An open invitation to anyone who'd like to join in for a ride in the Bunyaville State Forest on a Sunday afternoon. The ride has been going since Mother's Day 2007 is on every Sunday. I will post up a reminder in this thread every Friday and also post an hour or two prior to the ride if it's ever to be called off due to bad weather or other problems.
Where & When: Departs the notice board at the top of Jurassic at 3.30 pm sharp every Sunday. You can also meet at my place at 3.00pm or at the gate close to Marara Ct at around 3.15pm. We finish back at the Jurassic Noticeboard around 5pm.
Pace: 
with plenty of rest stops. How it goes is we each go as fast as we can but then we all stop at the top of the bigger climbs and at trail junctions to allow everyone to catch up and have a breather. No one gets left behind and we proceed as fast as the slowest person, which is quite often me (d'oh!), but don't be at all concerned if it turns out to be you. It just gives everyone else more time to chat. 
Route: Will be one of these below (Click here for Bunyaville Trail Map)
Route 1: Jurassic > Creek > Kokoda > Carnage > around the dam > Steps > Nutcracker
Route 2: Creek > Bunker Rd > No Brakes > Steve Jones > Weenie > The Wall > Steps > Nutcracker
Route 3: Waynes World > The Dark Side > Minivan > ZigZag > GT Break > Creek
Route 4. Ironbark (Click here for Ironbark trail map): Linkfield Dr > Water Tank > Trickles > Ballbuster > Tunnel > Lanita Rail Trail > up Mango Tree (turn right at the intersection where the train crash sign is) > Sunset > back to Jurassic Noticeboard via IHTO2.
Route 5. The Reverse Route (Bunya): down GT Break > Up ZigZag > Down Hippy House (take the left fork and turn right at the end when you see houses) > along Northern break (take the right fork at the top of the first hill then turn left back towards the houses) > Along the boundary then up AS6 break > Up Jurassic > Down Policemans > Down Mindy > Up Nutcracker > Up Bunker > Up Creek.
There may be slight changes to these routes on the day depending on who shows up or what we're all in the mood for but the indicated starting points and times are firm.
What to bring: Mountain Bike, water, tools and spares.
Emergency Contact Details: Please carry a mobile phone (that doesn't require a PIN to access it) with your preferred emergency contact person listed under the name "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) in your contact list. Alternatively wear dog tags or carry a note in an obvious place in your back pack.
Legal: This is a social ride between friends with a common interest, not a race or professionally organised event. You ride at your own risk. There is no liable entity and no insurance to cover broken bodies or equipment in the event of a bingle. The final responsibility for all parties is ultimately that of the riders involved.
Hope to see you there!
