Hi All,

I live in Concord in Sydney and there doesn't appear to be any mountain bike clubs near me. I've just bought a lovely Giant Trance 2 and want to get riding off road, but can't seem to find someone to ride with. Can anyone help me?

Cheers,

Ace1 :)
 
You should speak to Terranik on here, she's just accross the other side of the river and I'd guess would be more than happy to meet other MTB girls.
Also if you want to know anything about the area in regards to stores, cyclepaths, training rides, road cycling or anything else like that ask me as I've been riding around this place for too long now.

For clubs, WSMTB would be the "local" club and I'd reccomend them, but MWMTB would be just as appropriate. For riding, Manly Dam, Blue Mountains down south (RNP) are your best bets. If you want to do cruisey road distances for fitness' sake then there's a few good quiet (almost car-free) loops on the cycleways around Rhodes, Silverwater and Olympic park.
 
Hey Ace!! I've been dobbed in - thanks Rik! *jokes* :)

Yeah I live just opposite Rhodes across the river in Meadowbank. I ride up in the Blue Mtns quite a bit, and am also new to the area (well... we've been here a year now, so not that new!) so I am really keen to find new riding spots.

Anyway I've PM me if you're interested in catching up for some rides. Maybe you can come with Beth and I, once poor Beth recovers!!!

Oh and don't forget to introduce yourself on the forum in "Introducing the Girls"

How about you let me know when your hand is better, Beth? I don't want you riding too early and damaging yourself further!!!

No more "I don't do pink" stickers for you, Kay - Next ones will be "The Flying Kiwi" in green :p
 
Hello There!

Hi There,

I live in Wollongong, but I'm open to ride near Sydney. There's also a few girls from down here who would be keen too. We could always meet somewhere in between like Sutherland.

Hi There

The last post was actually from me. I didn't realize I was automatically logged in as my boyfriend on our computer at home.

Drop me a line if you'd like to ride with a bunch of girls in Sutherland.

Yo ho ho...hey yak, I'm going to be in NZ later in the year. Maybe you could show me some good places to ride? Awesome.

Beth, hope you're feeling better and hope the hand is ok. I had dodgy wrists a while ago and it was a real pain (pardon the pun) :)

Have been wriding to and from work, but have had to use the old bike (a Trek 4400) as the new one (a Giant Trance 2) had dodgy forks and had to be sent to Melbourne. Still, the boys at the shop tell me it's back and feeling much better now, so I'll pick that up next week and...who knows from there?

Ace :)
