Where are all the female riders on the Central Coast, NSW??

[Theresa]

Looking for some girls to ride with for a change! Either mountain or road biking (just got the roadie at xmas).

[Tash]

Hi, I would love to have some girls to ride with. I like cross country but I am only new to it.

[GrooveJet]

Hey Im in Newy and can get to Central Coast easily enough. I ride XC, usually with a bunch of guys, but I have ditched them lately due to their constant complaining!! :D

Havent ridden anywhere on the coast so would be keen to try it out.

[QUOTE=GrooveJet;1276277]Hey Im in Newy and can get to Central Coast easily enough. I ride XC, usually with a bunch of guys, but I have ditched them lately due to their constant complaining!! :D

Is there any chance we could meet up for a ride? Have no idea on places to go, and am inexperienced at riding, but fit enough.Am using a borrowed bike at the moment, just to make sure I like mtb before I splash out some cash.

[GrooveJet]

Would love to catch up for a ride, but I have a broken hand at the moment :mad: car v mtb = me not happy!

Anyway, hopefully the cast comes off in 4 weeks :) so maybe we can catch up then?

I think a regular girls Newcastle ride needs to be organised! Or is there one already?:confused:

[Roj]

Sorry to hear that.
I will have been out and about for longer by then! I'll keep logging on here for the meantime and hopefully we can get out there soon.
What's your fav tracks that aren't too technical around here?

[GrooveJet]

I mainly ride Glenrock unless its wet, then I go to Sugarloaf, but Im a bit scared of going out there now as I was riding home from a Sugarloaf trip when I had my accident.

Ourimbah is good too, but a bit techy.

I havent ridden Killingworth much so cant really comment.

Have fun & will catch up in a month or so.

[Theresa]

Hi Roj/Groovejet,
I'd be keen to join you on a ride when you want to organise one. I mainly ride at Ourimbah becuase it's my local but am definately keen to ride some new tracks so please let me know! I have ridden Killingworth once in the 12 hour and thought that was a good course.

I also joined the HMBC on their social ride a few months ago and had fun, even though I was the only girl! Hopefully there will be another one soon. Some parts were very sandy though.

[GrooveJet]

The cast is off!! :D
Just working on strengthening up my wrist and then Ill be ready to ride!!
Maybe 2 weeks time? Mid August?

[Theresa]

Good to hear! That time suits me :)

[Roj]

Am still trying to get out and about before joining up for a ride with you guys! Between the weather and sick kids it's been difficult!

Am trying to get to glenrock tomorrow 2/8 weather permitting if you are interested. Where's the best place to meet, approx 9am?

[GrooveJet]

Hi Roj,
Ill be at Glenrock tomorrow (weather permitting). Its my first ride back so I will be going super slow :( Im meeting a friend at the water tanks at gun club road at 10:30(ish). So if youre around come say hello.
Ill be wearing some form of brace on my right wrist & riding a red xtc2 :D

Hi, of course it's raining when I want to plan a ride! If I'm not there by 10.30 don't wait. My son has thrown a spanner in the works too by being sick. Hopefully he will be feeling better by tomorrow.
Hope it works out.Will be good to meet you!:)

[Theresa]

I'll be there too (weather permitting). I have a white Trance 1, 2006 model. It's supposed to be fine tomorrow...:)

[GrooveJet]

:DYAY! Looks like we've accidently organised a ride for tomorrow :D Hope you guys dont mind one of my male friends coming, he is really a big girls blouse so should fit in nicely heheheh

Glenrock
Tomorrow Saturday August 2nd
10:30am (there abouts, weekend time really)
Gun Club Rd near the water tanks

:)

[axie]

Be warned, Groovejet's "slow" will be twice as quick as the pace of her 'friend' ...

... I'll be the guy in a dress on a 2008 Trance x2.

Hey Groovejet and Theresa.
Glenrock will still be pretty slippery tomorrow. One suggestion I can give is when you ride lower kenny, you will cross some old coal train lines. Just after that, the track splits in two, take the trail to the right and follow it until it comes back on the left trail. Cross it and head up the single trail (ST) up to the top of the hill. You will come out between a couple of houses on scenic drive. Turn right on the road and ride about 100m until you get to the gate next to Bailey's house. Jump the fence and follow the fire trail down until you get to the BJ's surprise ST on the left. This will allow you to avoid the mess that is Bailey's paddock.
If I remember when I get home, I will post a link to the picture of a map I made.

[GrooveJet]

Big girls blouse indeed, so much in fact you are polluting the girls only forum!

There will be punishment for that tomorrow! :D

oh & thanks Macr, I hate Baileys Bog!!

[axie]

Thanks for that Macr.

By the way Groovejerk, your punishment for breaking your wrist the day I get a bike is to cross Baileys Bog, twice.

[Macr]

I also joined the HMBC on their social ride a few months ago and had fun, even though I was the only girl! Hopefully there will be another one soon. Some parts were very sandy though.
Groovejet was going to come along until it was postponed, but I don't know what you were worried about you showed up a lot of the guys with your abilities :)

[Macr]

oh & thanks Macr, I hate Baileys Bog!!

The red route penned in is the normal trail you would take. The blue route is the alternate. Note that you don't go to the far gate, but to the gate just after the old house.

Also the climb up is steep, but rideable and short.

[Theresa]

Hey, thanks for the ride today :) lots of fun! I haven't washed my bike yet because my hubby has decided to help with scores and to my shock is lending me his Cannondale Prophet to race tomorrow! So I'm very excited and feeling quite honoured :D (if you knew what he was like with his bike you'd understand!) It's even polished up nice and shiny.

Thanks again and I hope to see you at Ourimbah soon!

[Roj]

Sorry I didn't make it,more sick kids.They are still at it today too!!:(

Will keep an eye out for any posts for a ride this weekend.I'm jealous now that you got out there and I didn't!!Why is it when you are really itching to go, something always crops up?

By the way, do you promise to wait for me when I finally do get there?Word is you girls go like a rocket!

Not sure how the bike I'm on will hold up either.It's borrowed,and I know nothing about types/sorts of bikes and what they are used for.I think it's a Quantum wild? Will probably have modifications of some sort on it too.

[GrooveJet]

No worries Theresa :D Hope we didnt slow you down too much.
Am looking forward to Ourimbah! Just have to convince Adam to come with.

We will probably be going to Glenrock again this weekend, the more the merrier I say :)

[Roj]

What time are you thinking for Sat?Will you meet at the same place?

[GrooveJet]

Hi Roj,
Meeting tomorrow at 10:30am up near the water tanks just off Pacific Highway.
Not sure about the weather though, looks like rain so maybe we will can the ride if its wet :(

Ill be on the red xtc2 & in a beat up old Subaru & my friend Adam in on a black Trance & in a red honda civic.
see you there!

[Roj]

Thanks for showing me round on Sat!:) Might have in invest in some gloves though, hands were abit sore on Sun!Will have to get someone to check out the derailer, not changing gears as smooth as it should:( (Bloody sticks!!)
Thanks for waiting for me too.Hopefully with some more experience I'll quicken up.Didn't fall off either, which I was pleased about!I enjoyed the ride anyway.

[Roj]

Hi Groovejet,
Will you be heading out this weekend to Glenrock? Any chance of meeting up, if the storms don't cause havoc with the tracks?
