Questions & Answers

If you have a question, simply email us at sydneytosurfers@gmail.com.

What dates will the 2011 Macsim Sydney to Surfers ride be?

We’ll advise this as soon as we figure it out.

I want to ride in 2011 – can I put my name down now?

Thanks for your interest – you’ll have to wait until our entry forms come out in late October/early November and then fill it in and get it back to us.

That’s the best, fastest and easiest way to ensure you’ll secure a place.

Will I be able to enter online?

Nope, not at this stage (but our web guy is trying to talk us into it!).

Where does the ride start?

The ride starts at the carpark of the Hornsby TAFE College in Jersey Street on the Western Side of the Railway Line.

What hours in the day do we generally ride?

Varies from group to group – take 8am as your starting point most days.
We stop for morning tea and lunch.

What experience level is required for the ride?

In terms of ftness, we have lots of different packs  (12-16 in each Pack) who do the ride at different speeds.

The Pack 1 lads tend to go as fast as they can.  Pack 2 is a bit slower, and down the Packs it goes (and before those Pack 3 people from 2010 say anything, yes I know you guys were faster than pack 2 this year!).

Some people do it fast, many do it at a leisurely pace.

Obviously you need a good level of fitness to be able to complete the ride – we have ages ranging from 18 to 75 completing the ride.

I have a complaint about the web site. Who do I complain to?

Jack Sinclair is a 17 yo lad who created and manages our web site for us for free and updates it with all the information he gets.

If you have a complaint about Jack then, unfortunately, you’ll have to get through the 100 or so riders who love the young fella!!

Seriously, if you’d like something added to the web site – photos or videos or stories – then he’d love to have them.

Email him at jack@sydneytosurfers.org.au.

Do you have a forum on the site?

Not anymore – we did have one but it hardly got any use and didn’t provide much value (plus it gets plenty of spam we need to delete on an ongoing basis).

I have photos/videos/stories/etc that could be good for the web site. Where shall I send them?

Thanks – we’d love to have them.

This web site is set up so we can show tons of photos, video, audio, etc – if you have anything please shoot it through to jack@sydneytosurfers.org.au.
