let's just pick a date and do this.
Can I propose an alternative to Manly Dam?
Appin. Trails are miles better and it's not *that* far. Takes a bit over 45mins from the inner west.
I can take us around a sweet 25km loop that the Rock Wallaby race was run on, so those of you that did the Appin 800 will be riding some new trails in addition to the ones you already know. It's all single track, not even 100m of fire trail in total. Lots of fun flowy bits, fast bits, climby bits and lots of rocks! There's a couple of A/B line areas and an opportunity to watch someone fall into the river if they miss the bridge after the roll off
There's a bakery over the road for pre ride food, and a pub for post ride beers and carbs. Depending on pace the loop will probably take us about 3 hours, maybe more... Really depends who comes. Suits a social ride very well as you can wait at the end of each piece of track for the back markers.
I could do Sunday the 28th August?
