Details:

Heading to Red Hill for some trail riding this coming Saturday, so please join me if you are keen. I know the place pretty well so I can be your guide if needed. Eye-wink

Rough plan is to ride the "Main Trail" to the rock lookout ("Red Hill View"), then south around the ridge, through "Mr Motorcross" area to the "Rim Ride" sniggle. Then ride some of the other sniggle between the two main trails ("Corner Cut"/"No Name") on the way back to the cars. Something like that anyway.

I'm riding there on Sunday morning if you find yourself needing company but we'll start from the Academy as the fire trail after the dirt jumps was a mess last time I rode there.

Thanks for the invite Matt. I

Hi hakea,

Well maybe just come along and see how you go? At least I can show you where the good trails are for next time. I won't be going at "race pace" anyway...

Hi Budboy

I'm already meeting another guy off another forum there at 8:30 (and possibly someone else too) so I don't think I can change the meeting time. When were you thinking??

Cheers,

Were you there a couple of weekends ago riding with a few guys (2 on Nomads)?? I was on a Remedy.

If not then Fluro yellow HDs are becoming very common in that part of the world!

See you there

I am fairly new to mtb but will do my best to keep up if I can't, just finding where to go will be great.

hakea's picture

im not exactly sure whereabouts on red hill we are meeting or is there only one entrance? Is there a contact number in case i get find you?

hakea + Ben Swift - you have

hakea + Ben Swift - you have PM's Eye-wink

As I said in message, normally the gate is closed to the Red Hill Reserve (or road up to it) so I normally park on Lady Penrhyn Drive in Beacon Hill, opposite house No.39 to 41. We then can just ride straight onto the trail head (its a blue-stone gravel road coming off Lady Pen. Dr., with a gate to stop vehicles).

Hope to see you there somewhere.

MattP - nah wasn't me mate, haven't been to Red Hill for a little while now, nor do i have mates with Nomads.

Cheers,

No worries, embarrassing I stacked on the first rocky bit LOL. My foot just wouldn't come out of those pedals!

Hand and knee are pretty sore but I should heal ok eventually. Annoying being my first stack in so long and I didn't have my gloves! Sad

Hope you didn't get too lost. Did you come across Chrissy in the end?

Cheers,

We took the wrong turn and ended up walking our bikes up from the ridge above the sport academy down some underground crazy downhill truck. was a good ride overall.

And i was looking all over the the hill for the yellow ibis
