North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.

Did it today for the first time... wow! what a blast.

Superbly maintained and marked XC track, roller coaster has to be the best section of the whole track ( how much fun is that )

Did 3 laps and was keen for a 4th, but ran out of stuff to drink, even drank some old coke zero I found under the seat after lap 2 so I could do a 3rd lap Smiling ( it was hot out there today )

I'm in if it does not rain too much over the weekend.

Hint.. don't just follow your GPS like I did and drive the fire trails from Palmdale.. ( wow! what a blast in the car... not )

any thoughts on the wet? im happy to ride in the rain, are u'all?

It gets greasy in the wet. The wet roots on the switchback climbs make things - shall we say - interesting. I'd have Ignitors or similar on all round at a minimum. Crossmarks or Larsens will clog up quickly and be useless in damp conditions.

if it's not raining i'll be there the track does stand up to the rain quite well,& the rain hasn't been too heavy here.
