Two other mates finished 59.36 and 59.37 so we're all well matched for pace

Heard back from JP that he will have his ute plus 2 other riders. So we should have a little bit of shuttling space left back up the after the ride.
Train will be the 7:23 from Glenbrook which arrives at Woodford at 7:54.
Getting on the train at Glenbrook will be JP+2, Mantra +2 and myself. Mr Cove hopping on at Warrimoo.
Definates :
Nerf Herder, Bipyjamas, JP+2, BM Epic, Bushpilot, Moggio, davzab, Mr Cove and Mantra + 2
Maybe:
taibo
Weather so far looks passable, if not overly pleasant.... at least it looks like this damn wind will be gone by then.

I fixed that up... I just got carried awayHey hey, I am Mantra + 1!
Looking forward to busting out the lights, but please go easy on me with my DH bike
See you on the train
I think the pace will be relatively mellow except for BM Epic going down hills... he crazy.
I think we will also have to discuss what will be the next ride as there aren't too many on the calendar.

Actually, it is Mantra + 2, I just happen to be the Mantra +1. Our mate Gary is mantra + 2.I fixed that up... I just got carried away

Confused much?
I'm looking forward to breaking out the HID's on the Oaks trail again, singletrack is always a blast!! especially with the technical section to finish being nice and rutted with the last big rains.

Confused much all right... fixed up again.. if you had been Mantra + 2 it would have been all obviousActually, it is Mantra + 2, I just happen to be the Mantra +1. Our mate Gary is mantra + 2.

The single track will be great under lights... the technical section under lights might beat me.... did it on Sunday ok in daytime... I found even the rest of the Oaks was beginning to get rutted again already, nothing like what it was before the grading, but it is starting
Heck its only been several weeks since they did that as well... I guess a bit of rain just moves that sand.

Not me... gotta do that by day first at the least! I suspect in the morning I would have to be scraped off some rocks.

Hahahaha! You haven't run Helena's yet? Oh you are missing out. Great technical singletrack trail, but I guess it depends on the type of riding you are used to.
P.S. I'm sure there would be plenty of wildlife to finish you off

I am working up to it...trying to build up my technical riding all the time so I will probably go down it in the not too distant future (Before summer and the return of the spiders!) At the moment it would be foolhardy or just a lot of walking I imagine.Hahahaha! You haven't run Helena's yet? Oh you are missing out.

I have only ever attempted the large step between the boulder thingy 2 times ... got close once ... I think I still have a scar of the root sticking in my backIf you can do the last technical section of the Oaks, you can do Helenas. Everyone has to walk a lot of the last section down to the creek. That said, the first few times, I had to borrow a bigger pair of balls to get though some of it
I'm in for a St H ... in the day though ... heard the regular rumblings about it no longer being open from the creek ... ie, hike a bike and beyond closed ??? accompanied by the usual "yes it is ... no it isn't" unconfirmed waffle.

Had a close call or two there myself! Theres a B line to the right now which makes that section easy if you need to woos out.I have only ever attempted the large step between the boulder thingy 2 times ... got close once ... I think I still have a scar of the root sticking in my back
Rode St H two weeks ago I think.... definitely "open". Obviously theres no way to close the track, they just dont want bikers crossing the railway lines...
